Vin's EUDM GT86 TRD OEM++

[Vin]

Final form interior and exterior wise, just waiting for funds to go FI











Hello,

After browsing this forum a lot let me introduce myself. I'm Vincent, 29 years and a Toyota addict since ever. My dad drove Toyota since I can remember and is now driving a Lexus. My Toyota journey started with a Yaris 1.5 TS, pretty little sleeper:




Used that to go to college, after that I got a 2002 Celica T-Sport (similar to GT-S in the US, so with the high reviing 2zz engine). It was a pre-facelift which slowly turned into a modded facelift:

After two years I got a real 03+ Facelift TS, so with OEM HID, nice interior, etc, modded this car also:

When Toyota announced the ToyoBaruScion FRS86BRZ in 2012 I really wanted one, however they were very expensive over here, close to 55k USD new. Now after 4 years more than 50% of the value is gone so I just had to get me a 86

Found a nice low milage white one, pretty stock apart from the TRD door stabilizers and custom leather interior:



Fitted the OZ wheels from the Celica



BC Racing BR coils:



Some bling bits (TRD+CUSCO)





TRD bodykit, new exhaust, red tails









Interior, TRD + Carbon + Leather:





Subaru Forester heat exhanger / oil cooler:

I came from an MK1 supercharged MR2! That counts.

Actually, I came from a 78 Corolla but we'll ignore that.

Thanks! Corolla ftw, my journey also started with a Rolla, a 1998 1.6, but no pictures of that one and not really worth mentioning

No pictures and not really worth mentioning. That sounds like MY Corolla!

Rolla's are the most reliable cars in the world

So first the bad, ordered the TRD bodykit, was told the ETA was 1,5 weeks. Well it turned out they were out of stock in whole Europe, so now they are getting shipped from Japan by boat...........ETA = 2,5 months

In the mean time:



Installed Lodem emblems
Installed a rear camera (OEM Toyota accessory in the Netherlands), very good image quality but also very bulky, so made a cut-out in the trim so only the lens pokes out, looks really oem:



Furthermore bought a Kinugawa UEL with downpipe, I hear you thinking ... Kinuwhat? Well it turns out these guys also manufacture the Tomei and Gruppe S, bought it for a steal (425 USD ) and it already should arrive next week. Will run it with a 02 spacer for while. Eventually get a tune..



And so the story continues. Will attend the first meeting with this car next weekend

[Vin]

So the manifold has not arrived yet, hopefully it will arrive next week so I can install it during the weekend.

Also installed some new stuff (gift from my dad, it's awesome sharing the same hobby) and attended my first meet with the 86. I was the only 86 present

Cusco carbon strutbrace, really nice fit and finish with integrated brake stopper





Some more TRD stuff




And some hood dampers, works great and tbh the car should have come with these stock.


Meeting time:

Wopwop my Kinugawa UEL header + overpipe is in the house. I'm no expert, but doesn't look bad for €535/$595 incl tax (21% in the Netherlands and shipping from Taiwan):

Had the rear 20% tinted. On the Celica I could do this alone, but the 86 is very hard to reach, so had it done by some pro's. Really nice result:



Also found a very cheap and nice (plastic) TRD mod



Installed the UEL header yesterday. I've coated it with VHT flameproof, searched for a profi job, but unfortunately this costs more than the header here in the Netherlands, so decided to do a DIY job. Installion was very easy with access to a lift, had to raise the engine a bit for the downpipe swap. Very pleased with the result, this really changes the car, I feel more power, but also it sounds so much better, this is how the car should have sounded stock. Still debating if I should change the rest of the exhaust too, but afraid it will be to loud



This is how it sounds, sound even better when it's really hot. I'll post a new video soon:

[Vin]

So this will get fitted next Friday . Will probably look silly with the single exit exhaust (until I can afford a custom quad pipes setup that is)



Also the cold start with the uel was way to loud, even with the stock front pipe and cat back so went for a tune



Running an of the shelve tune right now, will go for a custom tune when the intake and exhaust setup are finished

Made a small video with some more sound files and launch control, you just have to love launch control, car does 0-60 in just over 6 seconds now

More to come soon

Is it possible to have a catless header in the Netherlands?

[Vin]

Yes, our neighbors (Germany and Belgian) have very strict rules but we just need to have one high flow cat to pass emissions and that's it. You can bolt on pretty much everything on the car, we don't need to have any of the parts certified like the tuv in Germany. I love my country when it comes to modding

[Vin]

So couple of changes

Received the first parts of my interior overhaul. Carbon galore



Also fitted a new intake (because more noise, and bought second hand very very very cheap). Really curious if I can get the LTFT with the tune in control. Otherwise I'll change plans again:



With Virtual Dyno:



Also: That moment when you have to cut your rear bumper to fit the new lip .. It really hurts you . Image the feeling if cutting for RB fenders .. But the result is well worth it. A huge thanks to www.RideRound.nl / SV Sportscars, probably the cheapest way to get TRD parts in the EU



Resulted in this , will post some more pictures soon
