That’s interesting I had the same issue. Car was up TD for a couple of weeks and apparently the day before I was to collect it was hit. Iv now sold my 86 but after speaking to others that had spent big money there like myself it seems a case of you get what you pay for. Like Martin I had the issue of the super res breaking which is obviously a design/welding fault. And another for all of you turbo owners it may be worth checking your mounting bolts and oil feed. I thought I had an air leak but was the manifold bolts working them self loose, and the oil line came loose and spat oil over the turbo and engine which was worrying seeing all the smoke, I also know this happened to another owner too. that being said though I done a few track days with mine and it never let me down just a few small teething and quality issues which probably comes as part of the gamble when their kit is much cheaper

Yes it a 2.0 GR sport looks really nice and goes quite well too. Although I have just mainly been pootling so far was nice to see anything from 40-70mpg

picked up the new Toyota today, really happy so far, just need to get used to all the settings on it

Sadly after owning my 86 for 31/2 years I have now sold it. Was a bit sad to see it head off down the road especially after the 1000’s I had put into the car. Using it as an only car I decided I fancied something a bit more comfortable and was looking for an automatic for city driving. Only positive really is I’m keeping with Toyota’s and picking up my corolla 2.0 tomorrow. Hopefully in a couple of years the GR86 will drop in price then I can run one as a fun car

I have done this. Was just wondering if there was a demand for the parts

Hi, seriously considering selling up. Would like to sell my car as is as it’s so well sorted however if that doesn’t happen then I may look into part ex’ing. just wondered if there was a market for 2nd hand turbos, I have the TD kit and would be tempted to have it removed and go back to stock if there was a demand for it and what sort of price would be reasonable to ask?

Just to add it has a 949 racing steering wheel extension. also have stock manifold and brakes

Sure an LS swap will cost 3-5times what it does to forge an FA20 or swap to an FA24

Not sure about the unmodded examples as the engine is a bit flat stock I’m not sure it’ll be as sort after as some other models

An engine swap is going to cost at least double the £6-7000 to turbo. If you go TD turbo and oil cooler is about £5000 all done. if your thinking of modding I’d buy 2nd hand and have it all already done. Did list a classified for mine but don’t think I can bring myself to sell it however £15’000-£20’000 you could get a GT already fully sorted

The super res would only fit the TD cat back you couldn’t fit it to the stock back box

When driven aggressively the mpg really drops on these. Just been using mine for fun and short trips and have averaged about 20mpg. Whereas a short gentle commute gets it to 30 and motorway is 35-40. That’s turbo with a shorter final drive

Car was turbo’d about 18months ago then went stage 2 about 6 months back

Oops thanks

2017 Toyota GT86 · Coupe · Driven 35,000 miles Hi, thinking of putting my 86 up for sale. Car is highly modded and has had no expense spared with my goal to build it it into a fast and reliable car which I believe has been achieved. It’s a 2017 facelift pro model. Done almost 35’000 and has been my only car for 31/2 years and has been nothing but reliable in all this time. Mods are Tuning developments turbo kit, also have their stage 2 parts fitted so can swap between 280bhp and 320bhp, all it needs now is forged conrods and it is good for 400+ bhp TD full exhaust system TD oil cooler Baffled sump Tein flex A coilovers and rear arms (SPL) from memory Mtec clutch and gearbox springs + diff mount Mtec 4.44 final drive Summit strut brace As new AP 4pot callipers and 330mm disc 2forge 18x9 wheels Focal speakers Probably a few other bits Iv forgotten about, have a pile of receipts totalling 1000’s Only issues are curb marks on a few wheels and some small chips on the bonnet (have paint to touch these in when I get the time)
