Parts, parts and parts

Finally the 86 is starting to look like a car! Skip wanted to get rid of the old bumpers from his 86 and told me that he had a container available so i took that chance and bought as many parts as possible. He found almost everything i needed in UpGarage, thanks mate! The only thing i didn't get was the headlight covers, trims and motors, luckily i found all these on eBay. Well i saw a set of OEM headlights on UpGarage too but they were kinda expensive. As an alternative Skip found a set of Raybrig Multi Reflector headlamps, they look even better with clear lenses. I had some more work assembling the headlights but i'd say it was worth it!


So this is how it looks now. First off - bodykit! Vertex front bumper and sideskirts and a Run Free rear bumper, it'll need plenty of work before preparing it for paint though. I also got a FRP hood and trunk, well i already had a trunk but this one has a pretty cool wing on it, looks like it's a TRD wing. (also weight reduction bro!!) And let's not forget that sick TRD sunstrip, thanks to Radcoon for that!


It finally got an exhaust system too! I bought it a long time ago from Marcus, it was from a S15 so it didn't fit straight away lol. That's why i like buying parts randomly, you never know when you'll find them useful! One taillight and front indicators were missing, now that's been taken care of too. They probably don't work but i'll figure something out. By the way would you look at those wheels?! I threw them on just to make the fenders fit and to get a better look at its stance cause the previous wheels had too big tires, i'm so surprised by how well they fit!


I got a set of TRD strut bars for the front and back, i bought a bolt in rollcage as well but i'll try to fit that later.


Not only does the front strut bar increase chassis stiffness, it makes the engine bay look good too. And yes, those are ITB's on the 3S-GE! They are from an AE101, Skip found them in UpGarage like the rest of the parts. Trumpets were not included so he bought a set from Toda Racing.


Next step on the 86 is a respray, i guess! The body parts i got need some serious work before painting though. I also bought some more parts that i didn't show you yet: A bolt in rollcage, an Altezza 6 speed gearbox, an Ogura racing clutch and a TRD LSD. I may do some more engine mods before fitting that stuff, the Beams already has an impressive power output for its size but i'll try to squeeze some more out of it. Also i have a spare rear bumper from Skip's 86, it's a Do-Luck replica. Neither of us likes it so if anyone wants it let me know!
