GT86Jay

2 Nearly new Michelin Primacy HP Tyres with only 200 miles on.
 
Stored in dry location. No cracking or perishing. 
 
Looking for £120 ONO. PM me for offers / interest. 
 
Collection from Norwich / within 25 miles of norwich. Or I can bring them to the next Meet / Event. 
 

 

 

 

Here's a few images of the Brembo STI kit fitted on my GT86. 
 
This is the front kit of the 2005+ Subaru Impreza STI. It's a straight forward bolt on job. (Almost)
 
You have to swap the bleeders from top to bottom which is a real pain! I had to get a machine shop to ease them out with heat and lots of grease. 
 
There are rumours that you can just fit these upside down on the other side. Which puts the bleeder on top. But the problem is they're differential bore callipers. Which means the pistons are different sizes top and bottom. To improve braking and pad wear. Fitting them upside down will cause problems. And also has issues with noise and brake feel.
 
The rotors are 326mm over the 295mm stock. and under 17" wheels really fill the gap! 
 

 
I also fitted stainless steel brake lines. Which definitely improve brake feel and responsiveness. 
 

 
 
To finish the look off I painted the rear callipers in the same Brembo gold to match. Planning to get the rear Brembo kit to match. But it's slightly rarer as you need the 2008+ kit if you want a bolt on job rather than having to make brackets etc. So got my eye out for a good pair. 
 

 
 
Overall I am extremely pleased with this kit! The brake feel is awesome. Can feel serious stopping power and the braking is solid and smooth! I'm running Pagid Fast Road Pads in them. Haven't felt any problem with brake bias / fronts being over braked. 
 

 

 

 

 
Very very pleased and impressed with the setup! 
 
P.S - Sorry for the dirt. Haven't had time to clean it yet. My arches will never be as clean as Pitmans! But to his relief, my Brembo covers are now gone!! And will post the evidence on here later!  

Me too! Although it's more certain forum members that seem to always want to argue that make me wanting to stop coming on....

That's been driving me nuts for days. Now corrected!

Too much theory (in my opinion) Steve, ... better to give experience than rhetoric.
 
 
Spec K

I've corrected that for you James   

Keith, my non-OEM ones didn't have them on all either. But had no issues so far. One thing I did notice was the inner pad was slightly different to outer in that the nibbles were in a slightly different place on the outer two to stop the caliper from sitting on them. Make sure the piston and the front of the caliper is sitting flush with the pad and not on a raised nibble. 

I wouldn't shout about that Rob

Pic of the unit in place for those not on my FB:
 

Looks great! 
You should get some night photos with them in operation too! 

Keith i'm going to be there with the same amount left as you, probably a little less. My plan is to destroy them and then change them after

I have an HKS Hybrid Air Filter with about 200 miles on it if anyone is interested? It's still clean, in the box and pretty much brand new. 
 
I don't have a photo of the item. But given this is not 'the other forum' we can probably use some common sense and all know what an air filter looks like? Or Google search it.
 
It's this item - http://www.part-box.com/product_info.php?products_id=83226 
 
Only reason i'm selling it as I already have the K&N equivalent. 
 
Looking for £20.00 delivered....

Still working that out Keith, 
 
My system cost me about £80 to get running but it was crude / cut wires etc. 
 
Have ordered a few plugs to hopefully get a plug and play harness built. Once i've done this i'll have an accurate idea of the cost of bits. 
The most expensive bit is the actual PC. But am working on getting thoose cheap too! 

Yeah default apps just take over the screen. Including when you put it in reverse. The camera still works etc. Just treat this input as any other. Bluetooth for example. Rather than showing the track and album art work it just shows the video input. 
 
And absolutely Keith! Good thinking. This is what I've actually done. I use my iPhone to connect and control it. Works really well as its a direct connection. The android pc acts as a Wifi hotspot which my phone then connects to. 
 
I've also go on order a small 'airmouse and keyboard' about the side of a remote control but has a full qwerty keyboard and track pad mouse on it. 
 
Anything Android can do. This can pretty much do.

This can be done Keethos, but I have also added two audio RCA inputs in the glove box so that you can input audio in via these. The two audio RCA inputs in the glove box basically mimic the front aux port.
 
You can of course play any music that is on the android pc, via ipod, usb or SD card. 
Unfortunately because the telemetry input is technically a new 'source' it also switches audio. So there is no way that I can see of being able to have the Bluetooth or iPod audio source whilst looking at the telemetry screen.
But hopefully with the airplay / bluetooth streeming to the android pc should be pretty seamless and easy. 
 
I've been using the Aux port on the front and have noticed no loss of quality! Although not having the skip / back buttons is annoying! 
 
 
No problem Keith. I'll let you know when it's all ready to go. It can be installed now with a little extra work, but hope to get the plug and play kit sorted pretty soon! 

Some of you may know that i’ve been working on a little something for the Toyota Touch (& Go) head unit. I’ve now successfully managed to get it all working and set up perfectly to my liking. 
 
After many hours of fiddling and tweaking with wires I’ve got it working. Spent hours fiddling, went through 3 methods and 4 pcs! Blew a couple of fuses, and broke my reverse camera cable in the process, but now have a fully integrated Telemetry data input into the head unit.
 
This makes use of a hidden input on the Toyota touch which isn't enabled by default. The ‘VTR’ Input, which is basically a video composite RCA input.
 
So this is what i’ve done and now have running….
 
Integrated 3 RCA panel inputs into my glove box along with a 12v ignition power supply….
 

 
A Mini Android PC in the glove box to input into the head unit. This Android pc will be replaced with a far smaller one which I am still waiting to arrive. I’ve used this one for testing as it is available in the UK. The one that’s coming from China is smaller, lighter and much cheaper. But takes several weeks to get here it would seem. I’d already tried another one from China but because of the android version it would not run Bluetooth or communicate with the car. 
 

 
I’ve got a little more tweaking to do with the Android box to make it more streamline but the PC now boots up, and opens up the Torque App into a dashboard automatically. Giving full engine telemetry on the screen. Including Oil Temp and Boost Pressure (If FI) along with any other data that is available from the GT86 ECU. And there is a lot! The data can be in the form of dials, graphs or numbers. Many of you know the Android Torque Pro app so anything you can do that, can pretty much be outputted to the head unit now.

Sorry for the poor video, this was done using my iPhone wedged in the passenger head rest late at night. But gives a general idea.
 
And because it is technically just an android PC anything else you can do on android can also be done on the head unit. Angry Birds, Browser, films, music, pictures etc. 
 
This is still early development and I plan to keep on working on it to make it as possible and integrated as possible. 
 
The limitation at the moment are….
 
Only form of input is via Keyboard or Mouse.
 
Slow boot-up time, I am promising settings and removing unwanted start up services to speed up boot.
 
Only audio input is via the Front Jack Input or red and white RCA input. Audio can be played using the android pc, or inputted into the front jack from iPhone or iPod etc. But when in the ‘VTR’ Source you can’t use Bluetooth or iPod connection. And you can’t have the telemetry showing whilst listening to the radio etc. But I am working on a method so that apple users will hopefully be able to ‘air play’ to the android pc via WiFi or Bluetooth. I have this half working. 
 
Small text is difficult to read due to the 480p resolution. But setting all text to large is fine, and once in the torque app it’s not a problem.
 
The install process is very fiddly and complicated. But I will hopefully be making some wiring looms which allow an effective ‘plug and play’ solution. I will also be putting together an install guide for those who want to attempt it themselves. I need to tidy my install up, get some decent pictures and then i’ll get together a guide. 
 
Currently the software requires a bit of tweaking and setting up to work smoothly. But again i’ll add this all into the guide.
