    Fensport stage 5 AVO Turbo

    VAD17 replied to Oghero's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat

    Not that I am an expert, but consensus seem to be: - Stage 1 will get you 280ish (I have just over with TD kit at 0.4 bars), may be a bit more with 0.5 bars. For this you should think of exhaust mods (decat or sports cat), oil cooler (particularly if you intend going on track or do longer spirited drives), may be an autobox cooler if you have AT. I would also consider upgrading tyres, brakes (at least pads) and potentially wider wheels. Nannies on the car are pretty good, but with increased torque and power its pretty easy to loose the rear (some may prefer it though). Stage 2 onwards, ie 300 bhp +, seem to require engine build and further mods. Although I have seen stock engine with more not sure I would be tempted to play the lottery (particularly taking the car on track). But then even wirh 280-290 hp the car drives very differently and I think if want more (much more) its either crazy money or different car (I am sure Supras with fairly reliable mods will be easily in 400hp+ range). Come to one if the club meets or track days, you can see a few TC (TD, AVO by Fensport) and SC (Cosworth) options, most would be 280 ish range though. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

The huge run off areas make it an ideal venue whether this is your first trackday or your fiftieth - there is nowhere else like it in the country. Great value. Noise limit 101db static 87.5db drive-by (if you fail no refunds will be provided - check to avoid disappointment if you have modded exhausts) How to book: 1. You must be logged in for the code to apply 2. When booking enter GTBRZDCBA (case sensitive) into the coupon field and then apply it to get a 5% additional discount. 3. Please note GT86BRZDC in the comments field at the end of the order. 4. Discount code can only be used against Bedford Autodrome on the 5th November 2018. Discount code is limited to first 20 reservations (but if we need more I will call Javelin again). Please do not share the password with general public. Javelin reserves the right to withdraw the code at any time if it is being misused or abused. Unfortunately that's all Javelin was prepared to offer, but its a relatively cheap track day anyway. Once you have booked, pls respond and I will update the list of confirmed bookings Confirmed: 1. @VAD17 (organizer) 2. Nick (Vad's friend) 3. @Luke 4. sam534 5. @will300 6. @Adi 7. @Kaltorak 8. @lukester 9. @gavin_t 10. Sam's friend(s) + @willclarke (spectate and passenger rides)

    Corrected the photo above (after swapping the belts correct way around ). The black plasticky square should be on the INSIDE strap.

    You should post a YouTube link [emoji3]. I had the same issue with HLT recently as well. What I found helps is to link the GoPro via its app to the phone (you can also check and adjust settings easy this way), and only then link it via HLT before starting the session. Also found that HLT looses connection with GarminGLO (10HZ GPS) frequently. I recently started using Race Chrono Pro, IMO its more user friendly than HLT and also easier to analyse and compare laps as you can see track map with speeds and acceleration/ braking zones (colour coded as well).
