I'm from Shizuoka in Japan. I am a Neurosurgeon for living. Back in 2012, there was no fascinating light-weight sports car. GT86, son of the AE86, was released in 2013. The NSX, Supra, Roadstar, Impreza and Civic were not yet released therefore, the GT86 was a first in the era.

AE86 was a legendary car in the past and in this instance, I assumed that the GT86 would be the next new star, I was not wrong. I went ahead and decided to purchase the GT86.

My passion and love for automobiles have come since my youthful days, especially from cars such as the Fairlady Z32, and the decorated trucks (as you would call them in Japan "Deko-Tra"). After owning a few cars, I took the decision upon myself to purchase the GT86 and I have customised and modified the car step by step. My followers continuously increased and so did my love for the GT86, I love it more and more each day! At this current date, it's been 8 years since she became mine! I do not regret it one bit...

The majority of my modifications have been undertaken by a professional service however, I did undertake many of the electronic customisations myself. Especially the DIY I undertook regarding the headlight from the Lexus RX, which is probably my best example. It is the only one in the world!!!! I have received numerous enquiries regarding the headlight. Check out my Instagram!

Work was undertaken by the following:-

Mechanic: Kazuhiro Fujimoto, c.s.POLSCHE, Yamanashi, Japan　

Exterior: Akinori Arai, Body Work's Hyoukoya, Shizuoka, Japan　

They're not cheap, but have confidence in what they do!

The Toyota GT86 is basically my first custom-built car. Yea, I know, I owned a Toyota Cardina and Mazda Atenza but never modified them! I did previously own a GT86 in the past, however, after installing a few modifications, the car went to scrap after a road traffic collision in just three months!

The very first car I owned was a Toyota Cardina.

I think all project car owners always have planned ahead or changes they want to make however, I am planning to install a new honeycomb-carbon hood, roof and trunk made by Marsh Composites. In the middle of all those plans, I am also planning to install new wheels and change the colour of the interior.

I do enter into competitions, I rather enjoy them. During these, I won numerous awards at the AF Festival and Legs Generation. I have plans to enter Clean Culture, Wekfest, Stancenation and many more. So don't forget to watch this space!

What is your dream car? The ultimate question of all times. I want to own a Maserati, the sound of owning one is very cool! On the other hand, I want to continue to customise sports cars!
