    It's English in origin. But it's the second largest city in Australia so that is generally what people think of when they hear my name.

    Im an Aussie, i have owned a 2000 WRX and 2004 WRX, but now have a R32 GTR, and my other car is a 1975 TA27 Celica that is yet to be complied and registered. Im planning on keeping the GTR until the FT-86 is released

    cheers,
    Shaun, 22, Victoria, Australia

    Nice roll call of cars Shaun, well done. I don't think the FT-86 is going to be as quick as the R32 when you change over... :-)

    I bet it wont be as quick either, 330kw at the wheels is not easy for a Subaru engine. But unless you like a car that rattles, squeaks and needs every rubber bush and coolant hose replaced (over 30 in the GTR's!) the FT-86 would still be enjoyable.

    On another note i have a nice closed deck Subaru motor just waiting for some 2.5 sleeves. I have a pair of heads that have been machined for 1mm oversized valves. I bet the FT-86 would get up and go with that in it!

    My car is 34 years old and suffers the same problems - labour of love, still brings a smile to my face every time I drive it.
    That combo of bits sounds perfect for an FT-86, looks like an aftermarket of hot gear and good ideas is starting to build up for it already.

    Welcome Ben. The car might be known as the FR-S by the time it comes to Australia. Hassle your local Toyota dealer for info on its release and see what they say. Hopefuly they will be polite!

    It started in Europe. I remember hearing my first Hardstyle song when I was about 18 - back in 2003.....It went crazy for a few years, but now it's really mainstream, like there's kids 13-14yo around my area that shuffle.....Super gay!!! I just listen to the tracks from back in the day and shuffle around my house.....No more clubs, plus the music these days - compared to back in 05-06 that's played is shit IMO. I love it real hard and it just isn't anymore.....

    What kind of hip-hop and hard rock are you into? I don't think badly of you, I can't dance at at all.

    I like most hip-hop from old school e.i: Outkast, snoop, pac to new lil john, t-pain, lil wayne etc...

    Hard rock I like a bit of everything again, old school like Led Zepplin, Def Leppard etc to new stuff like Illnino and a bit of bullet for my valentine.....
