My 86 is sadly long gone otherwise I would have jumped at the chance. Good luck on your hunt

Dear all, 
As many will know, Rob, Keith, Alec and I setup this club back in April 2013. Many years have passed and we now find ourself in the situaiton where we would like to put out to find replacement directors. 
Alec has been lost to Elite Extreme, Rob sold his car years ago and Keith is finding himself far less involved with the club than he used to. I as many know have a new car on order, a GR Yaris, but I am happy to stay on as I have so many friends I've made through the club and am still around for day to day running of the club. I also want to ensure continuity. 
What does being a director involve? 
We are directors of a not for profit limited company. This means that as a director you have limited liability in the unlikely event that some disgruntled person decides to sue the club, it means they cannot sue you directly. Important for your own protection, unfortunately. 
I want to see new directors, for which there are three available position, take the club forward. We have a new GT86 to look forward to next year and it's fair to say that the club has grown very well and we are well established in the show and motorsport scene. 
It will mean that a director (though you can delegate to committee members) will need to take care of the club accounts and paypal accounts and we will also need someone to cover the club clothing side and the like. Further work is needed with affiliates to ensure they pay their dues as we rely on trader fees and membership to pay for the running of the club. 
I welcome any questions and I would say it's very rewarding sometimes. I am also very proud of what we have achieved in the last seven years and I'd love to see it continue.

Don't do it, they're not as good.

I want commission for use of that photo! 

Hi,

I discovered the alarm control panel in the glovebox today, and the post on here describing how to turn on anti-hijack doors. This inspired me to find more codes. It turns out the alarm is a Sigma S32, shared with the 2014 impreza. Codes to play with (AT YOUR OWN RISK) are below. I haven't tried all of these (yet!):

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR PIN BEFORE YOU TRY THE ANTI KEY THEFT CODE - YOU NEED THE PIN TO START THE CAR!

(Hope that was clear! my mate's scooby was dead for 2 days until he got hold of the previous owner and his PIN!)

Thanks mate, the standard strap is annoying me. It will be a shame to cover the exhibition back up with a NATO/Zulu but looks great on your watch

18mm. Can't see a 20mm fitting to be honest

Found it!

Awesome thanks @deacon well impressed as t was only £65... crazy cheap for an automatic
 
Finally in my 86

Just realised I bought the same watch as Deacon! Looks sound on the NATO, think I need a new strap. Where did you get it from?

My latest purchase an Omolagato Hesketh Racing chronograph.

 
And not actually in the 86 but I changed the strap on my Seiko 5 to a NATO strap which matches the car interior beautifully 😂

BP Ultimate is 97 unless they've changed recently. I tend to avoid it as it used to be a dirty word on scoobynet when I had an Impreza. Given the amount of import Impreza's that had blown up using it there was a lot of suspicion it was often somewhat less than 97 octane.

Which torque theme is that? Looks good!

I've just taken an Ark Grip off, will be popping it up for sale next couple of days.
Sounded great, but was just too loud for me with a TD UEL manifold.

So yesterday I had installed a cat back Scorpion exhaust, resonated. 
 
The exhaust itself looks great, the sound is very subtle! 
 
At low revs to rumbles, at high revs it doesn't get too loud and it doesn't have any drone.  
 
What I will say is if you're looking for a loud exhaust then this one isn't for you, it's much louder than stock, but can go quiet at points.
 
I personally love it  Picture attached from behind 
 
 
 
 

Using a magnetic mount so I can remove when parking up etc. Works great!

I can now confirm that the Stoptech BBK and street pads does not squeak. They do however, stop. Hard.

If the OP hasn't been here in 2 weeks I think the thread is fair game..

That doesn't look like it's working or logging correctly. You should be seeing 0-40 degrees-ish on both intake and exhaust.

This what I use, works great engine was cold just on the drive ambient readings.

It makes drying much easier but will not prevent a degree of water marks if you haven't dried post wash.
Think of it as a quick cheat rather than a wax and sealant replacement

The ideal is the electric turbocharger, F1 style, but we are a way off those being available off the shelf.
Theory goes:
 
Split a turbo in half, add electric motor instead of center bearings. These are larger and thus have packaging issues.
Turbo is then spun electronically to provide power at WOT where it would usually lag, IE low rpm WOT situations.
Over a certain RPM, exhaust gasses are sufficient to spin exhaust turbines at required RPM, motor switches to generator, being spun by the exhaust gasses whilst also transferring drive to cold side, providing boost, while refilling electronic anti-lag. Also the scavenging seems to remove the need for a wastegate, as they all seem to run without one?
The challenge is packaging this system, increased strain on the engine from  "1bar" manifold pressure almost instantly whenever the throttle pedal is touched, and the heat from the hot side on the electronic core.

 
Essentially one up from an electric supercharger as this does energy scavenging too, creating electricity AND boost from waste gasses.

Well, as I've got the version without the starter button I have a little more room. So I use it for my phone, a small suitcase, back issues of National Geographic 1977-1982, and a portable barbecue. And there's a bit at the back I sub-let to a lodger.
