Also I don't know what size rims I would have to get for those 225s. For 245s I already know it should be like yours which is 18x8.75. Ughh Just a lot to think about but hopefully I can make up my mind soon haha

If you should decide to go with 225 tires you proably should get 8" wheels, otherwise, like Daemon said, it will look hellaflushish.

At the end, its just about your personal taste and $$ you'd like to spend

Not that much changed in the last days, since I'm pretty happy with the current setup and was just enjoying the car.

However, the car was quiet Tailhappy, so I decided to get me some more downforce in the rear.

So, here it is, my newest mod. Its called the "Pro Racer X-Treme Wing enhancer" and is made by a company called "IKEA Racing Technologies".
Fittment was a bit tight but was well worth it. Downforce is now awesome, and as a added bonus, everyone on the street turns their head and nod, like saying "yeah bro, thats real racing spirit man" ;-)

On downside however, its not weather prove. So you can only use it in nice weather conditions

And this is proof, that you can get EVERYTHING at IKEA!

Just dropping some pictures, as weather is bad over here and I currently cant use Wingo outside.

Pictures where made by a friend who visited Switzerland in the Summer. Love the magic he works with his camera

This car reminds me so much of a Supra....

G'day Killerbee,
Great looking ride, love it! I was lucky to stumble onto this as I was looking for XXR527s used on a white 86, because they are the wheels I have waiting for my 86 to be delivered. Then I discover that you have done almost the exact same upgrades as I have planned for mine, right down to the matt black T badges. I am going with the same black on white accent, but I am using purple as an offset colour. I will be sure to post pics in March when mine is delivered, as I have all the parts sitting here waiting for my white 86 GTS manual with Aero kit to be delivered.

Thanks again, keep up the pics

Jimmy

Thanks. cant wait to see the purple, really wondering how you will use that color on the car. btw, isnt march on your side of the world like fall? So you have to wait your whole summer for the car? :-(

Unfortunately you're right, it's summer now. But I'm currently away with the Military and have a few more exercises coming up, that's why the March delivery date But when I get home and the car arrives, bolt on all my bits, I'll take a few weeks off and drive!!!

Thank you. And I agree, the taillights really just make it perfect. I was happy before, however I just realized after installing the Valentis how much that stock red/chrome stuff did not fit in :-)

Havent used Wingo for almost 2 Months now since Winter has arrived and its shitty weather with snow and ice outside (non stop) :-( Still hope January gets a bit better and I can use Wingo again.

And the Wing is about 1200$ here alone, just mad pricing from toyota

[w.k.s.]

I'm so jealous of that wing!

[Killerbee]

Not much going on lately, still freezing cold outside, so havent moved wingo for 2 months now :-(
I really feel how I miss driving around with him, since I almost go full retard on TRD Parts the other day (you know, stuff you dont need like a 100$ Oil cap) just to do "something" with the car. However, I was able to hold me back and did not order anything ;-)

On the positiv side, my wingo shrine has been completed over christmas, as my girlfriend found me a white GT86 from Autoart. I had/have a red one, but could not find any white one (at least one that was not priced 150$ over retail), but I got one from my girlfriend on christmas.

And since I have no other news/pictures to share right now, I post one from the Wingo shrine :-)

Happy new year to everyone
