I remember the gearing being a bit odd from seeing it featured in a few games like Gran Turismo & Forza. I think you hit about 50kph in 1st at redline, 100 in 2nd, 150 in 3rd, 200 in 4th, 230 in 5th, & 260 in 6th. So the first four gears are a bit tall, the last two being a bit shorter. My numbers may be off since I'm from the US so my conversions may be incorrect. A shorter final drive will keep it in the power band more often for sure

@Cappuccino1992 4 года назад

Fun fact. The Toyota Altezza was meant to the modern day AE86 of its time. Same engineer as the original AE86 and the JZA80 (Supra brakes are a bolt on too). Bore and stroke was 86x86 like the FA20. Asisin gearbox in the 86/FRS is based on the JC160. Essential it's the ugly middle sister between the AE86 and the newer 86. Yes it's a larger sedan but with the right suspension mods is very coupe like with its handling. They are also holes in the rear parcel shelf for eye bolts so you can run a harness. Can't wait until I can import one in Australia would be perfect next to our AE86 and 2012 86.

@Patrick94GSR 4 года назад

One thing the Altezza/IS had going for it was its double wishbone front suspension, as opposed to the FRS/86 with McPherson struts. Even the old AE86 had a variation of McPherson-type front struts.

It was an absolute weapon on track. Definitely a car with a lot of potential if you have the money. And those Yamaha/toyota 3sge beams motors are phenomenal! They can take so much abuse. Ill definitely get another one someday. My only complaint with them is that they're a bit heavy for that motor

Larry The Lobster in other countries they're called "Altezza or Rs200's" they came with a 4 cylinder 2.0 non turbo 3SGE Motor commonly called the BEAMS motor. Higher revving non turbo engine as opposed to 2nd gen MR2s that came with a 3sgte that had a turbo. It's a common swap for Ae86 Corolla cars . I recommend Wikipedia to learn a few more stuff about the BEAMS I love the way they sound.

I have the euro GXE10, same j160 but a 2 litre straight 6. It comes with the 4:3 lsd and the gearing is nice, still able to cruise at 3000 rpm. A Cusco rear sway bar and the OEM lowering springs available new from Eibach improve the balance and roll quite a bit. But their geometry is a lot better and more adjustable than most modern cars. Lots of caster from factory, double wishbone front and rear. The biggest problem is once you get used to how comfortable they are to be in, you lose motivation to reduce weight haha. The other biggest problem is that the electronic throttle makes the car a bit lazy, and you can't remove it without limp mode

2nd gear feels long? I like to do autocross, and from that perspective it's advantageous to be able to go 66mph in 2nd gear. I overhear people with 6-speed Miatas walking the course and having to plan where they'll shift up to 3rd gear, and back down. My 240SX and my Evo tend to run a whole course in 2nd gear. For driving to and from an event, that Altezza is geared really dang short. It has an overdrive, but not much of one. The 6th gear ratio means that in a 70 zone (doing 75mph) the engine would be buzzing along at 3600 rpm. Could a transmission from an IS250 or a GT86 go in that car? 2nd gear wouldn't change much, but they each have a taller overdrive.

We need more of that Yaris (White w/ red wheels) that entered the frame at the very end of the video.

Plus, I like how small cars are "tuned" to go faster than their econo roots portray. Having 15 yo import laws vs 25 yo import laws in the U.S. really helps get the neat stuff from Japan a lot quicker.

the gears arent really long, theyre fairly normal too close for a car of the age and performance catergory. 3rd may seem long, but you get the joy when you shift to 4th.

Here in Europe we had the Lexus IS200 with a 2litre straight 6 putting out around 155hp. It was nice, but lacked power. The IS300 was overpriced, more than double the price of the IS200, especially here in Norway. (Edit: Thanks to @Nico van Duin for pointing out wrong horsepower number for the IS200)
