Varis 2JZ Build - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I've been in Japan since the middle of January but now that I'm back, it's time to focus on the car once more. While in Japan, I had the chance to pick up a variety of parts with my goal being the TRD dry carbon fender vent. Unfortunately, it seems it was out of stock so I guess I'll need to order that online.

First off, Snap On keychain from Tokyo Autosalon. I've been eyeing a suitable keychain for a while and I feel this is the best fit for me.

Works Bell QR - Still a little on the air about this but the deal was good for a new one:

Defi ZD Clubsport - I didn't want to clutter my interior with gauges and this was actually what I was going to buy before I left for Japan. Luckily it was much cheaper in Japan so I grabbed it while I was there.

GT86 HID headlight

ASM License Plate Bolts - For those of you that came from s2000, you'll know what ASM is. Luckily for us, they have a few 86 parts and will be coming out with even more soon!

Recaro RS-G with Recaro ASM Side Protector and ASM seat belt guide - I didn't plan on bringing a seat back with me like last year but I couldn't help myself.

TRD Antenna - I didn't realize how big this thing was until I saw it in person. After installing it, it looks pretty aggressive and definitely doesn't work with my currently stock looking car. I'll see after I install the Voltex, wheels, and all the other aero bits sitting in my living room.

Bride passenger seat rails:

Top Secret Titanium Cup - I only heard it was a Tokyo Auto Salon exclusive so I purchased one. Other than that, I have no intentions of ever using it lol

Wow that mug...it's so beautiful it brings a tear to my eye.

Apex-Apex · 02-08-2016, 05:44 AM

Tomei EL finally on! The exhaust tone became quieter but there's more drone in the cabin now. Power wise, it feels a bit faster but I'll know for sure in a week when I go get dyno.

Apex-Apex · 02-10-2016, 02:51 AM

After a long wait, coilovers are finally in! Just waiting on lower control arms and front and rear strut bar to mount the JRZ canisters.

Apex-Apex · 02-13-2016, 01:17 PM

Carbing strut bars and cusco lower control arms came in! I needed the strut bar since I needed something to mount the coilovers on.

Apex-Apex · 02-14-2016, 06:28 AM

wow, long day today. I managed to put on the Voltex swan neck wing, Downforce sideskirt, Password JDM front lip, Carbing front and rear strut bars, Cusco rear lower control arms, JRZ coilovers, Seibon vented hood, and connect the sensors for the defi gauge.

Gorgeous build man, love the quality parts.

Trust86 · 02-14-2016, 09:05 AM

Pics of the Defi ZD setup please!!! I couldn't decide between this or the gauges... Ended up going with the gauges bc I didn't know where to mount the ZD
Loving the build

Thanks! For the ZD, I put it on the steering column covering the speedometer on the left. Since I only look at the digital one in the middle, it doesn't bother me.

Apex-Apex · 02-15-2016, 12:19 AM

So after looking at the photo, the mounting of the ZD didn't look as clean as I hoped so here it is in it's new location:

I used this to mount it.

look forward to the EL dyno, and nice build bro what next?

Apex-Apex · 02-15-2016, 01:29 AM

Thanks, I should have dyno soon. Track days aside, Koyo radiator, replace the small Setrab oil cooler with a larger Koyo oil cooler, paint the Blitz bumper, some kind of force induction, a diffuser, weld in a rear roll bar and Brembo Club Sports BBK.

Apex-Apex · 02-16-2016, 03:40 AM

Wheels finally getting mounted!

Here's a shot before I take it to get height adjusted and aligned

Greddy86 · 02-28-2016, 08:34 PM

Spotted your sweet ride yesterday.😊

Just curious, how much camber are your front and rear wheels.
