All things must come to an end, and my last sportscar, the Nissan S14 that I've had for four years now, is now sold, just pending full payment and pickup. It had just about 400 hp when I got it, and ended up with 680 of those in the end. Sold the engine last year to build and install an all-aluminium V8 from the Corvette in it, but I've slowly realized just don't have the time and energy to build a version four of the Nissan. I had the V8 and everything, but sold those things a week or so back.
So I wanted a fun daily car, and preferrerably a newer one with all what that entails. So I've always wanted a GT86/BRZ since they came out in 2012. Loved the idea of them - lightweight sportscar, RWD and no turbo to keep things simple. Had my fair share of turbo cars before, and while you always make more power, there is also always a bigger chance of something breaking
So this friday I became the owner of a Toyota GT86 in Crystal White Pearl
Since then it has been raining almost constantly (still does as I type this), I haven't had any real chances for photos, but here are a few quick ones.

You going to change wheels and maybe a slight drop as well?
Yep, ain't that the truth
It has TRD springs on it right now, so not stock height, but I am going for coilovers later.
I have a set of Work VS-XX wheels I'm going to install soon (need adapters, the wheels are 5x114.3, and the hubs on the car are 5x100) I also have my Volk CE28N's from the Nissan, but they're a bit too wide with a low offset (18x9.5 ET15) to fit without too much camber and stretched tires.
I am also going to get the TRD sideskirts to match the front (wait. I said that already), a rear diffuser, different tail lights and a few more bits

Great car SiN! I was considering buying that one too. I really like it, especially because it's the new AE86 Trueno. The number 86 is already a great number.. the year I was born .
Hope you have lots of fun with it and drive safely!
Haha, sorry to disappoint! Not a fan of the full package with the wing..

You don't know how much i envy you now. Lots of visible goodies, TRD kit or just the front lip? Valenti tails, te37sl, seidoworks wing and noticed fins instead of typical fender vents.
Haha! That sticker is gone now, as is the ones on the side windows.

Now that's some correctly done xunning, on a car that is meant to be "xuned" instead of a citroen saxo/ford focus/etc like they do here
Congrats, SiN
Thanks buddy <3

What happened on the inside modding wise? Nice pictures as always!
Inside, I only replaced the start button with the RED TRD one, and the shift knob. It's quite nice from factory

TRD front and side skirts, TRD canards and aero fins And then you got the rest nailed down! TE37SLs are 18x9.5 on 265/35 Pilot Sport Cup 2's.
Coilovers, adjustable LCAs and toe rods, ACE Alpha 4-2-1 header and overpipe, Agency Power catback, tuned on E85 (so it puts out about 50 hp more now over stock). Also the OEM rear diffuser and HTA v2 rear spats to finish of the rear bumper.
