I see apex over at the nurburgring have killed their gr yaris 😬 No fault of the car, I belive someone did the old trick of going for 4th but finding 2nd the day before 😵

Had these on my car and was very happy with them. Only moved on to coilovers as I was doing more track work and needed more adjustment. Give I nice little drop that suits the car well and doesn't need any other parts or compromise the ride. They were on my car for about 7000 miles and are in good condition with only a couple of spots of surface rust. £80 ono collected from ss14 in Essex Have pictures showing the ride height on oem wheels and 18's if that helps Thanks Gsvin

Yes I dedicated my lunch break earlier in the week to listening to that collecting cars one.

Was that review posted above the Clarkson one? Seems to be written in his kind of style. Also I see Chris Harris has caused some online fallout with his comments regarding a social media person and a GR Yaris.

TD exhaust is a great bit of kit and there are 3 versions to choose from to get your desired volume. If you are local to TD I think they have one version fitted to their demo car so would be a good way to hear it in person. The N1 is VERY loud. Plus if you fit a manifold in the future it gets even louder. Local member to us has one and you can literally hear him coming from miles away

As with any tuning modification on an NA engine it is expensive for a little gain. Changes the power delivery and makes it much easier to drive which I like. Does it feel faster, not really. Would I do it again, probably as it does make for a nicer drive. I assume from your other comments you may have had a turbo car before. You will never get the cost vs performance gains you get with those cars with these unfortunately.

For tall people like me the best thing they have done is develop lower seat rails. I would certainly be buying a set of those!

I am sure someone with one will be able to offer some feedback. I got so confused with which manifolds were better then others in the end I just went with a complete package. When I was looking there wasn't a 2nd hand manifold available so the price of hand picking new parts vs the TD package was less. So I went for the drive up north and found myself a cheap hotel and let mike work his magic.

I think most of these points were covered in the other topic. But for emissions you will lose one cat from the manifold but retain the under car cat. I have this same setup on my car with the Tuning developments manifold. It will fail an MOT if they test it cold. But if you take it for a hard drive before had to get it nice and hot it will pass fine. I have done this for the last 3 years without issue with a very picky MOT station.

Certainly possible to get a cheaper price then the Tuning Developments package with second hand parts etc. Would be worth contacting the likes of Abbey directly for advice though. In the end I just went with the tuning developments package as it was drive in and drive out and I knew all the parts were hand picked to give a good proven package. Certainly wouldnt be attempting to map a car myself though unless I knew exactly what I was doing. Gets very expensive if you get it wrong!

I do agree with that point they seem to have a good backing plate and seem well finished. I have to file loads off the PFC pads I had to get them to fit comfortable and as you say these slot straight in. Kind of tempted to just order the complete kit from Reyland with these just to get me started. Its only the fact I didn't like the feel of them in the OEM 86 callipers that is putting me off.

Great set of coil overs for the GT86. @will300 is a great seller too, I bought a set of flex A coil overs from him in the past and they are still going strong. These ones are even freshly serviced, what's not to like

Me neither, very interesting and well done article.

Some good info, confirms my hunch that I should avoid the DS2500 that comes as standard and spec something else.
