IM REBUILDING THE CRAZIEST GT86/BRZ/FRS

The video follows Mat Armstrong as he continues the ambitious rebuild of a wrecked Toyota GT86, aiming to turn it into a track and drift-focused machine. After transferring the car to Colour Craft for priming and minor touch-ups, the team explains that paint won't be used because the car is meant to be wrapped and potentially damaged in future sessions, enabling easier re-wrapping. The GT86 receives a Rocket Bunny wide-body kit, which required significant bodywork corrections including cutting rear quarters and welding in new panels; Colour Craft handles the repairs and anti-rust treatment to prep the shell for the wrap. A major portion of the episode centers on sourcing and mounting wheels from WheelMania, with the choice of custom spacers to convert from Japanese to BMW fitment, a tactic that preserves track-day versatility. Alongside wheels, the episode showcases a rear jacking bar replacement and the installation of a budget cat-back exhaust from Malian, chosen for its price-to-tone ratio rather than ultimate performance, followed by a before-and-after sound test. The video also includes a callout to Squarespace as a sponsor, highlighting how it helps build and grow online stores and websites for creators. By the end of the segment, the GT86 has a dramatically different stance and sound, and viewers are invited to share their opinions on the progress and next steps, including potential power upgrades in future episodes.
