Seibon Carbon (http://seiboncarbon.co.uk/) are the genuine company they are trying to copy.

Sabon Carbon... love it.

Worth a read for anyone looking at Oil Cooler, http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114293 however I suspect most of you already know this.

I'm not sure if that's the same ITM but SARD are working on a very similar design. Here are their design photo's:

When I ordered the BBK I wasn't too sure if it would clear my summer set of wheel's, the 949 Racing wheels. So today I decided to check and make sure. Well good news I they do with loads of room, so I don't need to buy a new set. Some pictures of the clearance:

I got a free copy with my graphic's card, however I can't be arsed to download 60gb's worth of game.

Summit / S-Wave are your best bet. However if money is no object then the SPL would be top of my list (Velox don't have a bolt hole for the headlight level adjuster).

If your planning on having someone else do the work for you, take a look at @smudge's build first.

It's supposed to do this: This item will increase the feel in the clutch pedal and give a more motorsports like feel to the return of the clutch pedal to stock position. It made it stiffer but the return feels spongy to me, which I don't like.

For anyone interested the BBK cost me £1800 as I went for red calipers and AP discs. However you can buy a similar setup but with black calipers and Reylands own rotors for around £1500 to £1600.

As its now 2017 its time for an update on my build, but first I'm going to start off by wishing everyone a Happy New Year. Anyway back to the car, I'd originally planned to go supercharged at the end of last year, however due to a supply issue I cancelled this after a couple of months. I then spent a couple of day thinking about what to do instead of the supercharger, I decided to stay N/A and purchase some more modifications. First on the list was a big brake kit as I've always felt the brakes on the car were lacking some stopping power. This provided a substantial challenge in deciding what kit to go for, after spending considerable time looking at the various options available I came to the conclusion that none of the existing setups matched my exact needs. After discussing this with @Ade he suggested I contact a company called Reyland Motorsport who make custom big brake kits. Over the following week I exchanged several emails with Reyland and we came up with a kit which meet my needs. The custom kit I ended up with consists of red AP Racing CP9200 calipers, AP Racing 330x28mm discs with custom hats, brackets and Ferodo DS2500 pads. Here are some photo's of the kit: Fitted to the car: I also decided to upgrade the rear disc's to match the grooved fronts, so I selected Stoptech grooved rear discs. I still need to bed the brakes in, but they feel much better already. (Once I'm back on summer tyres that will help the bed in process massively) The next mod I purchased was a Perrin 3" Cold Air Intake system with silicone intake tube, thanks to @James@Amber for providing this. I also purchased MTEC shift and clutch springs. In my opinion the shift springs are fantastic, a definite must for our cars. However I don't really like the change in feel of the clutch spring. The final mods I ordered were a HKS resonated decat pipe and Powerflex front and rear subframe bushes. I decided against fitting the decat pipe due to the extra noise it'd produce (This will be put up for sale soon). Finally due to the change in intake I needed to get the car remapped again, this time I decided to get the car dyno mapped by Tuning Developments. Here is the before and after dyno graph: As you can see @Mike@TD.co.uk managed to smooth out the mid range and get a little bit more power at the top end. One last comment, @Keethos thank you for providing the transport to and from TD.

Hi Everyone I recently came across a website which contains several tutorial explaining the fundamentals track driving. There are 20 tutorial's which explain the basic's of cornering, braking, vision, grip limit, etc and a couple of other guides. Having done the CAT Driver training a couple of years ago this was a good recap for me, and will hopefully help everyone else. The tutorial's are definitely worth a read. There is also a video for each tutorial, however not all of these worked for me. Driver's University: All Tutorial's If you CBA to read all the tutorial's but are new to track days, I'd definitely recommend you have a read of their guide. Track Day Guide: The definitive guide to track days Here's one of their video's on how to drift a road car, in an 86 no less. Thanks for looking Will

Welcome Alan.

Welcome Lou, nice collection of former cars you have there.

There's only one thing on planet earth that could quieten your exhaust down....

I should be good for this.

There are definitely two sizes, see below image. The one you have is the 2.75" one, so you don't need to mess around with MAF scaling.

I also made a short video when I meet up with Ross this weekend. Sorry its not a super high quality job, I don't have the equipment for that, yet.

Here are some quick photo's of Ross's car from today's mini meet. It's was just a shame about the weather, atleast we found somewhere under cover.

Wheels are now sold!

Hi All I've recently changed my wheels and tyres and have decided to sell the old wheels, mostly to soften a recent Fensport bill All 4 wheels are available, in good condition with no curbing. They are fitted with ContiSport Contact 5's with approx 6mm of tread left on each one. I've only got 3 of the center caps as one went missing on a track day. Wheel size is: 17x9 +42 Tyre size is: 245/40/17 I'm after £700 cash on collection from Lichfield, Staffordshire. Thanks Some photo's, please excuse the crap mobile photo of the group image. Wheel 1 Wheel 2 Wheel 3 Wheel 4 Tread:

I know @Jared was busy most of Saturday other than late afternoon/early evening. I'm happy either way. We could always meet up before hand and jared join us later on, or there's always Sunday.

The plan was to meet in Malvern as that's half way between us both on Saturday evening (6ish).

We should do a mini-meet, I'll be near by meeting up with @Jared at some point.

Shame I missed you today mate at the Tuned! open day, would have loved to go out in it.
