^much thanks, your design is also top notch :D

I've been looking for engine modification advices for GT86 around the internet, there's a lot of good things i learned.
But holy shit my lack of knowledge about boxer engine kinda kills me even i've been doing these stuff for a lot of years.
Back then when i was still in 'Seto, people who bring their 86 has their engine swapped to engine like Jay-Z or RnB. Also once found one with SR in it.



As far as i know, people with 86 always saw the engine, FA20, as a disadvantage and decided to swap into something else for a quick leap, but the fact is even it's kinda heavy for a 4 banger,
FA20 (or 4U, as called by toyota purists) the design were clever enough to make the car so stable because it's engine placement is pretty low.
This makes the car handles damn (well, near) perfect.
Because of that i'll be staying with this engine for a while and gonna try to mod it until the limit (my limit, not the engine).

Been ordering some parts from HKS, might come in a few days so we'll talk more about the engine later.



Meanwhile, as you may noticed there's a Varis rear bumper hanging on my 86 butt.
Issa secondhand and with a good price for like a half of the brand new one. Felt love with it, auto-buy, paint and put it to my car as fast as i could.



also putting some decals on my rear window. Mikingo's giveaways kinda make me interested in designing stickers (graphic design is my passion xddd)
It's only the first sticker from top, the latter was a gift and leftovers....
