    Wheel Ideas

    Most of the high end wheels like OZ, Enkei, Rays, Weds, etc will all cost around £1400+ minimum for a full set A similar wheel is the Sparco DRS (Sparco wheels are made by OZ) - which you can get in 18x8 +35 for around £800: https://www.ozracing.com/uk/alloy-wheels/sparco/sparco-drs https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/sparco-wheels-drs-alloy-wheels-in-rally-bronze-set-of-4-2006683/ There is also the Japan Racing JR21 as these are fairly similar: https://jr-wheels.com/category/jr21

    What intake is this?

    It might be worth removing the jubilee clip's and rotating the silicone to see if there is any mishimoto branding on the silcone coupler. The main issue with that type of intake, is you need to remove the bumper each time you service the car to clean/replace the filter element.

    Causes of brake fade on a track day

    Your issue will be a combination of the brake fluid boiling and the pads overheating, as already mentioned by @Kaltorak With regards to your mod plans, braided lines and master cyclinder brace won't make much difference as they affect pedal feel, not braking ability. From my own experience a strut brace with built in MCB is better for feel than just a MCB, having run both. Also assuming your on stock calipers, you probably want a better pad than Hawk HPS for track use as the Hawk pads are still a street biased pad. Which fluid have you gone for? In the past I've used ATE Type 200 and didn't really get on with it as I kept over heating it. I've since replaced it with Millers Racing Brake Fluid 300+ and not had any issues. Final point, when you bleed/replace the brake fluid, you also need to bleed the master cyclinder if you don't do this it can leave air in the system.

    Technical issues with a used turbo kit

    What do you mean by technical issues? Do you mean missing parts? or actual turbo issues i.e. boost leaks, oil leaks, etc. Also used turbo kits come up very rarely and a different turbo kit might have a different requirements to setup etc.

    Battery recomendations

    I'm also running a Yuasa YBX3014. Although it's still not perfect and I've had to jump the car a couple of times during lockdown. However my battery is probably 3 or 4 years old now. I'll be making the switch to Lithium when the current one dies, although they are expensive.

    Welcome to the club @Nandeyanen have you checked with the dealer to see if they can get the manual / contact the previous owner for it?

    Abbey motorsport NA package

    Technically if you remove either catalytic converter from the car, it should be an MOT fail. Whether it passes the emissions or not.

    @Kaltorak hit Ctrl + F5 to refresh the page Cache. I checked the link and it worked for me in Chrome, then tired it in Firefox and it had the same issue you've got, but refreshing the page fixed it.

    20% OFF everything on www.part-box.com

    I'll add some issue I've found / got: 1. The brands section isn't done in alphabetical order. 2. The page doesn't auto fill to the browser height, so on the car search page for example on a screen with larger than 1080px height, leaving a load of whitespace at the bottom of the page. It'd be fine if the footer was positioned on the bottom of the page. (see screenshot) 3. Car search doesn't work

    MartinT's BRZ

    For reference, Tuning Developments use the Exedy Stage 1 kit in their Turbo Stage 2 package, which produces more torque than the 280nm you listed above. I know the power delivery will be different but I think Exedy understate their performance figures on their clutches.

    Ecutek

    If that's the route you want to take, go for it. It's also worth mentioning when ordering the Fuji manifold directly from the supplier it also comes with the overpipe, but there is no mention of that in the 2nd hand sales thread See: https://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts-info?id=14006&cat=89&sub=3583&sec=0&var=0&dc=&gen=&searchKey=&searchPart= Not that you should need the overpipe as it should fit the standard one.

    Ecutek

    It'd make more sense for you to just buy an N/A package from the likes of Abbey / Fensport or Tuning Developments. By the time you spent the money on the manifold, install/fitting and custom mapping it works out about the same price, around £1500. Fensport Package - Uses a Tomei manifold: https://www.fensport.co.uk/collections/toyota-gt86-2012-to-2016/products/fensport-na-tuning-package-torque-dip-gt86-brz Tuning Developments: https://www.tuningdevelopments.uk/product_info.php?cPath=502_625_852&products_id=2567&osCsid=3lb2ul1mqgs8sqdj63r5coo804

    Ecutek

    No, it's not like an Open Flash Tablet where there are maps readly available for everyone. You need to purchase a custom map from a tuner or create your own. Fensport is £336.00 for mapping without an Ecutek License. If you need a license it's: £552.00

    Ecutek

    Yes, assuming you know how to create your own custom map.

    Ecutek

    The simplest thing for you to do, is take it to Fensport / Abbey / Tuning Developements / Amber Performance and ask them to map it for you. If you want to remote map your car using a pre-made map you need: Ecutek kit with Programming Ecutek License - Assuming your car doesn't already have a license assigned to it. If you wanted to create your own custom map you also need, in addition to the above. Ecutek RaceRom - BRZ Upgrade for Pro ECU Fensport offer a rental Ecutek programming kit, which might be a good option. You'd still need the license and someone to tune it. Search for Ecutek on the Fensport website (I'm using Fensport as it's easy to find the various option on their website): https://www.fensport.co.uk/search?q=ecutek

    US vs UK prices.

    The other thing your forgetting is quite a few of the UK places will do discount of around 10% if you mention your a member of the 86 Drivers club. For example: Amber Performance list the Valenti Revo's at £642.00, but with there discount I paid £550 for my set.

    US vs UK prices.

    But it's not $100 dollars shipping, it's actually $285.65 from the quote I've done, making the total £750. Then once you've added import duty and tax it'll be over £900. See the below import calculator figures (this was based on the FTSpeed prices). Duty Calculator for referrence: https://www.simplyduty.com/import-calculator/
