    Funny intermittent smell when air con is on

    Just went to sniff some anti freeze. It doesn't smell like this. I dunno how to explain it. It isn't even a bad smell like that. And it comes every so often for a couple seconds then disappears and comes back. You're all free to come round and smell it lol Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Forged rods to fit OEM Pistons?

    Isn't worth doing pistons with what you're doing. Rods is more than enough Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Yeah I have no leaks anywhere that I can find. Checked the cam plate cover as well. No leaks at all. Mine happens when recirc is on mostly as well but sometimes when not. Changed my cabin filter. See how that goes Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk
  4. As title states I'm after used aftermarket over pipe. Let me know what you have. Thanks Nic Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Functional splitters/diffusers

    If you can't stand on the splitter, it's not functional. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Boot won't open - Getting fed up with owning this car

    I have similar issue with the closing. I have to slam it pretty hard. If you aren't happy with it, may as well get rid of it. But if you can look past it for what it is then keep it. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Good thing with TD na kit is you can upgrade you to there turbo so if you're interested in their turbo it's a no brainer. If you're after an avo turbo I'd just save and for it and forget the TD manifold Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Yeah the stanced guy is my friends cousin so. It depends what you're after tbh. UEL will eliminate the torque dip you see at 3-5k rpm but falls out of efficiency. The EL does something to the torque dip to reduce it but it's still there but has better high end power. Mine was mapped on road so I don't have any figures but it's noticeably more punchy. It depends on what your future goals are For me I plan to supercharge so I went for EL as the supercharger will eliminate the torque dip anyways so I wasn't to bothered about UEL. Some like the burble of UEL. If you get really fussy you could say UEL is less reliable on engine compared to EL due to uneven pressure between the runners but I don't know how negligible it is or isn't.

    There aren't too many gt86 around the south east area. Myself, Andy, there's a guy with a facelift red gt86 in charlton and 13 plate red stance biased gt86 near welling also. I'm from deptford myself but I work in blackfen so always in the area with my 86. I'll let Andy tell you his set up, but for myself, I'm running a tomei 421 equal length header with a cobra resonated catback. Had the car mapped my fensport earlier in the week. UEL is good for eliminating the torque dip. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    What rear lip diffuser are you using mate? And how does it attach? I have HT auto on the rear section of my bumper but wondering if a rear diffuser to go under the exhaust will interfere if it attaches via the same part from the bumper. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Not sure what kind of cat ft86 use on their UEL but not sure if decatting 2nd cat would be the greatest from an emissions and mot point of view but I could be wrong. I've got my manifold decatted but running the primary 2nd cat. Maybe swap out for a HFC if I can find a suitable set up which will still pass mot Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    OEM bits for sale

    Hi, been swapping a few things out and need to get rid of everything as I have no space for hoarding. Previously made an ad for OEM red spoiler but as I'm selling other things, I'll include that in this if that's ok. 1 - Tail light clusters (2012-2015). Swapped mine out for Valenti's so these are spare. Good working order - Price £120 2 - Head unit (2012-2015). Again using an aftermarket unit so these have to go. Just the unit, no mounts or nav module - Price £120 3 - Red spoiler (2012-2015). Removed from my car for a black one - Price £90 4 - Haven't included picture but I have the sound tube/generator laying around. dont think anyone would want this but if you do its there. dont know how to price this so - Price £20 Open to offers on any item for sale. Collection is preferred from South East London but willing to post.

    @graham86 you have a decat manifold and high flow catted front pipe? Does this pass mot on emissions Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk
  21. There's a video thats on YouTube just been uploading by some Aussies. Who have had their rods go at about 400bhp. Pretty interesting watch as they take apart the engine and show you. If I remember where on YouTube I'll post a link. I know I'll go supercharger route but thought hmm if I went harrop and eventually wanted more power to do internals and then ask if harrop could make their smaller pulley. Haha now I'm dreaming Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk
  22. I was just watching the harrop video. Putting all forged internals aside, they reduced pulley size and got the car up to 380bhp. I know cosworth do their 10% smaller pulley but is it simply reducing its size that's required to get additional boost? Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Used one of those android apps with a noise reader. Not sure how accurate it is but I get about 90db idling but abit over 100db when giving it the beans. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    I have the same exhaust but my manifold is decatted. Sounds odd they would punish cars that are loud from factory Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk
