The TRD GT 86

Yet another car, today, do I reveal to you that Japan has made with the spirit of speed and agility in mind that we, the Americans, do not have!


The TRD GT 86 is just a modified stock 86, but it looks like so much more!  The new body kit is so fresh!  I want it!!!  It's so beautiful and they won't bring the freaking thing to America!!!

They need to do something like this with an FR-S in America, or I'm going to Toyota Headquarters in Japan and pooping on their doorstep.


Anyway, enough trash talk and ranting even though I don't feel like doing much technical writing today, because work has me tapped out!

Just look at those wheels...





The car is going to feature redone racing seats on the interior, and I'm sure it's going to have the little amenities that normal GTs don't have, including a new shift knob or some cool stitching or something, which is pretty cool considering my Type-S came with a cool shift knob and a new transmission and I KNOW that my car is about ten times faster because of it.

This lady will also be sporting one of TRD's own unique body kits, featuring a new front bumper, side skirts, and rear diffuser with some 18" rims to boot!  Pretty snazzy, eh?  ;)

Suspension tweaks include cross-bracing, carbon-fiber strut tower bars, and I'm sure there's gotta be some other chassis mods going into it or something.  Maybe it's lower?  I don't know, you tell me.

There's going to be a high-performance exhaust!

I'M HYPER!!!!

So long,

Oh, by the way...STI or TRD?  You choose.

Jake's GTI?


The picture says it all.  A couple of nights ago, I decided I'd head out to Levittown for a Levittown Car Club Meet and I ended up here, at the Home Depot in the shopping center on New Falls Road.


My boy Jake was out with his daily driver, a Mark IV Volkswagen Rabbit GTI and I just so happened to have my Nikon D40 Camera with my kit lense and my trusty Quantaray Tripod.


As usual, I took as many photos as I could with as little light possible, and some of 'em turned out alright.  Anyway, lets talk about Jake's GTI.


Jake's got some bangin stock VR6 rims attached to a stock suspension setup, although a set of Eibach lowering springs are in order.


His turbocharged 1.8 Liter breathes through an AEM Cool Air Intake which resides right under the front left fender.  If you didn't know, the MAF sensors on the new AEM Intakes are digital, and they do not protrude into the path of air flow.  Less obstructions in your intake means smoother airflow to your intake manifold or turbine.


I drove the car around the parking lot and the engine revs so smoothly.  The turbo spools when you're going into reverse!  It's ridiculous, hahah.  #Naturallyaspiratedhondaboyy1


While chillin' at the meet, my boy Tyler also wanted me to catch a few flicks of his detailed Impala with custom straight pipes, but I was kinda tired so I only did a couple.  Here's the other one that I edited, below!


SLAMMIN'!

Stay tuned in for more sh**!
