GT86JP 24 Report post Posted June 12, 2017 C&P From GT86OwnersClub, Hoping this forum is a bit more lively.. So I finally picked my GT86 up today! After having to work until 9pm I was finally able to take it out and have a drive! Only round town but took it down some roads outside of town and loved it! Cant wait to stop modifying Got a few things planned such as wheels, coilovers, exhaust, intake etc.. Car is booked in to get the headlights and fogs tinted on Tuesday and going to see how much to tint the windows as well. Now all I need to do is decide between wheels or exhaust for my first mod. The tyres on the back are just standard budget ones so im thinking to get wheels first. I have seen some 2Forge ZF1s that I like, I prefer the multi spoke on the GT86 rather than the 5 or 6 spoke alloys. Just need to convince my self to fork out £1400 for the wheels and MPS4s Ill try upload the one photo I took of it once I got it home. Added 2 stickers so far in matte black so not in your face but you know theyre there. Then its going to have a massive clean on sunday as the engine bay is FILTHY! Then going with my mates S5 and M140i to get some nice photos of them all together So today I added a shark fin aerial, de badged the back and added some stickers as well as a sun strip All stickers are Matte Black so that they don't stand up so much. Going to give it a proper clean tomorrow and then it is booked in on Tuesday to get the front headlights and fogs tinted So me and my mates in their M140i and S5 went to go get some photos and the location I want to go to but we weren't allowed in because they were filming... So we went to a nearby village and happened to come accross an Alpina meet so we decided to gate crash it and take some photos Went down to Peterborough to get my front windows and fog lights tinted.. Wanted to go for same light as my dads on his S3 but cos of the shape of the GT86 lights I had to go a shade darker! Still think it looks awesome tho Just need to spray the indicators one weekend cos he said they would be too hard to do. Anyway here's some photos When I tackle the indicators im going to try red out the rear lights as well... Also going to re book in to get darker window tints all round. Just a few photos, going to go and pick up an exhaust and rear lights tomorrow night and then fit Saturday morning can't wait! So yesterday me and my dad took a trip down to billericay and Basildon to pick up my decat exhaust and smoked valenti rear lights. Got back at 10pm to wake up at 8am and start fitting.. Absolutely love how the exhaust and lights look!Also got round to fitting my K&N panel filter Only had the car a week so going to leave the mods for a while, only things I am going to do is plastidio the Toyota badges and tint spray the indicators and side repeaters. After that it will be save up for some coilovers and new wider wheels. Plastidipped the front and rear Toyota badges today Also did the GT86 side gender logos, just waiting on them to dry before I add a few coats of glossifier onto them. Got my small plates and even smaller plate.. Think I may run into a few problems with that one tho.. What do people think? Run the smallest one or the one in the middle?I also tinted it so this is what it would look like on the car.. Tinted the front and side indicators to finish the front end. Now need to make the choice between wider wheels first or coilovers Should have private plates on next week Finally my private plates are on Rear plate sticks out like a sore thumb but got some more lamin x on the way to tint it and re do the front as the left over lamin x I had before didn't quite cover it! By about 2mm in one corner! Should have private plates on next week Back end it now complete until I find a second hand smoked valenti fog light Fitted my roof spoiler from Tarmac Sportz today! Hard to get a decent photo but IRL in looks amazing! For the price you can't go wrong. Picking my wheels up on the 24th and then ill be booking in at Tuning Developments to get some BC racing coilovers fitted. Then it will go in for some window tints and sideskirts/splitter/rear spats. Then finally the reverse light will be changed to the smoked valenti one. After that will be the big save for turbo kit and BBK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After taking this photo I decided it needs dropping ASAP!

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted June 25, 2017 That is crying out to be lowered. It's the way of things that the moment you put aftermarket wheels on it will look too high! Good deal on the BC's then? Most seem to go for Tein Flex A's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen everyone goes for Teins but Ive always heard good things about BC and with that offer it just makes sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
