I am in the middle of installing the reverse camera from Fensport. The instructions do not make much sense and after searching appears to be for an older set up. I have connected the harness to the back of the HU and all cables. I have run the cables to the boot. I cannot figure out what to do with the two red cables randomly sticking out. And the long black/red cable that runs with the video cable. They have no connectors on. What do i do with these? Also where do i attach the earthing point to? The cable is not too long and i cant see where to put it. Any advice would be welcomed

Fensport are doing what seems to be good prices on the Cobra exhaust system. Does anyone have one or have any thoughts? Difference between resonated and non resonated?

2.5 years ago i bought a 62 plate GT86 with in Silver 50k on the clock. I wanted a change and to be a bit different, plus i live in a city centre (Norwich) so i went for an Auto. Usually I'd avoid AT on most cars but I heard this box was actually pretty good with intelligent down shifting and whatnot. I paid 15k in the end (only 6k over original car budget). The car was advertised much cheaper than all the others at the time due to mileage, so the perfect culprit for a project build. The car also had a good service record (RRG Macclesfield & Bolton) and no initial issues besides an exhaust rattle that was fixed at 10k miles. As this would be my first build i did a lot of reading up on the car and various mods, and spent a good amount of time with it stock so that i could get to know the vehicle as a daily, and decide whether i was happy with my decision before i put any money into it! Flash forward one year and i had my first full service to take care of. Thanks to lurking on these forums and reading up about their race car, i then decided to pay the guys at Fensport a visit, only an hour down the road so would be rude not to . I had the service done with no issues, turns out this was the first time they had done a 60k service, so i was delighted to be the guinea pig! Everything went without a hitch. All the guys are super friendly and enthusiastic. First impressions is this is how a business should be run! I discussed with them my plan for NA tuning + FD mod. Also opted for the HKS panel filter and HKS spark plugs for the service. All good stuff! The plan now was as follows: 4.67 FD, manifold, remap and license. - FD for torque/improved 0-60 - Remap + HKS EL catless manifold to address the torque dip - Suspension to improve stability and handling This is the arguably the best bang-for-buck option and should be the go-to for anybody who wants a relatively low cost transformation. The next step was going to be new wheels, rubber and suspension. Happy with the service and eager to do more, we booked in the above for a couple months time, but unfortunately i had some personal issues pop up and we had to cancel . Turns out i would not get around to doing anything with the car until 2017! February: During February i decide to start looking around again for wheels as i can't stand the OEM any longer, that and I'd need wider rubber for more power in future anyway. Granted Silver is not a popular car color choice but it actually has potential to look really clean if you pair it with the right wheels & mods. This is by no means an easy task, anything glossy outside of black clashes in my opinion and most colors/finishes just don't sit right. Black is also just a little too dark in contrast to the silver imo and looks better on a black or grey car. After plenty of poking around i realize that I'm pretty much limited to Matte Gray, Gunmetal could in theory be an alternative option but can look cheap and tacky on some wheels in my opinion (Rota). I also saw a some forgestar in a dark midnight blue that looked really mean with a silver BRZ, so that color might be an option some day if i get bored. After a fair few restless nights browsing wheels and fitments i stumble across this on the usa forums: Gram Lights 57C6 18x9.5 +40 'Matte Graphite' Just what i was looking for. Looks like he decision has been made. However, i contacted the UK distributor only to find that these have been discontinued! I then spend a good couple weeks (!) poking around and come across a small lesser-known company in the USA and look what they have: Vordoven Forme 6 18x95 +38! There is a god! A very cruel one who will later sting me roughly £500 on shipping and fees . Although i decided it was worth it when i stumbled across a thread where a guy tried out four different made in usa 'replica' wheels over the course of a year and voted these to be the best by a long shot and turns out the weight isn't far off the Rays either, practically the same in fact. Also no cheap Taiwanese jobby here so i was sold. March: Wheels & Yokohama Advan Sport V105 245/35 square setup are ready to go on. Luckily I managed to take this all to the fitting place in one trip! As you can see below four new tyres and wheels of this size will only just fit in the car. TA-DA! All balanced and fitted by the guys at STS Tyre pros in Norwich, doesn't it look fresh. I can confirm that this size and offset will only just fit without rubbing on stock suspension, if it wasn't for the mild tyre stretch the front would most definitely rub against the spring. Also worth noting that the wheel caps actually match the color of the body paint too which is a nice touch. April: Suspension time.. So i did a lot of research here- I wanted a nicely balanced & silent coilover setup for fast road & track at a reasonable price. I also wanted a mono-tube damper setup rather than a twin tube, plenty of details online between the pros and cons for both types. The Tein Flex A was my second choice as it was a twin tube. I ended up opting for a set of MeisterR ZetaCRD+ mono-tube dampers and an Eibach rear LCA kit. If you want to go a little more track-focused then heavy duty anti-roll bars would compliment this setup very well, and i will be doing so in good time. So with these coilovers the spring rate is a bit more sensible than that of other popular solutions. With front at 5kg/mm, rear 4kg/mm These are designed to be a good fast road setup with enough damping adjustment for occasional track day use. Front top mount is spherical bearing with camber adjustments. The rear top mount is rubber insulated press steel to reduce possible road noise. These are 32 stage damping adjustable mono-tube dampers (compression & rebound combined). The spring rates of the ZetaCRD+ come out at 5/4 is because of the vehicle dynamic calculation that they do. On the GT86, when you are on the low end of spring rates for fast road, a 5/5 setup is a bit too close between the front and the rear so you could hit a harmonic frequency. The choice then is either 5/4, or 6/5. So they opted for the 5/4 in the end because it suits the requirements of a balanced fast road & track car better. Pictures of them fitted on the car below, 5mm pre-load at the rear and id say 35-40mm drop all round, i would not go lower as i've already had a few scrapes on speed bumps . Camber at approx -1.5 all round definitely gives the desired aesthetic (yes i do need SS lines). : It has totally transformed the ride! Tight, responsive, nimble and composed through the twisties. Feels like a totally different car in many respects now, the grip is insane on NA but doesn't feel bogged down at all once aligned correctly. For those worried about running a desired 9.5J aesthetic due to weight, just do it. I read a really informative article where different sizes and weights were tested and there was literally a couple tenths of a second difference on a track at most, and i know that most of you wont be building a fully stripped out race car ;). I'm running damping at 18 clicks from soft front and rear, 16 was a little too soft. Even though it is stiffer and lower I find the ride to be just as comfortable as stock in my opinion. Everything that I was told was correct, these are the coilovers to go for if you want to upgrade for occasional track without sacrificing too much comfort on the road. Thoroughly impressed. If you have any further questions be sure to hit up Jerrick at MeisterR, he knows his stuff. Coming Soon: FI and more!

Purchased used GT86 and found out next day that previous owner had had vehicle remapped using Fensport Ecutek software. It was set on Map 2 and I have since switched it to Map 4 (non-super unleaded option). 1) I assume that having used half tank of standard unleaded petrol whilst in Map 2 setting will not have caused damage/ created issues?! 2) I have no wish to bear cost of super unleaded (sorry). Am I better of just keeping in Map 4, or go back to standard "factory setting" Map (and if the latter, how is this achieved?) 3) I presume previous owner will have voided 5 year Toyota warranty by remapping?

Hi everyone, Thought to start a thread where we can keep all the Avo news and info in one place Starting off with some great news .... new pricing for 2015 has been announced, reducing prices by approx 10% making the kits even better value Stage 1, Non Ceramic is £2799 + vat Stage 1, Ceramic is £2,999 + vat Stage 3, Billet Ceramic is £3,349 + vat Stage 4, Large Billet Ceramic is £3,699 + vat Stage 1, is capable of 260 - 290 bhp depending mainly on exhaust flow and choice of actuator. A stock exhaust will be around 260 and a nice 2.5" exhaust will max out around 290bhp. Maximum flow for this turbo is 380bhp. Stage 2, is simply the same as stage 1, but adds a 3" exhaust for higher output, 280 - 320bhp is possible depending on tune. Maximum flow for this turbo is 380bhp. Stage 3, uses a "Billet" compressor wheel in the same housing as stage 1, the billet wheel provides approx 20% increase in flow. We rate this set up as 280 - 440. This is the kit we used throughout 2014 on our GT86R, making 421bhp on stock engine and around 460 on a built engine. Maximum flow for this turbo is 470bhp. Stage 4, uses a larger Billet compressor wheel and larger turbine wheel with internal changes to the turbo for increased flow. Also included is larger intercooler and up pipe. Rated at 400bhp upwards. We will be testing this early next year and our target is 520 - 550bhp. Kit specifications are available on our website. Other Products Advised for all turbo kits: Breather System (199 + vat) 3 bar map Sensor & overboost fuel cut (89.95 + vat) Optional Upgrades for all kits: Electronic Boost Control (150 + vat) This includes the EBC valve, wiring and map upgrades using 10 custom race rom maps to allow closed loop boost control, boost is switchable via cruise control stalk and both throttle angle and gear dependant. Temperature safety maps are also included and boost is only allowed to increase if oil, water and air temps are within safe parameters. Dump Valve: There are a few options here, you can use an OE recirculating type available for £20 off ebay/scrappy etc. Or we have the Avo polished alloy one which can be configured as recirculating (quiet) or as a 50/50 for the whoosh! High Capacity Air Intake Kit Avo have developed their own airbox kit, crafted in carbon fibre and housing an induction type cone filter. The airbox includes a intake duct for cold air supply. More details soon. Exhausts: Avo exhausts are available in 2.5" & 3" depending on power goals, they are also available with or without cat, with or without resonators depending on exhaust note required. Anything else? Don't forget the stock clutch is all but useless when turbocharging, it is only just possible to use with the lowest spec turbo and even then its marginal! So factor in for an uprated clutch. Fitting Costs Turbo Kit Basic - install and map £750 + vat Turbo Kit + EBC, Clutch, Exhaust - install and map £995 + vat We'll update this thread with further news, pics and specs as we get them Any questions fire away Best Regards Adrian

Hiya people! So I was perusing on one of the many websites that do modifications & tunes to our lovely vehicles and something caught my eye with the ECU N/A reflash, "What if there's a recall or a warranty claim pending? If required the ecu can be reflashed back to standard, once recall work is complete, the tuned map can be re installed." Now I may have missed a post on the forum/ I have little knowledge in these things atm ( I am a newbie ) but was wondering has anyone done this and has everything been fine with the warranty claim etc? reason I ask is I am looking towards the not so distant future in potentially getting some upgrades done with respect to the exhaust and intake that from what i read do merit a tune, and i don't particularly want to risk the engine warranty being voided due to the tune. Also has anyone got any experience with the Cosworth Stage 1.0 upgrade? If so how is it? Cheers in advance!

Hi all, I'll be at Fensport tomorrow midday if anyone is in the area and fancies a catch up/drive/cuppa etc.

We had a great day out at Ecutek today, thank you for fitting us in for a power run this afternoon Well pleased with the result ..... 421bhp and 350ft/lb torque You can see by the torque curve we are feeding the boost in progressively and running a maximum of 1 bar on the completely standard engine! 108 ron race fuel is used to prevent det. Using the Avo Billet Turbo kit and our own custom 3" Blitz exhaust along with Blitz panel filter in the standard airbox! and our fuel pump and 540cc injector upgrade pictures are better than words ..... I think you'll agree a very nice result And a big thank you to Avo, Ecutek and all our sponsors and supporters Best Regards Adrian

Hi All, A *little* update on what's been happening to our GT86R this year (for those that haven't seen it at BHP or TSS) After finishing 2nd overall in the Toyota Sprint Series last year, Team Fensport have been very busy over the winter "off season". The aim was always to make the car significantly faster at the end of each year so changes for the 2014 season had to include more grip before more power!! The target? to get on top of the GT4's!!! First and most obvious is the fabulous Blitz Aerospeed wide arch kit as used on the Blitz Racing project Time Attack car and also Ken Nomura's Blitz Drift car in Japan. The kit was shipped over and we were so pleased with the perfect fit straight from the box! The Blitz kit allows for an 120mm track width on the rear and 110mm on the front. The arches have been cut out to provide more space for the new Rota 18 x 9.5" wheels which are clad in 265 wide Toyo R888's all round. Additional aero parts include custom front and rear canards, TRD aero fins, a higher rear wing and custom rear diffuser. Blitz Aerospeed test fitting The front bumper is a beautiful moulding, fits better than stock! and also can work with or without the front arch extensions Rear arch extension After test fitting the arch extensions we could cut out the original arches to make room for the 9.5 x 18 Rota Grid wheels You can see just how wide the 265 Toyo R888's are here The front end! Using an Mishimoto alloy rad and our own intercooler, we also added a modified front alloy bar (from a Lexus IS200) and have custom made air deflector shields and air intake. Before graphics Ready for graphics Graphics were designed in house by our expert graphic's designer who sometimes doubles up as a map man, mechanic, chief fixer, agony aunt, dogs body etc You have to have a plan! With the new found grip the team have also increased spring rates on the BC Racing external resevoir coilovers. Also upgraded is the Avo turbocharger to the billet version which offers the same incredible response alongside a 20% increase in airflow. The car has also been re mapped using Ecutek software to get the most out of the 108 ron race fuel, along with electronic "in gear" boost control which helps with traction in the lower gears. An M Factory Carbon propshaft has been fitted to reduce rotational mass. This is a prototype one and full details will be published shortly. 2014 Tech Spec Engine: Standard internals.

Hi everyone, Busy workshop again this week with turbo install no 7 on this beauty Completely standard car .... Dave preparing the manifold and turbo Don't worry your in good company This particular install is a base stage 1 on auto transmission
