Yeah, agreed, but its all about the street cred... and no spoiler on the back just makes the end of an E87 look like the ass of a dog with a docked tail.

I might grab one in the future, Ill add it to my list of not atrocious e87 spoilers. I wonder if any of these stop the insane amount crap that gets sucked onto the hatch

That replaces the aero spoiler, the tail gates are the same on all E87s. Aerospoiler is just double sided taped to the existing top of the hatch

Thats the best E87 spoiler around I rekon, along with the factory aero option. Just the price is silly.. There are heaps of chinese carbon ones available on Aliexpress etc, mostly ripoff of the ACS version.

Now in E91 330 as well, the E87 versions fascia is a better design than E91s.. all the heated seats etc all work through the headunit though which is trick. This is the same basic hardware as my E87 one, but is on android 10. Also sounds 100000% better than the stock business stereo, the stronger built in amp makes a huge difference to the subs output.

Dumped $700 on batteries, both 130 and 330 batteries decided to sh*t emselves in same week... I blame Jacinda.

But they keep mounting them ass about tit...

4 pot... who puts a titanium bazooka on a 116? Im on the lookout for a new rear box... but.. bit too JDMAF for me

BMW are dead to me.

West side of Taupo after Desert road at Turangi, over the Whakamaru dam and down Old Taupo road

I want that interior, its badass. Saw a 116i yesterday in red, with a full coral red non msport interior, bizarre options ticking.

Teflon bushes require trimming, wondering if they fixed the kit or not? Its a night and day difference aye

Dont you start... that guy spams his videos everywhere.

Ive nearly bought a Mk IV R32 a few times, but its just understeer central when loaded up, 130s are more fun. A Gti Is probably more fun to be fair, without the soundtrack, GTi at least understeers without having to drag around the extra weight of a drive shaft/haldex/diff/halfshafts... Haldex's of that generation are poop.

Seems to be particularly flaky at the moment? Or is it just me...

Explains why they had to edge out the R32s numbers by introducing the high output N52 with the 130, or it'd look even worse on paper. R32s sound immense, and the Golf IV seats are epic (V's are meh) but dynamically the 130 is WAY more entertaining... dunno if its 20k more entertaining though. Would take a special kind of person to throw 90+k at an optioned out hatchback.

Was just looking up some prices of old cars for giggles, and thought Id look up the price of a 130i in NZ in 2006. Base model 130i automatic - $79900 ( I read somewhere the cupholders were an 800 british pound option) Base model 5 door Golf R32 DSG - $58,790, all the options would take it to ~$68000... Wonder why they didnt sell many...

I went and looked up how much a GTiR, (probably the most comparable car of the 90s?) was new NZ in 1993 - $45,000 or nearly $77,000 in today money.

Ooo thats nice! The black LCI one was listed for around 13 originally, 10k is pretty good buying I rection.

Yeah, lady who owns it is on the 130i faceballs group, its definitely been loved and looked after. Nice car.

Sporty Econo Box - 300bhp 1200kg hatch with mechanical front and rear LSDs, aluminium doors and a carbon roof? Thats nearly a group A WRC rally cars specs

Way more trick than the poor mans golf GTI, and much faster (and will be rarer). The i30N is cool because Hyundai made a fun car instead of its usual midrange whiteware on wheels, but compared to other cars in the class its pretty generic (and a 130 is faster! ? ) It really is a throw back to the old Toyota days of making oddball entertaining cars, like Starlet GT and SC MR2s etc. I hope it does spur manufacturers to stop making shitty generic compact SUVs, bring back the days of GTiRs and Silvias

Lot of money for a little car, its cool to see Toyota realising theyve been boring as snot for the last 25 years are fixing it... Saw a rumour that this engine will be in the new MR2 as well, pretty strange days when 3 cylinders are cool

Wonder how much they'll sell for in NZ? 40-50k ?
