Rob - I think Sideways has got it right. You posted crap, in your own "Robs S/C GT86" Not "Robs S/C GT86 Project". So where's the input? You've gone coy over what's arrived at Heathrow.. if it ain't a mind-blowing +60bhp mod you've led (me) up the garden path.. 50 press-ups and a free clay bar makeover, please... Spec K

DaveB - I am a bit puzzled about " ... bigger front discs ... hard to get the car sliding on the way in..." Can you explain to this confused person..? Spec K

Croydon Out For Delivery? Not a chance .... 74% of packages delivered to Heathrow disappear before reaching Croydon... ... allegedly.. Spec K

But you're such a likely candidate... if anything goes pear-shaped you're involved in it somewhere, it's as immutable as the law of gravity or Darwin's Theory of Evolution.. ... err, no. Let's forget the latter... ..riddip, riddip... Spec K

Ouch! Did that include rear rotors/pads? Spec K

Good thread! Lots of interesting and useful data.. Yep - AP 332mm 4-pots will fit under stock rims... at a ridiculous UK price.... how much did they cost you, Lee? (Pitman did a deal via the USA, I believe... you can now engage the services of a 'personal shopper' over there who will buy/ship at 1.6% of your bill... you've still got shipping/duty/VAT to pay on importation but if the cost over there is 40% or more cheaper than UK it's a goer.. this info is from Daily Telewag last week...) Thanks for the heads up on the Dartford firm, Dan. I shall be having words with them... if Cosmurf cannot get their brake dance together I'll go elsewhere... Spec K

Rob's bought a stuffed squirrel.... car mascot, look good mounted on his new rear wing..... (.. I could've sworn it was Smudge who did the dastardly deed.... ) Spec K

It also depends what rims you intend to use. At the moment there are no AP brakes for 17" rims but Cosworth are meant to be introducing 330mm front disks soon which will allow the AP calipers to fit. I was mightily impressed with the Cosworth brakes on their demo car... I'm currently using K-Sport 8-pot front calipers with StopTech disks all round, fitted Ferodo DS2400 pads. Good for both road and track, although the front disks are being replaced today due to wear - not surprising the amount of track miles they've done.. Spec K

To those of you who are supercharged...

...and the good news is that turbo prices have come down! (Speaking with Adrian yesterday, seems that exchange rates variances are working to our advantage...) Spec K

Smudge's squirrel is still on track at Rockingham.... RIP... Spec K

Nigel - take a look at RPGM's cast inlet manifold.... a sheer work of art.... your namesake is the guy to speak with.. Spec K

Dan, Adrian informed me some time ago that AVO can take back your existing turbo and re-work it to a billet specification. Takes time, as it has to be shipped to Thailand but it is doable. Probably means you car being out of action for four weeks. Spec K

Welcome Captain. Faultless choice of car for 'mid-life crisis man' (or 'woman', for that matter..) Great choice to f/i as well... if we make a meet you're welcome to try my car.. Spec K

Err "... trackdays.." are not TSS..... Spec K

Rob, I feel exactly the same about being the only one who knows how to drive properly on trackdays..... Spec K

At least we're planning to dismiss the biggest L plate timewaster ever invented - the three-point turn... I'm sure the UK could cut its fuel consumption bill by 25% if Learners were made to learn between 1.00am and 5.00am... Spec K

... hence my (preferred) 4.67 diff ratio. Bit whiney but worth it.. Spec K

Quite right.... I was out of order, sorry Nigel... ..that blurry tickling stick got stuck up my a*se again.... Spec K

How long do you plan to keep your 86/BRZ?
Special K replied to griffinnn's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
Yep, selling it..... dunno exactly when but I think health issues may have an influence on that.. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak... -

Selling mine. Spec K -
Nigelr32 This is a serious problem, yes? You're worried about the price of "..anodising.." ? On a what... oh, alloy pulleys.. For Fscks Sake...!!!!! Get a life, pal - this pales into a "dark side" question. Go ask Fensports privately - we can do without garbage like this (in my opinion) on this Forum Spec K

So... you're definitely keeping it long term... At the rate they're progressing it's gonna be a decade before Cosmurf get their act together... Spec K -
