  1. speak to @Mike@TD.co.uk He posted up in their sub forum on here that they are doing a cracking deal on a showroom displayed manifold they have left over as part of their tuning package. From just having it fitted myself I can highly recommend it. Combined it with my stock exhaust so it is quite and just a change in tone. However they do a super resonated exhaust which is very quite also if you want to go aftermarket.

    OZ Superturismo 18x8J ET35

    Any idea what the weight of these are? Also did you ever fit them to your car? Just wondered how they looked on the 86

    Wanted - cobra res cat back

    Chap Called Terry local to me has one that he offered to me. Although I am not in a position to make a decision on it yet until I have my manifold on. He may still have it available for sale though. Cant think what his user name is on here though @Leevsfortyone or @nikndel may know though

    Life after 5 year old

    Toyota are crazy expensive for brake discs and pads and fitting! I purchased pagid discs from eurocarparts and a set of rear pads. Then got an upgraded front set of pads from Partbox on here (preformance friction Z) £200 or just under and self fitted. Or a local garage would charge a couple of hours labour. So including labour plus new fluid if you wanted to save yourself the hassle I would Expect a drive in and out service from an independent to be about £400 :-)

    New Wheels

    Should be fine. Just get the alignment check as soon as you have the coilovers setup and go from there :-) Thinking konig dekagram as flow formed so light and strong and come in 17x8 Just awaiting a UK stockist to give me a firm quote as it's new out and no one's has stock yet. Need to decide asap as my 18s could do with new tyres.

    New Wheels

    If only lowering 20mm you wouldn't really need to adjust the rear camber. I am lowered 20mm and my rear naturally gained -1degree negative camber from lowering which matches my front setup and drives spot on. Good choice on wheels by the way :-)

    New Wheels

    I run rota pwr in 18x8.5 which are 10kg with 225/40 tyres. Can notice a difference between the stock wheels when I switch them back over and immediately drive them back to back. Not massively detrimental though. Makes the steering a bit heavier too. I prefer this feeling on track and hard driving but do keep thinking about downsizing to a set of light weight 17's.....

    Exhaust, decat and wheels

    Hello mate been wondering how these wheels would look on a GT86 for ages so nice to see a set. Any idea of the width and offset of them? Would you consider postage at all as I am the wrong end of the country Many thanks Gavin

    Essex Crew Summer Mid Week Meet Part 2

    Good work gentleman! Good to meet more new faces and thanks Lee for organising
  14. Andrew do you run an oil cooler? FI generally runs a fair bit hotter then NA though. So always safe to keep an eye on it. I did a 35 degree day at snetterton in my NA car and I was been particularly careful to keeps the stints short as I do not yet have an oil temp gauge to keep an eye on.
  15. Glad to hear you are happy with it. Will catch up with you at Castle coombe in September. Very interesting to hear how it goes on track

We are going on holiday and I have sweet talked my way into getting this done on route to the north from Essex I return I have booked a hotel in Warrington to break up the drive and have promised something to do and a nice meal out.
