Initial Thoughts: I'd been watching this car since the first FT-86 concept was released. On top of that i never thought i would ever buy a brand new car just due to the amount that they drop in value.
Obviously this car is different and after much shopping around and discussion on the 31st of August i picked up RAN94A.
(Big thanks to the guys at Ryde Toyota who were awesome the whole way through the purchase process and in subsequent dealings.)
And a base line pic of how it looks unaltered (wont be staying this way for long.)
Initial Mods: So the first thing i wanted to do was increase the amount of 12V sockets i had as there's a few things that need power (ie phone, GPS etc) and i also wanted to add interior LED's (good idea Toyota just not worth $250).
And finally i wanted a phone cradle so that it was easier to have it hooked in to charge.
With that said it was on to ebay where i picked up the 12V splitter and phone cradle for about $10. Then down to Supercheap where i picked up a LED interior kit for about $20.
The phone cradle fits the blank panel where GTS gets heated seats perfectly. I mounted the 12V splitter down the side of the drivers seat. and ran the wiring for the LED kit all under the centre console.
Next up: Next cab off the rank was lighting. Having come from a car with HID's, i wasnt about to go without in the 86 and as the GT has projectors in them anyway the glare wouldnt be that bad so i wasnt concerned about that.
A quick PM to StreetFX and i had HID's and LED Parkers/Number Plate lights ready to go.
I had a couple of LED strips laying around from the previous car so one of them went into the boot and i pulled off the Red cover for the door lights (on GTS) and found that there wasn't even wiring in there... Hmm... project for later.
