Kaleb’s 86

Finally got my wheels off to powder, can’t wait to get them back!! And I scored a TRD sunshade, when I drive my car to work it just gets baked in the sun and I wanted to try to somewhat protect the steering wheel. I usually hate seeing these in cars but this one fits so well I actually like it.

Loving all the oem + parts She's coming along nice. I also dig your daily IS Wagon to brand match your Frs any more pics of it?

Wagon's are so handy, I have one to go with my Brz as well. I have picked up and sold at least 3-4 sets of wheels just as of late not to mention the bunch of other part trips I have run with it lol

Small high jack for the wagon gang

Thanks man! There’s just something about wagons..super practical but still feels like a car when you drive..it’s what everyone wants but they think they need to buy some tiny crossover SUV lol
Love that blue color on yours, I wish I had one one of the cool colored IS wagons but...silver it is lol here are a few photos of the daily, really hyped on the BBS/Toyota center caps I was able to track down a few years ago! I’ve been lazy this year and still have stock wheels on and winter height on the coilovers

Wow that thing looks awesome! Nice job, the wheels suit it very well & nothing wrong with silver imo. I agree that people over look wagons for sure.. I know I did for many years until I drove my Cousins legacy Wagon for a week. I bought mine the following weekend

Carry on sir

Well after WAY too long at the powder coating company..my LMs are finally ready to go! Sort of...I assembled them last night and found out the valve stems from my 7” barrels are too narrow, so I ordered the correct ones from BBS right away, so I guess I’m waiting another week before I can get tires mounted...

Finally finished! Now I just need to get the height/alignment all dialed in.

Been a while, but the car has gotten some changes over winter. I had some clear coat damage to my front bumper so I got it repainted, and while it was off I switched to the TRD intake, the Greddy snorkel, and installed the oem fog light kit as I put the bumper back on.







So I also wanted to switch my coilovers to something a bit softer, as most of our twisty roads around here are usually pretty bumpy, so I bought some KWs and installed with new oem rear strut mounts and TRD front strut mounts. The front mounts are still rubber so it’s more forgiving than the metal camber plates on my HKS, but stiffer than stock mounts. Oh and got the Cusco lca on at the same time.






Got the car aligned and wow! Very noticeable difference, the ride quality on these coilovers is amazing. Bumps are significantly less harsh but still feels sharp and competent, really happy with the set up now. Next up, I really want to get a paint correction and ceramic coating.

Kaleb’s 86

Oh and I picked up a Verus diffuser from another owner who sold their car before they ever installed it for a crazy price! I wanted their diffuser but was planning on going with the non-aggressive version, but after having the aggressive model on...I’m pretty happy with the look.

Took a few days off work to go enjoy the car on some good roads and wow, the KWs are great. My gf really did not like how stiff the HKS SPs were, and would say how bumpy it was on road trips, after a few hours on the road she would end up with a headache. After the 6 hour drive down to TN she complimented the car and said how much smoother and comfortable the ride was, definitely a gf approved part lol







The KWs are definitely softer than SPs, but the way they hold themselves in the corners is very impressive. I was worried it might have too much body roll or just not feel as planted, but I’m extremely impressed. I doubt I’ll buy another brand of coilovers for any car ever again. 10/10 recommend
