The colour really suits it. That's looking mint.

Honda however was pushing for track dominance as apposed to driver involvement, to pull that off they needed boost. However, I do agree the most logical option in terms of emissions is to turbo the car. Both Subaru and Toyota have never been shy of boost in the past. Curveball - The Yaris's 3 cylinder turbo has had a lot of investment to push it to the point it's at, it would be odd for it to only sit in that platform. Then again, the 4EFTE only made it into the Starlets and it depends on Subarus willingness to get it into the chassis. I may have had too much coffee prior to writing this post.

I assumed it could potentially add to the dampers total travel, as opposed to going straight to the bump stops but I was wrong 🤦♂️ Thanks for the info mate.

I've been considering the MP21s when I get back to the UK with the Raceseng rear top mounts and potentially running stock front top mounts... Is anyone running the extended rear top mounts with Ohlins on here? Could that potentially cure the lack of damper travel?

https://www.gpperformance.eu/parts-for-sale/gt86-brz/ Link to order the parts, they've got some interesting looking bits available tbh.

17/18 aim for Advans, some Volks, the Konig Freeform range, Enkei RPF1s etc. Some wheels such as the Gramlights are listed as being light but even in OEM sizes weigh more than the OEM wheelset ironically. Avoid Work wheels like the plague, they look lovely but they're boat anchors. The OEM wheels are surprisingly light for the dimensions/being OEM

Do you record the posctodes of past, present and planned future customers? If so, plot them and see their spread around the UK. If they're in an Excel/easily accessed format, you're welcome to PM them to me (sanitised) and it's a 5 minute job to see where your customers are based mate You've gave no indication as to the direction of the move, N/E/S/W which would also have a dink on clientel. Regardless though, the UK is tiny so I can't see it having a massive effect. If someone can't hack a 3 hour + drive they need to sort their priorities out -

I have to say, even though the Avo kit is the oldest on the market I think it's turbo placement is probably the best on the market. Albeit I'd be slightly concerned heading through standing water. It was a tough call between that and the Cosworth Supercharger for me, the only thing that swung me to Cosworth was the fact I'd never previously owned a SC car. Looks tidy mate. Just gave you a follow on IG

Sadly not mate, must have been 15/16 years ago I was doing that! Typing that's just made me feel real old real fast 😁

Used to put them together with a mate on the driveway when I was at school, if someone brought along the motor, the mounts and the Corsa we'd throw it in over a weekend for £300 I've not had an EP3, I've been out in a few and they always felt damn good but the DC2 had put me off VTEC for life 😣 I've a feeling I picked up a lemon with the DC2. Looked clean, had paperwork to back up everything but then imploded in every way shape and form it could. I don't think I'd pick up another though, VTEC is just like the biggest turbo lag known to man, followed by half the steam.

They're advertising these in my works cafeteria, I'll get a snap of the advert when I'm next in there if it's still up It does look like a weapon.

Worst Cars I've Driven; Bodged together Redtop Corsa B. The engine mounts were seemingly made of cotton wool and the battery shorted in the boot. It was picked up for parts, but it had been bodged together so badly the only thing really salvageable was the engine. Peugeot 208 1.0 Petrol... It felt like a liability at any junction. Motorway driving was horrendous. Worst Cars I've Owned; DC2 Integra (this was also one of the best cars I've driven, but we will come back to that). Fragile, in the time I had it it cracked a piston, the alternator exploded, the window fell into the passenger door, 2 weeks later into the drivers door, the engine was utterly hopeless unless you were 'on it' Mitsubishi Colt 1.6. Horrendous suspension. I really couldn't get on with the handling in the thing. Best Cars I've Owned; E36 M3 - track spec. I really loved that car. Sadly it's now in Russia, I sold it online and received the export paperwork a few weeks later. I half expected to see it rolling into Ukraine with a GPMG on the roof. Altezza RS200 (x2) - I had 2 at the same time, one I fitted with a GReddy Turbo kit (on my works car park) the other I used as a daily. Great chassis, great rev hungry BEAMS engine and the best indicator engagement I've ever felt. Clio 182 - Fantastic chassis, throaty engine and a solid reliable package throughout EP91 Glanza V - Owned 2, both were frantically quick. Primitive chassis lead to 'engaging' handling and the noise they make is fantastic. 1985 Honda Civic GT - At the time it was one of 3 left on the road in the UK. The first actively 'sporty' Civic and the first to be fitted with fuel injection. Cool little car. DC2 Integra - When you were on it, the engine went. The chassis was truly sublime, it pivoted around you and really felt like it was on it's toes. In some ways it reminds me of the BRZ. I've probably missed a few... I've had 40+ cars. But there we go.

Hello guys I seem to be one of the only people in the world with this headunit. The sound quality is great, as befitting a $1700 headunit, however, the interface is crap. The fit in the dash is faultless (which is another big plus, no adaptors required). The inbuilt NAV is laggy and for some bizarre reason, it's no idea what song/radio station it's playing. It picks a song off the top of its head and displays it on the screen. I'm contemplating either swapping out the whole headunit or upgrading the X901 to X902 spec with this kit; https://www.alpine.co.uk/p/Products/SingleView/X902D-EX It retails at approx $850 but with that, it upgrades the system to Android Auto Any opinions welcome, either for fitting this or skipping this entirely and replacing the whole thing.

Before you do set about pulling your stock snorkel off check this out https://www.aemintakes.com/dynocharts/AEM-41-1408-AITS.pdf You're probably better off replacing the intake before you replace the snorkel

It can be done by removing the bolts/push pins/that black plastic airflow thing securing the top of the bumper and bending it forward a hands width
