It is a very good clone of the FA20Club one

Tarmac Sportz JR Wheels - Banzai/Jap Performance offer
Kodename47 replied to Tarmac's topic in Tarmac Sportz
What's the deal on JR18s? -
.... so long as you're using distilled water, then I guess it's OK. Otherwise, just top up with Subaru Blue SLLC.

Benefit of an A2A intercooler.

Not all FI is equal. I had a go in one of the original halo AVO cars. While it was fast, I prefer the supercharger. Some love the torque shove when a turbo comes on boost, I prefer a linear power delivery.

Would you not consider fitting yourself? The 3 PD kits are relatively simple if you can turn your hand at it. Sprintex "drivability" will be similar to the Cossie and Harrop as it's a similar torque curve, plus whine +++. Obviously the TVS based kits are a little better if you're likely to take it to track, if not then maybe the extra cost isn't worthwhile. HKS is the only centrifugal blower you mention and is more work to install. Slightly different torque curve so decide if that's what you'd be happy with. Just mp 2p worth, but fitting a supercharger + mapping leaves you one option...... Abbey Motorsports. You'd know I would say that but seeing as you've got a good relationship with Mark it would make more sense anyway.

That's rhetoric used by people who don't use a dyno....And not all dynos are rolling roads Last time I heard that was from Litchfield, who then installed a dyno a year later. Be careful with this statement. Sprintex cars do not overheat, the charge temps get hotter. People run them on track without issue. Also the HKS ones that have blown engines have been de-restricted and possibly not tuned right (as you can't rule that out), it's highly unlikely that a bone stock V2 would eat an engine and is still a well sorted kit.

Not sure but its minorly smaller in thickness and also in diameter.
-
The controls are less intrusive than expected and quite intuitive to use. I dislike them less now I've actually seen them.
-
Same one just in the dark IMO it doesn't look as bad as the top pic in the flesh. The new steering wheel seems popular due to the size too.
-
Different holes. The bootlid will be swappable though.
-
215 is quite wide for 17" as it is I believe, so I wouldn't go any wider.
-
I didn't even drill holes, used 4 cable ties per side using the brackets own holes. It's not going to impact flow that much seeing as these are more of an air guide than air ducts. I did try and bend all plastic behind the arms as best I could though, sits flush.
-
Didn't need to modify mine. Also, those look to be mounted differently to how I remember.

Blackout windscreen, helps keep the adrenaline up.

Both of those probably aren't possible without a lot of work (read expense).

Recall Notice: Power Steering Defect
Kodename47 replied to Kodename47's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
If the system says it takes 3 hours, I'd expect it done in well under 2 Toyota's warranty time allowances are overly generous I hear. -
Meh, it's still a MY17. Better than the previous TRD though, looks like they actually made an effort....
-
Torque Pro is what you want for Android. I think Dash Command is for iCrap devices.

You can get oil temp from the OBD port (there's a temp sensor for the ECU). You can get Wi-Fi adapters for iPhones and an app. Or if you want a vent solution, Abbey do the P3 gauge which reads OBD data so loads of displays, has analogue inputs too and does a few other features too.

As Keethos said, what's happening is that the clip is not holding it. Even though it clicks in, you need to ensure that it won't just pull out easily. I spent 5 mins looking at the bracket and then adjusting the clip so that it would hold. It makes it quite hard to actually push into place when done correctly. Mine now needs a screwdriver to remove like the OEM one does.
