The right parts cost, can you dont look like you want to pay for them so there is no wonder why people put them back to stop. For example if I was to look at mine:
12 plate 35K miles. 12k?
Cosworth kit 3.5k?
Ohlins 1.5k?
App BBK 1k?
Two sets of wheels 500?
Hayward and Scott Exhaust 500?
Stereo 200?
Tomms rear lights 200?
Scroth Harnesses 200?
Cosworth baffle this would never be worth taking off.
Full Siebon lip kit. (cost a packet new)
The car in bits stands as 19k+ and I think you could get more for the bits if patient. Doesn't sound like many would be willing to give that kind of money for a prepped car.

Start out slow and build up to it. Stay off the racing line as there will be rubber on it and it will be slippery. Leave the traction control or take it half off in the slower corners to see how it reacts.

heard the relay can die, think you can swap it with the horn one to test.

A church said, you do not require to change suspension to use a BBK however, if with you current choice of tyres you can lock the wheels its pointless fitting a BBK. If however your using stickier rubber and you cannot lock the brakes with them then a BBK will give you increased performance.
For reference have the Rayland 330mm kit:

It fits under my Rota Boost, 17x17.5 E48 with a 15mm spacer. It also fits under my XXR 527 18x8.75 E35.

Looking to run 18 x 8.5 which I think yours are if im not mistaken, but im unsure of what ET to get. You seem to have fitment down to a T! Can I ask :
- What ET your are running?
- What tire size you've got on them?
- Have you had any issues with rubbing or fitment?
Mine is the white one above.
Mine are 18x8.75 E35, tyres are 245/35/18
My opinion is fitment is spot on, could run a 10mm spacer on the front but I run 3 degree of camber. No rubbing

Interestingly my 86 usually spends more time on charge than my Telsa but recently due to the quite roads I have found myself digging the 86 out of the garage and using it a couple of days a week for my commute.
However since my 86 is a toy is often spends a long time in the garage, the battery died on me a couple of time. Often when I left the car unlocked (the car uses less power when locked as the electronics go to sleep) I left it unlocked after I read all the storys of people snapping keys. Then I left it locked and it was dead by two weeks in. I replace the battery and its been on a Ctek charger ever since as I often leave it months without use.

If you over tyre the car you will kill the fun!
I run a 235/35/18 MPSS. Cosworth Charged and the car remains playful. I would get the turbo on, get used to it and see how you get on. Id be looking at a decent quality 225/235 section tyre.

I think it was due to pads and discs rusting. Hope you get it back soon, although I wouldn't be confident that you will get away with not having the discs skimmed that pads really do eat into the disc.
Do you leave the car stood for a long time?

and rocking it back and forth doesn't get them to unstick? I have had this once in the 86, after a track day drove back in the wet parked it up. Left it for a little while could have been week to be fair, hand brake off I never leave it on in the garage. It needed 2k rpm and the clutch dumped to break them free. (that wasn't a fun thing to do in the garage)

They are RSR's its not going to handle anyway. That aside you add enough power you wont understeer anywhere!

I had this brand on my NC MX5, not sure how much lighter this is than stock, but I had not issues with it or rattle, it just rev'd a lot more freely.
Why have you had to have your stock one straightened? Not heard of this before.
What have you done to make your 300hp?

Just now, BRZ-123 said:And did you find a massive change between sprintex and Cossie or very similar?@Rich196
Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk
I changed it mainly for intake temperatures on track, in that regards yes the cosworth is much much better.
However road driving, there isnt much in it. I think the sprintex might have given a bit more power lower down, before the cam, the cosworth feels a bit stronger once on cam pull hard to the red line.BRZ-123 reacted to this -
1 minute ago, MartinT said:No, I had the Sprintex on my previous car, a Honda CR-Z. It certainly pepped up the 1.5l hybrid and turned many heads with its pronounced whine.
Ah okay, still only me thats removed a sprintex and fitted another charger (cosworth). Glad your enjoying it. I agree with what you say about the lack of shove. Its quick, but doesn't feel as it is. The non linear shove a turbo gives always feels faster!
I think the ECU will learn the more miles you do, allowing it to be smoother. The charger add a fair bit of rotational mass so charges the reving characteristics.

The supercharger itself is so quiet as to be barely there and, unlike my previous Sprintex, there is just the sound of rushing wind at high revs telling me that induction is being forced.
Did you remove the sprintex and fit the harrop?

Yeh its back. That was to fill it from empty, I had to change the condenser due to a leak so I know there was nothing in it.

All new cars for the last maybe 2 years are back to R1234yf now, so its becoming increasingly more common. I got mine done at the local dealer for £70 a month or so ago!

The sticker looks pretty new.

The filling ports are different for the two gasses, so they cannot put the wrong gas in. Take it to a garage and have them checkAngelina reacted to this

Looks like you need tp up the budget then, most track build cars will owe toward 20k in parts without labour costs that have been involved.
