Basied on the varis arising-II hyper narrow gt wing, bought to see how it would look on my car before committing to by the real varis wing. Glad I did as I didn't like the look on my car. Not sure the brand as it was just sold as varis style. Its also unpainted. Still got the box it came in so happy to ship at buyers cost or for it to be collected. SOLD

Removed from my car as I have installed a cold air intake now so have no need for this part. Its in good condition and comes with the metal plug for the intake resonator.Unfortunately this sale does not include the rubber cap cover for the sound generator Delete, however a similar part can be source from a hardware store. SOLD.

Drop in K&N air filter, been in my car for 2 years around 10,000 miles. It was removed and cleaned every oil change so has been cleaned two times. Second time was after i removed it to sell. Still got plenty of life left in it. Removed as I have now installed a cold air intake, so no longer required. It has been re-oiled and sealed in a food bag so is read to drop straight back into the car.Note was cleaned using genuine K&N cleaner and oil. The detergent was washed out from the air flow side only so not to force the dirt into the filter. It was oiled from the air inlet side only to prevent oil transfer onto the MAF sensor.

Had these lowering springs on my car for around a year. Only removed as I have upgraded to coilovers. Lowered the car about a inch, good handling never had them bottom out ect. Fairly easy to install. They have a bit of surface rust on the lower portion of the fronts, nothing that will effect the spring however. Happy with either collection or shipping at buyers expense. SOLD

SOLD Grey first gen (12-16) rear bumper for sale. In good condition no large scuffs or marks. Probably not in good enough condition to put straight onto a grey car but if you're looking for a bumper replacement then this is a good option.

Should the car height be level or higher in the rear?
Lordyboi posted a topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
Just switched from lowering springs to coilovers, I liked the height that my car was with lowering springs so set the coilovers to the same hight but think it needs to drop a little more in the rear. I had the Eibach pro lowering kit which is 25mm drop in the front and 20mm drop in the rear. Is there a reason Eibach choose to set spec their rear springs 5mm higher? -

Lordyboi replied to Lordyboi's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
I measured the car height before the change then set the coilovers the same and the rear was 20mm higher then the front (66cm from ground to top of fender arch in the rear and 64cm from ground to the top of the fender arch in the front) but im now thinking that maybe the fender arch is higher in the rear maybe? The spring rate of my coilovers is also 6kg in the rear with 5kg in the front so I guess a stiffer spring on the lighter end of the car could be holding the rear up giving the illusion of a larger gap, but the standard spring rate is 1kg more in the rear as well so this should look the same as stock give or take. -

I have the verus front splitter already installed so I can angle it down a little more to counter the change in rake in regards to air flow under the car. -

SOLD - 200mm 7" Kenwood head unit (built for toyotas) + kenwood CMOS reverse camera
Lordyboi posted a topic in For Sale GT86 / BRZ Parts
Selling my head unit as I have updated to a joying unit. This is the Kenwood DNX716WDABS which has now been discontinued but was originally sold for UK/EU markets. Included in the sale is a kenwood CMOS-230 reverse camera. I have made this a completely plug and play kit, the only wire that will need to be attached is the red reverse trigger wire which will need to be connected to the green reverse light wire in the boot. The rest of the reverse camera power is taken from the head unit power and ground has a connection plug for easy install. Camera can be viewed while driving though the menu buttons. Reverse camera connection is small enough to fit through the boot lid cable grommet so camera can be fitted on the boot lid trim piece. The head unit can have a custom background displayed, as shown. Will fit the GT86/BRZ head unit slot perfectly as shown. Usual kenwood build quality and sound quality. I have included a photo of all the harness connected together. Weblink to kenwood site for full specs: https://kenwood-electronics.co.uk/car/nav_mm/nav/DNX715WDAB/?view=details SOLD -
So will be tuning my car soon after fitting my UEL manifold and obviously more power & torque is the primary goal but is there anything else worth asking for that others have had tuned? I've read tuning out the cold start is common, but is this safe for the engine? I was under the impression that its just to help the cat get up to temperature quicker but I could be wrong? I also read somewhere that some people ask for the throttle changed to be more linear but again I could be wrong. Any advice/recommendations would be magic!

i'll have a read cheers

thanks for the advice, I'll have to make my mind up what 4 I will find useful. I only fill up with 99 and i have no problem with heel toe provided im not wearing boots. Could you explain these in regards to our car: Auto Blip, Launch Control, Flat Foot Shift? I was under the impression that flat foot shifting wasn't all that useful outside of a turbo car to keep the turbo spooled up between shifts? but I could be wrong

yeh my mates company no longer has access to a rolling road so said they couldn't help me, after calling a few local places (some of which had never heard of a GT86 which I found odd as I didn't think our cars were that obscure haha), so decided that a place that specialises in our cars would probably be the best bet, luckily abbey is only an hour and a half drive from me, just waiting to hear back as to when they can fit me in. I have been looking into Ecutek, can some one who has had a Ecutek tune tell me if you have to leave the Bluetooth dongle in the obd2 port whilst you use the car? or is it only used during the tuning process and then is no longer required to be plugged in? I only ask as the Just Gerald Projects gauges I have in stalled require the obd2 port to work.
-
yeh not a problem, I have the forester oil to water cooler so it gets the engine oil up to temp quicker and I also have the just Gerald projects cluster gauges so i can see when both water and oil are up to temp before going WOT

Thanks for the advice, my exhaust set up is or will be HKS UEL with sport cat, HKS over pipe, stock front pipe and Invidia q300 from there back. Currently just got the q300 installed and even thought its regarded as quieter then stock on cold start its still loud, so will defiantly be asking for it to be tuned out just wanted to ensure I wasn't harming anything lol, as for mot should be okay as I will still have two cats and i'll warm the car up before I drop it off. As for tuning, my mate is part of a local tuning company so will be taking it him for the tune, im not sure if they will use ecutek or not, just that its going on a rolling road. I'm not sure if its just my car or not but if im rolling in first, gear clutch up, no throttle and then i lightly press the throttle to increase speed the car will jolts forward as if I've jabbed the pedal with my foot, its not a massive jolt but enough for me it to feel it. kind feels like its giving me 15% power when i only requested 5% for example. This is why I was curious about a throttle mapping.

I'll take the boot matt if it doesn't sell, based just outside Portsmouth so can collect no problem

quick wheel question, will 18x8.5 44mm offset fit stock + lowering springs
Lordyboi posted a topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
I'm looking at getting a new set of lighter wheels for tack/street duty but like most of us I'm picky about style and what can still afford aha. I'm liking the look of the KONIG ampliforms but I'm unsure if the size I want will fit my car, I'm currently on stock dampeners with a 25mm drop on lowering springs (this is unlikely to change) so will a 18x8.5 44mm offset wheel hit the suspension at any point during its travel? I've had a look on https://wheel-it-fit.com/ and there is plenty of fender clearance but it only reports 2mm of suspension clearance. However what will fit in the real world is another story, 2mm clearance isn't a great margin aha. So does anyone run 18x8.5 44mm wheels on stock suspension that could advise me? On side note if anyone is running KONIG ampliforms on their car and can sent me side profile photo of the wheel on the car that would be brilliant as I like a little bit of concave to my wheel and want to see how much they concave in.
