Now it's the weekend and time to hope it doesn't rain so I can take her out for a drive :)


It could be a bit lower, but I need to be able to drive it still lol.

There is more info and a build thread over here for anyone interested: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11073


Hoping to get 1000kms on the clock, so I can run it in, and then BOOST it :D

Looks good

jealous...that'll take me 5 years, if my wife allows lol

Nice, what's the size of the tires ??

Love everything but the mirror tint!

Promo car, has to stand out :)

so sexy. i love white/gold. how's the ride on those coilovers?

We in the USA envy your extra options that we don't get here in the USA. :D

Whats the offset on those rims? Any rubbing issues in the back? You're a baller shot caller mang.

Very nice car and pics. Love the wheels with the color of the car.

No rubbing anywhere!! I was completely amazed!!

Even my M5 had issues when I was hunting for rims.. The porsche scrubs like a bitch, and neither of those are running 9.5in on the front!!!!!!!!

do the clear side markers only turn on when you use your blinkers?

on the usdm model, the side markers only turn on when you have your headlights on. they do not function as turn signal lights.

Oh you got the BC coilovers! I'm waitin' on my set right now... How it ride ?

congratulations!!! a bit jealous : D i wish mine didnt take so long to arrive : P . You say 1000 km they say 1000 miles here , lol im starting to think the whole breaking in procedure is bullshit

I have only had a very brief drive, but they seem fine.. A little rougher than stock, but I wont know until I get to take a drive when it's not raining.

Awesome post! Thanks! I'll have to check out those led mods you wrote up. Something i think i will want to do right off the bat.

Oh, and awesome sticker by the way. haha

You sir, have a nice car collection. The 86 is looking mighty fine with those gold rims :w00t:

Those are some nice pictures. I like the idea of the last picture.

Right on !!!

Enjoy and Thanks for sharing - FAST WORK !!!

I need to jump across the pond and work wherever you're employed!

bc coilovers already... that was quick!

oh post side pics of the car please

I think your plans lacks ambition personally. ;P

I want that sticker!!!! :drool:

I fucking LOVE that sticker! Man your car looks so good! If I could reverse my sig to a thumbs up I would man!! Goddamn!

How does one get that sticker?

What kind of rims are those? More pics please!!

Very nice! Thanks for sharing the info and the pics!

WTF!

A WTF! post, thanked by WTF.... Welcome to the internet, it is PRICELESS

Why wait until its not raining?.. I wait until it is raining!!! Lol..

Congrats, Looks good too. All it needs is a spoiler! :)

Can you confirm wheel specs?

To me it looks like Rota t2r in 18x9.5 +38 offset, but maybe it is +20?

Either way, great sign that they fit the front so well, you've helped me pick wheel sizes.

^^ That should help.

did you max out your coils?

looking good!

looking good. i like it so far. So, Whats next?

Seriously, that sticker!!! DO WANT :respekt:

Great looking car. Wish that kind of reflective window tint wasn't illegal here.

1. Produce sticker in vast quantities.

2. Make huge sums of money selling stickers to all GT86/FRS/BRZ owners.

3. Retire to private tropical island bought with proceeds from sticker sales.

The end.
