Cerastes 204 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 Hi all, I thought I would start a build thread for my daily drive; I can update it as and when I add stuff and hopefully everyone can offer some advice on what to do and not to do Please bare in mind this is my daily car so nothing ridiculous. Although maybe a turbo one day, but that is a long way ahead I bought the car in October with already a few modifications already done. TRD spoiler Shark fin antenna Valenti brake lights Reversing camera OEM mud guards OEM armrest And recently discovered it already had a remap . It also has the full leather heated seats. Some pics of the car as I bought it just after a clean. I have had to re-attach the shark fin antenna with 3M tape as the back of it was coming off. So far just a few little mods Intec 3rd brake light. Aluminium Reverse lockout (pic below) Leather cluster hood cover (pic below but difficult to see). Heated seat buttons plate cover; had to file them down as they didn't quite fit. Recently added some TRD aero wings Looking at few other changes to be made, particularly the exhaust. 2 Keethos and MrWoohoo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 Another little addition, will try to get it fitted at some point. 1 Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted March 8, 2017 I have ordered some more stuff; I haven't even fitted the other items yet. It's a disease . I just "work" overtime. Edit: I get some pics when they have been added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrWoohoo 6 Report post Posted March 8, 2017 Looks good so far, just curious where your reverse camera is located? New to these cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted March 12, 2017 Ops sorry @MrWoohoo didn't see this. The reverse camera is where the button is for opening the boot, it's on the far left so not in the way. I would get a picture but I seem to be up to my limit? Anyone know how I can increase my upload limit? I assume become a premium member? Update on the car, got the Mishimoto intake pipe fitted and new Blitz panel filter fitted. Again, unfortunately I can't get any pictures. I still have the side indicators to fit, but that's a job for a less rainy day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No problem, I have seen some installed in the US in the centre but I have to assume they don't have the boot opening button. I have noticed a hole near the end and presume this is where I'll have to install one, is yours standard or aftermarket camera? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted March 12, 2017 I'm not sure, I bought the car with it fitted; I didn't know it had it until the trader sent a video of the car and pointed it out; which was another added bonus . How would I know it is standard? It wasn't something I needed/wanted but now I have it I really make use of it. I will try to get some pics after work. 1 MrWoohoo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerastes 204 Report post Posted March 12, 2017 Good to know. Thanks. I had a feeling it might be aftermarket as the car already had a lot of stuff done to it, so previous owner was a modding type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice bonus indeed , thanks I'd appreciate it if you could get some pics up as I'm looking to get a camera sometime soon. Yes I think you do have more attachment space being a premium member but best to check with admins to make sure, I got premium membership because you get some nice benefits plus it didn't cost a lot for the upgrade and you also help support the site.

MrWoohoo 6 Report post Posted March 14, 2017 No problem, I appreciate the pic it helped me a great deal, thanks. It looks very much like the camera from the plug and play kit sold by Fensport, other ones I've seen hang down a lot further and don't look so nice, I feel a purchase coming on soon. http://www.fensport.co.uk/parts/toyota/gt-86/zn6/accessories/gt86-reverse-camera-kit/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted March 14, 2017 No problem @MrWoohoo I'm glad it was already fitted, I don't fancy doing that job myself haha. Thanks @don I really like the TRD spoiler too, the car certainly gets a lot of compliments from the older generation at work which is nice, a little more sophisticated . Sometimes I wish it was a little bigger but then I like how it is a little smaller and flows with the rest of the rear. Gradually getting some black parts/colours onto the car so the red isn't overpowering. The exhaust is next though, it's just far to quiet. The intake and filter that I fitted are quiet too, not sure if that is a good thing, hopefully when the UEL manifold is fitted I will be able to hear that.

Cerastes 204 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 Hopefully by this time tomorrow, my car will have an UEL manifold/header and a remap Can't wait. Cleaned and waxed the car today too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerastes 204 Report post Posted March 20, 2017 Tomei. Sorry, what's RCM not heard of that one before. Still a little on the quiet side but goes well. Fensport did a fantastic job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerastes 204 Report post Posted March 21, 2017 Ah ok thanks. I hadn't heard of them, probably cheaper than the tomei. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted March 24, 2017 Nothing nicer than a freshly cleaned car. Full clean and wax outside. Full clean inside, cleaned all leather with leather cleaner and leather care balm. Edit: Forgot the most important pic, the engine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
