Have you had to update the security?

Great cars....I've had the Celica 190 for 10 years and the obvious choice would be the 86 for an upgrade.

Actually fantastic. Great looking car and no surprise the magazines want to feature it.

Absolutely phenomenal build OP, congratulations! The whole car looked fantastic last time we saw it on this thread... I got here via the GT86 PH Fleet article from a couple of weeks back and have read the entire thread!

I bought a GT86 (2014 with 1,350 miles on the clock) last week and am loving it so far - potentially looking to do a few little bits and pieces to it, reversing camera is job one.

How's B6 UMF looking these days?

Just read this whole thread (found it while searching for reversing camera options to install in my GT86).

Fabulous build, and exactly in line with the ethos that Toyota planned with the car - sell an affordable, relatively basic car, and make it easy to modify to the owner's requirements.

Quick question for the OP - do you still have the car? If so, what else have you done to it? If not, what has replaced it?

OPs not posted here, nor any of the GT86 forums for quite a while.

Thank you for the kind words. As LordGrover stated, I have not posted on any forums for a while now - unfortunately there are too many people who use internet forums (especially the GT86 community) for their personal ego trips for me to want to be actively involved.

I still have my GT86 - it still ticks every box for me, and there is no other car currently available that would make me want me to replace it. The only 'change' I have made is to replace the Good Year tires with Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

Hey Dave! Good to see you're still about, and better yet still have the car! Hope all's well.

As someone who enjoys reading about other cars and modifications, that's a real shame. frown

As others have said, it's a real shame you're no longer posting, I think you've done a brilliant job with the car. I was thinking about it the other day and I think something like your spec is all the sports car I think I could ever want or need.

You've done a fantastic job with Toyota's 'blank canvas' so to speak.
