The GR86 Journey: How a Father-Son Team Transformed a Stock Toyota into a Track-Ready Machine
The "Miyagi 86/BRZ Meeting" is where everyone from fully stock to tuned cars can gather. One person we saw at the event was Mr. Saito, who purchased a Toyota "GR86" because of its FR drivetrain, which is ideal for polishing driving techniques. He grew up with car-loving parents and had ordered parts for his car before he took delivery intending to drive it on the race circuit. We asked him to introduce his car, which he is very particular about.
The Rise of a 86: From Standard to Show-Stopping in Five Years
The Miyagi 86/BRZ Meeting, which will be held for the second time in May 2024, was started last year to create a place where owners can casually gather with other owners, regardless of whether they are fully stock or tuned. The inaugural event last year was quite successful with 50 cars, and this year 150 new and old 86/BRZs participated. Among these Tohoku-centric owners, we would like to introduce one of the Toyota 86s that caught our attention.

Art of Innovation: Creating a Unique Toyota 86 with Porsche Elements
Toyota's “86” is a horizontally opposed Porsche with the concept of customization. The wheels, suspension, muffler, and other parts of the 86 are different from the usual dress-up items, and show a strong sense of commitment to the car. There are plans to install a 6-cylinder engine in the future. We look forward to its evolution.
Commitment of Enthusiasts: Crafting the Ideal Ride in a GR86
Mr. Onozaki chose the GR86 as his base vehicle for drifting. He chose the GR86 as his base vehicle for drifting because there were not many people driving them around. Not wanting to be seen with anyone else is an important point when purchasing a car. I chose red as the body color because I thought there would be less chance of wearing the same color as others. The customization is also very serious.
Essence of Control: Optimizing a Toyota 86 for Circuit Joyrides
A wide variety of cars from different genres participated in a driving event held by TRIAL, a long-established tuning store in Osaka, at Okayama International Circuit in the spring of 2024. The red-bodied Toyota "86" has traveled about 45,000 km since Mr. Yamaji purchased it, but he only drives it to and from the race sessions and on the circuit. What kind of specifications does he enjoy driving on the circuit?
Quest for Originality: Subtle Changes for a Standout GR86
The cool GR86 we found at the "Miyagi 86/BRZ Meeting," where 150 cars gathered, had been lowered just enough and fitted with special wheels. The key point is the US-spec front grille. The casual customization sets it apart from its rivals.
Evolution of Excellence: Reviving the Volk Mesh Legacy
Sports cars from a generation ago are still very popular. I think it is partly because they are rare, but many people seem to prefer the design of the cars of the time. The same is true for wheels, and it seems that neo-classic design wheels are becoming popular among recent dress-up users. In this issue, we would like to introduce some of the new and noteworthy wheels from Volk Racing.
