    Hey guys, 

     

    bought the HKS intake snorkle around 6 weeks ago for £160 + delivery cost from fensport and havent got around to fitting it now I've changed my plans and will be adding some FI so will not be needing this part 

     

    as mentioned in the title it's brand new only been removed to look at when delivered its the V2 snorkel so just an open intake doesn't come across the radiators like the V1 will add picutres later as it's currently at the parents house and I'm not 

     

    im open to offeres but would like £150 or as close posted uk mainland can get prices for posting elsewhere if requested 

     

    Edit: added photos 

     

    kind regards

    Hey guys,

     

    I'm hoping you may be able to help me out here I've installed my over pipe decat and cat back 3 days ago and this evening on my way back from work I've developed a rather loud squeal/squeak in the rear area of the vehicle as if two pieces of rubber are rubbing together I'm unsure if it's due to extra vibrations now as I've installed torque solutions exhaust hangers with my cat back

     

    so if anyone may have some useful advice on things to check if anyone else has had this I'm open all ears before I start removing seats and trims (weight reduction bro!) to locate it

     

    thanks 

     

    Daniel

     

    Edit:

    moved the centre brake light around on the roof of the boot and seems to have subsided for now still open to opinions and will be adding more Velcro on to that tab tomorrow anyway

    More of a pain to set up, but once it's set....it's all good until the next time. I know I've had offset bushes for 3.5 years. Only recent put LCA's on. 

    I think I'll go for LCA with coilovers as I've just had to cancel my berk high flow cat I'll wait a few weeks for that to come back into stock then buy it once I'm lower

    Right after some thinking time I have come to the conclusion to not waste money on springs and just go for coilovers 

     

    looking I think for my daily drive use only I'm not gonna spend £1000's and based on reviews over the forums I think Tein flex z to be my best options they will have a camber adjustable front top mount so will just be the rears I have to worry about but even then seems people don't have any issues without camber bolts/bushes and that means I can run it then get some arms for the astecticly pleasing nature in a few months 

     

     

    does that sound about right or am I completely wrong and I'll still need camber adjustment on the rear right away?

    I can hook you up with some camber bolts if you want. I had some myself earlier today.

    £25.08 from Whiteline 

    Are they just front camber bolts or do I require rear ones as I know our cars aren't adjustable on the rear?

     

    also anyone with just lowering springs not coilovers how much stiffer is it compared to the stock even if the spring rates aren't to far different?

    Hey guys,

     

    here i come with yet another questions about wheel fitments 

     

    currently I am running  an 18x9 ET+35 on my rear and I ran a 245/35 on it last time this time around Ive chosen a 255/35 as to get rid of the stretch 

     

    however this has caused me to be very close to the legal limit on wheel protrusion at stock hight. After a lot of looking over the internet and using the ft86 wheel directory for fitment I think I've found the answer is lowering the car 25mm which I'm happy to do 

     

    my questions is can someone explain how this moves the car wheel inwards and not outwards I just cannot get my head around it as surely I'm taking angle out of the wish bones not increasing 

     

     

    ill up load photos if needed later and any help for me to understand is appreciated And thanks in advance

    Hello everyone

     

    after 3 years of owning my gt i have finaly started to moddify it

     

    i have gone and fitted me a perrin 2.5" cat back with a Berk HFC front pipe. Also have got a nice new Samco intake hose with the cosworth drop in filter and a HKS intake snorkle

     

    Question is ive been reading alot about changing the intake layout and how it will make the car run lean or rich and not wanting to cause any damage wondered if it might be remap worthy

     

    i fully intended to remap within about 6 moths as ill be ordering me the FT86 speed factory UEL catted manifold and a nice new shiney over pipe but this was purely for the power gains. But as i have now scared myself into thinking 6 months is long time to be running a rich fuel mixture would it warrant an early remap?

     

    and finally located in the west midlands (walsall) area closest and best tuneing company? personal had fensport in mind a little uneasy at the cost though, but if needs must the car comes first

     

    thanks guys and girls

    Hey guys my poor car has had a fight with a steep incline and lost the battle which has unfortunately led to a scrape on the off side front bumper

    The problem is I have a pearl white and I'm lead to believe its a 3 layer paint which i know is hard to match I was wondering if anyone has repaired this colour before and how easy it was to match

    Also next question is I'm looking at TRD kits and wondered how well pre painted parts match I've seen some with huge colour differences just not sure if they used genuine Toyota parts does anyone else have info on colour match for the pearl white TRD kits

    Thanks

    I've been an owner for 14 months and I'm looking to start being a little more active with a club.

    Joined the Facebook group a few weeks back in search of the best forum and needless to say you guys seem to be the friendliest and most active which I would like to get involved with.

    So a little about myself I am a BMW tech working in Stafford, I brought my gt86 back in April 2014 from Wolverhampton Toyota and have been in love with it since. I'm probably best known for my dry sense of humour and miserable face and hope I'll fit in around here quite well (in which I mean no offence i know you're nothing like that yourselves).

    Now the important stuff. The car, she is a 14 plate pearl white, black leather red stitch interior with a centre arm rest for lazy gear changing days (there isn't many of these). I'm hoping soon to start my long list of modification with a new set of wheels!

    And here is a picture of her (if I can work this website yet)

    Cheers for reading and looking forward to getting involved
