Just wondered if I could have peoples opinion. I am currently looking into FI.. The car is my daily and I do 4-8 trackdays a year so it will need to standup to that kind of punishment. My track sessions are usually 15-25 mins before I return to the pit. I have mainly looked at TD turbo kit which is nicely priced but has not real track data as of yet but temp's all look decent especially if combined with an oil cooler kit and radiator. I have been looking at supercharging but must admit I have gotten a little lost. Just wondered what other people are running and how well they have been running on track session length etc.

Sounds good I will make sure I keep that date free.

There is a TD meet in April I may head down to and have a look round and see if anyone has a supercharger that they would not mind me getting a quick p-ride.

Good tip. I ran a gtr33 for a while and enjoyed some of the sounds not all. I thought the TD demo car sounded decent. However I do like a supercharger whine.

Not looking to break 280bhp. Just looking for some nice additional power. Some really useful information keep it coming... Things are becoming alot clearer. Under the hood aesthetics do not bother me in all honesty. Just avoiding heat soak and Im happy.

I also have the TD exhaust so I have met Mike and hes a good chap so would trust them to do work on the car so essentially I am sold on TD but just gathering more data at the mo. So as it stands for Cosworth more expensive but everything I have read has them as the flag bearer for FI at the mo.

At the moment the Cosworth edges it but my install would likely be July as im doing a Eurotrip in the GT in June and would not really modify it then go just encase of issues. So I can wait till July. TD is however very close based on a ride in one and price and great reviews so far. However for my use, abit of peace of mind would be a cherry and a already delicious looking cake.

Thanks for the info so far. Cosworth and TD appear to be top of my list then which is kinda of where I was but got lost down a rabbit hole. I have not seen any track data for the TD kit yet but my everything I have read it seems to be ok but at the moment Im edging towards the Cosworth just based on their testing methods.

I did have a ride in the TD car and was really impressed how linear it was. Those temperatures do seem pretty good. The install cost of TD's seem very reasonable, need to check on the cost of Harrop and Cosworth as from what reading ive done its 1-2k more.

Daily and 39k in still not bored. Its a rare thing for a car to do both. My Dc5's and DC2 where the same experience.

Good nights sleep the day before. Make sure to eat properly as its so easy to just run of the Adrenaline for the entire day and feel exhausted on the way home which might result in problems.

I am getting a tonk noise from the front left when I go over a bump, it does not happen all the time. It sometimes happens turning the wheel. Any ideas of what it could be or to check. Its standard suspension no changes at all. Not had time to have a look.. Noise has appeared past few days.

Well noise seems to have disappeared today. So as Church said might have been the spring bound for a period of time....

I guess drop links would be considered wear and tear. So would need sort this out of warranty.

850 for your first year is incredible.

I think the worse mistake people make is when they goto track in their daily and then begin trying to make it quicker for the 5 track days they do a year and it becomes uncomfortable for everything else. I have done this on a couple of my cars and ended up reigning myself in putting seats back in and removing harnesses and changing suspension.

Truly awful exhausts. Plus side the Tuning developments exhaust I now have on GT does not do this.

Had the cat back resonated installed today. Lovely bit of kit and sounds nice. Its louder than stock but not overly intrusive. I drove 2 hours on the way back and it did not drone or annoy me. Makes a nice strong noise and down shifting with some heel and toe is great.

I had the shifter springs installed today. Pleased with the result the shift feels tight and precise. I used to sometimes get the gear 'catch' 2nd to 3rd but now thats gone. Its one of those pleasingly cheap modifications that give you bang for your buck. I also went out for a ride in the demo turbo car most impressed with the delivery of the power very linear. If my insurance company would allow me and I'm sure me and Mike would have been discussing and install date .... Another turbo down there had a lovely hand stitched suede lining for their steering wheel which looked really nice.

I had a similar problem on my old Dc5 with the buddyclub4 exhaust. It was loudish but it was not the the noise that bothered me, it was certain revs it would create a weird vibration or something and I would get a headache and a weird taste in the back of my throat. I ditched the exhaust almost straight away. I have had loud exhausts before just something made me ill with that particular one. Sounds like something similar here.

Interesting thread. I had a shorter gear ration in the my old dc5 which made a big difference in the car although it messed up a few corners at Donnington. The new 2017 model has had its gear ratio adjusted does anyone know what that is? To compare with the 4.44 and 4.67 offering here.

Unlower it and put the standard exhaust back and change rocker cover before going to Toyota, but first of all have a look to see if anything is damaged you might have gotten lucky.
