Terry and his best friend Jack have worked tirelessly on the transformation of Terry’s modified Toyota GT86. We first saw Terry’s GT86 up-close when he attended our ‘Customer Car Day 2017’ event. It was sporting an almost pearlescent exterior, with carbon fibre parts and many mods. It impressed us then, but to say it impresses us now is an understatement!

The car has notably changed since our event last year. As you can see for yourself from the ‘after’ picture taken at this years ‘Customer Car Day 2018’ event, the current paintwork and body kit gives the car a whole new look. It’s a look which denotes strength and robustness. Its muscular exterior is enough to warn off its competitors, without any power necessary.

Let’s find out what Terry thinks about the transformation, and find out how he did all the work…

Modified Toyota GT86: Explained…

In Terry’s own words: “The favourite thing about my car is working on it. I have done all the modifications myself (and with my friend, Jack) apart from the ecu remap. Other than that, I just love the way it looks and drives.

I prefer the look now as it’s more aggressive. The red wrap just finished the look off for me! In the future I plan to forge the engine, so I can get more power out of it. Am hoping to get around 500-550 whp when it’s finally all finished. Maybe I’ll get some new 3-piece wheels to finish off the overall look of the car too”.
