long-gone

¡Hola! Dos cervezas. That's my Spanish exhausted. Welcome.

Just having a clear-out of some old files and came across this from way back when (2012): Road issue on GT86/BRZ It's not great, but I guess some won't have seen it before.

How much for the quilt cover?

Pretty much every invoice I've had for tyres has a standard disclaimer that wheel nuts must be checked after 50 miles or so. Not excusing OP's issue, just sayin'.

Hello and welcome. Can't be a lot of help comparison wise, as I've not tried the Kumho. But... the Yokohama are way better than the Primacy (obvs) and the GY Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 I had previously. FTR though, I had Nexen Winters a couple of years ago and they were pretty good and lasted well. Not much cop when it warms up though.

ebay link borked.

Collected yesterday. Hope you have better luck than I.

I don't suppose anyone can confirm it's a (relatively) simple matter of switching a cable or two to switch the tail and brake lights on these?

As you track and compete yours, it may be worth checking volume too.

Yarp.

Mine's just breezed through MOT with Mike's UEL manifold and AVO TurboWorld 2.1/2" cat-back so definitely no issues there. It's fecking loud though - doubt it would pass sound check at most UK circuits as-is. Having an extra box inserted in a couple of weeks.

That was the deciding factor for me*. I wanted a BRZ but no stealers within 40 miles and three Toyota within 5. * Except for the colour issue, obv.

Yes, but did you die in a ball of badly steered flame?

Pretty sure it's not the ECU.

Just re-read it as the figures still seemed to cock - I'd missed the bit about RHD. My bad. Apols.

So that's 44 in the rest of Europe?

They're on ebay if you want one. For a tenner plus postage I've ordered one for giggles.

Nothing important, but how did this poster get 10 points with one post and no activity?

Further to my post here: CLICK - job's a good'n. Mike and co at Tuning Developments has done a sterling job, despite time consuming complications. Not sure what the problem was exactly, but they were working on it until gone 9 o'clock on Saturday night and again Sunday morning 'til lunchtime. I'm pretty sure I'm not their favourite customer right now. Anyway, the work. 50,000 mile interim service couple of gaskets on blowing exhaust swap front & rear tyres install Bilstein B14 suspension kit UEL manifold fit & map It's the first time I've used Tuning Developments and very happy with service and all aspects of communication. Mike explains everything very clearly so even those of us hard of thinking can understand. Not greedy either, as he could've pushed me into the over pipe but said that as I have no plans to go FI I'd probably not see the benefit, so that saved me a few bob. Once I get back to the office I'll scan the chart, but for the moment, just be assured that the infamous torque dip has been eliminated. Not just in black and white on the chart, but according to my arse/seat dyno too. It's not been miraculously transformed into a rocket ship, but it feels like it. A bit. Mainly because it's so feckin' loud! Seriously. When I first heard it I didn't appreciate quite how loud it is - I just grinned like a kid. It has a very Subaru, off-beat, four banger, boxer burble which barks like a NASCAR on full chat. I suspect it's the AVO TurboWorld 2.1/2" cat-back combined with the TD UEL headers that's responsible. Others with stock exhaust don't seem nearly as loud. It's all a bit ASBO for my liking so am investigating how to reduce the volume a little for those early morning starts and my neighbours' peace of mind. Extremely happy with the coilovers so far. Nice one nicebiscuit. I think the ride is slightly firmer than OEM, but the damping over rough surfaces is leagues ahead. Grip and cornering is also much improved. Aesthetically, not sure by how much it's lowered the car, but the wheel arch gap is reduced a little so guessing maybe 3cm(ish). Oh yes, Mike (the b*st*rd ) took me for a spin in their turbo charged car. It's a very nice implementation - not savage like some of them, but a steady surge of increased power and torque. One thing that's hilarious is the 'screamer pipe' I think he called it. It's brilliant! One day, I will go for one of the FI mods, but not today.

Heh. I had to google to even find out what they are.

Some may find this video of interest: How Shocks Work (part of a very interesting series if you're a saddo-nerdy-geek like me). I've noticed many topics comparing supposed merits of various aftermarket systems from budget, to mid-range to high-end, but apart from subjective 'feel' very little about actual measured performance. Is there anyone in the UK to offer such a service or advice?

That's bad luck. Hope you get it back to 'good as new' soon.
