@Ryan86 Yes for Durban South Toyota. I see lots of dealers focussing on the off road 4x4 scene, but no one really has picked up officially with the 86/customizing culture.

In fact we met with a high level official representative from TSA last week, discussing the lack of firepower and excitement in the Toyota range. He basically said they are aware of it, and trying to push for sportier models but in the interim, nothing stops us from doing what we can, to inject some of our own ideas into the cars. I even showed him photos from this forum of an 86 Showroom in Tokyo, that once featured.

Anyway, I want to set up a similar setup at our place, maybe with a fully customized car, that we could eventually sell as well, if offers came.

Thanks again!

With regards to customizing, Have a look at Garagefrs.com, the guys in the states and East no what they are doing,
i for one love customizing my cars, my Tazz and MR2 where featured in various magazines, but when it comes to the 86 there are no local aftermarket exterior mods and TSA only supply the TRD kit witch is hideous in my opinion. They need to get other kits in from 5axis, g-reddy and so forth.

I had a custom fiber glass kit made for my MR2 by bodykits.co.za, not sure if they still in the business.
