    Sprinting mods in what order,bang for £££

    1. Tyres (on standard rims )from list 1a probably Michelin pilot sport cups ( if they are allowed next year) - Pilot Sport 4's are out and meant to be a little better than the Super Sports. Pilot Sport 4s's are out at the start of 2017 but currently not in our size. These are meant to be a considerable improvement on the old Super Sports2.Brake pads , something to give a bit more bite but must work from cold ? Project Mu Hc800+ have a 0-800 degrees range. They have excellent stopping power but they dust badly and eat discs.3.Suspension, I use mine everyday so not looking for a big drop but would you think Ohlins are worth the outlay esp if I need to use standard top mounts ? Otherwise something like Koni dampers with RCE springs - Blisteins also don't have top mounts and a set of b16's may be good. They use progressive springs though which can be a bit rubbish on track. Ast will offer you any of their dampers without top mounts.4.Full alignment after coilovers/dampers - Definitely. Without top mounts you'll need camber bolts and some adjustment at the rear - arms or camber bushes if they're legal.5.Lower final drive - should work well for sprints.6.Manifold and remap or exhaust and remap as I shouldn't need the low down torque - the td package seems to work well.7.Lighter wheels but 17" x 8" max - there are plenty available on a budget (Fox Fx005's are 17x7.5 et35 and weigh just over 7kg but cost less for a whole set than some other wheels do each).

    Brake cooling ducts

    This is how mine are mounted. No issues since they've been fitted.

    Brake cooling ducts

    Nope didn't need to modify mine either - been on for a good 6 months plus.

    I was a bit concerned they may not be that bright when they're on with how tinted they are. Don't think I needed to worry!

    Couple of pictures:- Reverse light to be done eventually.

    Small mods that increase enjoyment.

    Mtec shift springs are really cheap and help improve the gearshift noticeably too.

    This does the same job but without the NVH the whiteline gives. Would be the route I'd take if buying again:- http://www.amber-performance.co.uk/product.php?xProd=25518&xSec=8577

    The lights? I managed to pick them up used.

    Picked up some new rear lights as I'd never been a massive fan of the stock ones. As soon as I'm feeling healthier they'll be going on:-

    Midlands Pub Meet - 29th October

    I wondered as I'd seen your fb post. Did you sell it with the mods on and what did you get for it out of interest?

    Robs S/C GT86 Project

    I think the Eibachs are hollow bars though - I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they are the equivalent of the whiteline 18mm bar.

    For the arb's my experience has been very positive and I definitely think they're a very underated upgrade. For me they were way more beneficial with the flex a's than they are now with the Motons as the Motons just don't really need them (I could probably remove arb's altogether with the Motons).

    Bore Da!

    Welcome along. In terms of na power even the TRD griffin only makes 230bhp na - I think realistically you'll struggle to get much more than 220 na. But it's not all about the power with these like it is on some cars.

    Lowering and offsets/18's width?

    I'd definitely go allegritas - much lighter than the ultraleggera's

    Gt86 Aero

    I have to say I'm biased though, interior on mine:- I would think the fact the facelift is on its way has got to be worth a try for a haggle!

    Red interiors are the best - really lifts it

    It probably depends on if the TRD are the real forged TRD's (which are pretty light) or a cast official copy (which I fear is more likely).

    Fairly similar I'd say - probably more to your personal preference
