I'm still looking for the GT86 or JDM 86 repair manuals and wiring diagrams. Anyone find them yet?

Anyone know of the best DIY methods of removing small door dings (from other people being careless when they open their door into your car...). I have a handful I'd like to get rid of...

Dent/ding removal is something Id rather let the professionals take care of. If you're looking for someone to do a quality job, my friend does PDR in Houston. PM me for his number if you're interested.

+Stainless Steel line install

Thirded!! Can someone PLEASE put up a DIY for rotor replacement at least? I think upgraded rotors will be the most cost effective brake upgrade over stock(not to mention pads and fluid)

Stainless steel line and speed bleeder DIY on the way

Hahaha I found one.

I think rotor/pad replacement for these cars should be pretty straight forward though. Gonna give it a shot tomorrow. I just need the torque specs.
