Yes, this. TRD stuff is all factory options. More of a 'sport suspension' option than a mod. I would have just ordered it that way, but the wait was going to be too long. You can also get it as a dealer installed accessory. All warrantied the same as the car and won't void the cars factory warranty. I also was able to get it cheaper than had I ordered it compliments of a very nice employee at Longo Toyota. |

I think it's just you lol.
The cap sits pretty securely into the door when opened and the leash is long enough that the cap will hang below the fender anyway if it fell? |

But I do kinda miss those unsecured twist-off gas caps from the first generation Celica coupes. I always felt like there was some cool value there.

I am unfortunately getting a bit too experienced (6 months from 40). What I would give to be young and ignorant again. Some might think this a mid life crisis car for a guy about to turn 40, but given most of the cars I'd had before this one is comparably very responsible Wisdom has finally taught me that expensive + fast does not equal happy + fun. people here really are defensive/protective of their gas cap leashes eh? |

I'll put up some pictures after I give it the new car clay bar / paint sealant treatment this weekend. For now, imagine a stock asphalt 86, then reduce the height by 1 inch. I'm going to try to avoid modifying it as best I can, but it's clear after driving it a few hundred miles that this car was designed to be a platform for doing so. The main draw to me for this car was fun/dollar with fun/reliability secondary. I think simply better tires would have the biggest results in terms of additional fun/dollar. It is pretty tempting though to replace the wheels and some basic stereo stuff. If so, I'd want to keep the appearance as stock as possible. Wheels, I like the 17" forged TRD wheels or maybe BBS if I could find a good set at a reasonable price. Carbon car systems in australia sells a flush mounting/full screen kenwood stereo that's plug and play and adds android auto and phone screen mirroring, but is about $1k once wiring harness and shipping is done. Wouldn't help the sound any though since it would still go through the stock amp, so hard to justify spending $1k on just android auto and a pretty screen. I did check with a local stereo shop and they quoted about $650 to replace speakers and amp with some basic focals. If there was a factory optioned premium stereo for $1,650 I probably would have opted for it. We will see how well I can hold out and not buy these things. |

So you don't like the gas cap leash cuz it just allows the gas cap to just dangle and flop against the fender... but on the fuel door there is a gas cap holder to hold the gas cap..... but you don't like it so you refuse to use it and let the cap flop and dangle against the fender... so your solution is to cut off the gas cap leash and hold the gas cap in your hand (or however you want to hold it...or you might even put it in the gas cap holder sans leash), and you are telling this owner to follow your lead on a mod that creates a new problem to a problem that doesn't exist? I do not get it..... |
