ET's 2017 Toyota 86
:::Current State of the Build:::
2017 Toyota 86 Just passed the 1000 mile engine break in period and now I guess it's time to start a build thread. I really haven't done much yet except just drive her and get used to her. I think I settled on a name.... "Mamiko マミコ" named after my favorite bartender in Japan Mods:
I know it's bit of a slow start but I have just been enjoying it stock for a bit before I get my grubby paws on it. YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFg...PLQwnHw/videos Stay Tuned... Last edited by ett808; 01-10-2019 at 09:07 PM. |

2017 OEM Mud Flaps Installed
Installed OEM 2017 Mud Flaps on the 86. FYI: Didn't have the 2 pre-drilled holes on the back like the BRZ's do.

Tein Flex Z - First Look
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE-wnUZPzA8&ab_channel=ET86"]Tein Flex Z for GT86 BRZ FRS - First Look [4K] - YouTube[/ame]
Just some footage of the Tein Flex Z's before the install. (I figured since my camera did 4K I'd shoot it in 4K...lol). I will be doing a "real world" review of the Tein's with coilovers only, with upgraded swaybars, and then with upgraded wheels and tires. Stay tuned! |

Call Me a Slacker...
Okay so I finally got my coilovers installed...
Here is one image of the before/after. Wheels are next on the list of the worlds slowest build. ET |

Video Review
So far so good! For the price I think they are a good buy for street and a bit of autocross and track time. It is a bit early though for a full review, just kinda my first impressions.
Current Settings: Front: 4 from hardest setting Rear: 4 from hardest setting I tried 6/6 which was comfy but too soft for my liking on Texas high speed side roads with those prius tires ;-) I am ordering wheels and tires soon so I'll feel a bit more comfortable with wider stickier tires on the car. Then I can mess with the settings again. |

Hmm..6/6 is pretty close to stock and totally doable in most situations. Once I get my new wheels and tires, I'll probably start back with 6/6 and then decide from there. I kinda want to try full soft too just for that Lexus ride lol.

I don't drive the car much but I did a 2-3 hour drive and a bunch of Sunday drives on my favorite winding roads. If I drove daily...I might just rock the 6/6 setting, but since I work from home and rarely drive it during the week...I have it a bit stiffer.
