  1. You want as much extra camber on front as you can get, with KW V1's you can get around -2 as slotted at bottom.

    The rear is more of an issue, with a 25mm drop you'll have an undesirable amount of extra rear camber which really you should get adjustable rear lower control arms to fix.

    If going SC, choose the exhaust setup wisely. The FA20Club manifold, sorry.... TD manifold, will likely encounter issues with the up and over pipework. With a PD blower a manifold isn't going to make such a large difference so personally I wouldn't necessarily go for a mega pricey one.

    Might be worth giving @Mark@Abbey M/S a shout if you're around London as he's fitted different manifolds on their Harrop car.

    The FA20Club manifold is a copy of a P&L, so don't give them credit! The up bend on the TD is actually noticeably different, having compared mine with others at sprints. It bends more to the drivers side of the engine and is closer to the coolant line. I'd be interested to know whether there would be any issues with it and Harrop superchargers etc though.


  3. Going off rough numbers on how many left, I think around half of all GT86's will be affected by this recall. Most were sold early on, and a trickle since. Makes sense, as most people on the forum seem to be affected.

    Call it roughly 2500 cars. There's 177 Toyota dealers in the UK, so that's an average of 14 engine removal and strip downs each. Given most Toyota dealers probably haven't taken apart a boxer engine before this is going to get very interesting. That's before you take into account that a relatively high ratio of 86's will be modified.


  4. My car has developed some sort of issue which frustrates filling up with petrol via petrol pumps. This started happening a couple weeks ago, the petrol pump will shut off immediately unless you start very slowly, then after a couple quid you can build it up very slowly up to a normal filling rate. Which lasts for about £10 and you have to start again. 

    Has anyone else had this happen? I've seen a couple mentions on the yank forums but nothing here.
