    Good luck buying a replacement as I have never bought replacement part that didnt really need respray. These parts come off salvage cars and the cars are not the most looked after around yards with forklifts. Its also hard to ship door if you are not willing to collect so most likely one corner will be bend/dented.

    I am not sure who people are using on resprays as my bodyshop in Poland that charges me around £70-100 a panel never had problem matching and blending any pear white. (GT86 & 370z repaired in last couple years.)

    The only time the colour wont match is if the painter is blind or just spraying based on colour code and not matching the shade. That kind of painter I would try to avoid by all means...

    I haven't got my gt86 yet, have to wait next year april to get one. The reason way is becaue insurance and my age. I think the wait will be well worth it.

     

    In the mean time what do you love about your gt86 and what was your first mod on your car.

    Had my first GT86 at 19yrs old and with 1ncb the insurance was almost the same as my 1.2tdi Ibiza (900 a year). I had few cars in between and now own a BRZ and currently pay around 450 for whole year at 22yrs. 

     

    The insurance on these car is actually quite cheap, the main trick is to shop around.

    I can guarantee that this will sort out your problem. If I can't be bothered to get my DA polisher out on couple scratches I always use this. (2 second job)

     

    Edit/

    I thought it was just scratches but on second look looks like the paint is gone in places.

    Hi all, 

    Recently bought my 86’ and noticed that the aircon is busted. Toyota have diagnosed it as being a damaged pipe from the Condenser to the Evaporator (and quoted £700 to fix it ofcourse) so I’m going to just buy the part myself and get a local garage that has the gas and will do it for a reasonable price to sort it. However, I’m having trouble finding the right part for it. Does anyone know which of these parts is the one I’m looking for? https://www.subaruparts.com/auto-parts/2015/subaru/brz/limited-trim/2-0l-h4-gas-engine/hvac-cat/condenser-compressor-and-lines-scat

     

    The garage also gave me the part number (TSU 003-A0010) but haven’t been able to find reference to that anywhere else. 

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

     I wouldn't expect a cheap fix if your aircon gas is the expensive version (R1234yf). The problem you will also find is that 99% of your local garages will not stock this gas and the lowest price I've seen a full regas on the R1234yf is around 200-300. I would establish what gas is used in your GT86 by popping the bonnet and next to the latch you will see aircon sticker which will tell you if you've got R1234yf(Expensive) or R134A(Normal/cheap)

    Currently talking to HZ Performance which seem to think that they might have the same bodykit in stock, just waiting for confirmation and detailed photos.

    The HT Autos has simillar front lip but the sides and rear are just simple plastic extension pieces that bolt under the car. I like the other kit because it slight goes over the cars body making it almost a bodykit not just little extension pieces. 

     

    Anyone up for group buy?

    Hi, Wondering if anyone had any experience shipping and importing parts from US and what are the best and cheapest ways of doing so. I am interested in STI replica lip kit by Bayson R which is priced around $270. Seems to have great reviews all over ft86 forum and the fitment is suppose to be spot on. COMB0-D-SUBRZ126A5A5A-2.jpg

     

    If anyone wants to arrange a group buy and sort out logistics then that would be amazing.

    Hi everyone,

    Unfortunately on the way to work this morning my BRZ and a pigeon had a minor disagreement about the rules of the road. Ultimately and BRZ and I won, but at a cost of the driver-side headlight lens.

    I don't suppose anyone has any of the following:

    1. A replacement piece of plastic (since the lamps all work still)
    2. A complete replacement light assembly (driver-side)
    3. Failing everything else, a pair of headlights for a BRZ!

    Thanks all,
    Bertii

    I had to order mine used from USA as the price for just the complete unit here was around 800-900 at dealership for one headlight. I managed to source a used complete headlight for around £260 using global shipping on eBay.com. The light pattern in USA is flat so it will still pass MOT. 

     

    Only one other option would be to buy an aftermarket set of headlights from fensport for around 450. Then I would probably sell the other Brz headlight on eBay.

    Has the warranty ran out?

    I am not sure as I bought the car few months and the HSD were fitted, I haven't got any proof of purchase so I guess I will have to pay the full price for the shock. Not really too impressed with HSD if I am honest, they looked pretty much brand new when I got the car so can't imagine them being too old. Not really sure how long coilovers usually last but I never had to replace stock shocks after few thousand miles.

    I've adjusted the droplinks checked all the bolts were tight and then decided to give up on trying to fix this my self. Dropped it off at local Subaru specialist and he seems to think that it's the shock absorber, I guess I just need to find out if I can buy replacement shock on driftworks.

     

    Thanks everyone for input
