Yes if your a bargain shopper. All I'm saying is its worth paying more for high end. Especially exhaust. 

Tinted back end. Need to make the reverse light tint permanent and get the windows done to finish that part of the look off but mostly happy for now. Carbon TRD spoiler needed I think...

I only just discovered this thread! It's amazing. I loved the show.
Many times I was thinking about finding some goods touge courses. Lake district. wales & scotland's  roads were the best I've seen so far, but everything is way too far from west midlands..  

I'll go:)

I can sell you my stock exhaust for £80, have the muffler chopped off which will cost about £60 and you have that, how does that sound?  

If it helps I've got aftermarket wheels and just swapped the old sensors over to the new wheels and they worked fine

Engineered to combat the power sapping effect of oil ‘blow by’ during periods of sustained driving at high rpm the plate is an especially important addition to your Toyota GT86 / Subaru BRZ if driven on track.
This Cosworth baffle plate directs the oil returning to the sump away from the crank via diverting plates and by incorporating a series of one way valves into its design the baffle plate also prevents oil moving into the upper crankcase chamber preventing oil starvation during harsh driving conditions.
This is vital when considering the 86 / BRZ's horizontal ‘boxer’ layout is particularly susceptible to oil pooling in the heads when cornering which can starve the pickup pipe of oil potentially causing major engine damage in the process.

definitely a worthwhile mod... done it on mine...

Lovely wheels!  I was planning exactly the same thing for my grey 86; either TE37 or CE28.  Both styles look perfect on our cars but I was erring towards the CE28SL; I've already asked Lucas how much they would cost and am hoping to buy a set in a few months, all being well...
Are you going to use spacers, and are you going to have them refurbed in black before fitting?  I'm curious as to how grey-on-grey works as a look.

So a bit of an update.
40k service has been and gone. Rich/Gary at RRG Macclesfield did their magic just before Xmas. My rear seat button is being passed on to Toyota GB for their insight, it's been refitted but the leather underneath is stretched and damaged. It's not really that noticeable but is does kinda set my OCD off... I'm awaiting their response via Rich.
In other news, I saw puddle projectors on eBay a while back and wasn't sure what to make of them - in the end I bought a set to try. I've not managed to set them up properly yet, they need adjusting to make the logo circular. But for now I do kinda like them in a chavy kind of way. I've taken to calling them 'w**ker' lights.

 
The parts bin has been steadily building up. Firstly, I picked up some carbon winglets for a good price. I tried fitting them, but wasn't happy with the way they went on, and they felt pretty loose so have taken them off for now. When the weather's better (drier) and I've got more time I'll try and get them installed again.

 
With it being Christmas the other half was asking what I wanted. I was really after some money towards an exhaust but never thought for a moment she'd actually go and get me one! In the next few days a Cobra resonated cat back will be on the way. Pleased.
Final update, more for the parts bin. I've been searching for a set of lightweight Rays (either TE37's or CE28) for a long time. Ideally I wanted 17", but I came across a set of CE28's in 18x8 at a price which frankly I couldn't turn down. After a 7 hour round trip these beauties are mine:

Two are pretty much mint, two have some light kerbing. Longer term I'll get them refurbed in black. The tyres aren't that good - lots of tread but budget brands. I'll need to sort this as and when funds allow - another member has offered me some part worn Yokohama's to get me going but with these unforeseen purchases, Xmas and now my insurance being due I need to hang fire and see how much money I have free - chances are not enough right now! 
Tomorrow I'll give Lucas at Partbox a ring. Need to see how much spigots are, and I've also heard I can't use the standard wheel nuts with these wheels. Once I've got this lined up, the tyres bought/wheels refurbed it'll be time to find a garage, empty the parts bin and get it all fitted. I think it'll be quite the transformation when done! 
 
 

Well given there will always be something that is far faster in a straightline, why not concentrate on the handling. I've overtaken far quicker cars on paper on the track and some of those have been well driven too. Not well driven enough though obviously. 
Having more power will make your car quicker in a straight line, but that's all it will do really. I've done the Alps a couple of times now, I've never had problem keeping up with Porsches and the like and well if I happen upon a well driven GT3, then what's the point, let it go. Whatever you do to your GT, you'll never be able to keep up with stuff like that.
So for me, getting my car to handle well and it really does is where it's worth investing I reckon. That and tuition. 

Sunday's trip to Wales

I'm very interested in the action days, there's usually a range of things going on with the chance to go on track. It would be good to get a group of cars on stand at a few of them as they got a lot of interest last time. I've attached a pic below of them both.
My car went out on their 'Supercar Saturday' doing fast laps for stroke victims and went well however it won't be out on a action day as I don't trust some of the people action days attract. They usually have a fast car and no skill, or just rely on their electronics to get them round! 

Cheers fellas for the feedback!
@Lucas@PartBox I'll drop you a line when I have some Xmas cash in my pocket. 

It's been a while since I've posted anything and I'm sure a few of you will have seen my for sale thread, but the 86 has now gone and in its place sits a near immaculate Silvia. It's very similar to the 86 but it just feels a bit more special to drive and surprisingly it was more comfortable to drive home 200 miles than my 86 was. Any I'll probably stay around on the forum and occasionally post pics of it if that's allowed? And keep up with what other people are doing.

Had mine on for about 2 months now. Makes the movement for heel/toe downshifts a lot easier (At least for me). It is definitely a noticeable improvement on the standard pedal position.
Only cons i can think of are that it's a little fiddly to install. 
For £40 I don't think you can go too far wrong

Sunday's trip to Wales

I'd thought about that but kinda got my eye on the Grimmspeed stuff to match my intake.
I'm wondering if I can convince her to just put some money toward a Cobra resonated haha!
 
 

So much power all the way to the red line! 
This V2 supercharger kit has been redesigned and become even more powerful kit. The efficiency has been improved by changing the layout of piping around the throttle and utilising a bigger size intercooler. Compared to stock, 35% higher output and 45% higher torque are achieved. Fuel Upgrade Kit for higher engine output is also released for engine output of over 300PS.
The whole kit will cost you £3510


 

You only say that because it's outside your house  

Well you might as well copy me with the rear brakes as well.... As I'm also running the Stoptech's. 
I got mine from @Lucas@PartBox 

I think that everyone who turns the TC off is fully aware of what it does.

Yeah, same for me. I got stuck going uphill yesterday morning. Electronics was interfering too much, couldn't do anything other than turning traction control off completely. I needed RPMs to get the wheels spinning and make some grip on a fairly icy hill.
