    Any updates on this TorquePro and how do you actully set it up?
  2. As mentioned before do you think you may end up splitting parts? Interested in the gauges.

    I bought lights from them and they were brilliant, shame you didn't have such a good experience.

    Whose Is This?

    Looks like a nice example, a lot for the money.
  7. I don't think my car will pass any noise tests, plus I think I'm away from Friday to Monday working

    How restrictive are the aids, when I went Nurburging I didn't dare take them off? I consider them my saviours 🙈

    You must do a fair bit of track work then? Thanks for all the information just makes it tricky on which pads to go for first time round lol. Have you tried the Hawk or Stoptech pads? Any idea how they compare to the Cosworth?

    @Ztox I did see them for sale, I'm not in urgent need of the brakes atm as haven't got any track work planned and won't be back at the ring until March/April next year, but I like to know what I plan on buying. If he has no interest I may make an offer in a couple months.

    When I was at Nurburgring, an Australian who has a BRZ was talking to me about tyres he said Yokohama ad08R are some of the best out there. He mentioned in they were being in local race series and they were cutting serious lap times using them. May have to be on the list!

    Cheers @Ade I'll have a look at them threads, I kept seeing Alcon and Wilwood come up, the Alcon are very expensive just like the AP Racing. I may try the stoptech pads if i'm impressed with them the possibly go for their bbk. Any knowledge of the K sport? It also seems that for most of the bbk an 18 rim is required, another expense lol.

    Thread resurection, I'm looking into brake upgrades, was initially just looking into pad and lines change. I try to do a lot of research on the US forums, @Keethos have you looked at changing the brake master cyclinder? I'm aware they like the Grimmspeed version out there as the brake bite comes in a lot sooner could possibly help you? I'm beginning to think for the long run it may be worth just investing in a BBK, it seems AP Racing are the logical soloution unless anyone knows of any cheaper alternatives which are as good or nearly? Also I'm not sure if anyone can answer but are the UK oem calipers and discs from the Subaru WRX?

    RYANS HKS SC 86

    Hey, I'm Ryan from Surrey, thought i'd share a little of my car background first. First sort of performance car was a 350z. One of my favoruite shots of the 1st zed loved how clean it was! The Japspeed K1 exhaust could be heard from anywhere with the decats! I regret not driving this car as much I did, I bought it when I was 20 and it mostly sat outside the house was cleaned and serviced never driven Then a good deal came up on another zed and I ended up with... Nismo V2 Front Bumper with Carbon Splitter , 07 Bulge Bonnet ,19" LMGT4's in Anthracite Grey ,Vortech v2 Supercharger Full Kit(Not Tuner)Polished , Split Second Piggyback ECU ,Polished Intercooler Pipes , Kinetix V2 Plenum , GT Spec Strut Brace , Uprated Exedy Clutch , Lightened Flywheel , Arc Oil Pan (Rare- Possibly 1 in the UK?) , Z Speed Undertray , Custom Exhaust , Brembo GT Big Brake Kit Ferrodo PadsDefi Gauge Control Box , Defi Fuel Pressure Gauge , Defi Boost Gauge , AEM AFR Gauge , Alpine Sat Nav in Cubby Was a monster but again never had it that long as it wasn't driven! Then the 330D which I really enjoyed, ate up the miles and was a pleasure to own. May be able to see Rob275s car behind, detailed by him! Once the BMW went I then had to save for a property so I have a Juke on lease but then the time came again to get another car... After testing many cars in my hunt for a new project, I narrowed it down to the E92 M3, GT86, 370z, M135 and the S3. Out of all of them I found the GT86 to be the most involving and loved the driving position and how fun the car was to throw about, the only downside being underpowered. Fortunately, what I felt was the perfect base car became available thanks to Jonathan Wheat. Exterior: Standard apart from the official TRD canards. Engine: HKS Supercharger V2 - fitted and mapped by Abbey Motorsport HKS manifold Tomei Overpipe HKS resonated Front Pipe M7 titanium exhaust (only one in the UK I think, hand made in Japan) HKS Oil cooler again fitted by abbey - this has a vent in the wheel well, I high end part ARC air box HKS oil Car makes roughly 320bhp/288 at hubs The supercharger/oilcooler/most exhaust parts have only been on the car for around 2k miles Car Mileage is just under 7000miles since new The car is going to be used as a weekend toy and for track use with the intention of entering the Toyota Sprint Series. To Buy List so far , undecided on specifics at the moment and input welcome: Coilovers Stroker Kit Front splitter, side steps and rear spats Arbs Duck tail rear spoiler Control arms Pickup day! Took a trip home to realise the standard wheels could not put the power down and new wheels and tyres were ordered. Back of the daily Juke - a lot more fun than you could ever expect! Sitting like a monster truck at the moment, but I can finally get the power down, loving it!

    I'm over the moon with them, the damping is set to hard as I went to the ring. On public roads with the current damping you can feel how crap uk roads are, not the most forgiving but with the dampers set to soft this may not be the case. Performance wise the car is very balanced, no body roll, what seems like endless grip as if the car was on rails. I need to increase height but you can really slam the car with these coilovers, not my cup of tea as I want function and performance. As it stands I certainly say these are a good alternative to the Teins. I've driven @rob275 and his setup is brilliant tbf. The car will become a daily from December for a while but I don't drive often during the week.

    I can see a ring trip coming along 👀 I already know a number of people that are interested, was also thinking about a trip to Spa possibly.

    So next on my list was to get some coilovers, after being told the Teins weren't available for when I needed, I researched the American forums and found ST Suspension. ST XTA coilover is what I went for, manufactured directly at KW, they have adjustable damping with top mounts, also a nice drop in height was a must! The coilovers and alignment were carried out at Fensport, a great service and highly recommended. I asked for a fast road/ track setup and the car feels unbelievable, after letting a number of people with performance cars drive my car, they have commented on how great my 86 is and how much enjoyement you can have in it. The 86 at the ring... it was quite daunting going on to the track, once the barriers had gone up there was no going back! The respect you have to have for the track is unreal, it was highly challenging but after a few laps then having Bennett coach me it became very rewarding. The car performed faultlessly, I completed 9 laps in total over the long weekend, but by the end to say I was hooked is an understatement! I really hope to complete some driver training and UK trackdays before getting back out there next year, 3/4 trips next year is the aim. Next on the list for me is upgraded brake pads and lines, the oem discs and pads worked well but if I want to push on some better pads should help me out. I also need to have the car raised slightly as my front arch liners took a beating, I believe it was the bottom of Foxhole and the Carousel which took these out! Seeing so many stripped out cars with cages and upgraded seats really got me thinking how far to go with the car, next year the stripping process may begin.
