TOYOTA GR86 D-4S 2023 // ELECTRIC BLUE
19,500miles
Location: Huddersfield
Price: £34,595
----------------------------------------------
Engine:
- Tuning Developments equal length manifold.
- Tuning Developments over-pipe.
- Tuning Developments front-pipe.
- HKS High Power Spec L II.
- MST intake
- Tuning Developments EcuTek remap (250bhp / 218FtLb)
The above bits totally transform the driveability and sound of the car.
Yes, it’s noticeably quicker, but most importantly, the hair-trigger throttle sensitivity of the standard car is replaced by a smooth and linear power delivery with a throttle pedal that’s proportionate and easy to modulate.
----------------------------------------------
Chassis:
- Öhlins DVF coilovers
- Pedders front top-mounts.
- OEM rear top-mounts.
- Fensport front camber bolts
- SuperPro rear lower control arms.
- Powerflex differential bush inserts.
- Powerflex gearbox bush Insert.
- Compomotive TH1781 wheels (17” x 8” – ET35).
- Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 tyres.
- AP Racing CP2900 front calipers.
- AP Racing front discs.
- OEM rear discs.
- Ferodo DS2500 pads (front & rear).
- Braided brakes lines.
- DOT 5.1 brake fluid.
- GT3 front brake ducts.
The standard suspension is good, but I found it quite busy and stiff at all speeds. The Öhlins offer a slightly more comfortable ride quality at slow speeds, but once at b-road pace, they really come into their own with a plushness and composure the OEM setup could only dream of.
The geometry has been done properly by ATEC Align to a “fast-road” spec. So, nice and sharp but most importantly; predictable and friendly.
Ride height is only around a 25mm reduction, so no issues with clearance over speed bumps or bumpy roads.
----------------------------------------------
Interior:
- MTEC Shifter Springs.
- MTEC Clutch Pedal Spring.
- Recaro Pole Position (not for sale).
The MTEC bits give a precise and mechanical throw to the gear-shift, and the clutch pedal now has feel and accuracy. Only a minor couple of modifications, but a big improvement to the main touch points of a manual car.
Unfortunately the Recaro Pole Position is not for sale. The standard seat will be going back in.
----------------------------------------------
Miscellaneous:
- Professional Lanogaurd treatment when new (literally drove it from the dealership to the application centre).
- When the car was at Tuning Developments I asked them to pull the sump off, check and clear out any sealant that might have been in the oil pickup (this is a “thing” if the internet is to be believed). Pleasingly there was nothing to report.
- First 3 services carried out at Toyota (poor service, overpriced and zero expertise). Most recent service done at Tuning Developments (these guys know what they’re doing).
- Boot lid wrapped in matt-black vinyl.
- All standard parts retained and included in sale.
- Private plate not included in the sale.

So, after all that why am I selling? Purely because I like a project and love cars. Too many choices out there to stick with one for too long.
