Hello Everyone
I'm looking to sell my Bronze Japan Racing JR29 wheels in size 17x8 +35, with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. This is a really good looking set of wheels, which I've owned for approximately 14months. All 4 wheels are available and the tyres have between 4mm & 5mm of tread left, pictured below.
All of the wheels have some form of stone chip or mark on them, one of them has a 1cm kerb mark. Unfortunately the paint finish is extremely thin so they chip incredibly easily.Wheel size: 17 x 8 +35 5x100
Tyre size: 225/45/17 94WPrice: £500 cash on collection from Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Thanks for looking

I can't really help as mines a Verus splitter & diffuser, that was order via a UK distributor so I didn't have to deal with shipping, import tax, etc.
However I will say, you won't get the benefit of a diffuser without a splitter.

Hi Everyone
I'm selling my brand new Verus Engineering slanted bonnet louver kit in black, with optional rain guard kit. I ordered the kit along side my Verus splitter and diffuser, however I'm not 100% sure I want to fit it and I'd rather it go to someone who is willing to use it.
Louver kit is located in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Price: £300 collected - will post for an extra £20
Thanks for looking

@Neil-h - Right if you run the calipers with the standard size discs there is a 12% loss in performance (braking power) & a 3% change in brake bias to the rear over the standard calipers, this is due to a reduced size piston (WRX = 40mm vs OEM = 42.8mm).
However with the WRX calipers and godspeed 335mm disc's you are changing the total surface area the pad can work against, this actually returns the performance & brake bias to that of the OEM setup (within 1% so negligible difference).
In that case it wouldn't actually be a bad swap. My only concern would be sourcing replacement brake pads as the Godspeed kit uses a modified Aston Martin pad.
(Hope that helps)
-
A few people run them, however they are less effiecent than the stock brake's and move the brake bias substantially towards the rear (that's with the 294mm standard WRX disc's), so not ideal. However I don't know what effect the larger disc's would have.
The important question is why do you want to change the calipers?

Do you mean these one's:

To echo @Lauren's comment, I've had my Reyland AP kit on for two and a half years now and probably done a about 10 track days since and about 25k road miles, without any concerning issues (I've had some debris scratch the disc's and hats & boiled brake fluid - but both will happen with any brake (OEM or BBK) setup). I'm still on my original AP disc's, which have lasted incredibly well, I'm sure if I ran a more aggressive pad compound they'd get used up alot quicker. I also changed my brake pads around 9 months ago, purely to try a slightly different compound to the previous pads, Ferrodo's DS2500 as provided with the kit. The Ferrodo's still have a good amount of meat left on them and I'll be switching back to them in a couple of weeks for several upcoming track days.
The Reyland big brake kit has been my joint best mod to the car, with the exhaust manifold being the other.

Update 22/06/19 - Track Wheel & Tyre Combo Updated
In preparation for several upcoming track days over the next few months, I decided to get a set of track tyres. I've been extremely happy with the performance of the Michelin PS4's, however I didn't want to eat them up over a short period with alot of track use.
With that in mind and after doing some research on a good track tyre that is still safe to use day to day, I found two compounds / tyres that would meet my requirements. The Yokohama AD08R and the Nankang NS-2R. In the end I decided on the Yokohama's as I could get them extremely cheap, even cheaper than the Nankang's (this was the only deciding factor, I'd happily run either setup).
A set was swiftly purchased, however I was aware that Yokohama have recently replaced the AD08R with the AD08RS (for environmental reasons). So I wasn't sure what version of the tyres I'd actually be getting. As it turns out I got lucky and ended up getting one the first sets of AD08RS, these have been fitted to my 949Racing 6UL wheels.

James at Amber Performance got them for me - As I wanted the plain version (DBA42656-10) not the slotted.
If you want the slotted version (DBA42656S-10) both DBA UK & Partbox sell them:

Update 02/06/19 - Schroth Harness Installation
As I'm starting to do more track days, I decided I needed to do something to stop me moving about in the seat so much.
My initial plan was to purchase a bucket seat, however after looking at the various options and the cost, I decided against this idea. Mainly because I was eyeing up an Edirb 023 seat, which meant lots of ££££'s.
I therefore decide to get a harness setup first, as this is a much cheaper option. I'd seen that quite a few people are using the Schroth Racing Rallye 3 ASM harness, so after speaking with @VAD17 (and a couple of passenger laps) & @Mike I decided to go ahead and order one in Red.
It's a straight forward install once you know what your doing, although removing and refitting the seat belt buckle nut is a royal pain in the backside.
Here are couple of photo from the installation:

Update 01/06/19 - Detailing Job
Over the last couple of weeks I noticed my windscreen wasn't clearing when using the windscreen wipers, it was just smearing the water over the screen. Not cool when your trying to drive down a dual carriageway and you can't see straight in front of you.
So yesterday I decide to clean the car and then re-sealed the glass. My go to product is G-Techniq G1 Clearvision Smart Glass, I've used this for a couple of years and it never fails to impress with how well it repels water. It takes about 40minutes to apply, you apply 3 layers to each window (you only really need 3 on the front, but it's easier to do all the windows), 5 minutes apart. Then you leave the coating to cure for 15minutes, before removing any left of residue with the G2 remover. I also bought a set of replacement windscreen wipers, I was previously using Michelin Stealth blades, however it appears these are no longer produced, so I opted for some Denso DUR-055R & DUR-050R blades.
p.s. For a single car the G-Techniq G1 coating comes in a 15ml bottle, this is more than enough to do all the windows on an 86/BRZ, with 3 coats on each window. I purchased the larger 100ml option as I'm going to do a couple of cars.
Here's a couple of photo's showing the beading:

It's an exact copy, so yes it will leave holes exposed.

3d Carbon bought the complete kit design from 5 Axis / Five:AD. You can order the 3d Carbon version of the lip from FT86Speedfactory, here:

As for the car, it looks familiar but I also haven't seen it for a while.
