    Initial D: Legend 3 is out in Japan now. The last scene is Takumi in his AE86 chasing an orange GT86 that's being driven by the same voice actor who played him originally. It's almost as if old Takumi is reminiscing and going back to old scenes but now owns a GT86, Perhaps there will be more. The very end hints at more movies. At the end of 5th stage Takumi now using the Impreza for deliveries passes the same GT86

    Says they made the wheels for the car. Surely they must be for sale somewhere? I could see lots wanting them for the retro look

    Love it. Thinking of nicking the striping for my red car.
    Wonder if ToyotaGB would spill the beans on who did the decals - they probably still have the CAD file - bet they'd sell a few sets of those...

    I have a cousin in Japan so it's an option although after this weeks referendum Japan parts do cost more now. Lots to think about.

    I personally gave up on looking for a light weight wheel, there's not enough information out there regarding weights and hardly any company out there will bother weighing them and hardly of the manufactures bother specifying them either.  Looking for a light weight wheel also severely limited my wheels choices as they either look meh and not very interesting while only being a little bit lighter or they look awesome, are light but cost a bomb.
    If you are looking for Rays/Gramlights/Volks then check out coorsport as they are the main UK distributors of Rays but you can also contact Fensport, Abbey Motorsports, Tarmac Sportz and probably even Amber Performance as they can source all sorts too.  The alternative would be to contact someone in Japan and have them ship stuff over for you such as Japex or 86WORX etc.

    Hi, I'm Martyn from Swansea, signed up to look for info on mods for my brother's 86. I nearly bought one a few years ago but life happened and missed my chance. Now he has one I'm jealous but also want to help him as much as possible with it. Spent a few hours driving it home and over the last few days and it's a great car even in stock form. A car that's bursting with potential

    For me it's all new because I'm used to tuning Skoda's. A quick map seeing easy gains, change intercooler, exhaust system and intake for stage 2 and my Mk2 Octavia vRS has 282bhp. Now it's a boxer and N/A tuning I need to get my head around what mods actually benefit it as it's fairly tuned already. A catback and a downpipe saw good gains on my vRS but on the 86 it's better to change manifold first? That's probably one of the first things I change.

    For now we'll stick with N/A as I don't want to lose the "86ness" of the car just yet plus he has to get used to RWD (came from a Swift Sport). I owned a Z4M a few years ago but this somehow this seems more playful and fun even though it's not as powerful and in mnay ways it's better. It's probably because it's limits are more achievable and it's definitely a chassis that's confidence inspiring. No doubt you'll see many silly questions over the coming days.


    Detailed it and got a few more coats of Collinite wax on so it's beading well now.
