Mitchell's red GTS 86 Aero

[mbruce]

Hi,

Recently got a new GTS 86 Aero with manual trans.

Its a real joy to drive! Not really sure what mods to do just yet, but over time wheels, suspension, exhaust and perhaps something in the power department!.

Still have the Camry, bit hard to part with the old girl, so she is semi retired now :P

Cheers, Mitchell

that red looks really nice ! Congrats on the new toy !

[mbruce]

Thanks Jeff! Never said I was going to part out the Camry, besides it wouldn't be worth the hassle, especially since i don't have any of the stock parts.

Congrats on the tasteful mods and super cleanliness of the car.. Very tidy..

Like you I have just picked up a spare wheel and in the process of ordering the raised rubber liner ,lock bolt/plate. Have you bought these too? Reasonably cheap but the other mat which sits under the rubber one is way too pricey. have you bought it or cut the original ? Or just haven't bothered?

[mbruce]

Thanks juvenile! :)

Yeah I brought the rubber liner, bold/plate and foam insert. I was going to cut the original mat, but decided not to worry as you don't see it, and doesn't really do anything under the rubber one anyway.

[juvenile]

OK cool, I was going to get the foam insert but it says it's a replacement for the removal of full size spare, does it fit in the rim?

[mbruce]

Yeah, it fits snugly inside the 17' rim, and just provides a little support to the mat if you place anything inside the "doughnut"

[juvenile]

Excellent, thanks for that, looking forward to seeing your new rims, oh and more pics....:)
