High flow cat pipe from cobra has arrived. Will be fitting it this weekend all things equal so will get a video as soon as possible! Got a few more bits of bling to add to the engine bay to so picture coming but for now just quickly fitted this today, Mishimoto black chrome gear shifter. I just need something to cover that white plastic bit the reverse cap goes over.

Your car is coming along nicely! Love it!

Seems better to invest elsewhere ! Oh and I fully understand, the pulleys I have are literally just for bling! 😂

The rear end of these cars just look naff. I'd sooner have a VW Tiguan next to my 86

The high flow cat pipe from cobra arrived Today so I'll do a video when that is installed. Can't hear the induction anymore. Although I could feel the increase in pick up when it was installed, the eargasm that is my Cobra exhaust has drowned out induction noise. Another big post update to come made up by lots of little bits including the removal of the sound tubes. It sounds wonderful though! Cold starts are awkward as I live in a built up area but I secretly love that as well! Fottong the k and n filter takes five minutes and I'd hugely recommend it!

If they are for stock alloys consider them bought! I can come to Blackpool if necessary but would rather have them shipped for £110. working at the moment will pm you when I'm done

Strong chance I have to cancel. Mother of my kids making life difficult (such is life). So sorry for the last minute cancellation. Unless I can bring my kids ! haha

Only one week to go! Who's meeting at Costa drive through, J16 in Swindon? Currently we have Greenspring+1, Sean-A, myself, BristolLee? and Jevvy?

Hey, just got my GT86 15 plate third owner (Demo/Pre-Reg, then first driver). Only 17400k on the clock! I work at Volkswagen and was a lush part-exchange. My colleague coined this username so thought I'd try it out!

Thanks for that! I'll be purchasing the high flow cat pipe to complete the system Yeah it's an odd one but I'm loving the noise and the slight increase in performance (I say slight because there MUST be placebo and confirmation bias there too!)

Yesterday, the brand new Cobra Sport exhaust including manifold was fitted to the car. Said I bought an un-equal manifold but my technician assures me an equal has arrived (better for performance so I prefer that) and there was no decat pipe despite buying a cat back non resonated system. Not sure if that's normal or not but had to use the original pipe with a picture below. I'll call them tomorrow. The result? Fucking loud! I'm at Worcester Piston Heads meet tonight and the Faringdon GT86 meet. Need to do a dyno and remap at some point to see the new BHP and the remapped one.

Finally got the K and N Panel Filter fitted and Blitz Induction Pipe. Noise difference is lush and noticeable, deeper and louder growl and you can hear that breathing/rushing from the filter more. And it looks fit. I might remove the noise piping though as the Cobra Performance Exhaust (including manifold) gets fitted tomorrow.

I live a five minute walk away from Tawny Owl on Dydale Road! I live with my mate there and pay him rent so my GT86 and my hearing-aid-beige Skoda Fabia Estate park in the only two visitor spots behind the flats haha!

@GreenSpring @Sean-A and Rhys, put your pictures on here?

Fensport are doing what seems to be good prices on the Cobra exhaust system. Does anyone have one or have any thoughts? Difference between resonated and non resonated?

Drove the car up Hackpen Hill in Wroughton yesterday. This was taken after a walk along it so a bit dark but had SO much fun driving this thing!

Sweet Jesus, did anyone else having a ridiculously fun commute or drive today in this weather? 😍

Loving the work man! Looks great!

Not able to make this guys! Still going t the 2nd July one!

You can barely see it in the bottom picture! The back is starting to vet too dark though? Was thinking of getting some blue in somewhere if anyone has any suggestions? (brake calipers, black and blue spoiler..)

Well I guess that confirms that the previous owner lowered the ride...

I think that's what I like! I want to see the gap between my car and behind, I don't care much for having a lovely panoramic view out the back. Practical approach!

That's a really nice view! I work at VW and I much prefer that angle! How much did it cost to fit? Or was it there from factory?

Welcome

I'm not sure on the wheels. So many out there and if you are going to do it properly from what I've seen it's quite costly. What also comes ones with new wheels is tyres and I would want good tyres. Any recommendations? I would want black or anthracite ones
