What did you do to or buy for your GR86 today?

I'm not usually one to start these sorts of threads, but I've grown to prefer this forum over the other one. And they have a similar thread to this so...

I just bought these items personally:

Where did you get the TRD caps?

RHDJapan, my go to for the past 15 years. My buddy is a co-owner, so I always try to give them my business and their prices are usually pretty solid when the exchange rate is there.

TRD oil cap is recently discontinued though, and I think it might be because GR is releasing one here soon.

My premium pedals arrive today. Hoping to put them on tonight.

So you didn't lower the car right? Just spacers? Any Coilover plans so far?
The Picture looks still pretty stock.

that pic is pre spacers and correct no drop as of yet; I'm waiting on Eibach to release springs. no coilover plans in the near future as it's a daily and I have my Supra as the weekend fun car.

I'm after an OEM+ sort of style personally

Haha, great stuff!
As the 86 will also be my daily, I'm wondering whats the idea behind the Eibach springs? Will those allow you to lower the car while keeping a minimum amount of comfort?

Thanks!

Yep exactly! only lowers the car like 1" and keeps standard struts and doesn't stiffen things all that much. Also doesn't require many changes to alignment in most cases so (I only bought rear arms just in case).

Why Eibach though? Because I've used them before and they made the gen 1 TRD springs (at least the US variant).

I'm looking forward to those pictures when it's done! Guess I will do it equally and I'll also get the trueno blue

Installed a brake master stopper. I had to move what I assume is an AC line as it's in a different spot than the previous gen, but aside from unclipping and bending it slightly it's good to go and could be put back at any time.

Finally tinted my front side markers and rear turn signals. Really happy with the finished look!

I just ordered a Raven GR86 and feel I'm going to need to do this, was it a kit? Film? I'd appreciate some pointers on how you went about it.

Go to 86speed.com - they sell the precut vinyl sets for like 20 bucks.

Is that the Radium brand master cylinder brake stop?
How is fitment on the second gen?

The Radium is ~$80 plus shipping and this no name was $27 shipped (seemingly identical in every way), so I went with this given it was far cheaper and that I didn't know if it would fit. But other than having to move that AC line out of the way it's great as far as I can tell. I did add a small plastic cap to the green part since however to help damp vibration and stop marring the master cylinder.
