ZX88's 2017 Kouki 86 -- TRD x Modellista X Work X BC Racing
Calling this project round 2.
https://i.imgur.com/sEN3OnH.jpg https://i.imgur.com/P8zBDyr.jpg So for the last 3 years I have owned a 2013 frs. About a month ago its life was cut short thanks to being hit at a stop light on my way to work one day. The guy hit the rear so bad that the car ended up having frame damage was was eventually totaled by my insurance. Old Project Specs (Zenki 86) Drivetrain:
Interior
Exterior
Footwerk
It was pretty. https://i.imgur.com/kuZc0s6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/VpFQpXG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9BYkxJQ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/W4do69Z.png RIP: https://i.imgur.com/Ib0N0KF.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/UQl0nrR.jpg?1 Luckily I was able to salvage most of my cool parts and for the most part the TRD items were not too damage. I ended up parting out most of the TRD kit and planned on reusing a couple of items on the new car. Mainly the Wing, Fender Wings, Coilovers and wheels. |
New Beginings
It only took me a couple of weeks to find a replacement.
2017 Toyota 86 in Halo - 6psd Paid close to MSRP for the base model and ended up getting some extra goodies. -LED Foglights -Optional Wing -Borla Exhaust -Trunk Mat https://i.imgur.com/aL3fYjy.jpg https://i.imgur.com/DmpdH5w.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kZBYEhB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9ivbtdc.jpg First impressions Car felt great not any faster just more refined. All the stuff reviewers are saying about the improved ride quality and gearing is true. Overall its really nice to drive in stock form. I even think the Shifter linkage is more smooth, a noticeable difference from my '13 even when it only had 29k on the odometer. Slight Differences from the 1st gen model: Originally I planned on re-using my modellista skirts. However, the rear bumper on the new cars is slightly different. Its actually a bit shorter and curves in more at the body line. So for those that are looking to adapt 1st gen rear spats. Well, bad news they wont fit. https://i.imgur.com/nyQ55DG.jpg?1 A week after I bought the car I sold my old TRD kit to friend and immediately ordered the new kit from 86worx. It was a bit more expensive than the dealership mostly due to shipping but I didnt want to wait 10+ weeks for the kit to arrive from the dealer. 86Worx was able to get the kit to me in about 3 weeks. So if you guys are interested in some cool overseas parts they are pretty good (also ordered my old seat covers from them). Installing the kit is pretty straight forward. The side skirts install the same as the 1st gen versions using many of the same clips. The front bumper was also pretty straight forward but requires you to drill some mounting holds in the bottom of the bumper. Side Skirts https://i.imgur.com/kjF9aLt.jpg Bottom Mounting Brackets https://i.imgur.com/N28jLSm.jpg Clips https://i.imgur.com/PGbrnYd.jpg Mounted https://i.imgur.com/tmTmsAf.jpg Front Bumper Basically you need to drill 4 small holes into the bottom of the front bumper and slip some screw fasteners into the holes. The kit comes with some pretty idiot proof templates. So 4 bottom screws and then 4 on each side at the fender well. https://i.imgur.com/EMS7nwt.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BoiO5ht.jpg Its a snug fit but goes on pretty easy https://i.imgur.com/MRP7JWa.jpg OEM fitment is alway king https://i.imgur.com/z2BqvBE.jpg Modellista Rear Spats These install also pretty much the same as the 1st gen. You are required to drill 2 mounting holes on each side of the rear bumper (another rear bumper different you might not expect). The kit comes with templates so just use those, mock them up and drill the holes. https://i.imgur.com/4hIwXvM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/47NSZmz.jpg The finished result https://i.imgur.com/6WbLvIJ.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/Lkg4tLm.jpg https://i.imgur.com/r2jaxM8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/D75ootO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jPR0BFe.jpg https://i.imgur.com/POZdkHW.jpg NEXT UP coilovers and Wheels. |

Wow I hope to see this around Austin some time!
|
Damn that new TRD set up is nice, cant wait to see this with wheels and suspension! Your Zenki was dope as well. I'm from Houston and will actually be out in Austin this weekend.
|
I have the same color 86 has well. Do the parts come prepainted? I was thinking of just the TRD front spliter. What was the $?
Thanks, Ron |
Nice! I was also thinking of doing TRD kit but didn't want to do the rear end to avoid having to go quad exhaust.. This looks good!
|
The wrecked 'old' TRD hurts my eyes, want to cry them out.. At least the kouki TRD is a good replacement to soften the pain, really really like round 2 so far :)
|
Damn looks really nice. That's as far as body mods I would do on this car. A nice set of wheels and a drop will look amazing
|
Coilovers and Wheels
Today I installed the BC racing Coilovers and Work Emotion XD9 wheels from my old car. The drop and wheels instantly transformed this car.
Parts Update: Project Kics 5x100 to 5x114.3 10mm conversion spacers Work XD9 17x9.5 +28 and a 225/45/17 tire. Work Lug Nuts BC Racing BR Coilovers Went out and took advantage of the Texas afternoon for a small photo shoot. https://i.imgur.com/P8zBDyr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tZldSiR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/5NS18TN.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xRvbPXG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/sG6vJ9Q.jpg |
Damn, I don't really post on forums often but im lovin the new TRD kit for the 2017 86's. Kind of makes me regret getting the '17 BRZ. Good work bro

Then you probably want to stay off the forums as most on here hate the new 86 look. Although in person in real life away from a computer it looks amazing and even better with the OP's TRD kit. |

This makes me want to convert my pre facelift trd to Kouki.. Looks really really good, great job.
|
I am in love with how your 86 has come together. Keeping my eye on this one.
|
would love to see it in person. Are you on FB? We have a local group -- Austin 86 Club
|
Curses! I didn't want to go TRD again with the new one, but you make it look sooooo good.

For some reason, those new wheels looks like 16s lol, an optical illusion because of the full kit and also the lip of the wheels perhaps.
Ride looks great though. |

I've been eyeing the front TRD lip for my car but seeing it done makes me want it so bad
|
How much of a drop do you have from stock? Also, why didn't you get the LED lights for the front TRD lip? Your car looks really good.

Nice shot man. I’m still going back and forth on doing a similar setup. I actually think it looks better without the LEDs on the front lip. |
Would love to see more from this thread! Love your TRD 86. And you take some really nice shots too!
|
Just got the front lip as well. Have any tips or pictures of your installation?

Can you please measure the distance between the Modellista rear spats edge and the end of the bumper? I have the TRD fender extensions and I'm not sure they fit.
BTW, I have the standard version, not the short version for TRD kouki rear bumper... Thank you very much! |
Hope to see your car around town looks so sick!

Back from the dead. Had these Blitz 03 hanging out in my garage for 2years and threw them on the 86. For 20 year old wheels these look good on 86's imo

Those wheels are sick as hell.
|
Such a good looking car. Love both wheel combos, most 86s on XD9's don't look this good. That being said, the Blitz 03's are nuts!
