Tunsbe's Toyota GT86 from Finland

Hello everybody!

I'm new here and i want to introduce me and my car.

So.. I'm 25yo guy from Finland. That's enough of me.

To car -->

My car is lightning red (cp7) Toyota GT86 with manual gearbox.
I preorder my car in march 2012 and get it in early august. GT86 came in market in Finland late july 2012.
Finnish model contains in stock etc.:
-Red/Black interior with leather/alcantra sportseats.
-Multimedia-system with navi, usb, mp3/wma-receiver and keyless go-accessory. (JBL-soundsystem was a choiceable accessory, i didn't need it because my friend has a carhifi store and i can get there better soundsystem in same money).
-Auto A/C

First pic, when i get the car, early august 2012.


Couple of days after getting car, the sound system upgrade starts.
First we damped doors, floor and whole rear end.




Trunk was covered in dark grey fabric so it looks like stock.
Second last pic is amplifiers place. Under the trunk cover.
In the last pic is the temporary sub box.

Soundsystem contains:
Stock receiver with navi, usb, mp3/wma.
Audison Voce 3-way front speaker set in stock places.(6,5" woofer, 3,5" mid, 1" tweeter).
Audison Voce 12" subwoofer X 2.
Audison Voce 5-channel amplifier, 2x170w&2x100w&1x1000w.
Audison Bit Ten D, multi-function digital processor.
Audison Connection cables.

Sounds good and loud.

After that was time to enjoy the car with its best feature, Driving.

Few months later i want some performance update. BUT..
In Finland we don't have tuning stores which sell parts to this car.. Every part has to order from overseas.. Frustrating...
Thank god one company called Martelius Exhaust asked me if i want to cooperate with them and do full exhaust to GT86. I can get whole 2,5" header back exhaust for free if they can test my car with exhaust. Of course im in.
To this date i have catback(pic) and cat-converter in place.


By june i get header in place.

Last month i ordered first parts in overseas, H&R -25mm springs and lip kit.
Before:

After:


Current look:


Tomorrow i get new wheels. Brock B6 silverchrome 8,5"x18" ET35 in front, 10"x18" ET30 in back with 215/40&245/35 tyres.

Future parts & plans:
Innovate Twin Screw Supercharger kit stage2. When it comes for sale.
3" exhaust.
Bc Racing coilovers.

Hope you understand my bad english and messy text. Thanks for reading.
