Haha no joke. Well at least its only 1500, this year, 1800 next year, and 1200 the year after next?
BRZ's will be WAY more exclusive though, but the 86 is better looking

I got these from fellow member KI_ZN6 very good and quick to deal with.

Boot


License plate lights - normal lightning


License plate lights - night lighting


License plate lights - night lighting - 'flood effect' from lights

I got my TRD goodies yesterday.. and my BeatSonic shark fin this morning.
Here's some pics after the installation.

Still have to install the TRD Door Stabilizer set though. I called up City Toyota service to see if they can help me 'crack' open the countersunk 10mm phillips head holding the door clasp.

Also still have to install the CUSCO Oil/Air separator


BeatSonic(D4S)





TRD Strut Brace





TOP SECRET Bonnet Damper

TRD Door Stabilizers

TRD Door Stabilizers

FINALLY got them installed. Thanks to Chriss and Terry from CITY TOYOTA NORTHBRIDGE SERVICE CENTRE
The damn metal bolts holding them are almost impossible to get off.

There is a noticeable and pleasant 'thud' when closing the door now. Haven't driven the car with them on to notice any difference in handling. Honestly I suppose I got it for the w*nkfactor and cos I'm a brand-whore. lol

Here's some installed pics.






Now.. next things to do.
Order the following
TRD Sports Panel Air Filter (Part Number: MS155-00009): 8700Yen
TRD Fuel Cap Cover (Part Number: MS360-00001): 4000Yen
TRD Billet Aluminium Oil Cap (Part Number: MS112-18001): 10500Yen
TRD Front Brake Pad Set (Part Number: MS225-18001): 15400Yen
TRD 1.3 Bar Radiator Cap(Still have to find out the P/N and cost)

RS-R's and Braille

Picked up my RS-R coil overs off a fellow ft86club member tonight.
These RS-R's are slightly used, probably like a months use if that, but I prob saved a couple hundred off the normal price.

Some pics of the RS-R's











Also purchase ordered a "Braille" lightweight battery. Namely the B14115.

Specs are:
Weight: 5.2kg
Length: 147mm
Width: 86mm
Height: 147mm
PCA904
Ah 15

Also got a battery tender(for when the car is parked) and a smaller mounting strap. Just under $360 AUD total(including freight).
