new car GT86

[tidyneil]

although im a honda nut i recently sold my EK9 and opted for a new car, took delivery of my red GT86 on the 8/05/13
still running it in for 1000 miles but very nearly there with help from a recent japfest trip, def a better daily drive and seems to have more grip than the reviews gave it credit for. anyway let me know what you's think, Neil

 

[Gav-EK9]

congrats mate, nice cars these

 

[_BILLY_ZR_]

very nice, are these easy to get more bhp from ? if so I'd really like one in the future as the power figures are a bit of a let down.

 

[tidyneil]

ive took it to the red line once and i was impressed by it, its not as slow as i was lead to believe, its revs pretty freely, but its all about the chassis and handling really

 

[CR1S]

Do very much like these
From what I've heard they are very hard to get power out of.
Be interesting to see if they bring a higher power model out later on.

Power figures are a let down on paper,
That's not what they are about.
They are ment to be a fun involving drive though

was looking for you at japfest duncan, spoke to the guy with the convertible s800 but he didnt know where you were.

Great car buddy

 

[tama666]

Very nice handling car.

 

[banzai_ek9]

Closest car to a ek9. But i thought it was slower than a ek9.

Did you get a manual?

I tried the automatic as well with the flappy padels and that was awesome.

 

[edialeda]

awesome car this is you can drift even driving only for 20mph

 

[tidyneil]

Yeah it's not as quick on B roads as an ek9 but it's def as much fun, if not more, yeah I went for the manual, you can set a shift light and beep to whatever rev limit you want, just small touches like that make it fun

if i was to move away from honda i think these are the choice. very nice in red..


how would you compare it to the s2000? thats if you ever had one to compare..

 

[murrayc1991]

Looks good, still prefer an ek9 but each to their own.

Yeah I had an s2000 as well, the s2000 was more race car, stiff suspension etc, but when it let go it was hard to catch/hold it, plus it only had 2 seats which just wasnt handy for me, it was def quicker though, and I'm still waiting for vtec to kick in lol.
