    I've signed up and applied to go on track for Japanese Sunday - I was accepted last year for Sushi Sunday until it got cancelled for weather purposes. Early start but always pretty good! Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

  7. I have one of these - its definitely not for those that want a sleeper. It's an awesome sound in person though Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

  9. For Sale: Invidia N1 catback exhaust and Apexi stainless steel exhaust under panel I have for sale my old Invidia N1 catback exhaust, was on the car for around 2 years so I think it has done around 20k miles. Fairly loud exhaust as straight-through mufflers. It has the donut gasket connection, so will fit with stock front pipe. Selling this as I wanted a larger bore exhaust when I went TD Turbo Stage 2 (and fancied single exit) - nothing wrong with the exhaust other than I wanted a change! It was the titanium tipped exhaust, however this faded so I sprayed the tips black to give it a more aggressive look; high temperature exhaust paint on it. I took it off the car in early September (to replace with my Greddy 3") and it has been sitting in my house since then. Given it a polish to clean it up and re-sprayed the tips. since taking it off. If not happy, someone could sand it down and re-spray fairly easily. The weld on the name badge did break, and I have repaired this with epoxy so it won't do it again; completely out of sight under the car anyway. Needs new gaskets (can get easily from Tuning Developments, ebay etc), will have the bolts included (full disclosure: one or two are slightly tough to do up due to surface rust, however they still work with a bit of 'elbow grease'). Apexi stainless steel exhaust under panel Bought this from ft86speedfactory.com for around $350 inc shipping - originally designed for the Apexi N1 exhaust, I have modified slightly so that this fits the Invidia N1 without touching the exhaust. Creates a smoother airflow by plugging the gap between the exhausts cans and the rear bumper, covering the large empty space and removing that parachute effect. Does make rear end feel more planted after exhaust change. See my build thread for pics. Again I painted it black so it was near invisible. Includes all of the fittings. http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/apexi-stainless-steel-exhaust-under-panel-for-n1-1902.html#.Whs2pY6Uce0 Won't fit 'single muffler' style exhausts. I cannot guarantee fitment on other exhausts. Looking for £400 for exhaust & Apexi panel together. Open to offers. Collect from Cheam (Surrey) or buyer pays for postage. Happy to answer any questions! Paul

    Hi all Finally managed to pull some pictures together, so thought I would start a thread on my 86. I've had it since October 2014 (year and a half-ish now), and hands down an awesome car. Told myself I wouldn't modify it for the first year, but that didn't really happen. Firstly I bought the TRD sound tube pack from ebay, shipped in from Japan (UK was out of stock at the time); swapped in the loud sound tube as I thought it would make the sound better and that I wouldn't therefore want more noise from exhaust straight away. Was okay, but was still lacking. The plan is that since this is my daily driver I have to modify within reason, thought I do still want to take this on a track at some point. Firstly, the sound tube lacking, I changed out the exhaust; lots of research later, (and telling myself I wouldn't change the manifold at any point soon) I bought the Invidia N1 and fitted this in my driveway. Awesome sound - loud, deep, though yes it did drone somewhat. Awesome quality for the price. What I found was that swapping the old exhaust out did upset the aerodynamics of the car - leaves a gaping great air pocket at the back of the car, and easily noticeable on the motorway. A kind of 'floaty' feeling. Looking around the ft86 forums etc, cam across the Apexi exhaust tray - basically bolts underneath the car and covers the void in between the exhaust cans. Looks pretty mean and is lightweight aluminium. Makes the car a lot more planted at higher speeds. Got a bit bored with the gear changes - used to drive a Type R, and it was a very nice gear change. Swapped out the gear shifter and shifter knob for the Kartboys short shifter and Mtec springs (from FT86SpeedFactory) as well as a WC Latheworks aluminium knob which weighs a lot more. Overall combination is great - full movement is only about 2 inches forward/back and the weight of the knob makes it effortless.

    Hopefully is a bit quieter as the turbo acts as a silencer Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

    Currently rear set belt points. Not comfortable with the angle they sit at as below recommended angle, so looking at options to change the angle they sit at (harness bar etc). Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

    Had it on for a couple of days, it does drone a bit at around 2k rpm. Nothing that bothers me. Motorway speeds it drones a bit less as its higher up the Rev band. Hopefully will drone less when sooted up, and remapped by Mike. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

    It's been a while since an update. Earlier in the year I took the car up to Mike at Tuning Developments for their Stage 1 Turbo Kit. Car now feels much more like it should - the TRQ and HP is fed in smoothly and consistently across the rev range from around 3k rpm, and just keeps building until redline. Plenty of gains above my full NA exhaust system! Obviously not subtle when you open the bonnet, but you can barely see the intercooler until you're up close. The screamer pipe perhaps not to all tastes, but personally I think sounds amazing. Since then I have managed to not spend much money on the car (crazy busy at work over the summer). I have noticed in the last month or so that the clutch appears to be slipping slightly in 6th, quite possibly a mix of more power, the miles I drive (and probably poor clutch use...!). My car is due for 50k service and MOT by end of September, therefore I am booked over the week of 23-28 September for this and a clutch change. Since Mike has the car it would be rude to not get the Stage 2 upgrade (which includes the clutch!) I might see some of you up there on the 23/30 September. When I was last up there, a thought that Mike/I had was that a larger diameter pipe could open up a few more HP than the <2.5 inch Invidia N1 catback (more me than Mike I expect). Going for Stage 2 I thought a wider bore exhaust therefore needed as a birthday present to myself, so this beauty arrived in the post from the US in the last week...Greddy Revolution RS single exit. The fabrication on this is just stunning - the welds are something else, I was really impressed. Some pictures on the car. And also including the blanking plate. Spoiler looks massive as a result of the angle. Honest. A comparison of the muffler against the Invidia N1. Quieter at idle. Bit louder when driving (its 3"), but it sounds...cleaner...being a single exit; I put it down to there not being a second exit. Not got any videos yet, but may have time to arrange over the weekend.

    Invidia N1 - legal

    Will this annoy my neighbours on cold start. I know the gt86 has a high Rev for cold start? Its a 'deep' loud sound on cold start. If you ever change the headers with an N1 installed, definitely get the cold start mapped out as it becomes almost embarrassingly loud.... Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

    Invidia N1 - legal

    I have the Invidia N1 - awesome sound, quite loud and can drone a bit on motorway (manageable though). Will pass MOT if you keep stock header and front pipe.

  23. Hi all Following my TD turbo install this year, I have a few items for sale. Treat yourself on a bank holiday...? Both items located in Cheam, Surrey - I work down in Gatwick so can arrange a handover near there as well. 1) JDL UEL Manifold - ceramic coated https://jdlautodesign.net/shop/ft86-unequal-length-header/ Purchased from the states around 18 months ago done about 15k miles. Had it black ceramic coated as well - keeps the pipe temps down, therefore lower engine bay temps. Great subaru rumble sound due to style, when I had it tuned it by Mark at Abbey it removed a large amount of the torque dip (though not entirely) and gave good top end results (estimated 218-220bhp). Pics below (orange in pictures is not rust, just leftover orange colour from the sealant I have removed) - currently new prices are around £750 + international posting (a lot!), I'm looking for £500 collected. 2) JDL Utra Quiet Front Pipe https://jdlautodesign.net/shop/ft86-ultra-quiet-front-pipe/ Contains 200 CEL cat and resonator - helps to remove some rasp when having open headers. Slight dent on pipe (think I touched a speed bump), doesn't affect performance. 200 CEL easily passed my last MOT. Currently retails for c.£325 + international posting, looking for £225 collected. Happy to answer questions. Will also have Invidia N1 for sale at some point when I upgrade to 3" exhaust. Paul

    I'll have a dig around on my other computer - changed phones in last 6 months, so had to transfer files. Paul I have some videos where I tried to find an exhaust rattle on my YouTube that are in car (might have been windows down?) and some in my work car park, but no drivebys, sorry. https://www.youtube.com/user/archerofdecadence Try youtubing these - they're very close to how mine sounded, but it had a bit less rasp.
