MFactory Final Drive Kits in stock at Tuning Developments for GT86 and BRZ
Deacon replied to Mike@TD.co.uk's topic in Tuning Developments
In terms of the final drive the advantage should be quicker acceleration. The downside will be higher revs which could be annoying on the motorway and will use more fuel. -

Can you supply the ACT Prolite flywheels @Mike@TD.co.uk? -

I'm due at yours on the Saturday before the meet for some bushes to be fitted so maybe we can have a chat then? -

Think I might need to be having a chat to you about a 4.67, alu propshaft and lighter flywheel combo @Mike@TD.co.uk 😉- 101 replies

Welcome aboard!

Ps3 and xbox 360 for me at the moment and I'll pick up a ps4 at some point. Just got this as my driving set up:-

Really like the bonnet on black - been wondering how it would look for mine. Tempting!
-
Wheels are lovely 😍
-
The mtec springs, a heftier shifter knob and the whiteline positive shift bush make a big difference (but the whiteline bush does add a bit of nvh)

Another Clothing Group Buy!! (Closing end of February)

Not got one yet? -
Do need to be careful with manifolds though - having seen the dyno plots for one of the hayward and scott ones it actually lost power and torque across the board compared to stock. I'd only put on something that's shown proven gains like the ACE, Tomei or HKS. I'm very interested to see the results of the 1320 too.

Mine was replaced under warrenty. It never failed to start but had difficulty a few times.

2 clicks from fully soft - so 14 clicks from stiff? Not tried mine that soft - I usually find it's a bit too wallowy around 10 from full stiff so I usually settle at around 7-9 from full stiff. I'll have to give 14 a try now though when I'm back on my feet - got me curious Sam!

I don't think you'll get the camber you want at the front without camber plates but you might just and it can be increased by ovaling the hole on the stock itself. To get the rear even and below 2ish you'll almost certainly need either camber bushes or arms. Arms are easier to adjust but more expensive. If you go for bushes the whiteline are adjustable on the car whereas the superpro have to come off I believe. Set up depends what you mostly use it for really. Mines been on 2.5 negative front and 2 negative rear and I've found that pretty decent.

Welcome on board - LordGrover from Pistonheads isn't it?

Springs and oem dampers on the whole don't seem overly well matched and give a poorer ride. It was one of the reasons I went with the AST's as they have a similar spring rate to oem. However, the Flex A's ride better than stock according to a number of people who've been in mine and are still on stock suspension.
-
I'd consider the tein flex Z or A's or even kwv1's if it's for almost entirely street use over the other suggestions you've made. I'd also suggest that it may be cheaper going for coilovers from the off as quite a few people (me included!) get springs then change to coilovers which is obviously a more costly way to do things. As for spacers I'm not a fan - correctly offset wheels are a better choice - but lots of people do run them.

Toyota PCP - can I pay off with credit card?
Deacon replied to Simonnnn's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
Yesh I think 3 months is fairly standard with most of them - my gf's mom's fiat is 3 months for instance. -
Yes - that's what my old one looked like anyway. You can see the new one on this pic:- And the old one on this one:-

The 'new' battery is black, old is white.

ACE Header for RHD cars in @ Abbey Motorsport
Deacon replied to Mark@Abbey M/S's topic in Abbey Motorsports
I'm pretty sure this is a machine welded one -
Also avoid riverfield drive if you're lowered - speed bump central! (Most likely to take you this way if you have come off the bypass. If you carry on to barkers lane and go down there instead you'll avoid them).
-
Just a heads up for the hotel peeps - there is a pretty nasty speedbump on the way in and some around the car park too - for those who are lowered you'll need to take it (very) easy!
-
Not really - my scirocco stock wheels were only 8" and had 235 tyres so that's only half an inch less
