ZX88's 2017 Kouki 86 -- TRD x Modellista X Work X BC Racing

[ZX88]

Calling this project round 2.





So for the last 3 years I have owned a 2013 frs. About a month ago its life was cut short thanks to being hit at a stop light on my way to work one day. The guy hit the rear so bad that the car ended up having frame damage was was eventually totaled by my insurance.

It was pretty.





RIP:




Luckily I was able to salvage most of my cool parts and for the most part the TRD items were not too damage. I ended up parting out most of the TRD kit and planned on reusing a couple of items on the new car. Mainly the Wing, Fender Wings, Coilovers and wheels.

It only took me a couple of weeks to find a replacement.

2017 Toyota 86 in Halo - 6psd

Paid close to MSRP for the base model and ended up getting some extra goodies.

-LED Foglights
-Optional Wing
-Borla Exhaust
-Trunk Mat









First impressions

Car felt great not any faster just more refined. All the stuff reviewers are saying about the improved ride quality and gearing is true.

Overall its really nice to drive in stock form. I even think the Shifter linkage is more smooth, a noticeable difference from my '13 even when it only had 29k on the odometer.

Slight Differences from the 1st gen model:

Originally I planned on re-using my modellista skirts. However, the rear bumper on the new cars is slightly different. Its actually a bit shorter and curves in more at the body line. So for those that are looking to adapt 1st gen rear spats. Well, bad news they wont fit.



A week after I bought the car I sold my old TRD kit to friend and immediately ordered the new kit from 86worx.

It was a bit more expensive than the dealership mostly due to shipping but I didnt want to wait 10+ weeks for the kit to arrive from the dealer. 86Worx was able to get the kit to me in about 3 weeks. So if you guys are interested in some cool overseas parts they are pretty good (also ordered my old seat covers from them).

Installing the kit is pretty straight forward. The side skirts install the same as the 1st gen versions using many of the same clips. The front bumper was also pretty straight forward but requires you to drill some mounting holds in the bottom of the bumper.

Side Skirts




Bottom Mounting Brackets


Clips


Mounted


Front Bumper

Basically you need to drill 4 small holes into the bottom of the front bumper and slip some screw fasteners into the holes. The kit comes with some pretty idiot proof templates. So 4 bottom screws and then 4 on each side at the fender well.





Its a snug fit but goes on pretty easy


OEM fitment is alway king


Modellista Rear Spats

These install also pretty much the same as the 1st gen. You are required to drill 2 mounting holes on each side of the rear bumper (another rear bumper different you might not expect).

The kit comes with templates so just use those, mock them up and drill the holes.





The finished result













NEXT UP coilovers and Wheels.

I was contemplating this EXACT set up with my 86 (we have the same color too). Couldn't pull the trigger, so I ended up with a front splitter and rear diffuser. Your ride is looking good!

Wow I hope to see this around Austin some time!

[mmmcambelsoup]

Damn that new TRD set up is nice, cant wait to see this with wheels and suspension! Your Zenki was dope as well. I'm from Houston and will actually be out in Austin this weekend.

[Ron B Avery]

I have the same color 86 has well. Do the parts come prepainted? I was thinking of just the TRD front spliter. What was the $?
Thanks,
Ron

Nice! I was also thinking of doing TRD kit but didn't want to do the rear end to avoid having to go quad exhaust.. This looks good!

[Vin]

The wrecked 'old' TRD hurts my eyes, want to cry them out.. At least the kouki TRD is a good replacement to soften the pain, really really like round 2 so far

[SuperTom]

Damn looks really nice. That's as far as body mods I would do on this car. A nice set of wheels and a drop will look amazing

[ZX88]

Today I installed the BC racing Coilovers and Work Emotion XD9 wheels from my old car. The drop and wheels instantly transformed this car.

Parts Update:
Project Kics 5x100 to 5x114.3 10mm conversion spacers
Work XD9 17x9.5 +28 and a 225/45/17 tire.
Work Lug Nuts
BC Racing BR Coilovers

Went out and took advantage of the Texas afternoon for a small photo shoot.

Then you probably want to stay off the forums as most on here hate the new 86 look. Although in person in real life away from a computer it looks amazing and even better with the OP's TRD kit.

I was agreeing with you. I only said to stay off the forums because you said you don't post on here much. And the influence on the forums is that the '17 86 is terrible.
