I'm looking for the GT-86 black leather, red-center seat covers. I see they were referenced in OP, but I must have missed any link to where they can be purchased?

I already have the knee pads and door panels from the GT-86 on the way. Looking to get the steering wheel, e-brake and shift knob. Also the rear seats center leather cover is nice.

From the base GT-86 there are black parts that I might try my darnedest to paint-match red, like the door handle cover (typically silver), door levers (typically chrome), circular vents (typically silver), and center console trims. The GT-86 Limited seats would be the final interior touch.

Then an FR-S front bumper would be all I needed exterior-wise.

Wow those look really nice. Are there back seat covers too?

I wasn't able to find any matching rear seat covers.

Those red-center seat covers are actually full seats, not covers. They're leather and alcantara, they are the heated seats I referred to. When I was looking for the parts I never did find someone selling those seats.

Someone was selling the steering wheel, e-brake, and shift knob in this forums marketplace section. Not sure if he's still there though.

Would like to see pics when you get the conversion done.


Edit: I see other talk about the rear seats, if you meant those, they're not heated lol I don't think there's a cover for those either.

Man, I was REALLY hoping you weren't going to say they were the full seats. I was being hopeful, though I suspected they were the same as the BRZ Limited seats. For $3k you can get a pair of GT-86 TRD seats:

I can't imagine swapping to GT-86 Limited seats would be that much cheaper.

I've also contemplated have the Alcantara replaced with red Alcantara in my BRZ. Seems cheaper to just un-thread, cut the fabric to size and re-thread. Voila! Red-center Alcantara and dark leather seats! Sounds like an okay idea?

And I'll definitely share pics of my GT-86 parts. They JUST shipped today. I just got the notice from nigel-jdmparts.com. I think red handles (outter) and black handles (inner design) are next. You can order the black parts from your local Toyota dealer.

There was a shop, again on this forum, who speculated the seats would be around 2-2.5k each. I didn't see them ever put the seats up as available to be ordered though. I believe it was nigel who I saw had the other parts you mentioned. Think he mentioned the seats too, I could be wrong though, it was a while ago.

You might get away with the un-thread and replace, although I don't know enough about that process or the materials (alcantara) to know how workable that is. I suppose if you got a good upholster it should be fine. :iono:

Yeah, Nigel's been a lot of help. His site just sells seat covers. http://www.nigel-jdmparts.com/japan-...her-seat-cover

There are some good upholsterers up here, so I'll probably go that route. Now to find some red Alcantara...

oh damn really? interesting i am kinda sad about the knee pads and nder panels me personally dont need dual climate but -40 i can understand plus heated seats o.O i like fabric myself. yes i find this very helpful again thank you for making this! :thanks::thanks::respekt:

call me conservative but imo my time and money is just too precious to exhort too much effort to do any of it. i suppose all of it has been well spent on my AE86 that, when i bought the fr-s, i just want a car thats a done deal. again this is my own opinion about this. the most ill probably do to my fr-s would be to buy the trd kit. otherwise it will stay bone scion stock. good day gentlemen.

:clap:

That's pretty much what we wanted. The Scion is a stripped down version of the Toyota, incomplete, missing parts. We want the complete car, the done deal. Not the incomplete Scion.

These are not aftermarket parts, they are from factory, they are stock. We shouldn't have to be putting any effort into this other than signing the paper and handing over the money. Toyota decided to give us the finger though.

Also, this is a list of the parts for those who wanted to do a conversion, since it wasn't released here. It's not an opinion thread. It's meant to help others find what they need to get the conversion done.

Point well taken, but nevertheless I stand by my opinion. You are more than welcome to move or delete my posts. Cheers.

Thanks Saber, this thread is the most complete I've seen on the subject. I guess maybe I should ask the same question a little differently, If I wanted the JDM GT86 Limited, would it be 'easier' to start from the BRZ Limited as opposed to the FR-S? I suppose easier is a relative term, but I'd imagine a lot of the interior parts on the BRZ match up with the GT86 limited more than the FR-S Does, and would seem to be the more direct approach for this kind of undertaking. Just looking for some thoughts on the matter.

I'll tell you that I got the BRZ Limited because of the following items:

- Push button start
- Seat warmers
- Side mirror warmers
- Puddle lights
- Dual climate control
- Leather/Alcantara
- Red digital color for time and such as opposed to orange on Premium BRZ or FR-S

To me, it seems easier to source an FR-S front bumper and badge, then rear FR-S badging and BAM! Got yourself an FR-S with much nicer-looking BRZ headlights. Ultimately I want my BRZ to resemble a GT-86 just for giggles. I highly doubt I'll ever pay $3k for the GT-86 headlights, though. I don't even like them.

I'm glad it's been informative.

You're right, "easy" is a relative term. I suppose it depends on how much you want to spend and what work you're willing to do and how much of a conversion you want to do.

A lot of the FR-S to 86 conversion parts will be needed for the BRZ, such as the headlights. You might be able to get more for the BRZ headlights if you sell them than you would the FR-S lights. So that's a consideration for things.

The main differences between the FR-S to 86 conversion and a BRZ to 86 conversion would be that a lot of the interior stuff is already there on the BRZ. However, you have bigger exterior stuff. Like the front bumper, either way you'd need fog lights for FR-S or BRZ (86 are a different housing at the very least than the BRZ's). If you're picky about the suspension, as I am, then you'd be looking at swapping out a suspension. I don't know how much of it is different though, to get that understeer Suby wanted. So you could be changing everything to maybe only a couple parts.

I guess it comes down to if you want to do more mechanical or electrical work. The FR-S will have more electrical and the BRZ will have more mechanical, and with that front bumper maybe paint and colour matching or full paint job if you want Hot Lava, since it's a Toyota/Scion only colour.

I haven't seen all the parts necessary for a full blown conversion yet, so I couldn't even guess on price. I was easily over 10k when I was looking at parts to do the conversion and I hadn't seen the dual climate controls, push start, smart entry system, or the leather/alcantara heated seats on the market yet, from 3rd party vendors. I didn't look into a BRZ conversion since the only Suby dealership in my area has been to court over so many fraud cases it's not even funny. So I don't know about the costs or all the unique parts necessary for that conversion.

Very interesting thread!
Makes me appreciate my GT86 Limited even more.

About the stereo, I suggest you look at what's in the cars sold in Europe.
From what I've been able to gather, there's two head units:
Toyota Touch (no sat-nav)
Toyota Touch&Go (with sat-nav)
These are not the same as on other Toyota models (even if the units are called the same), they are unique for the GT86, according to the dealership.
I have a LHD with the Touch&Go, see photo below.
This comes with English as one of the installed languages.
If there's Toyota's with the same system in the US, you should be able to install the US maps on a Touch&Go. If not, a Touch would still give you Radio, CD, Bluetooth handsfree, and stuff.

Also, there's an option available for the GT86 (at least in Europe), a JBL sound system. It replaces all the speakers, and adds an amplifier and a woofer in the trunk. Let me know if anyone's interested in phtos of the JBL system.

Gald you appreciate the thread.

I've actually left out the stereo stuff, for the most part, due to nav units and such being region specific and of course language issues in some cases. Not to mention the shear amount of optional head units. Still, useful information, thanks.

Can anyone help with push to start part numbers? I can find the tray, tray mat, and lock cap (subaru)but I need the Toyota internals...

i got a jdm 86 steering wheel up for sale

Pm me a price please

i see you ;) ^^^

Lololll

With the tailights are the JDM taillights compatible with USDM FRS? And vice versa, are USDM tails compatible with with RHD versions?

They should be. Headlights have a difference in the way they direct light for LHD vs RHD. Taillights don't do anything special though. As for fitting them on the car, there should be no issues.

I think I'm going to give this conversion a shot (non10series) and make some jdm/brz fr-s 86 hybrid.

Great list, will be a fantastic guide.

Glad you like and find it of use. Good luck with your conversion.

Where can I buy a gt86 airbag for my scion fr-s?

Check the Marketplace section of this forum, few stores selling them there.

Huh? I thought the airbags would be exactly the same for all LHD versions of the car?
:iono:
Personally I hope to never, ever see the airbags in my car.

Scion airbags have an ugly Scion logo on them. Toyota airbags have a lovely 86 logo on them. Might want to re-read my original post.

You also see the airbag every time you drive the car, at least it's external cover. You also touch it every time you go for the horn.

Aaah, the cover on the steering wheel? Why didn't you just say so? ;-)
Ugly on the GT86, too. Very bland.

I bought one of these stickers.

10-series to 86 conversion
 

Hi there, I have a 10-series and there's A LOT of stuff the 10-series has that, in my opinion are either the same or better than the Toyota 86.

First off, there's the paint. Until you've actually seen the Silver Ignition paint in several different scenario's, it's hard to understand why it's better. In direct sunlight it's got a Silver Metallic sheen, in overcast conditions its more of a solid grey, at night when light hits the paint it turns bluish, and during the day sometimes it looks periwinkle. So that's the first thing.

Besides that there's the uniqueness and the light up badges (front and rear). I do get a lot of comments on them as they are pretty cool. There's also the frameless mirror (which only comes on the 86 and the 10-series), the headlights (the 10 series has 86 headlights), the trunk mat is different, it comes with the navigation and the HVAC controls of the 86, and the badge on the driver door indicating only 2500 were made.

I know there's more stuff but I don't feel like listing it all. I've actually made up my mind that I'm just going to borrow a few things from the 86 because I don't want to take anything away from the 10-series.

Thus far I've added some red accents to the car (shoulder pads), red drift knob, short shifter, TRD wide black leather, different bushings, etc. I even bought a blue JDM BRZ engine cover. It doesn't match the red theme I've been going for but it was way too cool to pass up. ($65 on eBay + $13 shipping from Japan).

To each their own, but I'm more-the-less just using the 86 as an inspiration, but not too literally. I was considering getting some red/black door sills and possibly getting a TRD red push start button but I'm having trouble rationalizing performing that upgrade.......oh yeah, the alcantara interior parts are pretty tempting too. I might start with just the shift boot and e-brake boot and see how I like it.

Any idea where to get the LHD GT86 Rubber mats?

:thumbup:

The floor mats in my GT86 are not rubber. Where did you see them?

There are also two cosmetic flat plates under the 86/GT86 headlights. What are those called and how can we install them?

These?
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attac...1&d=1360199088

If so, they're headlight washers. Little nozzles pop out and spray the headlights. I'm not sure anyone has tried putting them on a USDM car, but I'm sure it's more complicated than it's worth.

Edit: video.

Those look insanely useless. You're gonna have dirty run marks all over your front end. But if they can be configured to spray sideways...
