Back to the 86: Behold...the Green Hornet!
Well, I've enjoyed some nice cars since selling Candy O, my red '13 FRS MT...ISF, RCF, '18 911 C2 MT, LC 500...but I just couldn't stay away from the 86. This was delivered to my home in Houston, from Louisiana yesterday...

You may have bought one of the last 86s. I would hang onto it for awhile

Congratulations!
The question is, how long it will stay unmodified. Any difference you noticed in the driving feel compared to the pre facelift version? Btw, that's a very nice colour. |

Check to make sure the Amplifier bypass plug is installed correctly so that your door speakers work...It bypasses the amplifier in the trunk.

Parts are coming in. This Nameless axle back is going on today...17lb claimed weight on the Nameless site needs updating. The 1st one I bought in ~2013 was close to that, but this new 17+ version is reading 22.63 on my digital scale. Stock unit weighed 26.61lbs.

Sweet congratulations. What part of town are you at? The bronze Ampliforms will look great on the car.

Love the throw of this 1.6lb Raceseng Ashiko shifter knob, previously installed in my last manual car. Added their black ano reverse lockout as well...This shift knob was originally in the 911 (Raceseng don't have the Porsche 7 spd shift gate pattern, yet). Takes a $20 adapter swap to fit the 86. Only downside is that big chunk of SS gets pretty warm in the Texas summer heat, an takes a couple minutes to cool down. Looking at the bright side, it helps me keep my paw off the shifter when it doesn't need to be there.

Nameless axleback has been installed for a few days, seen here settled after a ~12 mile drive. Sound is great, but would not want it louder. Preferred the double wall tips they used previously. Fitment is very close, but I plan to get it closer.

Kind of an odd car progression to the LC500 then back to an 86. Full circle.
Quote:
Bit surprised to see the Hakone is rocking the old BRZ's plastic dual climate control knobs. The facelist SS knobs would look much nicer with the chrome around the push start too. An easy upgrade for in the future.
