James don't cut off your nose to spite your face, have a look and consider if its possible to inject post the charger, its the best place to do it. Would you mount an intercooler before a turbo/supercharger ? Alec

Teams The Fujiwaras Takumi and his Dad Akina Speedstars The Akina SpeedStars (秋名スピードスターズ, Akina Supidosutazu) is a team made up from a bunch of friends who like to race in their leisure time. Based in Gunma, their home course is Akina. Named after a Japanese brand of wheel, they are among the weakest teams in the series, not having proper training and using erroneous techniques. In manga version, it is called "Spirit" as seen on the sticker on Iketani's car. Akagi RedSuns (Stage 1) The Akagi RedSuns (赤城レッドサンズ, Akagi Reddosanzu) is a highly skilled team led by Ryosuke Takahashi. The RedSuns' team policy is not to race on their home course, because, according to Keisuke, they "can't get excited about it". Based in Gunma, their home course is Mt.Akagi. Myogi NightKids (Stage 1) The Myogi NightKids (妙義ナイトキッズ Myōgi Naitokizzu) is a team of average skill led by Takeshi Nakazato. Even though the team is united under Takeshi, there seems to be two factions fighting for leadership, aligned with Takeshi and the team's number two driver, Shingo Shoji. Based in Gunma, their home course is Myogi. Shingo and Takeshi both show aggressive driving styles, hence why both their races with Akina's Eight-Six ended in a crash. In Extra Stage, They were challening Usui's Impact Blue and have both lost a race. Impact Blue (Stage 1) Impact Blue (インパクトブルー Inpakuto Burū) is a partnership between its two members, Mako and Sayuki. Their home course is Usui. It is revealed that Impact Blue is disbanded in Extra Stage 2 due to Mako leaving for Tokyo to race there for a year. Emperor (Stage 2) Emperor (エンペラー Enperā) is a highly skilled team led by Kyoichi Sudo. The entire team is made of Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions, claiming their cars are the king of the mountains. Based in Tochigi, their home course is the one-way road of Irohazaka . Mitsuru Sudo is Kyoichi little brother and ask to be train by Takumi to drive in a two-way road and he became the best in Irohazaka but he lets Kyoichi the leader of Emperor. Seven Star Leaf (Stage 4) Seven Star Leaf (セブンスターリーフ Sebun Sutā Rīfu, "SSR") is an average skilled team, and the first team to face Project D in 4th Stage, there are previous Project D victories mentioned prior to the start of 4th Stage. Based in Tochigi, their home course is the Nichien-Momiji line. Like the Akina Speed Stars, they are named after the same Japanese wheel manufacturer (Speed Star Racing). Todo School (Stage 4) The Todo School (東堂塾 Tōdō Juku) is a racing school run by a performance shop owner/ex-rally driver named Todo. They are very highly skilled, with many of their graduates going semi-pro/professional. Interestingly, they prefer FWD cars, particularly Hondas, using the Civic Type R as their best "demonstration" car. Based in Yaita, Tochigi, their home course is the Enna Skyline or Happogahara. The Todo School exclusively use parts from Spoon Sports to modify their cars. Northen Saitama Alliance (Stage 4) The Northern Saitama Alliance (埼玉北西エリア連合チーム, Saitama Hokusei Eria Rengō Chīmu, lit. "Saitama Northwest Area Union Team") is a racing group made of teams located in the Saitama Prefecture. Included in this alliance, is the team that Nobuhiko Akiyama and Kyoko Iwase are on, which remains unnamed, and also includes Wataru Akiyama. They joined together to meet the challenge they knew would be coming from Project D. Nobuhiko is the leader of the Alliance. The Alliance faces Project D twice, on two different courses, the first one being Sadamine. The Alliance throws the first downhill race against Project D so that Nobuhiko can gather enough information on Takumi to defeat him during the second set of races. Nobuhiko recruits Sakamoto for the job of defeating Takumi and all of the Alliance members (except Kyoko) chip in to purchase a Suzuki Cappuccino for Sakamoto to use in the race. Tsuchisaka Lan Evo Team (Stage 4) A couple of Baduns in Lan EVos Purple Shadow (Stage 4) Purple Shadow (パープルシャドウ, Pāpuru Shadō) is a two-man team consisting of Toshiya "God Arm" Joshima and Kozo "God Foot" Hoshino, both of whom are legendary around those parts. Based in Ibaraki, they drive on a course on Mount Tsukuba called the "Fruits Line". Team 246 (Stage 5) Team 246 (チーム246(ツーフォーシックス) Chīmu Tsū Fō Shikksu), also known as "The 246ers", is a team based in the Kanagawa Prefecture. Racing in Yabitsu , they are direct rivals to Team Sidewinder, another team located in the Shizuoka Prefecture. According to Bunta and Ryosuke, Shizuoka is the center of street (drift) racing, notable for its mountainous regions (Mount Fuji is located there) as well as the Fuji Speedway. Therefore, Shizuoka attracts many racers, amateur and professionals alike. Team 246 has many members, where representatives for a race are voted by its 31 members. The representative who will race against Keisuke on the uphill: Kobayakawa received 26 out of 31 votes, and races with a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (which Fumihiro has made fun of, as Keisuke is an emerging FD Evo Killer). Takumi will race against 246's leader: Omiya, who unanimously received 31 votes to represent Team 246 on the downhill. He will be driving a heavily modified Mazda Roadster. Racing Team Katagiri Street Version (Stage 5) Racing Team Katagiri Street Version (レーシングチームカタギリ ストリート バージョン, Rēshingu Chīmu Katagiri Sutorīto Bājon, often called R.T. Katagiri S.V.) are the Second Line in Kanagawa's "Four Lines of Defense". Their home course is Nagao, in Hakone. The team was named after the real professional racing team, Katagiri. Team Spiral (Stage 5) Based at Hakone Nanamagari, Team Spiral (チーム・スパイラル, Chīmu Supairaru) is the 3rd line in the "4 lines of defense" strategy formulated by team Sidewinder. Their philosophy is tuning a car to bring out its full potential to fit the characteristics and skills of the driver through heavy modification, which is often misconceived as simply buying the most expensive parts. Unlike R.T. Katagiri, the members of Team Spiral have no professional racing background and have acquired their near professional level skills from racing in the streets. The ranks of Team Spiral are unusual in the fact that Ikeda, while being team leader, is not considered the number 1 driver. Sidewinder (Stage 5) Sidewinder (サイドワインダー Saidowaindā) is a highly skilled team that organized the "4 lines of defense". Their home course is the Tsubaki Line, but the nearby Toyo Turnpike may be a part of their home territory (Ryosuke's battle with Rin Hojo was raced there). There are many rumors that they might be the "fourth line" or the last team in Kanagawa that Project D will compete with. In the storyline, this team is trying to analyze Project D's weaknesses. They collect information by watching Project D during their practices and races.

Doesn't really matter as the owners club never got around to creating a Facebook page or youtube channel anyway, they are so 20th century! (Says the Old Git) Alec

What's the MidAtlantic Club about? Have they done a submarine convertible version ?

If you know how to change the YouTube URL go ahead, we did all the info on the page, anyway its your fault, didn't you create the youtube channel

Have added it to the club YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/GT86BRZOwners Plenty more vids to look at on there Alec

Mine's 2 on Sunday, might take it for a drive

Lauren went to 86 day in Japan and didn't get that close to him, that bloke's almost as good as Takumi Fujiwara Alec

Did you watch it in Yanklish or Japanese with subtitles. I strongly recommend the latter, the Yank accents ruin it for me, these are Nihon-jin, they should sound like it ! Alec

I'm like Liz windsor, 2 86 day's a year !

Looks like we're the only one to include the scooby stars

I'd love to do Oulton again or Angelsey or Mallory Alec

Somewhere "Darn Sarf" by the events he's been attending Alec

I think all the Japanese toll roads are normal roads as far as speed limits are concerned (no nurburgring !) so its up to you if you want to risk it

That steering wheel looks well nasty!

Got yellow stuff front and back now, fronts did 200miles (120 laps) of Oulton Park with no problems at all, worked all day, no fade, but I did totally shag the OEM rears (and the disks, but they had done over 27k anyway). Picked up some cheap rear disks, think they are the Japanese poverty spec design, solid rather than ventilated, but only £55 the pair new. For what its worth (being an opinion) I use my brakes pretty hard and having done about 4-5k on them now I'd be happy to get the yellowstuff pads again Alec

Should that be Bonne Annerversaire or something like that ? Happy Birthday Dude

Not worried about the looks, same engine and with the proper diff I'd have bought one to save the cash Alec

Saves 40kg, and has same rear disks as me now ! Alec

easiest way too free off stuck wheels is to partially undo the wheel nuts and slowly lower the car onto a block placed half way under the tyre Should give enough twist to pop them free

The Japanese love a Gaijin to take part, went to Tokyo Disneyland and went on the Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour with my Japanese Girlfriend, Aya. About 40 of us on the tour but only one gaijin so I got volunteered by all the rest and our guide to wave the magical light up plastic sword at the evil magician at the end. He promptly collapses then from a treasure chest I'm presented with my Official Disneyland Tokyo Hero medal (had to kneel down so he could reach ) Happened all the time I was there, they just want to get you involved in whatever is going on More getting involved here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.416563724142.192862.601834142&type=1&l=fab225e821 Best place I've ever visited/lived, take every opportunity you get, do it all ! Alec

It might be too hot for them but me you and Will anded up wearing ours at the weekend 'cause of the covered arms rule on the track, glad we had air con! Alec

Hi, where about are you and do you have an 86/BRZ yet? The clothing is here http://www.gt86.org.uk/forums/store/category/3-clothing/ but we also had some hoodies done, not sure how many/ what size we have left, Rob will know. Alec
