    Hello all!

    For sale is my freshly built set of 3-piece SSR Professor SP1 wheels in size 17X7.5 , ET around 45 , PCD 5x100.

    They've been completely rebuilt in summer and barely driven with since. 2 wheels got new barrels, all 4 got new hardware and all lips have been machined and polished and are thus like new. The SBC coat is not 100% perfect but i didn't refinish them because i liked the look. 
    I'm willing to ship the wheels if necessary but i prefer pickup since shipping won't be very cheap (even though they're lightweight wheels). 

    Asking price is now 1800€ and i'm open to offers!

    If you got any questions, feel free to ask! 

    Greetz!

    Hey everyone, 

    I’m selling my wheels since i’m looking to change things up a bit with the 86.
    They’re Rota RKR’s in 18x9.5 ET44 with Hankook Ventus V12 tires in 255/35R18. 


    Some remarks/info about the wheels: 1 wheel has some curb rash, no gashes, just rash. And 1 wheel has some dings on 2 spokes because of a lug nut that had broken off. Pictures are below. 


    Front left (dings on the spokes):

    Rear left (curb rash):

    Rear right (it has something black on the outer rim, but it's not curb rash, i think it's residue of something, but i'm not sure):

    Front right (perfectly fine):

    As for the tires, the fronts are at 6-7mm thread and the rears are at 2mm tops at the camber side and 3-4mm tops at the non-camber side, i've included pictures below. 

    Front tires:

    Rear tires (note they have been flipped so the camber wear is now towards the outside of the wheels):

    The wheels are pretty rare, they’re the only set in Europe & UK (except for a Toyota UK demo car that has them in an 8,5 wide spec) and pretty rare in general. The people who know these wheels will know they're hard to come by. 
    If you're interested or have any other questions be sure to let me know. 

    Asking price is €1200, open for offers (i can ship if needed, i'm sure we can work something out). Wheels are located in Belgium.

    Greetz,
    Joe

    Welcome to the club. Nice car, love the afterfire :D

    Thanks! I like it too (like a lot), but it will be over soon lol, i'm going to change out my catless frontpipe for a catted (and maybe resonated) one... That way i can pass emissions and i won't have the gas smell all the time in traffic. My lungs are going to appreciate that i think :P

    Welcome aboard, Joe, car is looking good! 

    I'm currently in Brugge on holiday (with my car). I was speaking to some of the Belgian guys on Facebook and they suggested that they will meet up with me on Tuesday as there is some big festival going on this weekend. If you're around I will let you know.  

    Thank you!!! Aaaah! You're the girl whos post was shared in our fb-group :D i indeed read something about a meeting, but sadly i'll be having exams (i'm still in uni) so i won't be able to make it... :(

    Hello everyone, 

    I'm Joe from Belgium and have been the proud owner of a black GT86 since february 2014 and i nicknamed her/him/it "Kurokongouseki"... I'll let you guys figure that one out ;)

    Here goes: 

    First wash when i got her: 

    wysiwyg image

    First things i did were replacing the stock tails with Valenti's and a resonated catback exhaust. The exhaust was custom made by Skytune here in Belgium and it turned out perfect (for me at least, for some it seems to be a bit loud). Also got a Perrin air inlet tube & K&N drop-in air filter :)

    Later that year i also got a Tomei UEL header, loved the combo ever since! So much even that i didn't want to further upgrade the exhaust being 'scared' i'd lose the sound it made or became obnoxiously loud... BUT ofcourse i couldn't withhold myself and got an overpipe and milltek resonated front pipe (so no more cats, but i am actually in search of a catted frontpipe so that i can pass emissions testing and still have the performance, without having to switch out the exhaust every time)!

    Some videos, so i'll let you guys be the judge ;)

    Skytune custom catback exhaust:

    I hated the look the stock wheels had, you know, how they are "sunken in" so i slapped some spacers on it awaiting the moment i could afford coils & aftermarket wheels:

    Since i love retro looks on modern cars, especially with this one having quite the heritage from the AE86, i decided to get these emblems custom made, absolutely love them & was worth every penny i paid for them:

    wysiwyg imagewysiwyg image


    Other than looks, i went and actually used the car for what it was made, my god was that fun, sadly these were the only wheels i had at the time so i couldn't go all out...
    wysiwyg image

    Other than that i redid my interior dash pieces, they were all paintmatched with the extrior, so my interior is all black with an aftermarket Goliath shiftknob from Anarchy Motive. 

    Last summer i got myself some coilovers and wheels: 
    Bilstein B14 coilovers and Rota RKR wheels. Size: 18x9.5 ET44 with 255/35/18 Hankook Ventus V12 all around (actually ET40 with 4mm spacer cause the Bilstein springs are too wide and they couldn't clear the wheels when fully lowered). This problem has been solved though since i switched from the Bilsteins to KW's, for the way i use the car the performance the V1's deliver is more than enough.

    We've organised a meet&greet a while back here in Belgium and had about 25 GT86's show up, amongst which 1 BRZ. For Belgium standards and this not being a very popular car here, this was quite a turnout!!

    Here are some images:

    And this is my own pride & joy, loved her since day one and each day more, even with her charming Toyota rattles!

    Also i'm running a "popcorn"-tune on my OFT, which gave me this, car still drives smooth enough to daily it:
    wysiwyg image

    This is a before & after, after i installed the KW's, the rear was way too low and dysfunctional on our Belgium and Brussels roads so i fiddled around with the height and i think this is a good ride height.

     
    Before:

    After:

    Then i've once again modified my reverse light! I removed the exterior smoke paint that was on there and baked them open and sprayed all the chrome, black! I'm very happy with the result, especially since now they won't cause any problems at the yearly technical check-ups, which was the main reason for my redoing this little mod :) (Don't mind the bellybutton lol, my friend took the pic while i was painting the stock wheels :P )
    wysiwyg image

    And lastly i've painted the OEM wheels (winter setup) gloss black! It's not perfect but as for winter wheels and 30€ i'm definitely pleased with the result! I just sprayed them black and afterwards did a couple of clear coats :D

    I think soon my brakes will need replacing and i also need to get the frontpipe sorted (i'm missing the hanger bolt since it vibrated itself out of there lol)

    Lastly one of my favorite pictures:

    So yeah... i guess that's about it for now... If you guys have any questions, remarks, hints, tips, tricks whatever, just comment :) 

    Looking forward to being part of this 86/BRZ-community! 


    Greetz,

    Hello guys,

    Any of you have a set of coilovers for sale?

    Specifically i'm looking for a KW V1 (or if there's no V1, KW V3)...

    I currently have a set of Bilstein B14's which are amazing coilovers but because of fitment issues with my wheels/tires i need to switch over to a setup with linear springs instead of the progressive ones used on bilsteins.

    So, if anyone has a set they want to get rid of, let me know :)

    NOTE: i'm from Belgium, so i need them to be shipped here but that shouldn't be expensive (still europe) :)

    Greetz,

    Joe
