Bagged & Boosted
Type into Google ’Modified Toyota 86’ and 90% of the images that come back are widebody. It feels almost impossible these days to find a clean example of a stanced 86 that’s not been cut up with some riveted-on flares. Having no desire to go down that path, Jasper’s 86 is one of the rare examples that’s nailing the stock body look but it doesn’t just end with good fitment and some nice wheels with his tastefully built car. Jasper has built his car by himself, aside from the paint. He put the 86 on air suspension and boosted it, which he considers the biggest mods on the car. He describes the turbo kit as, “The best mod I’ve done to the 86 by far. It has completely changed the car. The car was boring to drive and I was getting sick of the lack of power.” The 86 also has aftermarket suspension arms (to fit the Meisters) and an aero kit. Jasper’s driving force behind wanting to modify his 86 was the 2019 Status show. Seeing all of the coolest cars in one event was amazing, and motivated him to build a show-quality car of his own.
Where did the interest in cars come from before all of that though? His Dad always having an interest in cars was a big contributor to his own interest. His first car was a Holden VT Berlina which his Dad bought for him for only $300. He did some basic P plate mods like lowering springs, subwoofer, and some HSV wheels. After that, he bought an FG XR6 and fell in love with the stance scene, putting it on coilovers and a set of SSR SP1 wheels. But he felt like he wanted to do more, and the XR6 didn’t have the aftermarket support he was looking for. So, he set his sights on a car that had the support, was manual, and still P plate legal to drive. That car was the Toyota 86. He was also looking at S15s because at the time they were still in the budget. The only issue was that it wasn’t P-plate legal. Looking back though he says, “I probably should have bought an S15.”
Although Jasper has no desire to go down the widebody path, he does plan to remove most of the camber in the future and aim for a more “track” style car. He also plans to install aftermarket seats and a half cage. If he were to sell his 86, he would be looking for a JZX100 or an S15 as a replacement.
He gives thanks to, “my beautiful girlfriend Xanthe for always supporting me with what I’m doing. Also, all the boys that have come and sunk cans and watched me get angry at my car, you all know who you are.”
His advice to anyone looking to modify their car is to spend the money the first time and not cheap out. You always end up buying twice. He also advises against building a car just to impress others, as you will only end up hating the car because it’s not what you want.
