Hiya, Been looking at getting an 86 for roughly a year now, so excited to finally get my hands on one. Love some of the builds I've seen at events like Japfest!! looking forward to 86 ownership. James

Hello, I'm looking for a wing mirror cover and mirror itself for passenger side (gt86 2016, orange). Anyone? I'm in South London. Happy to pick up if not too far.

I say new, I’ve had it almost a year now but love it just as much as the day I picked it up! Only recently started to change things. Got the smoked valentis and spent the weekend plastidipping the wheels and front lip (so much fun!) . Looking at getting the windows tinted & roof wrapped shortly. Got some alcantara on order to wrap the dash. And hopefully get the TD NA kit and Resonated exhaust before the end of the year. Any other mods (fairly cheap) you guys would recommend? Cheers! Dave

Reluctantly selling my Toyota GT86 Manual: The car comes with Climate Control, Cruise Control, Automatic Xenon Headlights, Fog Lights, Keyless Entry, Touch-screen Multimedia, Bluetooth & Handsfree, Limited-Slip Differential and Push-Button start along with all the usual GT86 features. Optional Extras: - Half leather seats - Heated seats - Floor Mats - Mudflaps - Toyota Armrest - MOT passed with no advisories 28/10/17. - Plenty of tread left in all four tyres. - The low and 'sharp' styling of the nose has attracted some stone chips (to be expected of a car of this age) - The previous owner missed 1 service. Excluding this, the car has a full Toyota service history. This is an excellent looking car - paint really pops in sunlight. Alloys are completely unmarked. Excellent fun to drive and well maintained. All servicing & maintenance has been carried-out by a main Toyota dealership. High-resolution photographs available on request. Car located near Hinckley. £11,750.

Hi Folks, Got my ginger GT86 today from a fellow member. Love it. I have been wearing the biggest smile all day. Can't wait to take it into work tomorrow. It will be my daily drive. Look forward to meeting you at a future meeting.

Hi guys, A bit of a long shot, but I'm after a bodykit for the '86. An Aero kit in orange is the dream, but I'll consider other offers. Cheers, Lewis

Untitled by James Baker, on Flickr The Story Hi all, I will start this off with a little intro before moving on to my new GT86. Over the past couple of months I have been considering a number of more exotic cars however I decided I didn’t want to go down the route of getting an older car just so I can have a 911, GTR etc. I would rather waiting until I can afford an nearly new version of those cars. Therefore I decided I had unfinished with the GT86 and so last week I decided to purchase a GT86/BRZ. Yesterday I travelled all the way to Edinburgh to collect this beauty. The seller was a joy to deal with and the car was as clean as he had described before I placed a deposit and booked my one way flight. Its just a shame that it took nearly 9 hours to drive home due to crazy traffic on the M6 which double the journey time. I had to resort to plenty of sugar and double expressos in the end to keep me going. My other cars This will be my third car as I currently own two others which you may be aware of, a 2006 R53 supercharged mini R53 which I am currently building which is more track focused with its cage, Yellowspeed BBK and numerous suspension mods such as KW clubsports, 2 pairs of hard race control arms, Hardrace roll centre adjusters, to name just a few: http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f273/tweedbeans-r53-second-bite-cherry-116162/ That went from this in March, totally stock: Clean by James Baker, on Flickr To its current state today, as you can see a work in progress with a full body respray to boot: Untitled by James Baker, on Flickr The rebuild by James Baker, on Flickr And I also own a 2014 Mini Cooper S 2.0 Turbo, currently running 300bhp and 460nm torque:http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f890/tweedbeans-f56-project-97834/MITP 2016 by James Baker, on Flickr I also have an Evoque family wagon, mostly driven by my other half. My previous GT86: This isn’t the first time I have owned a GT86, about a year ago I sold it on to Gudzy on here and since then I have wanted to get another when the time was right. My previous one: http://www.gt86.org.uk/forums/topic/2511-tweedbeans-gt86/ Front by James Baker, on Flickr Rear by James Baker, on Flickr My new ginger GT86: So onto my new one, its very low mileage and it great condition. Current spec above. Plans Immediate plans for this car include removing those strips, changing those rear lights and deciding on a new colour for the wheels as the matt black is nice but you lose the shape of a great looking wheel in that colour. Also after that drive home, an arm rest is a must so I will get one of those ordered ASAP, After that I want to adjust the look of the car with the HT Autos lip kit potentially and get this sitting on coilovers. After that I am planning for FI and forging. Hopefully you kind folks will allow me a couple of test drives in different FI applications to see which one works best for my needs. Lots more plans but lets get on to where it is now: Latests pictures: GT86 by James Baker, on Flickr GT86 by James Baker, on Flickr GT86 by James Baker, on Flickr Window spoiler and shark fin by James Baker, on Flickr Carbon badges by James Baker, on Flickr Work Emotion CR Ultimate 8.5 Front wheel by James Baker, on Flickr Work Emotion CR Ultimate 9.5 Rear wheel by James Baker, on Flickr JPM Coachworks Alcantara Dash by James Baker, on Flickr Perrin Shifter knob by James Baker, on Flickr
