Justbutts

Finally its arrived apexi drop in panel filter

It comes from my surname Butterworth. Intial MJB and previous nicknames, butters, butts ect. Also its similar to what my dad and grandad had named their speed boats years ago. So its basically just me .

It will most likely end up on some bc coilovers as i had the apex/bc 5/4 comfy coilovers on my daily/trackday sx and i was happy with how they performed. B to G the nurburgring in 8.40 on road tyres on my nineth ever lap using those dampers on the sx

Thank you for the info lauren. I have heard reports of various makes of lowering springs that don't match the stock dampers very well and causing stock damper to fail.

As soon as the warranty has expired or come close i will lower it but i have 3 years 8 months left. And i have been told that suspension mods in particular void the warranty.

Good news is no rubbing on stock suspension and alignment

Stock wheel against new wheel Tyres on the 3sdm wheels are 225/40/18 michelin pilot sport 3 allround as these are the recommended minimum tyre size for a 8.5 rim.

Now i have never been a person for the stanced look as all my wheels before have been to optimise track use rather than looks. But i have done alot of research on the ft86club forums and found what i think is a close compromise. These were my choice, 18×8.5 et35 satin black 3sdm 0.01 all round.

So to add my own touch to my GT86 i ordered some new wheels

The journey begins Two weeks ago i bought my pearl white gt86 it hasn't been plain sailing but last week I finally picked her up. The problem was I requested the toyota garage looked for a year old low mileage pearl white with black half and half. A week later they rang me and i went to view the car. All the paperwork stated black half and half but when the car got there it actually had cloth interior . I still went to view the car running through the motions and trying to think how i could overcome the cloth issue. Once at the garage a soloution was put forward to me if i was genuinely interested into the car. I got the deposit out and said if this was the car it was supposed to be i would have put a deposit down on it today. Basically they arranged toyota uk to come and retrim the seats and fit the heater elements. They had some technical issues with the heated seat wiring so im still waiting for some parts from japan to arrive. I chose to pick up the car and take it back when when the parts arrive. What i now have is a 2013 pearl white GT86, 3981 miles black half and half leather alcantara with optional black leather arm rest and sat nav. It will be supercharged in the future but with over 3 years warranty still on the car I don't want to void it. I haven't turned any of the driver aids off as I plan to do some experience days and look into track v's oil issues before I give it ago in mine. Mark

Hi all After 10 years of Daily/Track 360bhp RWD Nissan 200sx S14a ownership, I have finally parted ways with my sx and look forward to a new begining with my GT86 Two weeks ago I had my first test drive in a manual red GT86 TRD in Poole. from the first test drive I knew the GT86 has the potential to do what I want with it in the future. I set matt (toyota sales man) the task of trying to find me a standard second hand low mileage manual pearl white with black half and half leather. A week later I got the call from matt saying they may have found me my car, it hasn't been plain sailing but long story short last week I finally picked up my GT86 its a 2013 pearl white GT86, black half and half leather with sat nav and 3981 miles on the clock from the initial week of driving yes it is underpowered compared to my old sx, but every time I get into it, it puts a massive smile on my face. it will be supercharged in the future but with over 3 years warranty still on the car I don't want to void it. I haven't turned any of the driver aids off as I plan to do some experience days and look into track v's oil issues before I give it ago in mine. Mark
