215 on an 8" will be fine, several of us have run that size. I personally didn't notice any perceivable performance difference from running that size. Here's a couple of photo's of mine when I was running the exact combo you mention. I'm on coilovers in these photo's but you get the idea.

Don't worry about bringing shame to the community, there is much worse out there than a missing headlight washer and bent number plate.

Hello Everyone As lockdown restrictions are now easing it's time to host another Midlands lunch meet. For this we'll be meeting at the Hoof Beats restaurant just of the A5 near Burntwood / Brownhills on Saturday 15th May at 11:30. We've previously meet here a couple of times just before the start of the covid situation, however because of the covid restrictions still in place until the 17th we will have to meet / eat outside. I've provisionally booked at table for 6, we can book another table if we get more interest. The car park is a good size, however we expect it to get rather busy. Because of this and the fact I we'd all like to park closer together, we should park around the back of the restaurant where there is a large parking area. Please can we all aim to get there for 11:30, no earlier please. This will give us time for everyone to arrive before we sit down for lunch at 12. Here's the menu: https://www.hoofbeatsbnk.co.uk/main-menu/ Thanks for looking. Will Location: 9 Watling St, Brownhills, WS8 6JR Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/3EZj8FAjfCA4EbxA6 Date: Saturday 15th May From: 11:30 with lunch booked at 12:00.

Nice advert, very informative with all the right information. But.... You can't sell it until we've done a Spa trackday together. It'll happen one day. [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk -
What type of disc's you running? I've had some noise when reversing with my grooved discs

Brand new set of Ashed Bronze 18x8.5 Work Emotion Ultimate Kiwami
will300 replied to Booboo's topic in For Sale GT86 / BRZ Parts
As @Booboo mentioned in the 1st post there is currently a 5 month lead time. The prices you've just posted are for the shipping duration. FYI: "Please choose a courier option for shipping the wheels from Japan to the UK. This does not change production time but the time taken to get the wheels from Japan to the UK." -

You looking here @Jay Bamrah: http://workwheelsuk.com/work-wheels-emotion-cr-ultimate-kiwami.html ? -
Welcome to the forum Alan.

They'll fit but it's not something I'd run as there would be too much sidewall flex. Best to just say with 215 on 7" wide/stock width wheels.
-
+25 should fit, it'll be aggressive though. +35 is better in that size.

Most of the high end wheels like OZ, Enkei, Rays, Weds, etc will all cost around £1400+ minimum for a full set A similar wheel is the Sparco DRS (Sparco wheels are made by OZ) - which you can get in 18x8 +35 for around £800: https://www.ozracing.com/uk/alloy-wheels/sparco/sparco-drs https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/sparco-wheels-drs-alloy-wheels-in-rally-bronze-set-of-4-2006683/ There is also the Japan Racing JR21 as these are fairly similar: https://jr-wheels.com/category/jr21

It might be worth removing the jubilee clip's and rotating the silicone to see if there is any mishimoto branding on the silcone coupler. The main issue with that type of intake, is you need to remove the bumper each time you service the car to clean/replace the filter element.

Your issue will be a combination of the brake fluid boiling and the pads overheating, as already mentioned by @Kaltorak With regards to your mod plans, braided lines and master cyclinder brace won't make much difference as they affect pedal feel, not braking ability. From my own experience a strut brace with built in MCB is better for feel than just a MCB, having run both. Also assuming your on stock calipers, you probably want a better pad than Hawk HPS for track use as the Hawk pads are still a street biased pad. Which fluid have you gone for? In the past I've used ATE Type 200 and didn't really get on with it as I kept over heating it. I've since replaced it with Millers Racing Brake Fluid 300+ and not had any issues. Final point, when you bleed/replace the brake fluid, you also need to bleed the master cyclinder if you don't do this it can leave air in the system.

The compression ratio is 12:5:1. It's listed in the first link @BRZ-123 posted.

What do you mean by technical issues? Do you mean missing parts? or actual turbo issues i.e. boost leaks, oil leaks, etc. Also used turbo kits come up very rarely and a different turbo kit might have a different requirements to setup etc.

Still for sale....

I'm also running a Yuasa YBX3014. Although it's still not perfect and I've had to jump the car a couple of times during lockdown. However my battery is probably 3 or 4 years old now. I'll be making the switch to Lithium when the current one dies, although they are expensive.

Welcome to the club @Nandeyanen have you checked with the dealer to see if they can get the manual / contact the previous owner for it?

Welcome @castroneves, nice looking 86. Got any pictures of the GTO?

Technically if you remove either catalytic converter from the car, it should be an MOT fail. Whether it passes the emissions or not.

Tarmac Sportz are a registered trader here and have a good rep, they should be able to source one for you.

@Kaltorak hit Ctrl + F5 to refresh the page Cache. I checked the link and it worked for me in Chrome, then tired it in Firefox and it had the same issue you've got, but refreshing the page fixed it.

I'll add some issue I've found / got: 1. The brands section isn't done in alphabetical order. 2. The page doesn't auto fill to the browser height, so on the car search page for example on a screen with larger than 1080px height, leaving a load of whitespace at the bottom of the page. It'd be fine if the footer was positioned on the bottom of the page. (see screenshot) 3. Car search doesn't work
