I am guilty as charged of going for the JBL upgrade 3 years ago....
-
Sorry to hear the bad news, glad you are pushing on as your project has been one to watch for me while make my own changes. Hopefully HKS come through as I have also purchased quite a bit of their kit so far.
-
Count me in as I am not too far away and it would be good to finally meet some us in the flesh.
-
Same here I have the cat less HKS manifold with the Berk HFC.... Love the benefits now stressed about the MOT in August.
-
Love the silver look Ross, I have gone for silver and the same size 18x8.5. I won't be fitting them until mid Feb at Fensport with some coilovers to get that gap down but remain functional (something I will look at Adrian to help with). i have gone slightly wider at 235 as I have made some internal mods for power gains. Impressed you made the jump to a Jap car I have friends on both sides of the 'fence' 😊 Happy New Year
-
Ha ha it's all about the stealth look with the few right mods!
-
@Twigman I have a grey GT86 too and felt the black highlighted/broke up the wheels as there was the possibility of too much silver. Cant wait for Adrian to sort the wheels and rest in Feb!
-
Welcome to the club mate, hope you have plenty of fun in the new purchase, shame you didn't get a grey/silver one, you would have joined the 'special' few! 😉
-
Afraid not thanks to your inspiration and help from the guys at Nengun! They are even more beautiful in the flesh along with the black caps and black tws valves. They are so light, at least you were the first
-
Hi Lauren, That does help reassure me! There are just so many kits for our GT's and 50K miles definitely provides evidence that this set works I have tried to keep as many of my mods from the land of the rising sun(at least the major one), bar one emergency front pipe from Berk and the Fidanza fly wheel. Cheers

Lovely car! Love it in silver only reservations would be the fact that I am a Japcar fan and it might be a tad big for the UK.
-
Thanks for the feedback, hope its nothing serious with the car as for the implants, they definitely not on the mod plan! Just pushed the button on some hood struts, this car mod game is an addictive financial drain! Having to keep these things under the radar from the Mrs!

Wheels have arrived , but unfortunately I do not have a slot until the 15th of Feb at Fensport, slight change of plan I will be fitting the Tein Flex A kit now unless some thinks I should not. I am also looking at the Mishimoto Silicon Induction Hose, does anyone have any experience with it and also would you recommend something else instead?

Hmm my Dealership is Beadles in Medway, They took it in the first time overnight but did not find a problem just the battery had run-down but was fine. The nearest other dealerships are either Motorline Ashford or Jemca Sidcup, I will call Jemca as I believe Motorline are not the best.

Hi All, I have had the GT for 3 years now and in the last 6 months it has failed to start. I use it as my daily driver so do not understand why the battery has run its self down with no warning. The dealership have stated that the battery is fine so they will not change it under warranty and do not even acknowledge the existence of the new 65ah battery. Does any one have advice? I called Toyota direct and they were not really help just suggested I try another dealership. Should I just replace it myself and if so what would anyone recommend?
-
Hi Guys, I got the tag calibre 17 as it was great piece and matched the GT86's stitching.
-
I have sensors fitted and I have never had this issue. Always a problem to find an intermittent fault... 😟 Has to be an installation fault
-
Hi All, I'm would like to test the HKS V2 Supercharger :)
-
Congrats! Definitely a buy you will not regret!
-
Cheers, I'll give this a whirl!
-
Hi All, I want to clean my engine bay up and I have never done anything like this before so wanted to know if anyone had tips or a guide? There are also a few spots of rust, is there something I can use to clean these spots up and protect? Thanks
-
@nikndel- That is my big fear too, I have bought the Autoglym engine and machine cleaner, but not sure on the best approach. @Mark-in-Stoke I'll have a look at this ACF 50, cheers
-
Very nice, really liking the wheels!
-
Thanks everyone I guess I will go with 235's for now and see how it goes. I want the extra grip but I do not want to lose the cars handling qualities. I will update you on this closer to the time, which probably be in the New Year as my wheels will turn up at Christmas! I'm also opting for the black caps and black aluminium valves. To this I will be adding the Tein Flex Z coilovers and Cusco front strut with master cylinder brace.

Car looks amazing, to date I have been focusesd on performance but I agree the efforts to bring your own uniqueness are just as much an important part of buying into GT86 ethos.
