TommyC 33 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 Hi, I'm new. I bought a 62 plate black GT86 back in July. A genuine 1 lady owner from new and it had covered 18,500 miles! I had the lumpy idle issue and associated 'christmas tree' of dash lights within a week. I lived with it for about a week while researching the issue, but fortunately it was still in the five year Toyota warranty! I dropped it off with a 'fault diary' and picked it up a few days later all clean and sorted with no bill!!! I love the car and I'm planning some modifications... HU upgrade, JR11 wheels, torque dip removal (TD UEL is currently my plan). Anyway, I hope to learn much from all the community on here 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas 244 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 Hello and welcome! Mine is 62 plate as well, no issues so far. It's only had a driver's side wing mirror replaced 2 years ago, but other than that it's all good at its 52k miles! If you need any parts, let me know I'm sure we have something you might like 1 TommyC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KevinA 695 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 Lots you can do, my advice is make a list of mods bearing in mind your usage. There is now a host of parts available and some good aftermarket parts from the many specialists you can find on here. 1 TommyC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 Welcome aboard. There's plenty of info on here and I hope you find it useful. A number of us already had the TD setup some with EL manifolds and some with UEL. I reckon as soon as you change the wheels you'll want to lower it. 1 TommyC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Years ago I had a Calibra (don't judge me) that I lowered, poly bushed, fitted 17s (big wheels at the time), fitted wilwood big brakes, magnex straight through exhaust, HIDs (a new thing at the time and only high end premium cars had them as standard), a subtle aerofoil spoiler (modified slightly and painted body colour), upgraded head unit with Focal 'mids and tweeters' and twin 12' subs. From memory it handled well, but the 86 platform is far superior (the only thing I've driven that I could compare to the 86/brz is a friend's Lotus Exige!). It would appear that I'm having some kind of mid life crisis and almost trying to build the same car again? 😬 😂 2 Lauren and Minion reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerastes 204 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 Welcome New. As others have said once you mod, you will keep going. Just make sure you have spare cash for petrol etc. 2 TommyC and KevinA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
