I am having my Borla UEL headers installed on Monday so will let you know my thoughts on them soon

Kudos for you getting an 86 dude and all the power to you........Im not a fan of the mods but thats why we all are different

Looking good! I like the blue lights, i will probably do the same just make it duller.

Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing.

That's one big ass woofer.. Guess you don't want any bootspace, hehe.
Got the same footwell lighting in my corolla :)

I was going to buy a white demo 86 from this place in ryde which turned out to be dodgy (they were doing skids and redlining it at 600km!)

After I left that place I went crazy, calling Toyota dealers from one end of Sydney to the complete other side!
I asked all dealers to look in there 'books' to tell me what they have coming in (a little trick my dad taught me) and the closet 86's to come were a red AT gts, a metal grey gts MT, a blue MT gts. (I wish I had white) but I was to overwhelmed and committed to the blue (which my girlfriend chose!) which they said would come end of feb (1 month wait!!!)

My car got to me on the 21st feb 2013 with 12km on it!

My first mods were simple; TRD sound changer and blue interior neons!

I left it a little late to start my build diary but with that being said; all the mods I did my self (except 2) so I have D.I.Y.'s for all them

Currently I have 9160km on the odom.

------------CURRENT MOD LIST------------
In order of date;
• TRD sound changer
• Blue L.E.D footwell lights
• 20% window tint (lifetime warranty)
• full sound system (all top of the line) 2 tweeters, 2 6" subs in doors, 2 4 inch sound stream speakers in back and a 12" sub in boot (DB drive audio)
• sunk sub into spare tyre space!
• Trunk neons
• Injen SES (cancelled TRD sound changer, due to the different exhaust/engine notes)
• number plate, reverse and interior dome lights; replaced with white lights
• debagged 'TOYOTA' emblem
• Injen CAI (got a free injen hat with my order!!)

----------------FUTURE MODS---------------
Please assist me with future mods because I'm still deciding on some
In no order

• MRT performance ecutek stage 2 and e85 fuel tune. Inc. dyno time, 'racerom' features and a custom tune for my car mods

Aldo if you want a DIY on anything I have done ask I'll be happy to let you know !!!

That "dodgy" white demo 86 gts got sold a couple of months back for 37200 driveaway. A girl who lives near me purchased that demo car from ryde dealer. It had 1100kms when she bought it. Pretty sweet deal!

When I test drove it before then he kept asking me if I wanted to give it a little cause I could! I drove it at 600km and he said he had 13 test drives before me so I walked away because it has been pushed to hard too early! But it's all good, I got mine at 12km for 36990 drive away!!!

Do you get the optional rear fog light?

Wow! Thats a very sweet deal! Never ever seen a brand new non-demo 86 sold for that low! Im curious why would they sell it for that much less than RRP when they can sell it for RRP to the next person?

I got mine for 38440 driveaway, including 6 years premium warranty, rear sensors, reverse camera, 35% tinted windows (which i removed to get 15% tint). My dad knows the dealer from Terry Shields, so he gave me a personal discount ;)
