GT86-Xtreme Plan?

 

So I have narrowed down a plan for the 86. 

I wanted a look that reflected the JDM 86 with watanabe style 

The GT 86 is a bit bigger and when you look for RS Watanabe wheels. they simply can't fit a rocket bunny fender that is absolutely very very very wide. 

The size and height of an 18 wheel leads itself to a relatively legal ride height. 

Rotiform simply RIP OFF the bestg of Japan. 

MLW is a Watanabe replica in a 1 piece construction. imsure about 10K by the time they land in OZ.

There is also the Rotiform Six that is basically the TE37. 

So choice is 1 of 2. 

One other person had this idea on the internet. 

Size is ... wait for it.

5x100 18x9 Offset -20!  with 225 stretched

5x100 18x10 Offset -53!!!!  with 255 stretched.

Australia needs this compliance and an engineered modification for the track width increase. 

Performance wise. 

Everything in research points to a read final drive ratio change to 4.9 and a ecu flash. 

For an understated low power machine that is fun on the backroads. thats about the only place left to enjoy performance cars on a daily basis.  

Lets look forward to the next few years. 

Nothing will happen quickly. Money is tight. 

  

Start

The Hachi Rocku combines many traits of my previous cars. 

Subaru WRX, Mazda Rx7 & 2L Roadsters , Toyota MR2 

Just minus any of the turbos. 

With RX7s now in to 100K mark. And my desire to have a low power 13b NA fd anyway without the power component. 

The GT spec has the basics which is all I need. FR layout and a little style. 

in some ways the photos don't due it justice because the car is actually more fun than the boring silver exterior conveys. 

and in these days of over policed over monitored motoring. the less attention, the better. 

Really looking forward to the 86 GT - "G" Spec Xtreme project.

Just the basics. 

tight supportive seats.  

Speed, Rev, Fuel. 

Radio has BT. so all good. 

Just drift.... I mean drive.
