Ah but the trick there is it would have to be an actual Scion/Toyota/Subaru/TRD part!

What's local, and what size are they? I've been looking at these wheels myself.

Local is mid-atlantic region, sorry!

Also not trying to derail this into a FS thread, so before anyone else asks about the wheels, they're not currently for sale I'll start a FS thread in the local region when that happens.

This one http://www.nigel-jdmparts.com/toyota-86-front-arm-rest

Looks like just a cover but is nicely padded and tilts up to use bottle holder (I don't use cups in my car) or I use the one in the door.

To me it finishes off the interior as it should have been. As mentioned, tried four others and to me this one is perfect. Needs to be drilled etc but is a genuine OEM part after Toyota adopted the design of one of the FT86club members so I got my dealer to install for me. And, it comes in LHD and RHD versions.

One of my very favourite mods.

Sooo, would be Virginia perhaps? North Carolina maybe?



J/K I do like TSW the more I look into wheels. Considering their new Bathurst model. The Chicanes also look great but they are not rotary forged.

Agreed. I was really close to trading my stock tire & wheel combo for an aftermarket one a couple of weeks ago. Then I got scared that I would throw off its "stock balance goodness" that the ToyoBaru engineers worked hard at.

Haha funny

In all seriousness, I'd stick with TSW's rotary forged wheels (which are really just flow form cast). I've tracked with them many times and they seem to hold up quite well.

But their non-RF wheels gained a reputation for being heavy and soft, which is not what you want in a wheel.

This oil catch can...not only does it not come with everything to install it, but its only a can. No baffles, no foam, just a pepsi can with hose fittings.
