Bought it new in August '09. Obsessively maintained since day 1. Mobil 1 Full synthetic oil since the first oil change. Royal purple gear oil at 50,000 miles.
Just did motor oil (at 3,000 miles same as always) a few weeks ago. Cleaned air filter and the MAF sensor. Also swapped the gear oil (2nd time in 90k mi) a few weeks ago on the same day as motor oil.
Car is beautiful and was tastefully modified. Transmission shifts smoothly every time. Clutch still grabs hard. Car has operated perfectly every time I went to start it.
Never been stranded anywhere. Starts up fast. Car sounds amazing. Turns heads everywhere, but never been hassled by the Police about it. Has a deep smooth tone with no rasp.
Was worth the extra money for a nice sounding exhaust. OEM cats and resonators still attached, car is inspection friendly.
This car is fun and fast. On the backroads, it keeps up with much faster cars. Pulls hard on the highway too due to short gearing, but the twists and turns are where this car shines.
Gets great MPGs (26-30) if you can resist not romping on it.
90,500 miles seems like a lot, but when maintained properly these motors will go forever. Most damage to cars with high miles is done by the aging process. Rubber oxidizes and becomes brittle,
metal rusts etc.
All 4 rotors and brake pads replaced at 82,000 miles.
This car is young still. Zero rust. All the rubber hoses and bushings are pristine and like new.
No accidents ever. Some cosmetic work done after taking hail damage in 2011.
New spark plugs at 60k when car went in for a tune up.
Fuel treatment performed regularly for healthy flowing injectors.
Often I am asked what kind of car it is. Have been confused for Evo, Audi, Subaru etc.
I have all the stock/oem parts if you would prefer to revert back to stock. ex- OEM Exhaust, OEM Air box, OEM Front grills, OEM springs.
This car is one of the most passenger friendly coupes ever. PLENTY of room for people in the back. Back seats recline. Plenty of trunk space as well.
LOUD stereo that came with the car. 190W Pioneer with 6" subwoofer under panel in the trunk.

Car has never had ANY mechanical problems. Only time the check engine came on was due to gas cap not being clicked 3 times. New gas cap installed days ago to ensure perfect seal.
Very very safe car all around, 5 star ratings and such.
Excellent car to learn manual trans on.

Black "Grillcraft" front grills upper and lower - $150
Clear "Winjet" corner fog lights - $100
Lo-Beams are 8000k HIDs and Fog lights are 3000k HIDs - $150
Hi-Beams are PIAA XTREME WHITE 4000k 'Offroad use only' bulbs. Amazing amount of light. Must be courteous to other drivers however, these will practically blind you - $80

Tein S-Tech Lowering springs $200 - Professionally installed by Tarrytown Auto
Car almost NEVER scrapes. Perfect amount of drop. Wheels look perfectly tucked. Stiffer ride than stock provides a performance increase and helps you really feel the road.
Lower car = Lower center of gravity = Higher lateral G's while cornering!
Weapon R: Secret Weapon Short Ram Intake $260
Tanabe Medallion Concept - G Exhaust $400
De-badged the rear by replacing trunk hatch handle with a de-badged version. (FYI tc trunk/hatch handles break easily. It is a known design flaw. Mine started to break so I replaced it.) - $80
TRD Billet Aluminum Oil Cap
Black Billet Aluminum TRD Badge
OEM wheels are painted Matte Black with "Plasti Dip" They look amazing.
Front tires are brand new from a few weeks ago. W Rated Westlake SV308 VERY VERY GRIPPY
Rear tires are Nankang NS-1 from last fall. 65% tread left. H Rated. Also very grippy.

Running lights, interior dome lights, reverse lights and license plate lights are all LEDs. Rear turn signals also LEDs. Corner markers in front came with clear bulb, replaced it with amber for deeper orange/amber glow.

The Bad:
Small dent on passenger door from a passenger opening it carelessly and allowing it to hit a nearby cars mirror. You have to look for it to find it. Nobody notices.
Some small areas of curb rash on wheels, but unnoticeable due to Plasti Dip paint.
Somehow the door handles got a bit scraped up. To this day I don't know how. . . All of this is very minor stuff.

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of

Toyota GT86 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table

Fri, 02 May 2014

Okay Toyota, make up your mind. Figure it out. Quit playing games with our heart. Either build a bunch of variations of the excellent GT86 (also known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) or don't. At this point, we're just tired of the back and forth. After no shortage of denials, an Australian website is claiming that Toyota is reconsidering convertible, four-door, turbocharged and all-wheel-drive hybrid variants of the GT86. Kindly pass all the salt.
It's not that we don't want to believe the Aussies; we do. But when the story lists the same "sources in Japan" as a lot of the other denials and confirmations about GT86/BRZ/FR-S variants, well, there's a certain sense of the "Boy That Cried Wolf," here. Ignoring all that, then, what does Motoring.com.au claim to know?
Sources claim the GT86 Convertible will arrive in October 2014, while the turbocharged and hybrid sedans are slated for 2016.

Toyota 86 most likely to get more power through more displacement? [w/poll]

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

The Sydney Morning Herald has spoken to Tetsuya Tada, chief engineer of the Toyota 86 (our version of it, the Scion FR-S, is pictured above), and they've been promised that more power is on the way. We've heard a lot of speculation about a more powerful Toyobaru since before the standard model was even launched. The only question now is how the power will be delivered, and among the engine concepts we've already heard about - turbo, supercharger, twin-charged, hybrid - is a new one: more displacement.
Tada said that an engine with more displacement than the current coupe's 2.0 liters is being tested alongside a turbocharged and a hybrid-assisted motor. The SMH cites "inside sources" as saying the displacement option is the one likely to get the go-ahead, and suggests increased bore and stroke will see the engine grow to 2.5 liters, horsepower to about 250 - a 50-hp increase over the present car.
While that's apparently the betting man's solution for the long-awaited increase in gumption, what happens with the next generation could be more wide open than we suspected. According to the report, Tada "hinted that [a successor] could be a radically different car, potentially dropping the boxer engine altogether." He said once they've sorted out the concept for the second generation car, then they'll sort out an engine. That's where a turbo option could come to market, perhaps the turbocharged four-cylinder Toyota is developing for the Lexus NX crossover or a hybrid system that uses a capacitor.
