    Lowe's Team Grey

    Greddy USA were selling them half price recently so even with shipping etc that may be worth looking at. I was interested in these too but as they aren't meant to make much in the way of power and so be mainly for noise I wasn't massively impressed by the noise they make so have mostly dropped the idea. Be interesting to see though if you go ahead with them
  2. You'll need to add prices and pictures of items please to conform to the forums selling rules.

    Best Brake Discs?

    Stoptech centric blanks are worth considering. Cheaper than oem and good quality.

    😂 Has to be a serious consideration surely!

    Final thing for now is I renewed my insurance for another year with Greenlight. It'd come down from last year which was a nice surprise.

    Next up I bought the black interior trim pieces from the poverty spec Japanese version. I also picked up some covers for the hvac controls from Wish And these illuminated toggle switches which replace the little cubby next to the starter switch (although I haven't decided what I'm actually going to use them for yet) And lastly, as the door cards have to come off to fit some of the new trim bits, I've also ordered a set of the Focal IS165TOY replacement speakers.

    Haven't updated this for ages as there hasn't been that much to report but I've got a few bits and pieces underway and waiting to be fitted. Firstly I removed the Voodoo 13 LCA's. The Motons I have fitted lower the car quite a bit without touching their lowering capacity and it was just too much with the drop the Voodoo's give meaning that to get the ride height I wanted the dampers were 'topping out'. I also sold the carbon wing and boot as I decided I didn't want to change from my Legsport carbon ducktail. My cars been away for a while having a few bits done which I'll report back on when they're finished. In the meantime I've picked up a few bits to give the interior a bit of a lift. First up I got a new gear knob from a company called Commune DIY who make them from recycled skateboards so each one is unique. I went for one with primarily red and black woods to match my interior colours I also had the shift pattern burnt into the top.

    Wheel weight rota blitz, pro race 1.2

    @Daninplymouth if you are happy to go to 17x7" I had the Konig Daylites which were 6.5kg a corner and stood up to plenty of both road and track use quite happily. They came in at under £600 for the set.

    Wheel weight rota blitz, pro race 1.2

    @Daninplymouth worth looking at the Konig offerings too. They do some light and very well priced flow formed options 👍

    Wheel weight rota blitz, pro race 1.2

    949's are very tough wheels designed for track abuse. @will300 may be able to chime in with their weight as he has a set
  12. I have run a 9/14 with arb's and ran 7/8 with arb's for ages for dual use. The dampers make a massive difference to running the high spring rates though. I wouldn't fancy those rates on cheapie dampers!

    Warrenty and modications

    Maybe show them this, it may help?

    Thank you @Lauren I'm looking forwards to doing what I can to help

    Disks and pads.

    You could do a nice cheap upgrade then to the larger oem brakes when someone's selling after fitting a bbk

    I thought that's what I'd seen 👍

    Tyre pressure

    Unless they are massively different in size to oem then oem pressures should be fine. For 215/45/17 oem is 35psi all round. I've found that is fine for road use on most tyres I've tried but some tyres will want more pressure, some less (rainsports for instance have very soft sidewalls so benefit from a higher pressure).

    Disks and pads.

    To be fair the brakes being smaller is what I'd read but I haven't actually looked at a primo in person (you don't see many obviously!) Maybe @Riceburner could advise if they are the smaller ones or if they're the same as the non primos in the UK?
  19. Deacon

    Disks and pads.

    All UK cars have the larger brakes as standard apart from the very few (about 30) primo editions sold

    The next step...

    The one I have that @will300 also picked up was from ebay and was about £2! Maybe worth a try to see if it works for you / you can deal with the looks
  21. Deacon

    The next step...

    A shift extender greatly helps with the cold shift but it depends if you can live with the looks

    Red budget build

    For the coilover 6 hours labour seems excessive. The 86 suspension is pretty easy to change - somewhere that knows what they're doing should have it done in 2-3 hours. You'd then just need an alignment on top.

    Maxton Splitter and Side Skirts

    Skirts will be fine, splitter probably not as the BRZ bumper is a different shape
  24. Mine will be going back onto its winter wheel and tyre set up at the end of October - Do Luck double six wheels in 17x8.5 with 225/45/17 Nokian WRA4 tyres
