Hi everyone,

I've been on the board for a while and I figured it was time I open a thread about my car and the few mods I have done so far.

So it's a 2012 model, I picked it up with 8km on the odometer. As of May '16 it is at 85k km, tons of fun and not a single hitch that wasn't covered under warranty.

Here is family portrait, car wise.

Like I mentioned, I have done a few minor mods and I try to keep it as OEM as possible. The goal is to keep the car reliable and usable as a DD while improving the fun on and off the track. And some purely cosmetic mods sneaked in, I couldn't resist.

OEM parts:

TRD : door stabilzers, pic.
TRD : trunk spoiler, see below.
Toyota : central armrest, pic.
Toyota : GT86 rear view mirror, pic.
Toyota : Camry wide throttle pedal (heel-and-toe friendly), pic and details in this thread.
Toyota : hinge covers, pic.
Toyota : illuminated trunk button, pic and see this thread.
Toyota : black shift knob (SU00300883) as seen here.
Toyota : camber bolts, see this thread.
-> replaced by coilvers, see below.
STI : start button, pic.
STI : steering rack bushings, details here.
STI : steering rack bolts from BRZ tS, details here.
STI : rear suspensions bolts from BRZ tS, details here and there.
STI : strut bar, see below.
Subaru : oil cooler (Forester XT set-up), details here.
Subaru : bolt covers, pic.
Subaru : MY2015 suspension nuts and bolts, details here.
Subaru : MY2015 shark fin antenna, pic and details here.
Subaru : Legacy 2.5T slave cylinder, details here..
Subaru : Impreza GT 16" wheels with Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D 205/55/16, pic.

Non OEM parts:

Oil/water temp gauge : Pivot DXW, see this thread.
Mishimoto FT86-specific catch can, details here.
Radium Engineering brake stopper.
Nameless cam plate.
Milltek exhaust (resonated primary catback) see this thread.
Porsche brake spoilers, details here.
Enkei RPF1 17" by 7.5" ET48 with sticky Pilot Sport Cup 2s in 225/45/17.
Carbotech pads (XP10 front, XP8 rear).
