I remember you were worried about it being louder than your Miltek set up and I said it was quieter. Jeff brought a meter to a meet and tested Mikes and my set up and TD system was quieter.

Unfortunately I am still not well enough to come to the meet this morning. Have a good breakfast and meet.

There will be a few of us with different systems and combinations of manifolds with different air filters. I have Tuning Developments Equal Length Manifold with Milltek Overpipe and Tuning Developments resonated System. TD’s systems are very good and made by JP for them and a lot of people are now switching over to them.

Put me down as missed lots of events and hardly used GT since I have been off

I cannot comment on 4.88 as do not know anybody who has had it fitted but 4.67 works fine and you would see the change. Mike has MFactory 4.67 listed on his website and I have not had any problems with mine and would do this mod first as it makes a big difference. You will notice a slight wine as it’s a semi helical cut gear but it’s not intrusive. Have a chat with Mike as he knows my car and can advise you.

TD did my auto last year and had it a couple of times to get the map right for auto’s. Only 3 maps, one for economy/service, one for road and last one for sharper throttle for track. We did find the car bogged down on full throttle below 2,000 rev’s and Mike managed to dial it out as best they could (I have to use hand controls so can’t keep foot on brake and plant foot on throttle). This is with there EL manifold and full resonated system apart from Milltek overpipe and very happy with results and ten times better than previous remap and system. I have also had rear diff ratio changed from 4.1 to 4.67 which makes a big difference to the way the car drives and would recommend as the first mod to an auto. It lifts the revs in each gear and makes cruising on motorway a lot better and only drop a few mpg.

I have a BMW 1 series xDrive and for snow and off road you turn off traction control which BMW recommend. I have not been stuck in mud (I work in building industry and on site a lot) and had no issues in the snow. I had Continental winter tyres on my previous Beemer and they worked really well with no problems. Might pop out and try snow Mode in GT but tyres on wheelchair don’t grip to get to it lol!

I agree with Kev and might be worth going to some club meets so see how cars sit/look before you buy. lots of pics on the forum of meets as well to get some ideas. I run TSW Nurburgring 17x8 et 35 which are spun forged with 225 Advan 105’s fitted. I liked the look of them and were cheaper than Rays etc at the time. MSW are made by OZ are nice option if on more of a budget.

Litre is enough and had my fluid changed at recent service/mot and had been in for couple of years with no problems. SRF comes in litre bottles so initially looks mega expensive but not that much more when you need two bottles of 500 ml from other brands. At the end of the day we’re only talking of about £20 more than other brands

Lauren, ask a Richard how much he can get Castrol SRF for, it’s worth it and comes in litre bottle and won’t need bleeding or topping up after events. If your spending a lot of money on the upgrade then a few more pounds won’t hurt and you will have a great set up.

I use Castrol SRF as it’s higest wet boiling point of 270 which is higher than most of the other makes dry boiling point. It’s expensive though but shopping around you can get it for mid £40 per litre. Used Castrol bike racing and kept with it. Opie Oils have a good range of manufactures with specs and prices. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-450-car-brake-fluid-clutch-fluid.aspx

I have had no issues with DS2500 and run braided hoses with Castrol SRF. As you know I need a lot of feel with my brakes and had no problems on or off track but AP set up looks good and very tempting.

Link to EBC website might be of interest as they list various combinations of disc and pads. https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/toyota/gt86/2.0-(UK-Spec)-2012-/55382

Sorry I did not attend Will totally got my days muddled up as it was my wife's Uncles Funeral service and wake today and I had in my head it was tomorrow. hope food was nice and a good turn out.

Kev, I left mine in manual mode to begin with just to get the damping how I wanted it. I then read through the manual a few more times and used the other modes with speed and G settings. After talking with Lauren and changing from Teins base settings it does work really well. I have three settings I tend to use and my wife can tell the difference and she is not a petrol head. It's a case of trusting the system and let it do what it's designed to do.

Adrian Flux offer trackday insurance per event but was more expensive than Greenlight per event but cheaper than other companies. A F's competition insurance can be included for the year and three levels on value of insurance which was for personal injury. Hope that helps

I was looking for insurance had a qoute from them and they were very help following recommendation from Keith. Which included modifications etc but I did ring round a few of the the other insurers who offer modification insurance. I ended up going with Adrian Flux as they were the same as Greenlight price and included breakdown recovery and they can includ track day and competition insurance where Greenlight only offer track day. They included all modifications and was fully comp for two drivers and usual two week cooling off period if you find a better quote. They also offer club discount and don't restrict cover up to car value of £20,000. If there are any other wheelchair users on the forum they also cover wheelchair damage/replacement in the event of accident plus hand control adaptations to vehicle. I would of gone with Greenlight as they very helpful and the cheapest but Adrian Flux matched and included additional items.

I am just having my fluid changed with mot and service next month. I use Castrol SRF as it has the highest wet boiling point of 270 degrees C, dry is 310 degrees C. Recommend change fluid every 18/24 months. Its expensive but worth it and have not had any brake fade with braided hoses and Ferodo 2500 pads all round.

I had my maps changed as my car bogged down below 2000 revs on full and part throttle even with car warmed up. Mike and Nick sorted it but still does a little bit but not as bad but just have to drive round it.

Yes it was on Steve's car. It was remapped by Litchfield as he has a Tomei UEL manifold and Scorpion exhaust. Standard filter as he has been looking at different one such as K&N typhoon, Injen etc.

Sounds good, count me in

It was good meet and thank you to they guys at Coordsport for putting on the event😀

Thanks Kev, I still have original system and can fit mid pipe with cat when required
