Even better! I'll definitely stay tuned for that. Also, your project reminded me of this wicked Ferrari 458 Italia-powered 86 I saw on Speedhunters a few weeks back:

I picked up a Toyota 86 - 860 Special Edition in nova bomb orange with matching stitching this past Memorial Day. It already came with a TRD exhaust. I'll be getting some tint on the windows and a TRD cold air intake soon..
Took it on some fun back country roads in So Cal.
Still amazed how nice looking the 86/frs/brz is..
Its like It belong to a family of uglies and the 86 is adopted...

Same way for just about any optional part really!
I was bored so I've been planning out my drift build today, picking up a second 86 with no engine or interior as a base for the project. (thank you people that blow their engines!!!)
Still a toss between an LS3 and one of the other motors I have lay around for whats going into it, along with a redesigned subframe and most of the front support redone too.
Regardless of which route I take it'll have to be a rear mount radiator so I plan on cutting out the floor pans for what would normally be the rear seat and running custom channels up and to the rad. should be fun!
Shopping list so far:
Work Emotion CR Kiwami, White, 10.5J 22 all round
Tomei Xpreme UEL header
D2 R-Spec coilovers
Wisefab angle kit
Velox rear LCA
Godspeed billet CNC hydraulic brake
Runduce 6 pot calipers on 356mm disks front, reusing oem front calipers for hydro ebrake on rear
Fabrication list:
Secondary caliper mount for rear
Rollcage
Rear subframe
Front frame
Air channeling (Rad)
Air channeling (Front brake)
Sub channeling (Rad intake to rear dual caliper)
Damn! You aren't messing around. Nice!

Just keep paying the car down and in a couple of years sell/trade in for an R.

The 86 is really a step back from the FRs and BRZ
what? they're like the same car

I mean the styling, especially the front end

Overall, the styling is pretty damn close. I was going to go with a BRZ Limited, as Toyota only had the base model, but then they came out with the 860, which is more in line with a Limited. The 860 even has the same rear spoiler as the BRZ. One thing that bugs me about the BRZ is the cheap looking chunk of black plastic on the front end, the "BRZ stash".

Imho the 86 looks butt ugly, that front bumper is over designed, the BRZ was always the prettier car.

86 butt ugly?
Ugly like Racheal Leigh Cook in She's All That when she wear glasses?
C'mon the 86 nothing compare to Sloth like ugliness of what toyota been doing...

The inspiration behind the 86's front:
Yep, a goddamn carp lol.

I meant to specify the front bumper only, I love the car in general but I think the BRZ has a much better front bumper.

Prolly the best idea. Get a refreshed R. Who knows, maybe I will be interested in a different car by then.

I really like that color combo. That's one of the best looking stock 86's that I have seen. Congrats and enjoy it!
When it was first revealed, I thought that the 86's front bumper looked malformed, but it has grown on me and gives the car some character. The BRZ's looks a bit bland in comparison.
Also, I just installed LED turn signal bulbs and they look so much better than the stock incandescent ones. I've noticed that a lot of newer cars have LED brake lights now, but the turn signals are still incandescent, which makes them look cheap. Just go all the way!

Went to an 80s party in Los Gatos last night and an old friend arrived in his daily driver. Jesus.
And I noticed this morning the car randomly driving by in the second shot.
Looks like a Gemballa Carrera GT. That's very rare.
Though your friend's got a pretty sick piece of kit as well. Plus, he's got the look for the party down, haha.
That's me. I'm wearing a wig.

Shit, you got me. I did suspect it. But the wig is too good.
Winning!

An artsy edit of this picture could almost pass for official Rockstar artwork for GTA: Vice City.
Lol
Btw the baby blue was a factory special order. Apparently this particular car is even more bonkers than a regular laferrari.

Jesus how does someone just accidentally capture a Gemballa CGT in a photo.

LOL. Excellent!
AlphaSnake
...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Those are some serious pics...wow. Does the guy with the LaFerrari know the owner of the CGT? Surely this can't be a coincidence right?
It's a complete coincidence- random snapshot. However the Ferrari guy owns a "regular" cgt too and just got back from Maranello where he took delivery of an 812 Superfast.
My 6 yo is having an end of year party and since I'm an anti social jerk I've been planning something else to do. Even anticipated the moms parking right in front of my garage, so I parked my car at the top of the driveway and off to the side to make my escape...
Lol, wtf. Yes, 95% of my driveway is empty, including in front of the garage doors. I can't win.

I know there IS enough room for me to get out, but I'm still cracking ip
No but the owner is remarkably chill about it and probably would have let me. I did get to adjust the pedals assembly - the seats are bolted directly to the car's monocoque chassis, so to fit you press a button to slide the pedals towards you. Bonkers.
I'd be terrified to drive it.
My god, same.
Every few years I get the urge to drive a manual and I'm going through that now. My first car I bought was in 2003 when I bought a 1988 Mazda RX7 N/A with a 5 speed for $1500. I had my dad to teach me and unfortunately he was a horrible teacher and would usually laugh when I would constantly stall the car. Once I got into the rhythm though I was good but I left for college just a few months later so I never had it down or felt confident. Eventually the car was washed away by hurricane Katrina, never to be seen again. Now I want to try again but I don't know anyone here who has a standard to practice. There is a school that does have manual lessons (by the hour) and they do provide the vehicles so I'm thinking about trying that. I just want to feel comfortable next time I car shop to be able to look at everything I'm interested in, instead of crossing vehicles like the Focus ST and Civic Si off the list.

Wow! And you sitting there with that look and wig just makes it too. Classic.
Oh LOL!

They were all thinking the same thing you were.
Everytime I'm in the garage, that's what they block. I think my wife told them to trap me here, it's the only thing that makes sense :/

Dat Microsoft money...
Lol. No. The owner never worked at MS.
I mistook it as you being the owner.

Lmao this always happens. I don't understand why some people feel the need to park next to somebody else even if there is so much free space everywhere else.
I parked at the far end of the supermarket car park the other day away from everybody else and the crazy people who HAVE to park as close to the entrance as physically possible, even if it means squeezing into a tight space and getting/causing door dings. I come out the supermarket and there is this huge ass pickup parked right next to me. He literally could have gone one space further either side of me as there was all the space in the world but nope, he's gotta park right next to me. And then he glares at me as I'm carefully getting into my car to avoid touching his car. Felt like telling him to go do one.
Why, just why.

Because you think you're so god damned special with your nice car, parking so far away from everyone else. You think you're better than me because you have a nice car? Fuck you, Fuck you! You're not better than me or my fucking truck! I'll show you that you're not better than me! Fuck you!
That's why.
