Post ejboyy's GT86 Build Thread. From Form, to Function.

Hello everyone! First time posting on here, and I figure I'd create a build thread of my car. *Update* {4SEP2021}: I've added the date to each photo. Nearly all of the photos are in chronological order.... Thank you for viewing!

CURRENT LOOK AS OF 4SEP2021
D065D1E7-DDC1-4CF0-A057-76744187F09A by Efren Guitang, on Flickr

To start off, I have a 2017 Toyota GT86 that I picked up back in September 21, 2016. Traded in my 2016 Honda Fit for it, and by far it's been a blast owning it since then.

(October 23, 2016)
At the time, I was working at my local supermarket, so I wasn't able to really mod it since I only made enough money to just pay the monthly car payment and some other bills. Couple months later I started working for the Shipyard, and that's when I really started splurging on this car.

I was influenced by the stance scene at the time and wanted to try it out. My buddy Jessie with his WRB BRZ really sparked interest so the first phase of this car was a trial run of the stance.

(July 21, 2017)
First things first, I bought coilovers. Went with RS-R Black I coilovers, and by far the best coilovers i've ever rode on. 7k/6k spring rates.

Always looks great the first time you see your car lowered on stock wheels, well IMO.

IMG_2233 2 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(August 1, 2017)
Replaced the stock engine braces with the Carbing Aluminum Engine Braces.

IMG_2637 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(November 9, 2017)
After a 3 month wait my custom set of Weds Leon Hardiritt Superstar Progress Line finally wheels came in. Wheel specs were 18x9.5 +25 Square Set.
IMG_2651 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(November 11, 2017)
Snapped a pic a few days later after I got around to mounting tires onto it and throwing them on my car. A square set of 215/40 Toyo Proxes T1 Sport which served no functional purpose for the short time I ran them sadly...

IMG_3081 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(December 23, 2017)
Entered my first show with this car with Jessie which was Hot Import Nights Hawaii 2017. At the time, the new things that I added to this car was:


-Carbing Aluminum Front Strut Tower Bar
-GReddy Carbon Hood Dampers
-APR Front Carbon Fiber Cooling Plate
-HKS Racing Suction Reloaded Intake
-JDM OEM Clear Sidemarkers
-JDM OEM Side Window Visors
-MXP Comp RS Exhaust

Wasn't really pushing for any functional mods yet. I was more interested in tucking my wheels and looking cool at the time.

(January 7, 2018)
A photographer friend of mines did a small photoshoot of my car. T'was a good day to remember because it was my first ever photoshoot.

IMG_3367 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
IMG_3366 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(February 3, 2018)
In 2018, I entered WekFest Hawaii 2018 (Shown Above) with the same exact look exterior-wise. Some things were added at the time.

-Swapped out the RS-R coils for a set of BC Max Low Coilovers with slotted lower mounting holes for extra camber
-SPC Front Camber Bolts
-Voodoo13 Rear Lower Control Arms
-HKS Oil Cap
-JDM OEM Black Interior Trim Pieces, including Black JDM OEM Shift Knob
-JDM TRD Frameless Rear View Mirror

IMG_3550 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
IMG_3554 2 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(March 9, 2018)
I was enjoying the stance look for a bit, but started slowly focusing on adding more performance mods. Around the time these photos above were taken I added:

-Tomei UEL Headers
-Tomei 60mm Catless Front Pipe
-Lexon JDM Clear Taillights
-NIA Headlight Eyelids (Discontinued)
-TRD Painted Fender Garnishes
-InFocus Retro Style Shift Boot
-Pair of 25mm spacers upfront, pair of 5mm spacers in the rear

Didn't snap any flicks of my alignment papers, but I achieved almost -9 degrees of camber in the front, and -5 degrees of camber in the rear.

(July 2, 2018)
Added a Legsport Duckbill wing to my car. Had it wrapped instead of having it paint-matched because I wasn't too sure on keeping it, so I saved a bit of money. Also went back to the Stock Kouki Tails for the time being.

IMG_4169 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(August 18, 2018)
Sold the Weds wheels, and swapped the BC coils out with the RS-R coils I kept on the side. Around this time I was sick of the stance and camber. The car wasn't practical at all, and I had camber wear on all 4 tires while I was running my Weds wheels. Sold the BC's afterwards as well.

IMG_4275 2 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
IMG_4276 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(September 18, 2018)
Finally, after 3 months of waiting my Chargespeed Carbon Fiber Bottom Line V1 kit came in, courtesy of Thomson Ho from System Motorsports. Sold the Legsport Duckbill wing around this time.

IMG_4816 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(September 19, 2018)
Wheels also finally came in around the same time as my lip kit. Went with Rays Volk TE37SL's in Mag Blue. 18x9.5 +40 Square Set.

IMG_4286 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(September 19, 2018)
Pic of the TE's wrapped with 255/35 Nexen N'Fera SU1's on my car. Yep, could've went with a better brand tire but that's what my local tire shop had at the time in that specific size.

IMG_4429 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
IMG_4352 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(September 28, 2018)
Made it just in time for SpoCom Hawaii 2018. Entered last minute under someone else since they weren't able to take off for the event. At this time, I added:

-TRD Radiator Cap

IMG_4596 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
IMG_4594 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(November 17, 2018)
Did a video shoot of me and my buddy John's car. Here's some screenshots of the video. Video should be playable below [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDjjIhrZbHQ[/ame]



IMG_4555 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
IMG_4557 2 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(December 22, 2018)
I figured I end the 2018 show season attending Hot Import Nights with John and my other buddy Allen with his WRX. Added new parts to the car:

-SPL Front Tie Rod Ends
-BuddyClub Front Lower Control Arms w/Whiteline Ball Joints
-PBM Rear Toe/Trailing Arms
-Magna IS-F Style Gauge Cluster Face
-Works Bell w/Works Rapfix GTC Hub
-Renown Club Motorsport Dark 330mm Steering Wheel
-Mazterpiece Titanium Steering Wheel Bolts
-MXP Titanium Exhaust Tips

Entered WekFest 2019. Only thing that changed was my shift knob/reverse lockout. Changed it with the WC Lathewerks Titanium Tear Drop Shift Knob/Titanium Reverse Lockout

(February 10, 2019)
Shortly after WekFest, my Recaro Le Mans seat that I ordered through Croooober got delivered to my house along with the matching seat rails. Installed that ASAP and had to snap a pic

IMG_4760 by Efren Guitang, on Flickr
(February 15, 2019)
This is how it currently looks as of today. Im happy I ditched the stance look and went with a much more functional setup. This is my daily commuter, so I had to make those changes so that I wouldn't run into any issues down the line. Less is More, simple as that

I do have another Recaro Le Mans seat coming in soon to replace my stock passenger seat. As far as future plans I have in store for this car, I am looking to supercharge it but I am not in any rush. I enjoy the car every day I drive it.

Love the new set up. Looks show car worthy and track worthy at the same time. Now that you've converted to function over form, time to hit the track and autocross course lol

Sadly, we don't have a track here on Hawai'i. We used to, but it closed down over a decade ago. We are currently in the works to open up a new one though. We do have SCCA on Sundays, however my schedule's pretty tight on the weekends due to work But thank you for those kind words!!!

Didn't think I'd go crazy with carbon fiber and titanium but I've tried to keep it as clean as possible without going overboard. Very happy with how far I've gotten with this car since March! Will update thread later in the near future as i'm currently waiting on a few more much bigger items. The car will probably stay the same for a while after those items come in as I focus on other important things in life. Enjoy!

Nice looking machine! You wouldn't happen to have weighted the Carbing Aluminum Tower Braces? I really want the titanium ones but don't think I can fork over $550 for them. Thanks

Thank you sir for the kind words! Apologize for the late reply, but, no I haven't weighed the aluminum strut bar but i'm going to take a wild guess an say they weigh roughly 2 pounds?

-As of today, the car is semi gutted down to just the drivers seat/carpet. A lot has changed inside/out since the last update and I can't express how much I am in love with how it sits and feels currently. Really did away with the carbon fiber as I felt it was starting to make my car look tacky, however, I am still on that titanium craze and hope to one day swap all the stock hardware out of my car with titanium. Will post updated photos of the car with the TRD kit on and hopefully I remember lol... Future plans will most likely be buying a new set of wider tires (265/35/18), maybe new wheels. A little over 4 years ownership and again, loving the car very much. It's here to stay!
