    Thank you so much Ian, I think your crazy but I do appreciate all your time. Intercooler is in place already, and some other bits stripped.

    Currently rear set belt points. Not comfortable with the angle they sit at as below recommended angle, so looking at options to change the angle they sit at (harness bar etc).

    Yeh thats really bad, especially without fixed back seats. Go for the schroth Rallye 3 harness. The rears straps mount to the top mounting for the rear seat belt on the "c" pillar. They are what I run on track days.

    I am just having my fluid changed with mot and service next month. I use Castrol SRF as it has the highest wet boiling point of 270 degrees C, dry is 310 degrees C. Recommend change fluid every 18/24 months.

    Its expensive but worth it and have not had any brake fade with braided hoses and Ferodo 2500 pads all round.

    This is the best but silly money. RBF600 in mine and no issues at all.

    Have you got enough clearance to say it'd fit 7" wheels with ET42? 

    I wouldn't want to put money on it, but I could fit my finger between the back of the spoke and the calliper, and between the calliper and inside of rim. For technical reference my finger is 15-18mm diameter. All the pictures of the brake fitment and wheels are on my photobucket, here is a link as I cannot share photobucket images directly onto the forum anymore.

  5. Its just annoying that some cars were made with the cheap stuff. I have been looking to replacing the various parts to put it back to the cheap gas, but the toyota parts list system is awful, and a lot of the dealers dont know that cars between 2014 and 2015 ran the cheap stuff.

    It looks to me you to swap it out you need 3 bits of aluminium piping at £60 a pop and maybe a new aircon compressor at around £500. Although my car has a sticker on the aircon pump that lists both gasses.


  6. So process of elimination. 

    Your tyres are good. 

    Your alignment is good.

    All these elements are measured static....

    The only static thing that hasn't been "checked" is that the brakes aren't dragging. (I doubt that its this though) Does it do with if you brake firmly in either direction?

    My personal train of though would be to check in order of simplicity:

    Does the traction control have any effect on this when turned completely off? You can try a "pedal dance" to completely turn it off. Google it.

    Subframe mounting, firstly are they tight? secondly are the bushes all in order. Is this causing the subframe to move under the car this would cause the symptoms you describe.

    If all this is "good" I would be looking at the diff and the drive shafts.

    Is the diff working correctly and within tolerance from left to right wheel. Is there any more backlash in one wheel then the other?

    Are all the wheel bearings okay?

     

    Good luck!

    Really like them, they did well on track as well. I don't find them crashy on the road either, bear in mind everything is poly bushed

    Any idea how you have the damping set for road use?
