Do you need a larger MAP sensor? I've not seen a Harrop in a while but on a Sprintex and Cosworth charger you get some odd fueling if you run a larger MAP sensor due to pressure waves in the manifold.

1.37 Bar is the maximum on the OEM sensor.

Seeing as it uses the same sensor it should read the same It's also worth noting that the OEM sensor isn't reading the hottest part of the oil system - depending on where you place the sensor you see around +/-10C.

I know that this might appeal to a select few but for those who put any driving videos together I've been playing around in DashWare to recreate the GT86 gauge clusters. For those that don't know, DashWare is one of a few programs that combines videos with datalog info. This can be got via EcuTek, Torque, Tactrix etc Everything is functional if you log the correct parameters: Speed RPM (Includes shift light) Gear Oil Temp Ambient Temp Accelerator Brakes Latitudinal G Longitudinal G Steering Angle on MY17 I can share these out if anyone is interested. I just need to find a GPS app that I can combine with EcuTek's ECUConnect App.

I datalog using EcuTek. Dashware is just overlay software.

Don't forget that underneath this is a Subaru platform. Subaru now do boxer hybrids so I expect that this, most likely being produced in the Subaru plant again, will fit the mold better. Plus TNGA is FWD.

I still think given the tie in between the 2 companies is for hybrid technology sharing, Subaru will move in that direction more and more and Toyota have started to look towards more performance hybrid power, as in the new 2 litre in the UX/Corolla, so I think it makes sense for the BRZ/86 to be a good model for them to be a first for both. Toyota will have the tech to make the batteries smaller and lighter and it will give instantaneous and linear torque which will suit the chassis.

What exhaust parts do you have fitted. I found that my OEM backbox resonated like crazy at that kind of RPM when had changed parts earlier in the system. The only way around it was to replace it.

Means nothing. Rule of thumb, mods don't add value. If you have like for like cover on mods then you're covered anyway so long as you don't write it off. A bit different if you want to go agreed value to cover your investments, but you'll pay for that privilege if they agree it.

Aren't OEM quality I agree...... but they are sold as OEM alternatives, not "uprated" pads.

They are Brembo brakes, just everyone assumes that because Brembo brake kits are on many sporty cars that all Brembo brakes are sporty. They're not, these are OEM equivalent. FWIW I have heard many people in the Honda world refuse to use Brembo discs as well for the same reason.

Is SpecK back?

That's because the well designed kits aren't designed to shift bias. You use piston area and disc size to maintain the balance, a BBK isn't primarily for improved braking distances, it's to get the heat out the system for longevity.

Mods don't tend to add value to the car, unless you're going for agreed value to cover a potential write off there is no benefit to upping the value. Insurers like Flux tend to specialize in modified car policies/insurers and less on standard cars so they are less competitive on stock cars. I've yet to find one, Greenlight have never been willing to quote me.

Why would you increase the value of the car?

Flux have always been my go to with my SC'd car.

I test drove a RX300h a few years back, best thing I can say about it is that it reminded me of an old school American V6/8. Lazy and effortless cruising but no real go as you would expect in a car like the RC. Hopefully the newer generation is better, but given the models it's I'm not expecting fireworks. 😂

Is the 2.5 new or just the same as the one used in the Lexus 300h? I have to say that I've been tempted to chuck in the 86 for one of these. You have to remember that these are available at 0% finance, so that makes it quite comparable.

It's just how you add strength to a flexible metal without making it thick and heavy The bonnet is the same on all models. Some come with less insulation, like this: If you remove all the insulation, the whole bonnet is like that. Here are the original set of 4 Verus vents: You could do them as a pair or all 4. They have also recently done a pair for the outside rear, but I believe they are less efficient (better looking though IMO). I also think TrackSpec make some larger ones if that's what you fancy....

Hard to tell from those, but one will fit the 286mm solid low spec rears and the other will be for the 290mm vented rears as found on UK spec. I would assume it's the 16" ones that you want.

The new JDL 4-2-1 also looks good, not sure how it compares getting one into the UK price wise but will be up there with the ACE/Rogue ones I reckon. https://jdlautodesign.net/shop/jdl-auto-design-ft86-4-2-1-equal-length-header Note that this is their UEL vs new 4-2-1 EL rather than vs stock:

It does throw an error if the cat in the manifold is removed. The DTC is just disabled in the tune.

I tend to watch this Tyre Reviews channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEvB1bmKjPWZ3V1wSdBnXPQ Does real world tests for various tyres and gives honest opinions. Quite often the tests are done on RWD cars and not FWD hot hatches, this does make a difference.

That sounds a lot for the #2 sensor, sure they haven't quoted you for the wrong one? It's not a wide range sensor like the #1 sensor. See if you can find the part number online and have a shop about. Just a Denso sensor IIRC.

Number of pistons is irrelevant. Piston area is more important. Most front BBKs are designed with the OEM rears in mind so don't shift the bias too much.
