    Camber and general alignment

    I can't comment on that as I've got fully adjustable coilovers at the front and camber arms at the back, but I would imagine that the bolts and bushes allow for the same thing

    Camber and general alignment

    Unless you've seen them put it onto the Hunter (or equivalent) machine, I'd take it somewhere else that actually has this setup so you can see for yourself the end result

    Did you take it to a place with a proper alignment system like Hunter? This way you'll get a laser-guided printout of your settings, like this

    Hi from Chris Knott Insurance

    No worries just wondered why it was such a strict cut off as I hadn't seen that before

    Racing seats and harnesses

    Scrap that, they've only got 2 of the seats I want to try available. Heading up to GSM Performance in Nottingham if they've got more options in stock for me to try out

    Hi from Chris Knott Insurance

    Can I ask why not more than 100hp over stock? Rules a few of us out with turbos and superchargers

    Racing seats and harnesses

    GSM do a package with Takata harnesses http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/takata-race-toyota-gt-86-bucket-seat/prod_4336.html But I'm not a fan of the seat I'm so picky! Heading up to Grand Prix Racewear tomorrow to try out some seats. I'm stuck between about 3 Sparco's, 2 Cobra's and 2 Corbeau's

    Oooooh and they've got a VAT free sale this weekend... I like the look of the Sparco seats. From what I can see there is no real difference between the main manufacturers in terms of safety or compatibility, so it kinda of comes down to looks and price I'd love a set like these with the side head rests, but apparently they're not road legal due to blocking your blind spot So I think it comes down to something like these 2

    Racing seats and harnesses

    Next year I'll be using the car mainly for track stuff, with a new job hopefully on the horizon that gives me a company car, I won't need to drive the 86 everywhere unless I want to I think I need to go sit in some seats. Corbeau aren't too far from me, down on the coast in Hastings. GSM performance have a wide range of seats but they're up in Nottingham which is about 3 hours from me

    Didn't even think about weight saving with the new seats, a good point As far as I know, there is no law in the UK saying you can't have a cage in a road car. Look at the Meganne 225 that comes with a cage as standard. Yes it's designed to be used on the track but is still a road legal car out of the factory The OEM seats don't hold me in place on the track, so it's time to upgrade and it's not something I'll be doing cheaply, but just don't want to bankrupt myself I can't strip the rear seats out as I use them to put bits on when driving such as bags and helmet if I'm going to a show and the boot is full. Plus it would put me into the pro class off TSS if I stripped them out and I'm not going up against Adrian to come 2nd every time!

    I've seen some of the Corbeau and Cobra models that come in fixed or reclining, so look almost the same apart from the mechanism obviously. Hope I can find something I like in both variations Excuse my ignorance, but "submarining"? Doesn't sound good, but what is it? I felt myself moving around a lot in my seat at Rockingham for Japfest 2, now that I'm really confident in what the car can do in the bends I feel I need a lot more support than the OEM seats offer

    Tuning Developments GT86 Turbo 'TD86'

    Probably a silly question but how are the brakes Mike? Would like to compare to my setup if possible somehow?

    Camber bolts?

    Definitely, why would you do 1 axle but not the other?
