GT-Eighty-Chris 17 Report post Posted July 4, 2017 High flow cat pipe from cobra has arrived. Will be fitting it this weekend all things equal so will get a video as soon as possible! Got a few more bits of bling to add to the engine bay to so picture coming but for now just quickly fitted this today, Mishimoto black chrome gear shifter. I just need something to cover that white plastic bit the reverse cap goes over. 1 Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT-Eighty-Chris 17 Report post Posted July 9, 2017 A few minor things today. An oil and filter change to get the red TRD filter placed and removal of the sound tubing. Once I have a spare moment I'll have the high flow pipe in place and the blue lightweight water pump and alternator in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bfranklyn86 52 Report post Posted July 16, 2017 How are you finding that cobra 4-1 manifold? It's quite well priced compared to many manifolds, and U.K. made. And, does it give the UEL or EL sound..... I would expect more EL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GT-Eighty-Chris 17 Report post Posted July 23, 2017 Big week for the car. Monday seeing if I can fix the rattling and buzz from the exhaust myself Wednesday driving up to Sheffield to have Cobra fix the exhaust Thursday remap with Horsham Developments (ECUTEK) Friday window tints! Sunday beging a five day Europe road trip! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted July 23, 2017 Exciting stuff I don't think many have tried Horsham Developments, let us know how you get on. They did some work on my brothers 350Z, no complaints from him. Although little confused with your Monday and Wednesday plan, you're going to fix the exhaust on Monday and then get Cobra to fix the exhaust on Wednesday? or am I reading that wrong?

The key word is 'try' ! We think we've fitted correctly but the guy who fitted it wants to see if he can save me a trip to Sheffield so is looking at it Monday. I may still go any way just so they can confirm all is well if I do manage to fix it. Tints are with AutoAsylum who are chargin. £165 all in and I choose the shade when I arrive. HD are charging £549 including the ECUTEK licence and a duno before and after the custom map. Just in case people were thinking about this too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just in case people were thinking about this too Which windows you having tinted? as mine was £120 for the 3 rear windows. I think £549 is about the same as others. Fensport website is saying £528 and that's without dyno runs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to hearing how you get on and seeing some charts. Yes he was saying on the phone when I booked that a lot of these cars as stock at actually around 195bhp and are tuned to a real 205bhp. It's all relative though the feeling is still the same. Im really looking forward to seeing if my intake kit and Cobra exhaust system including manifold have done anything to the stock bhp. I'll report back in a frenzy on Thursday I'm sure 😂 1 Stutopia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GT-Eighty-Chris 17 Report post Posted July 29, 2017 Okay, so if you go to my instagram I've uploaded a video of my exhaust. It's better through speakers: www.instagram.com/cjkilworth Firstly, the exhaust is fixed and sounding superb, fantastic service from Cobra Sport! Secondly, the remap is done. Wow! What was interesting is they said every stock GT86 dyno's at 180bhp and their turbo charged one was 178bhp when they got it. My first dyno run was 195bhp and they remapped to an easy 204.7 ironing out the torque dip and give me a few modes including launch control. More info on my instagram ^. All work done my Horsham Developments who were phenomenal and knew their stuff! Thirdly, windows tinted by Auto Asylum in Swindon and they incredible, really tidied up the car!

GT-Eighty-Chris 17 Report post Posted September 16, 2017 Okay so! The engine bay was making the famous cricket noises so Fish Brothers Swindon replaced the fuel pump under warranty and is all fixed. Someone reversed into my front wing so £350 later I have a new one painted and fitted. Previous owner put lowering springs on which - despite the ride - I love however I lost a fight to a curb so my front bumper is being resprayed next week too. Red brake callipers, lightweight pulleys, and a surprise all to come! Finally, my car is on the Cobra Sport stand 1st October at Silverstone so if any of you are there say hi! 1 Sighe98 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
