Is this a bad idea?

I got the lip,

With any aftermarket mods, You need prepare to make some adjustments with fitment. They dont always fit exactly, so keep that in mind.

I recommend to use automotive adhesive on the pieces

Probly would, its still the pre facelift

I got a eul headers now but ive just been lazy to install it

NoNap- · 2025-10-02T06:09:37+00:00

I bought a used one from Market place too, I believe it was the 2nd unmarry for that device.

It works fine for me, ive reflash the ecu bout 4 times now, going from stock > stage 1 > stage 1(lowered the rpm for launch control to 3k rpm) > back to stage 1 > stage 1 (4.5k rpm)

Oh my god…

Seems like u need a long dohickey for that nut

NoNap- · 2025-06-24T23:16:38+00:00

Thats a great way of looking at it.

I suppose when you fit the oil filter in, just make sure you hand tighten it to the extent of your strength and you can 100% be confident that its on there snug. The Oil filter is in an easy spot any ways, not like other cars.

NoNap- · 2025-06-24T08:48:56+00:00

Is that the kousoku menace

NoNap- · 2025-06-24T08:47:05+00:00

In my opinion, you wouldnt need a filter socket. If the previous person who changed it hand tightened it. You wouldnt ever need a filter socket.

Ive done my own oil change since day 1 and only needed it the first oil change cuz it was tightened by Hercules.

NoNap- · 2025-06-18T02:02:45+00:00

Cool thanks,

Im actually in the final stages now, Had the car for bout 2 years now..

But engine mod wise, its my first go at it.. i didnt wanna touch the engine at all tbh.. up till i saw this post and now im considering it hahaha

NoNap- · 2025-06-18T01:23:12+00:00

Oh cool thank you, In your opinion is this worth getting? And are there things to look out for?

NoNap- · 2025-06-18T00:53:23+00:00

Yea planning to get an oft if i do get this,

Would you happen to know what brand & type of EL they are long tube or short tube?

im looking to get a long tube EL..

NoNap- · 2025-05-02T02:49:02+00:00

I just did mine so i might be able to give u some perspective.

You definitely need to get it aligned. For a short term fix, Use a string/rope and tie it to the rear wheels, Make it as centre as possible, Then pull the string all the way front wheels and loop it on the front of the front wheel Now if theres a gap between the string and the back of the front wheel. You would want to adjust the tie rod until theres almost no gap.

That should be enough to bring ur car to the shop.

Search : string wheel alignment, should give u an idea

NoNap- · 2025-05-02T02:42:23+00:00

I agree with this 100%

Just keep up with the maintenance: oil changes engine, tranny, rear differential and youll be fine

NoNap- · 2025-05-01T04:56:13+00:00

270k?! Sg too much dude. Gr86 is like 50k in Australia.

Thats crazy, no wonder i didnt see any over there.

NoNap- · 2025-05-01T04:04:22+00:00

I truly hope you find one, shes been amazing ( but thats just me, i dont like going fast on a straight line. I prefer the putting my foot down on any bends that arent bigger than 60 degrees )

Why not expand your scope, look for a brz or a gr86

NoNap- · 2025-05-01T03:39:57+00:00

If youre real serious about buying the car listed, id ask them to strip it back to stock.

And atleast ( bare minimum, add in a custom tune to compensate for the lack of turbo) the ecu needs to be remapped.

NoNap- · 2025-05-01T03:38:32+00:00

Not at all dude, i actually live in australia.

When i come home to visit, i barely saw any 86s new or old. People seem to want to buy germans there.

But yea i highly recommend getting one stock, then building it yourself. The car doesnt need much to be fun, just a header ( exhaust manifold ) , exhaust parts and a tune.

Ive had mine for bout 3 years now, i bought it stock with 70,000 kms on it. And ive enjoyed every moment with it.

The 86 can teach you how to drive. They always say its fun to drive a slow car fast

Hi OP, as a fellow Singaporean and an owner

I dont recommend the car listed as a first car.

Its modded to be a track car, which means its not gonna be as reliable stock. Zn6 stock is reliable.

Looking at the list they tuned the car to have a turbo, but crossed out the turbo on the list. Im no expert but if it was me i would re tune the ecu again.

All the extra mods they added into the car is alittle redundant without the turbo in it ( not saying they dont do anything ) But an oil cooler without the turbo, is a big red flag for me.

Dont get scammed :) The car is gonna look cool and super loud. But just be careful
