That's hell of a drive Faith, but it would be great if you could join us. 
 
 
 
More than welcome to come along not in an 86. I think we have some people tagging along in other vehicles. If all goes well and people are up for it, I'm sure we will do another Brecons run later in the year. Enjoy your Europe trip, sounds ace!

I would have found it difficult to choose between the yellow and Orange if both were available when I got mine last summer also. Lovely colour 

More pics but not mine

WOW worked a treat and now looks 100% better 
 
Many many thanks 

I'm guessing you haven't had the car long then? That's poor alignment, very surprised that it got through quality control. Just take it back to your dealer, get them to sort it. 

I never thought about the holes but will look into this before I do anything. And I do like the looks of that with the UK plate on
 
cheers for the pics 

Hi mate I brought a new tow hook and a bit of metal plate the same size as the import plate it was a bit cheaper but I know a guy who is good at metal work. I was going to buy the one you Are looking at. And with the hole in the bumper you defanaty need to get them filled in lol took me a while to get mine done but finally got it all sorted. Don't know any one else with there number plate like this in the uk any way

OK nothing fancy but I do like the looks of this

Like the import looks of having the number plate to the site. 
 
I gather it's legal to use as you would use a standard No plate on there
 
And has anyone moved the front plate 
 
 

welcome to the forum 

hahah load of crap 
 
Pro cee'd GT. yes I was looking at one with the 86 but if you buy a car you like the 86 you really need to buy one with the heart not brain. Why I'm glad I have the 86 and not the Pro cee's GT 

you can get it from most motorstores 
 

Welcome to the forum and lovely choice on colour 

I've started saving for these. I have been looking at Works but some of the wheels on here are lovely

Here's me Zed then ,

The GT86/BRZ Blitz SUS induction kit is in stock.
  All parts included to bolt straight on.
This is the best selling Blitz filter and is easily recognisable by it’s striking stainless steel mesh design. Often copied but never bettered, the original stainless mesh filter from Blitz years after it’s initial conception on the racetracks of Japan for the Blitz touring car team. 
Made from a very fine mesh of SUS304 grade stainless steel it straightens the airflow into the engine reducing aerodynamic tumble, resulting in great power gains and a unique induction sound which identifies it as a Blitz SUS filter. The SUS power is also a dry filter and can be cleaned at normal service intervals. 

SUS Induction kits have been tested up to 1200 BHP

Since day 1 my gearbox has not been acceptable in its operation. 1st to 2nd has always been crunchy, 2nd to 3rd intermittently crunchy and general gear selection poor. It would often clunk all the way to the back axle when engaging first which is a sure sign the clutch is not fully breaking and is dragging. The car went back to Toyota twice for "adjustment" with no improvement. I fitted Redline MTL oil and had Abbey fit MTEC shift springs. A little improvement but not significant. I read on the FRS forum about altering the bite point lower and tried this. Whilst it improved driveability it actually made the problem worse and the placebo effect soon wore off.
 
I have been convinced from day 1 that the issue owners experience is clutch drag. Have experienced this so many times on bikes with cable operated clutches if the cable is not kept well lubricated and adjusted.
 
Yesterday at The Trundle I sat in Subota Boys car and felt his clutch - ooer ! Totally different to mine. After he sat in my car we both agreed that my clutch felt like it had air in it. I was all prepared to do some bleeding this weekend when today I strayed across an excellent website. Read it through a couple of times and it all made sense. Watched the video a couple of times and the guy actually has a clutch assembly on the bench to show you what to do (same as moving bite point). I set my clutch this afternoon EXACTLY how he says and double checked it. The actuator is on top of the clutch housing so you don`t need the buddy he mentions to check actuator operation.
 
I have just been out for a spin and can`t believe the difference. Bite point is probably now higher than from when I got it but gearchanges very very good. You can just feel the massive improvement. No baulking, no crunching and much much smoother. The pedal is more solid and feels exactly how it should, not like it has air in it.
 
I highly recommend anyone with the crunchy nut gearbox to try this. It is just a 10 minute job. Read the website and watch the video a couple of times. The setting is quite critical it would appear. Perhaps this car is quite sensitive to the set up and a general assembly at the factory is not sufficient ?
 
I`ll keep you posted but so far very very impressed.
 
Toyota could do with taking note of this site:

Hope you find it useful.

Driftworks sell Work Wheels:

I'm quite tempted for a set of Equip 03's for my AE86. Okay these aren't forged wheels of the Rays type, but at least they are original JDM wheels and not copies of something else.
 
I stayed 17's with my wheels, though I went an inch wider to 8", it works pretty well. I would add, though the moment you put on a nice set of wheels you will have to lower the car!
