Hey everyone!

Even though we're an online store, we also take some holidays!

The customer service & sales will still be on limited operation throughout the holidays, however, the shipping department will be shut down from 27th of December to 5th of January. Every order placed during period of 27th of December to 5th of January may be delayed by up to an extra ~5 business days as most shops we deal with will be closed. On January 6th, when shops resume business, if your order has a longer production lead time than 5-10 business days, we will inform you and re-confirm order. Otherwise, we will ship within a time frame of 5-10 business days (from 6th of January) as usual.

Very sorry about that, hope it'll be alright for most of you!

In the meantime, take it easy, time to work on your car(s) and spend time with your loved ones!

We appreciate everyone's help in making this year one of our nicest years ever. We have big plans for 2025, stay tuned!

Happy Holidays~

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, some countries have put limitations on the most awesome shipping service in the world : Japan Post EMS (this also affects Japan Post Air Mail & ePacket).  We have used Japan Post EMS for the past 15+ years with success, pre-pandemic being a reliable 3-5 days shipping method. During and after pandemic, it’s safe to say the quality of service suffered and prices went up, but it was and is still the most cost effective way to ship “normal size” aerodynamic piece (big in volume, light in weight).

Most countries have a limit of around 150cm (longest size), which allows us to send most small aerodynamics pieces at a fraction of the cost of DHL or UPS.

Since 2023, some countries have restricted Japan Post dimensions to 105cm which means the prices shown on the website may be inaccurate for the following countries :

Australia

Argentina

Uruguay

United Arab Emirates

Oman

Saudi Arabia

Spain

Rwanda

As it’s impossible for our website to distinguish

Dear FT86 lovers, On April 1st 2020, Japan Post announced that they temporarily suspend shipping to countries heavily affected by Coronavirus (COVID-19).

We always took great care of our customers and this is really challenging times. We always aimed at providing the best possible service and we’re working every hours of the day to solve this problem one way or another.

***THIS DOES NOT AFFECT ORDERS SHIPPED VIA UPS (OVERSIZED)***

All of our oversized products such as aerodynamics and our heavier products such as wheels & coilovers can still be shipped worldwide! If you combine oversized & regular product, we can ship worldwide!

***UPDATED NOVEMBER 5TH 2022***

What are we doing to solve this problem ?

We are now shipping to all countries with the COVID-19 restriction via DHL or UPS. The DHL and UPS services are extremely quick and usually reach the customer within 2-3 business day. If the country is not affected by the Japan Post suspension, we ship the same way as usual.

It's long due, but here's the blog post about our coverage of pretty much all Toyota 86 & Subaru BRZ from Tokyo Auto Salon 2019 (TAS2019).

There are A LOT of photos so... enjoy!

86 Future Sport (Sano Design)

This 86 is out-Supra-ing the Supra itself! It’s rocking some 18x9.5 Rays TE-037 and has a 3S-GTE engine under the hood! It’s got a very sleek wide body kit and shows how wild aerodynamics can get!

326POWER

The 86 from 326POWER was rocking their Yabaking Wheels and their newly released 86 Kouki Aerodynamics. Please contact us if you’d like to get a quote for these parts~

Varis

Varis showed up at the show with its Kamikaze Kit! It’s super wide and meant for racing. It’s not something we’d suggest for street… but man, it’s awesome!

As you can see, it’s all Carbon Fiber!

It was rocking some Advan TC-4 Wheels which are pretty aggressive looking!

HKS

HKS had quite a sober 86 for 2019. It was very clean looking and had something pretty awesome under the hood!

Kansai Service

This is our first post about the coverage we did on the FT86s at Tokyo Auto Salon 2017. This first part is focused on the second generation 86 (2016/2017 facelift/Kouki). The next posts will be about the first generation, but I’m sure you’ll also enjoy seeing the progress on the newly designed car.

Here are the tuners that made some awesome modifications on their Kouki’s:

Blitz

Blitz came up with a pretty cool adaptation of their existing widebody to make it fit the facelifted 86. The front bumper is insanely aggressive and so is the fenfer flares. They also decided to add a carbon fiber front splitter on top of that. It looks pretty nice with the stock rear spoiler, too. It’s also rocking the Enkei RS05RR Wheels.

Varis

Varis always release high quality, aggressive and nice flowing aerodynamics. The Kouki 86 is no exception. The White/Red/Black design also gives the car a nice sporty look. We can see the car rocking Front Lip, Hood, Side Steps, Rear Diffuser, Trunk & Wing.

TRUST

During my first trip to Japan, after visiting D.Speed (blog post on this coming soon), the owner of the aforementioned shop informed me that on my way back, there was a shop I should visit if I like the new Toyota 86. I had never heard of Auto Factory, but decided to give it a go!

Auto Factory is basically a racing team who has close ties with Power Craft and Pro Composite (they also share many products). They are different companies, but I believe that R&D is a joint business. I arrived at the shop at around 9:00 PM, so please excuse the not-so-good quality of images.

The first thing you notice when you arrive at that shop is their legendary racing Toyota Levin rocking Weber carburetors and full wide body kit with SSR Mesh Wheels!

The shop itself is rather cool with some entertainment:

It also has a cool and classy waiting room:

They are pretty serious about racing, too!

And they also had some cool parts to take a look at:

But let’s not keep this blog post to their cool stuff that they

On a sunny day, I was driving back from Tokyo and saw a cool little K-Car parked on the side of the street. Back then (this is in 2014), it had the new Work CR-01 Wheels and I had to take a look at it!

Then, I saw a weird CIVIC (yeah it's a Civic) that had cool wheels on it:

And then I looked up and saw the WELD sign:

I drove away, but after some thought, I remembered that one of the nicest 86 I saw at Tokyo Auto Salon had a "WELD" logo on it. I decided to come back, just to make sure I did not miss anything.

Well, the U-turn was worth it. When I entered the shop, I saw this nice drift car on Work Wheels:

Then, I took a look at their tuning garage and their AWESOME 86 was sitting alone in the middle of it. Perfect to take pictures:
