Spot on Hz. The fastest car I've ever driven (ironically an MX-5 but one with 400bhp+) was fun in the "holy shit I'm going to die" sense, whereas lower power cars are fun in a more childish mischief sense.

Well you can make any stat look good or bad based on the spin you put on it.bengatta wrote:any updates on the diameter of the air vents???
So I can confirm that when I put the vernier across the vent, I can get a measurement that is 86mm pic to cum when I think of it.

Good investigative work... maybe keep a set of verniers in the car at all times for future investigations...Bauer wrote:Well you can make any stat look good or bad based on the spin you put on it.bengatta wrote:any updates on the diameter of the air vents???

Re: My 2012 Toyota 86
I've seen an 86 today up close at the westfield's - it was on display - I sat in, walked around had a few good looks at it.
I quite like it, I gotta say. I'll probably have to drive it see what it's really like, it maybe a replacement for my aging 380...
Oh, and I haven't driven a manual here at all. That's the only thing I've driven at home for 10 years, but the stick is on the wrong side now...

Well if you don't mind paying the fuel bills, the CX-9 is a lovely car. And you got in before Mazda uglified it with the CX-5's front end.Hazelb wrote:Yeah, I'm calling it my CX27, it's my third one...

Re: My 2012 Toyota 86
Any more details to what else did they have to do with the setup? other then the Safety features eg roll cage etc.
