Anyone else have their eye on the FT86?

If you were adding options later it would, off the dealer floor it wouldn't.

I think the TRD model could be a grey area, given that Toyota are modding it in NZ, technically it hasn't come from factory in its as sold guise. Really its no different to you buying any car new, and having the dealer fit the parts for you before its delivered to you, and I thought that meant it needed a cert?

It is being sold as a totally different model though....would be interesting to get clarification on that,

Have owned a TTE IS200 before and like the TRD 86 it had TTE Coilovers, TTE Swaybars, and TTE Brake upgrades including lines and it had to be certified when it was registered.

AFAIK anything with Coil overs and braided lines needs to be certified.

Cant think of many OEM cars that have factory adjustable coil overs other than a couple of hard core Lotus.

Braided lines never need certification. Check latest VIRM amendment and the LVVA site

Really? Cool! I was under the impression they did have to be certed. Is that a recent thing?

Previously it was stated they had to have certain standards on them. However I can't find that reference anymore. It just says they never have to be certed. It not they specifically say stainless steel braided lines

Grrrrrrr! · Post by **Grrrrrrr!** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 6:28 pm

Braided lines do not require certification, but must be made to an approved standard (listed in table 8-1-4 in the VIRM) and you must be able to prove they were made to this standard. (Most manufacturers now put tags with FMVSS106 on their braided lines to make this easy).

Otherwise you need to retain the packaging to prove they were made to meet a relevant standard.
Any braided line with bolt together fittings = instant fail.

edit: table 8-1-4 is only referred to in the heavy vehicle section, so maybe they changed the rules again...

Asked oldschool.co.nz's tame cert guy about this, seems that's not the case.

I wrote:Do TRD (Toyota Racing Development) parts sold/fitted to a new car by a toyota dealer count as factory option parts? ie: if you optioned your new GT86 with TRD height adjustable coilovers would it need certification?

cert guy wrote:trd stuffs= would need cert even if fitted at the dealer. ive done heaps of estimas/boring cars with electric swing out seats, these are fitted by a toyota company (TECS) and are sold new from toyota dealers like that, but because they werent actually made by toyota they need certing. same with some nissans, those rb26 powered stageas, some pulsar 4x4s fitted with sr20s, all done by a company called Autech

Also a customer at work has an RUF, which had to be certified as if it was a modified Porsche 911, even though they are built from new bare shells and have full TUV approval in Germany.

Totally off-topic but it's got an H-pattern 5-speed box but with an automatically operated clutch - so only 2 pedals, buzzy shit, especially for the early 90's!

Just read this on the 86 FB page

So guess they'll all be certified by TNZ before being sold.

I believe that the first TRD86 that has just been built was off to get certified according to their comments in this album:

Let me annoy you all because I can.
I'm in about my 50th day of 86 driving pleasure with just over 2500km done. Aiming for huge drive this weekend to clock up another 1200km.
Damn I hate doing this.
