HachiRolle's 2017 Toyota 86 - Raven M/T
 

It has been tradition of me to start a build thread for each car I've owned, so here it goes with my current build!
To give a little backstory, my previous car was a 2012 Honda Fit, Sprintex supercharged:

After 5 years of ownership and getting tired of the automatic, the timing lined up to part out the car and move on to something I always had my eye on. The plan was to get into a used FRS, but after test driving a 2017 86, I felt that the refinements made to the car were hard to pass up. After tracking the car down 80 miles away from me and settling on a good deal with the dealership, I took home Stella on January 20, 2017:

I was originally going to buy the car in Halo, but I had purchased the TE's before I bought the car and decided that they would look better on Raven :iono:

The first official mod to the car was swapping all the bulbs to LEDs, followed by the AVEST V1 Sidemarkers in the smoked finish (which I'm currently thinking of switching out to the OEM JDM clears):

Next up I picked up an Invidia resonated front pipe along with the N1 catback with the burnt tips. I was going to go in a different direction with the exhaust, but I picked it up used for a price I couldn't pass up:

I also picked up a FiveAxis rear spoiler at the same time and had it paint matched:

Next stop was picking up the suspension components. Having many S chassis friends, I decided to go with PoweredByMax (PBM) competition coilovers, lower control arms, and toe arms to properly set the alignment. Based on price, quality, ride comfort, and rebuild options, seemed to be the best option for me:

Before installing the suspension, I picked up a pair of authentic TRD aero fins. Color matched since I have mixed feelings about carbon on black:

Less than two months into ownership, I had the car sitting about where I wanted it to sit. Suspension was installed, fenders rolled, and Volk TE37RT's installed, wrapped in Federal 595 RS-RR tires (more details on alignment specs can be found in the Meaty Tire Thread):

About a month later, in went the Bride Vios 3 in black gradient, accompanied by a Bride Type-FO seat rail:

Most recent mod was the Cusco drift button:

That's all for now. I'm looking to do a couple small things here and there once I get rid of the last parts remaining from my Fit. The 86 has been nothing but smiles since day 1 :burnrubber:

Wow, an other great kouki 86 ! Good job !

looks good! im located in LA as well...I also had a GE8 fit, white, 5spd manual, sport. Loved that car.

I remember your car from the fit forums. I still have my GE as a daily.

86 Lookin good!

Love what you did with the fit! Subbed for updates on the 86. looking good so far!

Woah! Crazy seeing you around here haha. I was always a huge fan of the finish on those professors. I wish I could've held on to the Fit, but couldn't afford to do so haha.

Holy smokes, that Fit looks so good. The 86 is nice too, I guess :bonk:

My Fit has been relegated to DD and track support vehicle (carries tools, tires, fuel nicely) duties. Once I got my FRS everything stopped for the Fit.

Excited to see what you do with your 86 as you have excellent taste in parts!

Rolle? Andrew? tCtCtC?

Thanks, haha. I have a few ideas for the 86, we'll see how it all goes.

Thanks! The Fit would've been a great track supporter, but after I did the supercharger I was averaging about 22 MPG so it wasn't great on trips.

LOL yes indeed. Sup Robert!:thumbup:

Damn! Black looks frickin' sexy af! Took a peek at a 17' at my local dealership and I actually love the face-lift! Looks sooooo much better in person! Can't wait to see what's next!

We just need Sergio, Ben, and Pete and it'll be like old times.

"Post your high end wheels" hahaha

Thanks haha, I have something lined up for next mod.

Is there anyone else from the SL days that have transferred over? I don't keep in contact with anyone from back then besides Eamon every now and then.
