It will be seen and more people seeing it then there is better chance of someone feeling crazy and putting in an offer/going away thinking about it. 3. Also with these youtubers etc when they do these walk around videos of clubs, they will notice it and probably mention it on their youtube channels
"look at this one, it looks awesome... oh it's for sale"
I'll only take 1% commission lol. I'm cheap
Very good idea! Love it. Haha you're rates are extremely competitive. I may be away with work during Japfest but I'll see if I can rearrange. Because that's a cracking plan!
@Paul I'm not with Tuned UK anymore mate. Sold it on. But a good idea non the less

@sagecalla the best bet is to go and look over in the US forum where loads have fitted the kit.
Yeah the US forum are the best place for advise on spec for wide body kits. Other than the standard cutting / grinding and welding required to fit the arches, I needed extensive modifications to be carried out to the front arches as there was too much negative offset on them. They eventually fitted.
My wheel specs are: Front - 18 x 9.5 ET -36 Rear - 18 x 10.5 ET -47
The rear wheels needed around -5.5 camber to get them to fit. So if you want to use it for the track, or as a practical car then go for more positive offset. But at least you know the limitations of what can be used.

So I spent all day yesterday researching the right donor car, for both a wide body and a turbo conversion looking at parts and the right guys to carry the work out.
I just happened to find this particular forum, thought id sign up and have a look to see whats about and found your car up for sale, crazy..!
Keep in touch with me, I need to get my car prepped and ready for sale in the early summer, if she is still up, give me a call, ill buy it..!
All the best, good luck.
Ahh cheers for the good words mate.
I've just been offered a good deal on another car, so I'm looking at selling my 86 asap. I've just dropped the price by £2,000 to £24,995 to help with this.
Good luck with your build if this does go though

As some of you know, I'm looking at selling my wide bodied GT86.
It's a highly modified wide bodied, turbo charged GT86. A real head turner, which has done it's rounds at many a car show, car magazines and has been transformed over the last 2 years into something very special.
It is a 62 plate Toyota GT86, 35,000 miles with a full service history. The car was completely standard when I bought it over 3 years ago, and all the work that has been carried out, has been done my specialists in the field, with a lot of the receipts.
The car has been turbo charged by Fensport, with a AVO stage 3 turbo kit, complete with uprated fuel pump, fuel injectors, 3" AVO exhaust system, oil cooler and P1 Boost gauge. Currently running at 323bhp, the power to weight ratio makes it a handful.
The Rocket Bunny V1 style kit, was custom made for the build, and has been professionally fitted, completely sealed, and splash guards fitted. The golden anodized aluminium bolts, fitted with riv-nuts (the way they should be done) set off the colour theme, complementing the Work Meister M1 Alloy wheels, custom made, with a high negative offset.
Since the engine has been modified with the AVO system, it has been serviced every 5000 miles, and only been run on Millers Oil and Shell V-Power fuel. The last service a few months ago, included uprated HKS Grade 10 Spark Plugs being fitted, and braided brake lines.
The Airrex air system kit was installed, complete with management system, and wireless remote, this is a £5000 kit which is one of the best available, and hasn't done more than 600 miles since it was fitted.
A full list of modifications:
Engine (currently running 323bhp):
AVO Stage 3 Billet Turbo Kit - Ceramic Coated
AVO Turboworld Race Breather System
Forge Dump Valve
Mishimoto Racing Thermostat
Fidanza Aluminium Flywheel
Helix Srung Organic Drive Plate
GT86 Turbo 25 Row Half Width Oil Cooler Kit
246 L/Hour Uprated Fuel Pump
540cc Injector Set with Plugs & Plugtails
P3 Turbo Gauge
Blitz SUS Induction Air Filter
Exhaust:
3" AVO S/S Full Turbo Back Exhaust System
Suspension / Setup:
Airrex Suspension system, complete with management system & wireless remote
Eibach Rear Camber arms & Toe arms
Whiteline Strutbrace
Cosmetic:
Wide Body Kit V1 RB Style complete with Side skirts and Front Splitter
Anodised Gold Rivnut Bolts
Seibon Carbon GT Wing
Buddy Club Rear Lights
APR Formula GT3 Carbon Fibre Wing Mirrors
HIC Rear Window Visor
Perrin License Plate Holder (removable)
Wheels:
Work Meister M1's 18" x 10.5" rear & 18" x 9.5" front
Open ended Red Lug Nuts
Inside:
Nardi Driftworks Perforated Leather Steering Wheel
Carbon Weave Interior Panels
A lot of hard work and dedication has gone into this build taking up to 3 years to complete, totaling over £50,000 being spent. Unique and extremely fun. But time has come, for me to move on to something else. All service history, receipts and paperwork are available for review. Any questions or additional photos wanted, just ask.
Asking . . . . . £21,995 open to sensible offers

The main road (leading to the train station) has parking either side of it, and has loads of free spaces usually. So that's our best bet. Other than that there is a small car park around the back, but that never usually has any spaces. And it is rather cosy.

That was a good one, I'll give you that 😂
I used the HKB boss kit. Really easy to fit to be fair. Yeah Lauren, you can get the cruise control to fit, just takes a bit of DIY. It requires a remap, I had mine done at Fensport when having the turbo fitted. I have to now push the accelerator to the floor and press the heated windscreen button to change maps. I feel like James Bond everytime. 😉

I did indeed. Makes it a pain to change the map on the car,but love the feel of the nardi steering wheel. definitely recommend it.

Been a while since I've done an update. Not a lot has happened as such with the build. A few decals have been applied for extra bhp, and I've been messing around with the suspension set up. She's also been featured in this months Banzai magazine.
As I've been attending a number of car shows, I seem to be continually altering the ride height. Low for the show and then raise it up for daily use. As much as I love my coilovers, I am rather tempted by the ease of air suspension. This would make it would so much easier, as most of you know the car isn't set up for the track, I seem to be enjoying the show scene at the moment.
Although after speaking to a representative of Air Lift Performance at FittedUK last weekend, It's very interesting to see how far their management systems have come over the past few years. Food for thought.
Here are a few pictures of the last few shows and a few from Banzai:
