  1. It's time for me to move on from the 86 chassis so over the coming days I will be taking parts off my car - advertising everything here first. All parts have been on my car for less than 10,000 miles. Some parts have been on for less than 1,000! Will upload pics as I take parts off my car as there's too many to fit on this one post Parts can be collected from Trowbridge, Wiltshire. Or I can sort postage via UPS Tracked & Insured at buyers expense. Ideally payment via bank transfer or cash on collection. Seibon Carbon Boot CSL Style - (SOLD) This has been re-cleared with a custom sparkle clearcoat, really pops in the sun but difficult to show off in photographs. Has cut out for reversing camera but also has a bung to fill the hole if you don't have one Seibon Bonnet TS Style - (SOLD) Nearly new, no marks or dents etc. clear coat still fine. Grilles have turned the usual Seibon bronze Aerocatch Bonnet Latches - Never installed, brand new. 120-2100 series, lockable MFactory 4.67 Final Drive - £400 ONO Never installed on my car, I purchased off another member with the intention of fitting but never got around to it. Very nearly new condition and was removed by Mike @ Tuning Developments who ensured me there would be zero issues with it. Perfect upgrade for NA Auto's Grimmspeed Intake - £250 ONO Grimmspeed Strut Brace - (SOLD) Grimmspeed Hood Dampener Kit (Bonnet Dampeners) - (SOLD) Valenti Red Edition Tail Lights - (SOLD) Imported from Australia, could probably do with some new gaskets from somewhere like GasketNinja to be on the safe side when re-installing. The following parts will be coming off once I can book the car in for a ramp / when sold: Tein Flex A Coilovers - (SOLD) Covered less than 1,000 miles only just installed Impreza STi Brembo Brakes Front & Rear - (SOLD) Includes both front & rear callipers, brake discs and two sets of pads (road & track). Callipers are powder coated a custom purple Custom TRD Stitched Corbeau RRB Seat - (SOLD) Custom stitched with TRD colours and logo, includes heating seat element and runners. Would need new rail mounts as I won't supply the custom ones I made up from a safety point of view. Schroth Rallye 3 ASM Harnesses - (SOLD) Will give first refusal with the seat or sold seperate. In black and barely used. Also have a brand new matching passenger side as well Rays 57CR 18x9.5 +38 with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 245/35 Tyres - (SOLD) In white. I also have the red spoke stickers to be supplied with the wheels, I was going to fit these but decided against it with my purple callipers. Would suit the wheels perfectly as Rays have them fitted in their adverts. One wheel has curb marking about 5inches long unfortunately Other parts that may be of interest to anybody: HKS Hypermax IV SP Coilovers - I also have a set of these coilovers that need a rebuild, so if anybody is after a cheap set of track coilovers let me know

    Incoming Part Out

    Last few bits available all boxed up and ready to go: MFactory 4.67 Final Drive £400 ONO Never fitted myself, removed by Mike at Tuning Developments from a car covering very low miles with email from Mike confirming condition Grimmspeed Intake £250 ONO Have cleaned out the filter and is good as new HKS Hypermax SP Coilovers will need a rebuild after the seals failed on 3/4 coils, dust boots have also cracked but if someone knows what they’re doing they’ll be awesome track coils for cheap money

    Grab yourself a steal Having checked eBay for the same callipers, I think I might have undervalued slightly haha, there’s quite a few on there ranging from £800 for fronts - £1500 depending on whether they include discs and full set of front and rear https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-NEWAGE-FRONT-REAR-4-2-POT-BREMBO-BRAKE-CALIPERS-WRX-STI-01-07-/303917097006?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 If it’s outright braking performance you’re after then the AP fronts will probably be a better bet, however I have found these to be ample and have never ran out of brakes like I found on standard callipers & upgraded pads They also look great with the rears included, and most people just go for fronts if they get a kit from somewhere like Reyland

    Strut brace pics below, just taken it off the car for you. Have the original box and packaging for it still, in like new condition - looks awesome in the engine bay. Original Torqen advert here Front and rear callipers are as below, ignore my dirty wheels 🤣 white are impossible to keep clean atm, not off the car yet as you can see but will be coming off with the wheels & suspension Unfortunately the black interior trim is currently pending sale, should that fall through I will let you know

    @Quantum so the V2 diffuser just comes with a reverse light as standard, so I had to add in a fog light for MOT purposes - pics below (shows both lights and the diffuser from an angle)

    Awesome, yes it will come as a complete set the same as if you were to buy off the shelf new. I still have the original packaging for them if you’re planning on slamming it as low as they go you might want to consider running some adjustable drop links but for a “normal” ride height you shouldn’t need any unless yours are seized and need replacing, speaking from experience haha - Corsa C drop links are a life saver

    @KAS As far as I’m aware the body shop that installed should have just bolted them on with the pre-drilled holes. As long as this is the case then I can get them ready over the next couple of weeks. Will check for you asap

    Incoming Part Out

    @AJ124 I’ll double check for you over the weekend when I take the standard boot off, no damage that I can remember

    James' '86 Build

    Post #1: Intro & First Mods! Things are starting to come to fruition with my build so I thought I might start a thread to join in on the fun, and help myself keep track of what's happened! It's actually rather therapeutic documenting everything. A bit of history for anyone who may be interested; I purchased my car from a Toyota main dealer, last year. This car to me is a tribute to a late loved one, as she always wanted me to have something special, and the GT86 is what I chose. Light chassis, high revving engine, low centre of gravity and relatively affordable insurance for under 20s meant this was the perfect choice. The 86 is my first RWD car and I'm absolutely loving it. The power may not be anywhere near that of some of the motorbikes I've had the luck of riding, but for fun factor without the fear of losing your license you absolutely can't fault it. The car itself is a 2013 61K Grey Auto - I know I know! I just couldn't resist the flappy paddles! And the car is used for long trips and traffic infested commutes when not in the work van. Obligatory pictures of the car on Toyota's forecourt below. I have an absolute day dream when it comes to plans for the car and have a nigh on infinite list of possible mods, however taking the plunge on them is nearly always spur of the moment, so I won't list too many expectations - but I'm in the mindset of future proofing the car with any I do purchase. My main influences on here come from @Lowe, @smudge @Deacon builds. As well as the plethora of online images. Speaking of images - big thanks to Jeff for helping me work out how to upload them correctly😅 First up had to be an email to Tuning Developments after hearing so much about them on here. I grabbed myself a resonated catback off @Mike@TD.co.uk and had it installed within a fortnight of owning the car. What a difference. Cold starts are a little fruity but nothing unbearable. Perfect customer service as always. Next up was the customary Valenti tail lights - however I was slightly different in ordering from CT Autoparts in Australia. They were the cheapest I could find and had the Red Editions which I much prefer (and are a little bit rarer!) Shipping took just 5 working days. Highly recommended. To get rid of the godawful brick protruding out my bumper I got myself some new plates and installed those whilst I was at it.

    James' '86 Build

    I never got round to finishing my posts for this build and the car kind of fell behind some other projects. But as I’m now considering selling up for an upgrade there’s a final update on this post from me - potentially a big part out coming soon! Since the last post, after a trip to Autosport before Covid shut everything down, I ordered a Corbeau RRB seat with custom TRD coloured stitching which I am still to this day extremely pleased with. Daily comfort has not been sacrificed and the seat holds me in place just how I wanted. It also looks great. Schroth Rally 3 ASM harnesses in all black to go with if I ever got round to doing a track day (will be gutted if the car goes without ever seeing a track!) MOT time came around so I needed a fog light for the Rocket Bunny diffuser, I went with the FIA style light from Tegiwa and wired that in neatly, looks OK and cost next to nothing I also decided it was time for a colour change of my Rays, and went with the white. I was initially planning on going with the red spoke stickers like the Rays article on Speedhunters as that’s what convinced me to buy the wheels in the first place. But I loved the white with contrasting purple brake callipers so left it in the end. Finally, my HKS coilovers decided to piss the oil out of them after the car came out of hibernation post lockdown. Just what I wanted. So I went with a set of the tried and tested Tein Flex A’s from Partbox. I’ve loved every minute of owning this car, and will be sad to see it go when it eventually does, but I can’t help but feel I’m at the end of the road for mods without sinking even deeper and starting an engine build, and I’d rather put the money towards a new car. Thanks to all for your help on my 86 journey, it’s been an absolute pleasure

    My FedEx bill was post delivery. And was seemingly a random figure plucked out of their arse 😆👍🏼

    Car looks great, Will, nice to see a set of 57CR's in 17s, they work really well with the rest of your mods. I'd be interested to hear your favourite products for cleaning them!

    Easter Sale - Part-Box

    Do you have a contact for getting replacement HKS parts that I may be able to order through you @Lucas@PartBox? I got an intial reply by email from them ages ago but no secondary follow up with any prices (I did follow it up myself but no luck)

    Budget Build - Kai's Primo daily

    In case you didn't know - you'll need shorter wipers to match or it's an MOT fail afaik, provided the sunstrip is actually big enough for the wipers to reach that area of the windscreen.

    Bringing an 86 back from the dead

    That does look good! You're a braver man than me 😂 Good luck with the rest of the build, looks great so far. Excited to see how it finishes

    Bringing an 86 back from the dead

    Might have already asked you this somewhere else but @Samwise have you bought the V2 diffuser also? Have you thought about what you're going to do for a fog light?

    Has anyone considered JDM Combe? It's usually a pretty good club event. If it's already been spoke about - apologies!

    These were on my shopping list when I was looking for wheels. Same size as mine, same size tyres too except mine weigh 9.2 a corner! Looking at your pictures makes me wonder if I made the right choice 😂

    Almost an owner! North Yorks

    Welcome! Some good plans already. I've always liked the S2K. I'm sure I recognise that number plate, just can't think who. Someone will know! The exhaust and switchable mapping will likely be an ECUTeK remap. Most popular choice is a manifold and remap, might be lucky and have a cat back too! If you have some pictures I'm sure somebody will recognise the exhaust and be able to tell you. Enjoy the drive back!

    Have to see who gets their seat first! Wheels look great. Is your plan to use them as track wheels? What's happening to the Konig's?
