Lost my sword, got a pair of scalpels

great addition,

would like to hear story/ see footage of what happened to your z33.

I remember when you gave me a ride in it during autocross, definitely felt faster than my s2000 at that time.

Nice choice(es)!
The Toyota 86 was on our shopping list - in fact, the Nissan was only an after-thought when I saw the one which eventually became ours come up on Auto Trader. Nissan dealer was literally right beside the Toyota store, so I thought we'd check it out first. And the rest is history. I would have liked to test a manual FRS (only driven the auto one, and only very briefly). How would you compare the Toyota vs Nissan transmissions and clutches?

Enjoy these in good health (and yours with some speed!)

The FRS clutch is lighter, but also a bit vague compared to the Z. (The 86 forums have a thread for removing a spring that fixes the vague part but makes the clutch heavier)

FWIW, I think the powertrian stuff is Subaru-sourced.

Cool deal. Still kicking butt and taking names behind the wheel I see.
