Kai's 2017 Toyota 86

[86Kai]

Thanks for the kind words. Just got an alignment and a full detail, so I felt she was photoshoot worthy again. She still needs her hubcentric rings, and center caps, but those are arriving later this month.

Still waiting on a couple of items until I can consider my interior complete (for now). Eventually would like to re-upholster the interior.

If anyone is wondering what my wheel setup is, here it is:

IIRC, it's a 2" drop all around. I use the "one finger fitment" rule. There is about a finger of space between the top of the tire, and the top of the wheel arch.

No rubbing at all!

They will poke on stock height, but they won't rub.

The exhaust is the HKS Spec-L Catback system with Titanium tips.

On to the photos:

Want to give a special thanks to MXPi Tuning for helping me install stuff, and TF Works & FT86SF for the parts and customer service!

I suppose "Stage 0" is nearing completion now. I wanted it to have a distinctly "street car" look, and I think I've accomplished that. Bigger and crazier things will be coming soon! But I think my wallet needs a break first.

Some slight interior work while waiting for parts. Converted the silver stitching into red!

My original plan was to buy replacement pieces that had red stitching, but it would have been a couple hundred bucks, and I'd need to take apart the door. I said fuck that and decided to see how this would turn out.

Didn't do the steering wheel yet, not sure if I want to. The silver stitching matches the silver accents on the wheel.

Choosing the right marker is important. Gotta find an ultra-fine brush tip that will allow the ink to spread and blotch instead of a pen, which is what I did at first. The driver door took me over two hours because I was using a pen and literally coloring the thread in.

Luckily, the passenger side and knee pads took less than thirty minutes with the new marker!



I got this one from Jo Ann Fabrics, it's like seven bucks and works great. If you color onto the suede or leather by accident, it's pretty forgiving. Just wipe it quickly with your finger.

Results:








Can't see the passenger side stitching clearly, but I swear it's red!

Bonus:

Love the Bride seats, and the Volk wheels, and well everything. Looks tough. Excited to see where you go next with your car.

Thanks man!

They are Gram Lights, not Volks though.

Next month or later this month, I am probably going to get the TRD Carbon Fiber fender canards, and the TRD trunk spoiler. Then my "stage 0" can finally be done.

Right now, I'm just waiting on some more interior bits to come in until the interior is done for now.

Finally my Magna F Sport Gauge Cluster came in.

Hey man, I am from Chicago and have the same wheels, but in gloss. I live off of 25 and 68 and let me know if ever want to meet up.

Does this seem like this is going to hold up? If so I would definitely buy the suede 2017 arm rests and do this!

I believe so, the markers are permanent fabric markers. I haven't smudged anything on my clothes or skin yet. If it fades, you could always touch it up!

Got my new Valenti Fourth Brake Light installed.

Yes, I was there! Thanks!

Very nice attention to detail, love your '17! Keep up to good work.

I was inspired by your red stitching so ordered myself a marker. Looking forward to doing what you did
