    Fitting Question

    Hi all. I am desperate to find an answer to my question. I am getting so many mixed answers that I don’t know which is the correct answer or not. I have a set of wheels, 18x8.5 et35 with a 225/35/18 on the front and 18x9.5 et35 with a 245/35/18 on the rear. The car is fitted with BC Racing coilovers. Some people have said the rears will not fit. Some say you will need lower control arms to add camber to get the wheels to tuck inside the arch and then others have said that you don’t need lower control arms because when you lower the car it will naturally camber and the wheels will fit. Some have even said that they have done it on their cars. So I just wanted to know it anyone here has actually got this size wheel to fit without any other mods like lower control arms etc or does anyone knows if they will fit. Thanks all.

    Thank you so much, the whole offset thing confuses me.

    If my rears are et35 won’t they stick more than your et30 wheels?
  4. If you run a 245/35/18 on a 9.5 et35 I thought that by simply lowering the ride height you automatically gain enough camber for the wheels to sit comfortably inside the rear arch. I have a friend who is running 8.5 et35 front with a 225/35/18 and on the rear 9.5 et35 with a 245/35/18 and does not have top mounts on the front or LCA’s on the rear, and his wheels sit inside his arches due to the natural camber due to lowering the ride height.
  5. Not sure what’s gone wrong but I can also say that I have dealt with Mike and TD. Mike went out of his way to make sure I was happy and gave me tons of advice when I wasn’t sure about products. I have met him personally, like a lot of other members here and he is a genuinely nice guy, always willing to help. Lost count on the number of times I have had to pick his brains about stuff and he has always come back to me, normally in less than 24 hours. So I am a little shocked by this post, hopefully it will all get sorted for you.
  6. This seems to be the norm with the HID kid direct from VLAND. In my opinion they suck!!! The short bean is, like you have said, useless, you can only see about 1-2 meters ahead of you, really fun on an unlit motorway at night doing 70mph, NOT. VLAND support have been absolutely useless. I have tried to adjust the beam height and it’s better but you have to get it just right, too low and it’s useless and too high and you end up blinding other motorists. Yes the VLAND look good but as for performance the OEM headlights were a million times better, wish I hadn’t bothered with VLANDS now to be honest!

    VLAND Headlights

    HiI recently installed some VLAND headlights with the D2H HID kit from VLAND as well. The light pattern is dreadful. On the left you can see a slight shadow but on the right you can see a clear dark cut off. It’s hard to explain so I have attached a photo. The light only projects about 2 meters from the car, after that it’s just black, can hardly see anything at night. I have made sure the bulbs are seated properly with the return wire at the six o’clock position. So not sure what is causing this.

  10. Hi all. I am in the market for a facelift GT86 front bumper. So I had a look on the Internet as you do. Unfortunately, as normally is the case, most of what was available was from the US. Price was around £300 ish, no grills or anything else just the bumper skin. This was direct from Toyota dealers in the states. This sounded reasonable. I also read the thread posted by Tweedbean and his facelift BRZ front bumper cost him about £278 direct from Subaru. Again the price isn’t too bad. So I rang my local Toyota dealer in Wakefield, and was quoted £680!!! Surely this is a mistake? I haven’t contacted any other dealers yet but just thought I’d post this on here and ask if anyone could recommend anywhere in particular for a facelift front bumper, grills etc?

    The Mods Begin

    Hi all. So I have had my white GT86 for just under a year now and I have finally started the mods that I have wanted to do from day one. The car is booked in with Mike at TD for BC coilovers. I have an Invidia N1 on order and that should arrive in a few days. So I am hoping we can get that installed on the visit to TD. The VLAND headlights have arrived and are waiting to be fitted once the weather gets better. I have also purchased a Beatsonic shark fin antenna. Again that will get fitted once the weather improves. I also got off ebay a trim removal tool kit to help with the front bumper removal when it comes to install the VLANDS. I have already installed the centre armrest purchased direct from Toyota. I am yet to order some Valenti rear lights and bumper forth brake light. The final purchase will be wheels and tyres, so keep watching. I also have the car booked in for some window tints.

  15. Erm so how do you know it’s available at a discount. Not being awkward but sounds strange.
  16. What’s the discount? What’s the price?
