HKS have just release their new Tsukuba Time attack monster, it's not often something leaves me speechless but..... Speedhunters - HKS GTS800 - The Tsukuba Record Challenger Teaser:

I'm just interested in the mounting points.

You got any more pictures of the harness bar @KevinA?

Hello Everyone Here are some photo's from the Toyota UK meet with Japanese designer Tada San. I'd like to thank Rob & the team at Toyota for hosting the event and putting on a good show. I tried to get a photo of everyone's car, however some photo's turned out better than others. If your car is missing sorry. Part 1:

With your setup, just keep the stock system in place, if you want to chase power, then you don't wanted a catted manifold.

Technically I've already convinced myself, I just don't have the funds. If you want a BBK, I'd seriously look at getting this: http://www.japperformanceparts.co.uk/product/toyota-gt86-trd-brake-kit/ at that price you'd be crazy not to.

Welcome Gary, that looks like it's had more than a few things done to it. I'm currently trying to convince myself I don't need a turbo, its not working however.

@Bfranklyn86 myself and Keith only have 1 cat now, there are no cat's in either of our exhaust manifold. I retained the stock 2nd cat (front pipe) and Keith has a Berk high flow cat front pipe. Also my exhaust is non-resonated, however the AVO has a lot larger rear box / silencer compared to the Cobra.

Here's a small video of mine & @Keethos car on drive by: Sorry about the mobile phone footage, anyone want to buy me a GoPro Hero 5?

Spotted a red Primo in Stafford today, he blanked me and Keith.

Welcome Lee, sounds like you've already had plenty of experience with the 86, any mods planned? As for premium membership, well for one your helping to support the club, two you get trader discount and three access to special trackdays.

Seibon Carbon (http://seiboncarbon.co.uk/) are the genuine company they are trying to copy.

Sabon Carbon... love it.

Worth a read for anyone looking at Oil Cooler, http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114293 however I suspect most of you already know this.

I'm not sure if that's the same ITM but SARD are working on a very similar design. Here are their design photo's:

When I ordered the BBK I wasn't too sure if it would clear my summer set of wheel's, the 949 Racing wheels. So today I decided to check and make sure. Well good news I they do with loads of room, so I don't need to buy a new set. Some pictures of the clearance:

I got a free copy with my graphic's card, however I can't be arsed to download 60gb's worth of game.

Summit / S-Wave are your best bet. However if money is no object then the SPL would be top of my list (Velox don't have a bolt hole for the headlight level adjuster).

If your planning on having someone else do the work for you, take a look at @smudge's build first.

It's supposed to do this: This item will increase the feel in the clutch pedal and give a more motorsports like feel to the return of the clutch pedal to stock position. It made it stiffer but the return feels spongy to me, which I don't like.

For anyone interested the BBK cost me £1800 as I went for red calipers and AP discs. However you can buy a similar setup but with black calipers and Reylands own rotors for around £1500 to £1600.

As its now 2017 its time for an update on my build, but first I'm going to start off by wishing everyone a Happy New Year. Anyway back to the car, I'd originally planned to go supercharged at the end of last year, however due to a supply issue I cancelled this after a couple of months. I then spent a couple of day thinking about what to do instead of the supercharger, I decided to stay N/A and purchase some more modifications. First on the list was a big brake kit as I've always felt the brakes on the car were lacking some stopping power. This provided a substantial challenge in deciding what kit to go for, after spending considerable time looking at the various options available I came to the conclusion that none of the existing setups matched my exact needs. After discussing this with @Ade he suggested I contact a company called Reyland Motorsport who make custom big brake kits. Over the following week I exchanged several emails with Reyland and we came up with a kit which meet my needs. The custom kit I ended up with consists of red AP Racing CP9200 calipers, AP Racing 330x28mm discs with custom hats, brackets and Ferodo DS2500 pads. Here are some photo's of the kit: Fitted to the car: I also decided to upgrade the rear disc's to match the grooved fronts, so I selected Stoptech grooved rear discs. I still need to bed the brakes in, but they feel much better already. (Once I'm back on summer tyres that will help the bed in process massively) The next mod I purchased was a Perrin 3" Cold Air Intake system with silicone intake tube, thanks to @James@Amber for providing this. I also purchased MTEC shift and clutch springs. In my opinion the shift springs are fantastic, a definite must for our cars. However I don't really like the change in feel of the clutch spring. The final mods I ordered were a HKS resonated decat pipe and Powerflex front and rear subframe bushes. I decided against fitting the decat pipe due to the extra noise it'd produce (This will be put up for sale soon). Finally due to the change in intake I needed to get the car remapped again, this time I decided to get the car dyno mapped by Tuning Developments. Here is the before and after dyno graph: As you can see @Mike@TD.co.uk managed to smooth out the mid range and get a little bit more power at the top end. One last comment, @Keethos thank you for providing the transport to and from TD.

Hi Everyone I recently came across a website which contains several tutorial explaining the fundamentals track driving. There are 20 tutorial's which explain the basic's of cornering, braking, vision, grip limit, etc and a couple of other guides. Having done the CAT Driver training a couple of years ago this was a good recap for me, and will hopefully help everyone else. The tutorial's are definitely worth a read. There is also a video for each tutorial, however not all of these worked for me. Driver's University: All Tutorial's If you CBA to read all the tutorial's but are new to track days, I'd definitely recommend you have a read of their guide. Track Day Guide: The definitive guide to track days Here's one of their video's on how to drift a road car, in an 86 no less. Thanks for looking Will
