    How does that work to get it lower? Is this adjustable lol. I thought whatever it is states on the advert is what it is? Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Hello all

    Those venty things on your window look neat. Do they just sit over the top? I'm going to get my windows tinted on Monday so can these just sit over? Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    BBK or better discs/pads

    Think drop in brakes disc and pads should be sufficient but if you are changing brake fluid, maybe worth getting it changed with some better fluids. I personally wouldn't go bbk with just street use. Regular tracking then I would. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Where Did You Buy?

    London - you don't see many 86/brz round here. I've seen one fella with a facelifted version who I think is local and one other with a 12 reg but that was only once thigh I hear he's local too. But these cars are rarely seen round here. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Where Did You Buy?

    Normally on a GT86 if it's outside the 5 year warranty, they you give you 12 months at the Toyota dealership. If it's still within the 5 year warranty they won't extend it for you unless there's less than 12 months remaining at which they will give you 12 months. At least this is my experience Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk
  12. rear tyres/brakes are squeaking excessively and its really loud especially when braking. at really low speeds eg. creeping traffic, the rear tyres also squeak without even being on the brake! at first instance i thought i would just replace the disc and pads but im starting to second guess this now that they are squeaking without even being on the brake! anyone else have any similar problems?

    Excessive squeaking rear tyres

    The shims do get dirty as hell. One of the pads was stuck and I had to remove the caliper to bash it out! That was the loudest squeaker! Guess I have a set of OEM pads for sale soon. Plenty of life in them, probably 80% pad still left. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Excessive squeaking rear tyres

    Excessive squeaking rear tyres

    those are the shims right lol. haven't got round to picking them up yet from eurocarparts. i actually took it to a quiet road and got it up to 60mph like 4 times and emergency stopped and became travel sick hahaha. so thought it might have cured it but it hasn't lol had to change my braking somewhat to minimise the squeal but will head off to eurocarparts tomorrow to pick up the pads. ordered the ones for 16 inch wheels!

    Excessive squeaking rear tyres

    Lol? Excuse the stupid question but just been on euro car parts. The two options on brake pads for rears says they are for 15" and 16" wheels. My wheels are 17' as standard? What do I do xD Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    Excessive squeaking rear tyres

    Ouch haha. Jesus.. wondering if I should just get a cheap set from eurocarparts now and try my luck. Guess no point spending the extra on stop techs. Strange though, I really had my eye on getting stoptech discs and pads as drop in upgrades Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    New owner questions

    This is spot on. I've been following the price on these cars for several years now. In the last couple years they've ranged from 13-15k for a decent one but they now seem to be sticking at 12k. ABIT under 12k you're looking at higher mileage ones but I'd say 14-16k you can get some pretty good ones. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    How to select Exhaust Manifold

    Hi ladies and gentlemen new user but long time lurker and first post! I am considering getting my 86 supercharged but am actually a noobie when it comes to mods. I've done tonnes and tonnes of research often going back and forth with various bits and bobs but thought maybe its time I make a first post. Anyways, I'm looking at the Fensport site and looking at the exhaust manifolds from Cobra and Ace and there is a huge price difference. Here they are: Cobra: https://www.fensport.co.uk/parts/toyota/gt-86/zn6/exhaust-system/gt86-and-brz-cobra-4-1-uel-manifold/ - £705.60 Ace: https://www.fensport.co.uk/parts/toyota/gt-86/zn6/exhaust-system/ace-club-sport-400/ - £1558.80 Aside from the fact that the Ace manifold has an over pipe, essentially what would I be paying the extra £853.20 to get? and is it worth the premium? Ideally, I'd be keeping the car modest and not going too wild with power - below 300 bhp and using the car as a daily and just going on spirited drives. THANKS! MatrixProtein
