Yeah, I'm not sure what happened with your wheel nuts, but bear in mind a nut normally done up to say 100nm will generally need 10 or 20nm more force to break it loose when removing as you need to overcome the initial friction etc.

You don't want to be using a torque wrench to undo anything, if you go past it's maximum loading you may put the calibration out.

Got mine as well. Cheers @rob275

Payment sent, er 'Clive'. Username in the comment field.

I'll take a set.

Tyres are off. Seems the GF's scales are tiny, so had to make do and balance one against my leg to stop it rolling off, but it came in at 6.4kg. They're caked in many years of brake dust. So hopefully come out roughly the same once cleaned up and powder coated. Shame I'll lose the stickers on the inside.

I'm not sure I bought them second hand with rubber. They are bloody light tho. Been wearing out the budget rubber that came on them over winter, going to take them off this week, as I got them pretty cheap as they all need a refurb (previous owner clearly couldn't park) so shall weigh them at the weekend once the tyres are off.

I'm on 17x8J 44 offset CE28. I am lowered, not sure by how much, never measured. Will need spacers if you want them flush. Probably more than 10mm on the rear. I have considered getting some, but feel adding all that unsprung weight defeats the point in going for lighter wheels. I'm also not certain anyone does proper bolt on hubcentric ones thin enough to not need loads of camber to tuck them back under.

I've just taken an Ark Grip off, will be popping it up for sale next couple of days. Sounded great, but was just too loud for me with a TD UEL manifold.

You can get to it here: Not the best photo, but pretty sure it was the pink wire. Can take a quick look at lunch.

The focal integrated replace the tweeters in the dash as well, so still two way.

Yeah, a few available. "Toyota universal android" seems to be the keywords to use when searching amazon / ebay / etc.

That looks like standard double din, you'd need a harness adapter, aerial adaptor and a fascia adaptor to fill the gaps in the dash.

I've got one as well, my radio reception is ok when I've used it, but tend to listen to music off the SD card. It won't pair with my bluetooth ODB adapter and am loathe to keep buying one until it will pair. They sell an own brand one but that doesn't appear to support auto power off and turning it on and off manually would get pretty old pretty fast. It's not as flexible as the Android 4.4 ones I've had in other units, I've not found a way to use xposed to properly switch the music app out with poweramp. These two issues are kind of making me want to switch to something else, but there's only a few available in the proper size to fit the dash, so if I do swap may end up going generic double din with an adapter.

Welcome. I've come over from a 350z as well, tho I kinda of ended up in an 86 by accident. Went to test drive one. "Just going to see what they're like to drive" I said. Returned home having agreed to pick it up the next weekend.

Yeah, I saw you post that up a few days after purchase. I did suspect when I bought it that it'd be a bit much, but I picked it up second hand for a decent price, so thought it was worth a punt. Have the supposed MOT passing Cobra front pipe, thought about a silenced decat, but as Ade discovered in his quest you can't fit a very big on in there. Seems a shame to chop up a perfectly good exhaust. Especially as I've not heard it from outside the car yet. Anyway, I feel we've derailed Mike's thread enough. I'll start up one somewhere more appropriate, been meaning to sort a build thread of some kind anyway.

That's what I was hoping. I suspect it'd be OK for many, but with the TD UEL (can't compare with any other setup) it's still quite boomy under 3k rpm, especially in the narrow streets round my way. It would be fine if I didn't daily it, but the loudness down low gets tiresome when on the commute, especially on the way out of town when it's still cold.

Fitted an Ark Grip a few week back, it does sound good, and I knew it would be loud. But had no idea when combined with your UEL mani, overpipe and a Cobra HFC that it would be set the neighbours car alarm off loud. This sounds more like what I'm looking for. Imagine I'll be in touch over the next week or so to get one ordered up.

How loud is the resonated cat back compared to, say, the Q300, Cobra and Milltek resonated options?

Ah, I've posted this on the wrong thread. Doh. Was supposed to be asking about the TD exhaust specifically.

Current owner is on here, the 86 wasn't his daily so ST's should be in decent condition still

86 Renault 5 1.0 94 Ford Fiesta 1.4, head gasket went, 1.1 engine bought and fitted for 80 quid (I was broke back then) 2000 Peugeot 306 HDI 2000 Honda Integra DC2 (UK spec, still own) 2004 Nissan 350Z 2000 Subaru Legacy Outback (£700 shed, 174k, still running) 2012 Toyota GT86 Looking for: Lexus IS300 Sport Cross to replace the Legacy

There was someone selling a carbon abflug style, I was speaking to him about it a couple of months back but went for a modelista. It may have been on the other side.

Is this the model that requires the MAF scaling to be adjusted once fitted or the AFR will get too lean? If so, do you know if it's safe to drive it to where it would be mapped? Or is it possibly to pull the scaling from your ECU?
