Perth86 HKS-TRD-JDM - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

stevo_12v · 05-04-2012, 05:57 AM

Some of you guys might have wondered why the topic for this build thread is "Great Idea. I'll start!".. that's because it was the first post on the sub-forum way back when.
It's a habit of mine not to edit/delete anything online but I'd thought it'd be easier for other people to see what's the low down on this thread instead of the title being esoteric.

Details
06/12 Build Satin White Pearl / 37J / Pegasus White / WhiteOut Toyota 86 GTS 6MT

Modifications

Objective
Function/Form with a nice dose of aesthetics while remaining lightweight as possible.
I'll be using JDM KWALITEE parts where available. OR.. If there is no comparable JDM equivalent, I'll be using ADM or USDM parts. OR..
If there is a USDM part that is available and superior to any JDM equivalent, then I'll be using USDM
Car will remain naturally aspirated for as long as possible - the way the car is intended to be.

He's in Australia, I don't even know if the poor bastards down there have got official pricing yet...

Keep your hopes up! Subaru in Canada traditionally rips us off, and they were slow with pricing. They surprised us with a fair one.

Cross your fingers, say your prayers and sacrifice your virgins...

*Lightweight" racing nut/lug

(These are around the weight of a AAA battery, I was suprised at the lightness of them)

Where's that spooge gif? Nice wheel choice!

stevo_12v · 05-08-2012, 12:39 AM

This is the look I hope to acheive..

Btw I was incorrect, the racing nuts are equivalent to the weight of a Double "A" battery, not a Triple "A". Here is a comparo pic.

Just be real careful with those Al lug nuts. No air tools. Use a torque wrench. Trust me.

How much do Wedsport wheels cost for the set? Are they more spensib than the Enkei RPF-1 or PF01?

stevo_12v · 05-08-2012, 03:12 PM

Cost me about ~$2650 for the wheels, racing AL nuts and the hub centric rings. This includes the shipping/duty/gst/tariff/disbursement. The wheels themselves were only around $405-$410 AUD each. But I had to pay an extra 700ish for shipping and customs.

Wheel and tire specs? This is exactly what i want my BRZ to look like!

Great choice
