    Torque App

    All this PID tech confuses the life out of me. Click and hold for long and you get so many options to readily use. Why do all this in a complicated way? @martin T a bit of torque fun for us poor cousins not having the latest tech. [emoji1] Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk
  3. Mike has explained above but to use an analogy , when your house walls are being skimmed, you can use heaters for it to dry out faster (but its not recommended)[emoji6] and get it done quicker. It does come with a risk of potential cracks in future. Something similar. Better to be safe than sorry, really. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

    GT86 Severe Knocking Sound

    When was the recall done? As Gavin says , if it was less than a year ago then the dealer / Toyota is liable ans you must contact them first before taking to a private garage. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

    GT86 Severe Knocking Sound

    Year of car? Did it have valve spring recall done recently or not done/ not needed? What did the dipstick show- normal oil level? Is the car modified/ tuned/ boosted? Dipstick tube issues are possible and a replacement is easy. I will be worried about engine, could be rods, could be bottom end, could be excessive RTV sealant but unless we get all the info in the post, not much we can point to.

  7. As others have said, sump baffle installation estimate is sensible and fair while Manifold is extortionate. You could go with the former as the car needs to be left with them overnight ans best to do it when car is left there. For the manifold and overpipe install its a drive in drive out job. 2 hrs tops if you don't need a retune. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

    Coilpacks - life expectancy? Upgrading?

    Very interesting. is your car stock or tuned? Sometimes a poor tune can cause spark plugs to foul early. A possibility.

    Milltek or Cobra exhaust

    Maarten, Before you start with exhaust think about how far you will take it. 1. Will you put a decat long tube manifold. If yes you need a quieter exhaust. 2. Do you plan to decat mid pipe. Same as above. 3. If you are going to add a turbo, you can go with a louder exhaust as turbo quietens. 4. If you plan to supercharge again a quieter exhaust is good. Remus were the official.OE maker for Subaru Sports exhaust offered till 2017. You can buy their back box from your local.company. search for their. nl website. details below. https://www.winparts.co.uk/exhaust-system/performance-exhausts/c293/remus-sport-exhaust-l-r-subaru-brz-2-0-147kw-2012-gt/p1072161.html Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

    225/45/17 tyres?

    I was thinking this through , and to maintain steering feel and get better traction on a RWD, staggered set up of 215 on front axle and 225 on rear axle cannot be a bad set up for best of both worlds. It does not let you rotate tyres potentially front to back but only left to right. @James- Do you find 225 perceivably different to 215 or is it much of a muchness?

    GR Yaris who's going for it?

    Which version did you go for, base , convenience or circuit? And will it be a Christmas gift aka in time for it? If one talks of a rally car and wrc , there is no one better than a Subaru ( haha) Colin Marie, Richard Burns, Petter Solberg et al. Toyota could have benefitted from the partnership immensely.

    Lovely to see Lauren. There is something special and a bit of an unknown in buying a car based on spec sheets and adverts. This is what makes it exciting. Coupled with the fact that you might be one of the first few to have the production car, is a delight. I remember Subaru make in Gunma Prefecture. Is Prefecture a factory or something in Japanese?

    Coolant leak

    Can these dents be fixed? How?

    So the door can be fixed by Paintless dent removal as they can access the back of it. The sill cannot as it is effectively a chassis part. The way you do it is weld a piece of metal on it and pull the sill out, then snap the metal piece and grind the weld off then repaint. It is a 300 to 400£ job, if you want it done properly by a body shop Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

    Anyone in Herts/Bucks who can show me their car?

    He does have a lovely car indeed! If you fancy experiencing other options, I am less than an hour from you. You are welcome to come along and have a ride in a Cosworth. 😊

    225/45/17 tyres?

    Looks the same wheels as UK cars. I now think people have not looked at their manuals and UK cars will also be 7.5 wheel. Curious. Anyone with a 2017MY happy to share a pic of wheel spec from their manual please? Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

    Very interesting Jay. Either Dutch cars came with different rims or its a 2017 MY change. Mine is a 2015 MY. Everything else is same except wheel width. See attached. Do you mind sharing a pic of the wheels on your car? Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

    86/BRZ Meet - Blackbushe Airport GU179Q

    The guideline is 6 people from 2 families can meet. Then qe need to call Owners Club and Drivers Club as the families to be legally meeting. [emoji2] Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

    Help picking a car

    Honestly, the car is a very stable platform through its life. You will not make a wrong choice with either. Its all about how much you want to spend now as its a weekend toy. Take it easy and enjoy your car , which ever you pick. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk
