Car looks awesome!

Will you have to make any bottom end upgrades or can they handle the extra power?

Thank you . No plans to upgrade the bottom end at this point in time. People in the USA and Australia are making serious power with the standard bottom end. I think that it is very much up to the quality of the mapping - I have total confidence in Adrian at Fensport to do it right for me.
I will be looking to upgrade the cooling as well as adding an oil cooler before I attempt any track days, though. As far as I am aware, mine will be the first customer forced induction GT 86 in the UK (it is certainly the first that Fensport are doing). They have fitted the AVO kit to their two GT 86s, one a dedicated race car for the Toyota Sprint Series, and a second automatic one. Litchfield are working on a Supercharger (a variation of the Sprintex as far as I know), but I don't think they have fitted one to a customer car yet.

Wasn't that the whole point of the GT86 though? Especially when you look at the stripped back, super basic Japan only versions they did, it's designed to be modified, upgraded and improved.

I certainly think so. It is such a great platform to 'make you own'.

That looks lovely, good work!

I'm not sure if I've ever seen one of these in the wild.

Have you taken the car on track?

[TonyTony]

Looks awesome!

Some videos when the turbo is in??

[No Sound]

Very nice car. Andy

Thank you. Not yet.

Good job on this! Not overly keen on rota grids but each to their own!

[P I Staker]

Like these cars but they just don't look quite right standard. You're doing yours just the way I would if I had the money. Liking it a lot.

[Amirhussain]

Liking this, the alloys IMO totally transform the looks of the car, in a good way

[Olivera]

Lovely example with some nice modifications, but would I be right in saying you don't have much change from 35 grand?

Rims are probably the most personal of any aftermarket mod you can make to a car. Personally, the Rota Grids (or Volk TE37s, which I would love to have, but cannot justify the extra cost) tick all the boxes for me in what I was looking for. Simple design, easy to keep clean, and available in exactly the widths and offsets I was after.

Actually, a bit more . I don't mind the cost, as I am doing exactly what I want to the car.

Thank you everyone once again for the great comments - comments like these make the costs well worthwhile.

This is what I would do if I had one. Lovely!

[GregK2]

Perefection! love what you've done here, look amaizng, and will have just the right power with the turbo. Want!

Top work! What happens with the warranty?

[Gilhooligan]

You should give yourself a high five for your efforts so far.
The Rota's suit the car, I can't get over how horrible the standard wheels look !
