Wheels, taillights, and emblems were blacked out

Never fitted with fancy aero, the all-black Toyota “86” was spotted in the ladies’ owner area at the Gunma SONIC held at G-Messe Gunma on July 6, 2024. We hit the 86 owner with a calm black body, gun metallic wheels, and smoked rear tail with all emblems blacked out.

The manual 86 GT Limited was purchased to drive on mountain passes

Moa’s 86 GT Limited looks like a very rigid customization, but when we asked her about it, we learned that the owner, Moa, is the mother of two children, and on the day of the event, she was driving this car with her family of four. She entered this car with her family of four on the day of the event.

“I have always liked the 86, but at first my husband drove an 86, and that influenced me to buy this 2021 GT Limited. I originally had a limited AT license, but for this car, I lifted the limit so I could drive a manual car.”

Then her husband’s 86 was scrapped in an accident, and this all-black and manual 86 GT Limited became the family car.

The simple appearance of the car shines through in the choice of parts

The black body is fitted with a TRD lip on the front and a GT Limited-specific wing on the rear. The exterior is also quite simple, although side window louvers are installed. The simple style of the car stood out from the many flashy cars in the venue. The choice of smoked tails was also an eye-catching result.

“We use it as a family car, so we can’t put on too much fancy aero equipment, and we haven’t lowered the ride height that much either.

Blitz coilovers were installed for the suspension, and dark gunmetal-colored Raise Gram Lites 57 Extreme wheels were chosen. Both front and rear are fitted with 225/40R18 tires.

My dream is to use it as a family car for a while and then drive it on the mountain passes again

Moa has always loved driving on mountain passes. However, until she has finished raising her children, she does not have the time to spend on driving.

“My children are still small, so for the time being it will be the family car. But once I’ve settled down a bit more, I’d like to go out for longer drives. Currently, I have a TRD muffler, but I would like to change to a different muffler shortly, and I would like to take my time with the 86 in the future.

The child also loves the car, as he spends his daily life driving around in a manual transmission with a child seat in the car. He seemed to be enjoying the event as well.
