I think it was this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Polyester-Compressible-Proofing-Insulation-Material/dp/B0793SFTSK/ but in a 10m x 1m size.

Fitting the Focal tweeters and sound deadening the boot was my task for today. I'll see how the car sounds over the next week for road noise, and test out the newly installed Focal speakers. The next big job on the list is to deaden the floor and under the rear seats, however that'll have to wait until I have a free weekend. Quick notes on the Focal speakers: I ran one of the Focal speaker for two weeks, as I started the drivers door late on sunday and due to the MLV not fitting on the door card I gave up doing anything else. There is a decent jump in quality that quite distinguishable between the stock units and Focals. The quality of the speakers makes them worth the £££ alone. However I'll see how I get on over the next week and report back.

Next up was the boot and boot lid. Silent Coat applied Boot lid Using up the last of the absorber foam:

During the following week I read about EB2429 install, on the owners club (http://www.gt86ownersclub.co.uk/forum/focal-speakers-and-sound-deadening_topic15043.html), he suggested using Silent Coat absorber foam for the door cards. So I binned the MLV idea of and went on Amazon and bought some absorber foam. This was much easier to cut to shape and it has a sticky back so was alot less fiddly to apply. Applied to door card Here are a couple of pictures of the Focal speakers (and a couple with the stock units) Side by side comparison - Stock on the left, Focal on the right. The focal tweeter come with a plug and play adapter that pushes on the end of the tweeter cable The focal tweeters don't click into place like the stock units as they are slightly taller, however the fit is tight so they won't go anywhere. Stock tweeter

The parcel shelf got some attention, I cut up a Silent Coat tile and applied it over various parts of the shelf: I added some of the insulation material to the lid Next was to start one of the doors - Door cover removed: Silent Coat tiles applied Knowing that I was going to sound proof the doors, I thought it best whilst on Amazon to pick up a set of Focal IS165TOY speakers. I installed these at the same time. All ready for the door card to go back on The guide on FT86forum suggested to add some MLV to the door cards, so I cut some to shape However it turned out this was a waste of time as I couldn't get the door card to fit back on, after around 45minutes of felting and re-cutting the MLV, I gave up. It was late in the day and I need the car back together for work the following day.

Over the last few weekends I decide to start a new project on the BRZ, sound deadening. Recently during the last 6 months I've started to get feed up of the amount of road noise that gets feed into the cabin. So in an attempt to tackle this I did some research on the various 86 forums and came across the following guide: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53511. Using that guide as a base I bought some sound deadening materials from Amazon and went about installing it all. Materials used: Silent Coat tiles - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Silent-Coat-187x265mm-Deadening-Proofing/dp/B00NVE013I/ Dodo Pro Barrier MLV - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dodo-Mat-Barrier-Proofing-Camper/dp/B00LUOQWDY/ Silent Coat absorber foam: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Silent-Coat-Sound-Absorber-Proofing/dp/B00CV0BM0O/ Sound deadening insulation Over the next couple of posts will be various pictures of the install. I decided to start with one of the most difficult jobs of the lot, the roof. Followed by the rear wheel arches. Roof Install - Headlining removed Silent Coat tiles added Additional sound deadening insulation material Head lining re-installed. Rear Wheel Arches: Silent Coat tiles applied Sound deadening insulation material filling the remaining gap Dodomat Pro MLV added to rear quarter panels This has definitely helped as it moved the noise from the back of the cabin more towards the front, it's still to noisy though, on the next step.

That's me, however the white stripes have now gone.

Welcome to the forum dude. I was fairly sure when I saw the 2nd picture that I recogised your car, sure enough I scroll back up and see your location and it confirmed my suspicions. I'm the WR Blue BRZ owner in Lichfield.

Been a while since my last update, nothing has changed performance wise. However today I picked my car up from being detailed by Reep Midlands in Leicester. Car now has PPF applied to the front bumper, along with a couple of pieces on the rear bumper. G-Techniq Crystal Serum Ultra Black applied everywhere else. I also had the engine bay cleaned and front brake calipers sealed. I ordered some new wheels a month or some ago, they are Japan Racing JR29's in Bronze, size: 17x8 +35. Fitted with Michelin PS4's. Also fitted a new Yuasa 60Ah battery as the standard 48Ah one died on me. Here are a couple of photo's.

Which companies did you go to?

Jesus @Deacon you didn't say they went into that much detail

Ignore me, it's 2.4% bias rear (I was comparing the stock with my own setup). Just run the same pad type all round.

@br0wny Here are the stats for the WRX calipers, based on those figures its a 5.2% 2.4% increase in rear bias. 99-07 WRX: Front: -4-pot fixed caliper. -(Tech: 4-pistons, each of diameter 40.4mm) -294x24mm vented discs. (295x25mm, or any combination of is also frequently seen, and compatable) -(Tech: A=294mm; B=57mm or 57.5mm; C=24mm; D=22mm; E=58mm; F=5 (5X100)) Rear: -2-pot fixed caliper. -(Tech: 2-pistons, each of diameter 38.1mm) -290x18mm vented discs. -(Tech: A=266mm; B=67.5mm; C=18mm; D=16mm; E=58mm; F=5 (5x100)) And make sure you refurb them, so they look like this

Buy this, then get the turbo kit when you can afford it. (Their turbo kit is cheaper with the TD manifold already in place) Personally financing a turbo kit is a crazy idea (or any FI for that matter). Lets say the worst happens and the engine blows up, how are you going to afford the rebuild?

Quite a few of them do open on Saturday mornings till about 12.

As @HariboPenguin says, try the brokers. It's a proper pain to ring round and give them your details, but if they can save you £300 it's worth it no?

Are you talking about a full respray (i.e. the complete car) or just the front bumper & bonnet?

Hi Mode 10 As one of the ACE owner's I hope I can help a little. Twin screw or Centrifugal? This is really personal preference, I suggest you try and have a go in both. Out of all the available supercharger options my preference would be a positive displacement supercharger, like the Cosworth or Harrop (both of which are silly cheap at the moment). Would the ACE and a centrifugal (Like the HKS) give it good power all around? Yes or would i be better going for lower down torque and mid with a Sprintex and use a cheaper EL to keep it more consistent at the top? Just keep the stock manifold, it'll be sufficient enough for that. However Rob is currently selling his full exhaust system, which he used with his Sprintex: Also what gains is there to be had of just using an ACE with tune alone? My dyno graph can been seen on my build thread here:

@Mark@Abbey M/S - What's the current price for the Harrop self fit kit & lead time? Thanks

Much swear words.... Got any actual pictures? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Nice review @GT MLT, did Mike give you a discount to write that? FYI: They all spike once you let of the throttle (with aftermarket manifolds) or give it a quick blip. You need to be careful of this on drive by, especially at places like Bedford.

Ah sweet, seen some of his work and follow him on Facebook. Definitely somebody I'd want doing a project like this.

Out of interest @Quball which bodyshop are you using?
