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.
