The new JET86 pre-turbo

Hi guys, So after a bit of bad luck with my turbo donor car (write off) i have received the 86 that will the one to finish off the rest of the turbo kit.
The pics im posting are the car a day after i picked it up, as you can see ive already thrown on a few goodies.
Let me know what you guys think.
Cheers
Kal







Btw the front is riding another 15mm lower since these pics were taken, i threw the coilovers in 20 minutes after i picked the car up and just wanted to drive it haha, no time for fine tuning :P

Looks good man! Personally, I'm not a fan of the 86 badge on the rear. Feel like it's too small to be there. But each to their own.

Yes those are helogen DRL for our market. They are not fog lights on our GT spec, only on our GTS spec (which has HID and LED DRL like JDM headlights).

Correct. For Australian markets, the base 86 model, those lights are the DRLs. This as confuse a lot of people.

Correct, running 245/35/18s all round and they fit perfect. Coilovers are BC RAs.

BCs are probably my favourite coilover. I had the budget to buy teins and I still got BC. I also run BCs on my RB2634 s13 drift car and my mx5. Have never had a problem with them. ATM their set at number 15 (medium). It is a little bit stiffer than stock but not by much. On their softest setting their softer than stock lol.
