More pics please Kev, how it mounts to floor and bottom mounts where belts fix too. Can you still drop back seats down?

HT Autos one Jeff. http://htautos.co.uk/product-category/gt86-frs/ I have been marking the sill and wanted one that would protect it without going for TRD style, plus if I cracked it, it was easier to replace.
-
Sounds good and add me on but might not have GT back as getting drivers side sill re sprayed from marks from wheelchair and lip body kit fitted
-
Exhaust back box has been changed and no extra brackets but beefed up welds. If it cracks again will be following up refund which I discussed with parts guy at Litchfield. Seems they have had trouble dealing with Milltek but issues have been resolved.
-
Surprise surprise my Milltek has cracked weld at muffler/backbox. So I will be on the phone to Litchfield for replacement on Tuesday morning!
-
No problems and working fine. Mike at TD was really impressed with box and I will be popping up to see him again as he wanted another play.

@S18 RSGRoss, I was going to organise a meet middle of Feb Saturday 18th and meet up at Tewkesbury at the Brewers Faye just off jct 9 M5 near Porsche Garage. Would you be up for meet?....say lunchtime
-
@MikeI spoke to Milltek today and they are aware of welds still cracking on the flexible pipe systems. All the new ones will still have the flexi joint and will also have an extra strengthening bracket. Since all the issues they have there own GT to run systems on and tested the 'new improved' system. I will let you know how get on when new system is fitted.

Welcome aboard Adam, there are a few of us the forum from Cheltenham and will be organising a meet soon, most likely a lunchtime get together. KW's are good and any advice on wheels there are plenty of threads with pics but best to see some in the flesh.

I will as not heard anything today and will follow up tomorrow as did not get chance with meetings. I went for EL manifold and really pleased with results as another 25bhp with 35lbft torque at 4000 rpm and 10bhp at top end. @Mike@TD.co.ukremapped to suit autobox and handcontrols, plus map for track and Toyota standard map. I have full system including overpipe.
-
I will be following this up with them on Monday as understand person who deals with this Is back from holiday. If I do manage a refund I will put Tuning Develpoments system on to match there manifold. I agree that it's not right that they are still cracking and would be instresting to see how many have been changed.

Ross I have spoken to Alex Jaskowski are we are happy to share/help with meets as we are based in Cheltenham and had a chat about possible meets in Bristol/Cotswolds/Malverns/Wales? From here there are some good routes down through to Abergavenny via Ross on Wye and could meet at the big carpark where the cafe is. I am going on tour of the Morgan factory fairly soon and I can ask about group booking if anybody would be interested.
-
Flexi section is in my Milltek and weld still cracked. Pictures are being sent to Milltek by Litchfield for replacement as flexi section was supposed to of sorted cracking problem.
-
Mike, it was April last year and has been noisy for a month or so and Mike at TD noted it and took pic when they did the manifold this week.
-
Looks great Ross, I have mine booked in at TD in between Xmas and New Year for there EL manifold and remap.

Guilty pleasures. What would you give up your GT86 for?
MikeB replied to Nicebiscuit's topic in Non GT86/BRZ General Chat
My work car is latest BMW 120d sport Xdrive with 295lb torque & 190bhp twin turbo matched to 8 speed auto. I can split drive 50/50, 60/40 or 80/20. As a point to point car it's amazingly fast especially in sport and sport + but it does not give you the same feeling as the 86. -
HI Will, sorry cannot make it today, Beemer broke down yesterday (drivetrain warning came and went into recovery mode) and picking back up today

When I followed Lauren and Mark in the AE you could see it rolling more in the rear so bigger ARB will help as Lauren said. When I changed back to standard ARB with new suspension it made a world off difference but I think the Litchfield was way to stiff and they were 24mm in diameter. I think whiteline vary between 16 to 22mm dependant what stiffness options people want. Having EDFC also helps the car being more balanced which is why wont notice the car rolling as much due to it adjusting the compression/rebound on the go.
