RBF600 is fine and good value, but absorbs water quite quickly. I found it felt a bit off within 9 months or so. It won't be the weak point if you've got OEM brakes.

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.
-
For total road use I'd recommend a set that retains the OEM rubber top mounts. KW V1's should be in budget.

WD 40 helped mine. Still used pliers.
If yours is that bad take the key to a shop and get a proper blank cut first as it will save you a lot in the long run.

Do you have to remove the bumper to remove the cover, or does the BRZ have easier access to it?

2 hours ago, BRZ-123 said:FA20 was a copy of nameless.
The nameless is significantly different, they might have had the up and over idea first though?
P&L is near identical to a fa20club and came first.

2 hours ago, knightryder said: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.

Down the road from me but can't make Sunday. Have a good one

That's the fog light lol

For a slightly more linear power delivery a Harrop supercharger from @Mark@Abbey M/S or a Cosworth unit from @Lucas@PartBox are well proven.

If they don't come with a selection of shims you will need them. Shouldn't cost much from Reyland.

I'm still hoping they give us all a brand new engine! I bet they're pretty concerned with the potential kick back from the inevitable cock ups. Even if 10% go wrong the reputational damage could sink the Supra.

Total what, in the recall or overall?
-
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.
-
You wouldn't need to remap as such after removing the charger, just reflash to the stock map which anyone can do with the ecutek cable etc.

That's really cheap, bargain for someone. Tbh you really should sell the modifications, you're almost giving it away.

GT86 has two sets of fuel injectors, it won't suffer from this issue.

Forget E85, you'd get even better gains with kryptonite - and it'd probably be more widely available in the UK.

Enjoy while it lasts. Mobile cameras seemed to be most often by the reservoir.

It happens at every station now, all over the country. Definitely something has gone wrong.
There's a few threads on ft86club referring to the inner of the fuel pipe coming from the filler detaching, on early 13's, which mine is.
Ever seen this @Riceburner?
-
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.

No Church, some aren't as bad as others.
Replacing fluid every 2 years is very basic minimal level dealer servicing.
Btw saying RBF600 isn't good enough for track work is without any basis. The OEM calipers will have fried themselves long before the fluid has boiled.
