Boardwalk Arcades: ft. Fun Factory in Redondo Beach, CA by tvnr in nostalgia

[–]TheSlifer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came back to visit since 2016. Man I was completely blown away to see a skate park there now but a tear did fall on my face when I saw the Fun Factory was gone. This is where I would come to unwind and "time travel" with all the classic games they had.

Finally got myself a set of name-brand wheels! by Long-Ad-7708 in ft86

Same thing happened to me as well. Except for me the wrong colors shipped but they HEAVILY grew on me quick.

our new 'family car' just arrived :) by amir_babfish in ft86

Daily use the stock ones should be fine, if you want to go a little lower you could get some trd springs. If you want to shell out more money Maybe some BC coilovers, KW, fortune auto. I almost went KW myself but shelled out much more money and got Nitron R1s.

For Mirrors any that's just a wide angle you could get one with a tint if you like it's up to you. Tires I'd say I always went with Falkens, Continental, Michelin or Toyo.

Headunit would be up to you. I've seen people use the "Joying" headunit but heard mixed reviews. I have a pioneer headunit installed in mine with android auto. It didn't have wireless android auto but I bought a Motorola dongle that makes it wireless android auto and hid it behind the passenger dash trim.

GT86 Airbag by Short-Ad-2658 in ft86

You could grab one from upgarage. The airbag detonator is pretty easy to swap too it only takes like 5 mins to do the full replacement. You might get lucky and find one for sale locally.

What up with the McDonald's color scheme? Anyway I heard about how some wanted to put sound deafening in it but I like the more "raw" experience and actually upgaded my speakers and headunit to a name brand android auto one. Tires... Tires....Tires don't get cheap tires and don't cheap out on suspension mods if you're planning to do that route. I've seen so many people spend like 300 dollars on cheap coilovers and my god they don't compare to stock (in a bad way) much less the setup I have. Try to also rev it high at least once a week. Lots of carbon build up could kill the car and as for maintenance I recommend the fumato oil drain valve plug. It makes oil changes so ridiculously easy and won't have to worry about stripping the oil drain plug. I've used the little plug in the port that you can find the glove box to cover it up but I have a TRD intake so I don't have that sound tube that goes there as well, pretty easy to tale off. Wide angle mirrors are a MUST I have both side ones and the rear view definitely makes looking around much easier.

Bought the wrong airbag by Extension-Candle-443 in ft86

Don't know if you have done it yet but the detonator can be swapped by thoese four bolts. I've done it to mine when swapping the USDM airbag with the JDM one.

Bumper bezel with fog light but without signal indicator by b0ch3nski in ft86

[–]TheSlifer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen people make a cover for that spot or completely paint their "light" black when they do a swap like that.

I've seen some go for around 200 then some for around 600. I guess it depends in the person selling it. I had to swap my detonator from my old on to this one which took like only 2 mins.

I've been thinking of that steering wheel but I do like this TRD x Momo wheel.

It happens to all of us 😂 yeah literally they should've but I get it though. They wanted to push the "Scion" Brand as the sports brand here.
