AJ's Turbocharged GT86 Build

Hello everybody,
This is my 1st post on this forum, but I have been lurking around and reading for quite a while

I go by AJ, and I recently acquired a 2013 GT86
The car belonged to a friend who had done quite a bit to it already, I just imported it today, and I am looking to document what I do to/with the car

I am new to the platform, but I am not new to cars
So I would like to learn as much as possible from members with more knowledge and experience

This is my baby, for now


Why did I buy the car?
  • Well, I decided that I wanted a toy that I can track regularly, and with relative low running/service costs
  • I want to do more DIY jobs, experiment with the car if you will
  • I want to get into drifting and see how I like that
  • All in all, just wanted a track/drift toy that I can enjoy
  • I had a "thing" for the BRZ/FRS/86's since they came out, I just wouldn't be happy if I never owned one
  • My other fun car is built aggressively, I wanted something simpler to enjoy!
Goals?
  • Improve cooling systems so I can enjoy the car as much as physically possible
  • Keep the build neat
  • Will add to this once I figure out more
Car History

I've owned and built (well, had built mostly) a few good cars, but they were mostly regular use/street cars. Never had a dedicated track or drift car in the past, and that is why I've always had a thing for S2k's, GT86's and such

The cars I've owned in the past are
  • 2005 Toyota Avalon Limited | SOLD
  • 2006 Toyota Yaris YR | SOLD
  • 2008 Honda Civic Mugen Si (Supercharged) | SOLD
  • 2008 Subaru STi (Basic Mods) | SOLD
  • 2010 Subaru STi (More Than Basic Mods ) | SOLD
  • 2000 Honda Civic EX | SOLD
  • 2013 Nissan GT-R (Alpha 12) | Current
  • 2012 Hyundai Elantra GLS | SOLD
  • 2014 Audi A6 | Current
  • 2011 Mercedes C63 AMG | SOLD
  • 2012 VW Golf GTI | SOLD
  • 2016 Mazda 6 | Current
  • 2013 BMW M5 | SOLD
  • 2013 Toyota GT86 | Current

I will keep posting more and updating this thread hopefully as I go
