How to fill the arches without ruining the handling?
MikeB replied to Nicebiscuit's topic in Modifications
These are TSW 17 X 8 et35 spun forged with 225 advan 105s. Looked into lots of wheels and went for strength and lighter than standard. Has been dropped with different springs and alignment. -
Looks a good track and not done Bedford. Has anybody done track day there before? Noise limit 101db static 87.5 db drive by on there website.

Loved it round there on bike one of my fav's for pure speed flat out on R1. Was not really think about the noise issue but now you mention it.

Mine is 2014 with auto box and fitted with hks air filter, full milltek resonated with overpipe change. Remapped on rolling road with unleaded 204 bhp then run on vpower and remapped again 211bhp. Sorted torque curve which is what I wanted. Coming from biking back ground you always matched the fueling with your filter and exhaust for more power and always more power if run in properly. only way to know Lauren is get it mapped on the dyno by somebody you trust to do it properly as there's to many different opinions and also different dynos give different figures. But as you have you proven yours is making good power and is it worth spending the money for extra 10 bhp + !!....and you won the sprint champ against remapped cars!....

Northern Meet/Open Day @ Tuning Developments

I should of ran mine as it has been remapped on a dyno with hks filter and full milltek with overpipe. But mine is auto box and I wanted more torque and power smoothed out so its 211bhp (171 bhp @ wheels) 168.5 lb/ft and would of been interesting to see readings on different dyno. It seems that early ones have more power than 2013 onwards and but dyno time is best way to get remapped properly. -
Northern Meet/Open Day @ Tuning Developments

It was good day meeting people and seeing cars on dyno. M6 & M5 was a big Car park getting home but worth the trip up. -
I run Ferodo 2500 but have braided hoses with higher boiling point fluid. A lot more feel than standard but do squeak a little a low speed.

Brand New forged Advan GTs with Yokohama Tyres
MikeB replied to pwrout's topic in For Sale GT86 / BRZ Parts
Japshop in Preston sell 17 & 18" Advans for GT's and choice of designs. I nearly bought set of 17" X 8" forged but went for TSW spun forged as preferred the desgin and same weight. -
I will be at TD event on 1st and by all means have a look how it works. Lauren's been out in it with me and it's really easy to drive but I was used to motorbikes and throttle and main braking all done with right hand. Lever is static bolt under steering column and Rose jointed under dash to pedals as its still set up for people to drive normally. It was installed by local adaptions company who do all my cars and really great guys and know what they are doing. Cruise control stalk still there and switch maps with that as most programmed to this. Looking at suspension next and final drive gear to 4.67, so just doing a bit at a time to it as more enjoyable that way and can see the changes.

I upgraded to braided hoses (goodridge) plus higher boiling point brake fluid and 2500 pads. No fade with this set up and have not changed callipers or disc as they are working ok with current wheel and tyre set up 17x8 with advan 105s 225 y94 (stiffer side wall). Standard brakes do fade on track but I am heavy on brakes due to auto box as I am using hand controls so cannot use engine braking as much as I would like to. You don't get as much brake dust with these as EBC's.

You won't regret it, had mine just over a year and everybody's really helpful and loads of mods and advice. People still ask about the car as not many on the road and different to the German brigade!
