Toyota GT86 D-S4

I'm 24 from Manchester and work in adult social care! Like to take the occasional photo (@s.beadnell_photography)  I'm currently driving a pearl white Toyota GT86 D-4S (if we want to be specific!) It's factory-fitted with the naturally aspirated 2 litres Subaru Boxer engine.

Mods:

• Wrapped orange gloss roof by @vinylgraphics_evanshalshaw after winning it in a Facebook giveaway!
• 40mm @eibach_world lowering springs which were kindly fitted for me by a fellow car buddy @f8ngy
• @remark_exhaust backbox/silencer delete with 4.5-inch tips. Fitted by a local garage
• Valenti rear lights which were already upgraded on the car at purchase.

Following mods fitted at home:

• @mishimoto performance air intake
• @maxtondesign front splitter with rod support 
• @gramsstyling BGW. 
• @japanracingwheels (JR18. 18x8.5 et35) covered with Uniroyal rainsport 3 tyres (225/40/18)
• @getnrg short hub and @kode_shop steering wheel custom painted white with gold spokes.
• @wearelikewise 'The Neil Diamond' gear knob in 'Tiffany and Hoe'
• Interior and engine bay bits sprayed in orange and teal with gold sparkle. 

Misc items;

• Side window louvres in gloss black.
• Rear bumper spats. 
• Carbon headlight surrounds. 
• Interior footwell lights.
• Private plate. 

I will try and attempt various things in my own car with the help of @orange_zmcgee. There's no better feeling than achieving something yourself - the only problem is you then don't want to stop and that's when things get expensive!

Previous cars:

Got my first car when I was 19 - my 1.4 Citroën C2. I loved it but quickly upgraded. That car introduced me to the car scene and I'm still friends with plenty of the C2 owners I met back then! I upgraded to a Mercedes A200 AMG Sport (no - not the one with the Renault engine!) I didn't really do much. Just fitted a carbon wing (not the A45 replica) and added some orange trim here and there. 

I bought a Mk2 MX5 California. These are a limited edition and hard to find now! This car introduced me to real modifications (intakes, coilovers, wheels, exhaust etc.) we attended a number of shows and I was at my happiest driving it! Sadly, going to work one day a white van decided to jump his filter and we crashed! The car was later sold to someone who will restore it and love it as I did! The 86 isn't yet finished but we've come a long way! I'm after some coilovers next. Some side skirts, upgraded headlights and to sort a few other visual modifications! Is a modified car ever really finished though..?

Since the first lockdown around April 2020, the car has gone through some changes, most noticeably around the front end! I've had the front bumper smoothed so that there are no more reg plate holes. I've offset the new square reg and purchased new, more aggressive-looking Vland headlights. I've also been lucky enough to start working with a few new companies including @carlock.co, @carlogneuk (code Ducky15) and @obsessedbrand.uk (code Ducky10). The world is in a weird place right now but I want to add that my inbox is always open for a chat or if anyone has any questions about the car, always happy to help!

@trueaddictionuk is my real car family. I've been with them from the start and I couldn't wish for a better set of friends! They can be found on Facebook and Instagram and at every major car show!

We have a store too so drop me a message if you want a discount! www.trueaddictionuk.co.uk

Thanks to @mirrorimagecarcare for making amazing car cleaning products which keep my car gleaming!

 A quick shout out to these groups who also have a great culture: @exclusivejdm @driftkingzcarclub and @extremebhp

Thanks to @24sevenphotography for one of the photos used! 

I mainly attend shows, major ones such as Japfest, Japshow, Modified Nationals, Fast Show, Trax (both of them), FittedUK and Ultimate Stance. Due to the location of most shows, me and @orange_zmcgee are usually up at 3 am getting ready to travel on show day!

My dream car, They're all Jap! A 1997 Nissan 180SX, or a 1995 Honda Nsx. However, I'd love a clean, rust-free MK1 MX5 California #BringBackPopUpLights!

Oh... And an RX7. Maybe I'm just being greedy now!
