My 18s weight less than the stock 17s mate. The way I see it you add power to go faster you should certainly be looking at stopping faster to. Only logical. I like knowing I can scrub of a lot of speed with a light brush on the brake pedal. The stock brakes are deigned to only handle 197bhp car. If you add 40-60% more power then those brakes wont cope naturally right? As for bling is that not a big part of it all ; )

Cant believe it sold so fast. Hmmmm giving me ideas

I've not had a lot of experience with after market brakes but my d2 6 pots stop my car very fast and progressive, so hard in fact I gave myself headaches after repeated hard stops on road runs. On an other level to the stock brakes. I mostly do very fast road as where I am we can give it the beans without hassle. And for that main purpose I did not feel top tier brakes ie ap and alcon would warrant the extra cost. For a mid range brake kit D2 or K sport give the bang for buck. Look else where I guess if you are going to be be counting hundreds of a second on your lap times at the ring. But in general use cant go wrong. One thing I would change though is the pads as the D2 pads supplied with the brake kit give off enormous amounts of brake dust. Having to clean my enkei rpf1s very often. You can see the difference front to rear as the rear brakes are still stock but the wheels are much cleaner. Other than that for the price its a winner. Oh they look the nuts too...

GT86Jay's HKS Version 2 Supercharger Install / Mod Thread
CHOSENMAN007 replied to GT86Jay's topic in Projects & Builds
The HKS system sounds like it opens up a few more avenues than the sprintex. Id say 300whp or there about would be a golden marker on a s.c set up. especially for a road and track car. And not need any more unless you want uber power (turbo). I like my immediate wack of power which the sprintex gives as helps over taking. My problem now is going to the next level of power. A auto trans does not help either.- 88 replies

Abbey Motorsport GT86 Development car
CHOSENMAN007 replied to Mark@Abbey M/S's topic in Abbey Motorsports
Those are very impressive numbers indeed Mark. Id be happy with that. I 100% need HKS headers. I swear im running 14psi on a 75mm pulley. Got to check my data again. But think so. -
GT86Jay's HKS Version 2 Supercharger Install / Mod Thread
CHOSENMAN007 replied to GT86Jay's topic in Projects & Builds
Its good to understand in words how different superchargers deliver their power. Thank you. Am I right in saying the HKS kit and kraftwerks kit are similar? They look it. Can the blower in the HKS be swapped out for a bigger variant like the Kraftwerks?- 88 replies

I want to remove the toyota decal on the back of my car. Any one know of the best way to remove this?

Ok I understand some of you work within the tuning scene, race or did, have education about mechanics or just have been playing with cars longer than I've had a licence. I'm not trying to insult your intelligence but you did not believe my methanol injection would work and my theory was not sound and you firmly believed in your own theory, to this day only 2 people have said something positive about the outcome of that tread. All this from people with your backgrounds, so please don't make this out to be something its not. I simply stated what my ECU tells me. Yes there are drops overall but nothing to write home about. My theory is this on why I see slightly lower oil and coolant temps as a knock on effect of drastically lower iats. meth makes for more cooler air temp as we know dropping the intake charge temp helping drop the intake system including manifold and like mine the charger all helping with heat transfer this all in return transferring to a cooler burn in the cylinders also helping drop exhaust temps this in return also helps in the block temps so in short the oil running round the engine has less hi temps to cope with! Simple.. Cooler burns in the cylinders means the engine block is running at a cooler temp so the oil doesn't get as hot , as if you where to have hot air going in only to the engine intake it would make it run very hi in temps. Point to note this is just my own theory. I'm not educated in this field. I'm just trying to implement my own logic.

Well it not rocket science. Everyone who has water injection methanol mix all have a cooler engine overall... Fact. Ok please don't think I'm saying they are considerable decreases a couple or 5 degrees Max. I never once said this is an alternative to an oil cooler. But even if I did track I'd be ok. No question an oil cooler is better at cooling oil. I just put out my opinion like everyone else. Again people are to jumpy about my bananas : ) . I've proven it works and makes my s.c and motor more efficient. A few degrees drop in oil and coolant is just a by product of being more efficient.. Simple. No more no less. Bro!!! I studied sport science so I'm not the guy to explain it. I guess not having water methanol and how it effects combustion engines on your degree does not help as its not part of the course. It is what it is.

Of course they change.. Ever drive produces different figures. Weather ambient temps etc. So they never stay the same.
-
Interesting... So far no ones blown engines yet though mate. Some running big power and crazy heat figures. I'm just on the other end of the scale. Decent power cool temps. But your feed back will be good reading.
-
Yes I am mate! My p3 says it that's good enough for me mate.
-
Due to water injection and Having much cooler iats it has giving all cooling a knock on effect. Oil temps are lower rarely hit 113. Coolant sticks at 90. Iats peak at 45. That's on very hard driving. Its my weekend toy so its not a pootle kind of car, I blitz it on weekends. As for oil temps if you use a good oil your good to go from 115-150 degrees. As for a oil cooler for track I suppose it won't hurt as all cooling is good but for road no need.

Good man!!! Great to see another car with gold wheels. Bling bro.

Looks good like it.. Does the brz not come with a touch screen stereo? Or is it an option?

My supplier is secret mate! ; )

Is this normal? Have others experienced this too?

Haha or everyone trying yo race you... That's why I love it.. Affordable with super car kudos! Rare as a tramp with suede shoes -
How long do you plan to keep your 86/BRZ?
CHOSENMAN007 replied to griffinnn's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
2014 Hyundai i10 1.2 premium as a daily drive. It makes the weekends with my eight six simply great and what I look forward to within the week... For now all I can say is I will never part with it.. I want it to end up like Lauren ae86 in 20 yrs time. For the future hmmm r35 gtr, cayman or exige. Promotion and big jobs on the horizon I think : ) Lottery win 2014 Porsche gt3 hands down. Way better than in my opinion than any car.. Even the r35 nismo.. Saying a lot since I'm a gtr fan. Come on numbers... Go -
Black does look good when it is clean.. Must admit..
-
I do like the wingless look though.. Hmmmm

Its normal... Most performance pads squeak dude... My stock ones did it and even my aftermarket ones do.. All good. Just like gran turismo when the cars hit the starting grid ; ( squeak....
