    wheels, will they fit?

    Oh cool! I was just going off of what the ft86 forum post said. I'm planning on lowering 20mm using racecomp yellows. Do I need to consider anything else i.e. items to adjust camber? Thanks for being patient with my newbie knowledge Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    wheels, will they fit?

    Ah thanks that makes sense I've been looking at some alloys I like in an 8" width but they come in ET35 which would mean a little bit of poke beyond the arch. Just trying to understand if there are any other considerations I will need. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    wheels, will they fit?

    I know this is possibly a stupid question: but if the wheel is flush with, or protrudes from, the wheel arch... cant the wheel hit the wheel arch if you drive over a big pothole? Or is this prevented by the bump-stops on the suspension?

  6. Ok so this may be the lamest question ever, but what's the consensus on which aftermarket exhaust is the least noisy? Particularly for drone at motorway speeds? I'd love to hear a bit more burble from the exhaust, but it's my daily driver and I want to keep my sanity and hear my music! I have a TD decat UEL manifold so that's obviously increased the noise a little bit but I want more... but only a teeny bit more haha Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    Bilstein B14 coilovers - review

    Thanks for sharing your experience - it seems like it could easily turn into an obsession getting it 'just right'! Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    Bilstein B14 coilovers - review

    Sorry to resurrect this, but is it impossible to lower a car on suitable coilovers and retain the level of comfort of stock suspension? To my mind if there's a shorter length of travel for springs and dampers to deal with then you aren't going to achieve the same level of comfort no matter how amazing the components are? Unfortunately I suspect it's a case of not being able to have your cake and eat it, but I would love to hear if someone's achieved this holy grail for daily drivers!
  14. Cool! What other treats have you got in mind or do we have to wait to find out?

    A very commendable piece of safety related maintenance there. It's always reassuring to know that a fellow is treating his stick with the appropriate prophylactic approach before handling. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    Head unit replacement

    Welcome to see the Toyota specific android headunit in mine since you're local. I think Kenwood do a 200mm wide unit but I forget the name of it. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
  18. I went up the Friday night before and stayed locally. There's also a very nice cafe (Cafe Ocho) within walking distance for a restorative fry-up! Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    Focal IS165TOY installation and review

    Thanks I'll give that a go! Appreciate the tips Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    Focal IS165TOY installation and review

    Sorry I meant that the focals have built in crossovers that separate frequencies between the tweeters and the mid-bass units. I've high passed the focals at 100hz and low passed the subwoofer at about 90hz. I will double check to make sure this is indeed the case, and I haven't toggled some odd setting on the amp though!

    No crossover on the amp only HP/LP filters but thanks for the thought Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    Focal IS165TOY installation and review

    I've just added an old alpine V12 amp to the focals, plus a Hertz compact subwoofer. They sound great but I've had to reduce the frequencies the tweeters handle by a huge amount to have them integrate with the mid-bass and sub-bass. Has everyone else found the same thing?

  25. Is there anyone who has had the TD NA tuning package (i.e. the manifold and tune) in isolation from other engine mods AND not passed the MOT as a direct result? Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
