Just tried fitting the Fensport reverse camera today and it seems to point downwards at the floor? It does have a little bit of a swivel but it won’t lock into place? also even if it was to lock into place it still doesn’t seem to have enough angle on it.. Has anyone else here fitted their camera?

Thanks all, seems very poorly designed then! My main use for it was also for distance from bollards,other cars etc. when reversing so may just install it how it is.. Does anyone have any recommendations to any other cameras that are easy to install?

I'm looking at getting the 3SDM 0.01 18x8.5 et 35 in Black on 225/40/18's. Firsty does anyone know if this is a good fit and will be pretty flush with the fender? Also with the bigger wheels adding more weight, will the handling and performance be affected so much that I'll be able to notice a difference?

Definitely if you’re going for 8 inch wide ones! Nicee, JR18s and JR29s were my 2nd choices! Will look really good and won’t break the bank either! 😁

Yep they are pretty much perfectly flush! 😁 It’s transformed the look of the car. They have a nice bit of concavity to them now too! What colour you going to go for? Nope not lowered yet , that’ll probably be next! 😁

So much cleaner! Yeah might give it a try 🤔 Thanks, I love them! They’re JR21’s 17x8 et35 What are you running?

Just debadged mine, I see what you mean about the holes, so perfect! 😆 wondering whether I should plastidip it black? 🤔

Quick question - I recently bought the Focal IS165TOY speakers and fitted them. The sound quality is much better but they still don’t seem to go very loud, is this because of the head unit? Im looking at something like the Pioneer SPH da230dab, would this improve this? And also would it further improve the sound quality at all?

Wheels finally on!

Looks a lot better! I was thinking of doing this the weekend, does the GT86 emblem completely cover the holes left by the Toyota badge?

Thanks Deacon. I've had a look on their website but can't find the Stoptech discs, and looking around these seem to be £200 per axel? They do have EBC discs at about £200 all round, I don't need a massive upgrade, only need them to be at least as good as OEM which I presume they would be? Cheers

Fun DIY job (maybe not fun) wrapping the centre dash and Gague hood in alacantara. Saved a good amount of £££’s and looks so much better than the cheap plastic

So I've just had another quote from MrClutch using genuine Toyota brakes and they've come out at almost 700 for new pads and discs all round. Has anyone got any suggestions where to go, would a local garage probably be the cheapest?

Brilliant, I don't want to have to mess around too much with adjusting camber and be spending a few hundred on rear LCAs if I can avoid it. Thanks! Got any ideas which 17s you might downsize to if you do?

I probably won't be taking it on track, not anytime soon anyway. I just want the coilovers to lower the car & hopefully slightly improve the handling and the ride comfort

Ordered the JR21's 17x8 et35. The right size I was after, fairly lightweight and for the money I can't complain. I'm not expecting amazing quality and strength but will be an improvement on looks anyway, Next on the list is the Coilovers. I'm looking to decrease the wheel arch gap and improve the handling. Can I just buy the Tein Flex A/Z's and lower by about 20mm to do this or do I have to purchase/adjust anything else along with them?

Think I've come to a conclusion. I'm not willing to sacrifice slightly better looks for slightly worse handling/performance. The Konig Oversteers 17x8 et35 I believe are just less than 9kg so no heavier than stock and should fit pretty well & I prefer the look of these over the Rota's . Has anyone ordered off wheelbasealloys before? It says offset "various" but can't find anywhere to select which offset I want? https://www.wheelbasealloys.com/alloy-wheels/konig/oversteer/black/17-inch/toyota/gt86/2012-present Edit: Or not they don't have them in et35

That makes it easier, atleast I don't have to buy all new wheels and can just stick with the 215's for now

I can't seem to find any Titans in lower than a 42 unless you change to a 9j I've found the Rota Force's which do a 35 and look similar. What Rota's are on yours, the Blitz?

They do the Titans in 17x9 although I presume I'll need at least 235+ on the wheels? What about 17x8 et42 225/45 on the front and 17x9 et42 235/45 on the rears, will this work and look better?

I am looking at getting the Tein Flex A coilovers too in the next few months. Do these allow you to adjust the camber without needing to buy the bolts? Hmm it's so hard to call without testing heavier wheels. I'm also thinking as a more lightweight alternative, the Rota Titans 17x8 ET42 on the same wheel. These are apparently only 7.7kg compared to the 3SDM's 10.5kg~ weight.. I do prefer the look of 18s but I still like the Titans although I'm guessing they won't be very flush with the half inch smaller rims and higher offset?

Great thanks Paul, just what I wanted to hear Sorry I'm new to the alloy scene and have very limited knowledge, I've always kept them stock before. Why might I need to adjust the camber and is it something you can do on the stock suspension?

£188.96 which seems pretty fair to me. About an hours labour rate at £80-100 I'm guessing. Thanks @Lauren , you probably saved me a bit there!

Brilliant thanks, I hope so, got too many things I want to upgrade in the coming months I've let him know it should be a 15-30 minute job and they don't have to move the engine. He said that's what he was told and he was going to check it out for me first
