While there's still a few things that really need doing maintenance wise.
the car is on the way to sale at the end of the year. So it will just get basic maintenance.
Enjoying the BC and Ling long grip. 86 is a good car, just needs maintenance.

If you know this, you know the pain.

Reassemble and Rattle is 100% gone guaranteed.
This day I also did oil change and swapped shocks
What a Shocking Upgrade in a good way.
I knew I wanted GTS Headlights from the beginning.
For about $300 you can I picked up a set of Australia Spec GT-S HID as standard on these and is integrated with the power unit in the housing + twin LED park/Running Lights
That includes Selling the Original GT Lights and Getting a harness and doing the wiring yourself.
1. the Lights
GT Spec. (6Pin)
Park Bulb /Low Beam Bulb /High Beam Projector
+ Separate DRL / Fog. (3 Pin)
Even with night breaker laser bulbs the effect was not good.
GT-S Spec (8 Pin / 7 used)
Park LED (half) /Low Beam Projector /High Beam Projector / DRL LED (Full)
GT to GT-S
Park LED (half) /Low Beam Projector / High Beam Projector / DRL LED (Full) + Separate DRL Fog.
Needs
8-6pin connector plus additional plug/pins
2. the install
3. the wiring
Once this is off and the lights are out you need to connect the DRL signal to the LED +ve of the Headlights
4. the problems
The aftermarket 6-8 pin connector pair is $100AUD
It's intended for VLAND that doesn't have a low beam
So these are basically a 4 pin connector on the GT side and a 8 pin connector (mismatched for DRL) on the GT-S Side
Having known this, I probably would have made my own harness.
5. the fixes
go to Aliexpress and get some more pinned connectors male and female (5$)
map the park lights into the 6 pin GT side of the Light harness
swap the DRL into the correct pin in the GTS headlight side of the harness
make sure.

Another note (Also make sure the pins don't bend and make contact when you plug the harness in.
Mine bent and I was chasing no Park lights for a while. bend back straight and good.)
Result... Happy!
It had been a while. I reverted to stock for some time because i was going to sell the car... but now I want to enjoy it.
