Whats for you and your FT-86/086a - Autocross, Circuit, Drifting, Touge, Drag Racing?

**FT-Omnom** · 10-15-2009, 10:29 PM

Considering this will be brand spankin new car that will put us all (or most) in debt I wanted to see what form of motorsport moistens your panties the most for you own use, if you bought a new FT-86 or 086a?

For me, I will have to say the Track/AutoX and Touge. I wont drift unless I get some serious track time with it.

**Udon!** · 10-17-2009, 11:39 AM

drift, untill my body panels are missing.

**West** · 10-18-2009, 10:52 AM

Ill do everything besides Drag! :\

**FT-Omnom** · 10-20-2009, 06:10 PM

Bah! This car should be a champ on the Drag, but its heart will be track/drift.

**Jason** · 10-25-2009, 08:50 PM

Drift for sure! The ft-86 is going to awesome at it.

**Cal** · 10-25-2009, 10:31 PM

Tight corners and high speed.

**Exitspeed** · 10-26-2009, 08:18 AM

Auto-X and road racing for me. No drift and no drag for me.

The only mods I'd be willing to do would be suspension, and wheels. I'd consider a nice front lip and rear valences, and possibly a nice high quality exhaust.

Over-all I wanna keep it low and stock-ish.

**Cal** · 10-26-2009, 08:30 AM

^Add to that JDM aero (you know its going to look better than ours) and I am sold.

**dflwrx** · 10-26-2009, 08:45 PM

Mine will get light duty in autocross, circuit, drag racing and some drifting as well. However, since it'll be my DD and I already have a track project, this will likely see mostly autocross and light circuit use.

**Artie** · 10-27-2009, 10:41 AM

Road racing, some autox since it's cheaper, but mostly road racing.

**Black** · 10-27-2009, 09:36 PM

Time Attack

**Artie** · 10-29-2009, 10:25 AM

ye, this should be great time attack car. What class?

**Exitspeed** · 10-29-2009, 11:03 AM

First thing I'd do is get an extra set of wheels and tires for Auto X. Oh and switch over to Mobil 1.

**Artie** · 10-29-2009, 04:38 PM

Mobil 1? any reason?

Also, something lame to note. If changing your oil yourself and stop going in for "regular rip off maintenance" you will void the warranty. Although I bet most of us will be perfectly ok with that. As long as they cover the transmission I'm good

I used to use it in my Eclipse. I just liked it. I beat that car so bad throughout it's life and I never had any issues.

Are dealers really doing that? I'm gonna just try an negotiate free oil changes for as long as i have the car when I purchase it.

It's not that bad, all you have to do is proof that you change your oil yourself or at the other shop. Receipt for the oil purchase will do it.

Cool, sadly I never looked into that when I worked at Toyota haha. Makes sense though.

Again, I should have thought about that

They will obviously want to sell you extra crap if you try and negotiate that. I will definitely do this when I go to buy mine, those $40 "Maintenance" items are such crap.

**DownhillMR2** · 11-01-2009, 04:01 PM

Mine will be dedicated to AutoX, normal high-speed driving and cornering, and drift.

**I was Imprezed** · 11-01-2009, 08:59 PM

road racing for me.

**Cone** · 11-05-2009, 11:32 PM

I'll use it as my DD and drifter, I'll have to sell the S14 to get this thing, so I'll need something to drift!

Win. Ill drift it all day every day!

**a2cpc** · 11-12-2009, 07:25 AM

If I get one, it would be my DD. Most likely it would see a drag strip once(just to see my time), autocross (not often, because of my work schedule), track day(more like, at least one, driving school) and trips on 2 lane roads whenever I can.

**ra23celica** · 11-16-2009, 12:28 AM

Mine will serve DD duties but the plan is to auto-x, hillclimb, circuit sprints and targa stages on closed public roads.

**randomxzero** · 11-16-2009, 02:29 PM

if i were to get one probably tooj and some autox

**RollerBoy** · 11-17-2009, 02:06 AM

All of the above! and even perhaps rally if they will have a AWD platform

**RollaMonster** · 12-12-2009, 02:52 PM

auto-x most likely. boise doesn't have any real drifting set up yet but if everything goes according to plan i try it (depends onhow much debt it puts me in

)
