    Someone told me they fitted a set of cosworth pads and you could see the ebc stickers underneath the cosworth ones. 

    Cosworth quality isn't all that anymore I don't think. Their baffle plates haven't been flawless and the air filters I got recently looked like they were in knockoff boxes tbh 

    They dont have Cosworth stickers on them or EBC stickers. The Cosworth logo’s are printed/etched straight onto the metal.

    I’ve nothing but good words to say about the quality of the Cosworth products. I have their Stage 1.2 NA tune with their sump baffle and their brake pads. All the parts I’ve come into contact with look/feel first rate. I have a stack of their air filters ready for a lifetime of services.

    I just wish they did more parts for the 86!

    Aren't these just rebranded eBC's?

    I heard that rumour too but never seen any evidence to back it up.

    I had some EBC’s fitted before. They didn’t feel as good as the Cosworth pads and they dont look like the same pad at all.

    If EBC do make them for Cosworth then it must be a Cosworth spec pad and I take back every bad word i’ve ever said about EBC lol

    Looks like a Tom’s strut brace to me, so no bubble burst...

    Thanks for the heads up. I didnt know there were knock offs floating about. Without DNA testing it I guess we’ll never know lol But i’ve no reason to suspect its not genuine :)

    Shame that companies are allowed to get away with blatantly ripping off other peoples parts.

    Looks like im keeping it and putting it on my car then :)

    Admins - Please close the thread. No longer for sale.

    Just picked this up, but I’m not yet sure whether I’m going ahead with fitting this or another type of brace.

    Looking online I think these are generally about £400 all in brand new (Approx £300 + shipping/VAT/Duty from Japan). So thinking £200 would be a fair price used? I’ve not seen another GT86 with one of these in the UK so quite rare I suspect?

    Drop me a PM if interested. Located in Reading, Berkshire. Collection only. Not really looking for offers, just putting the feelers out there. Will probably keep it if its not worth £200 to anyone.

    Cheers!

    Hey all, two quick questions that I couldn’t find a clear answer on. Hoping you guys could help me get to answers please?

    1. When using FI on the FA20 what is considered to be the real tipping point where you really start to risk bending a rod? Cosworth appear to say 280bhp at the flywheel is as high as they recommend you should go on a stock engine. But does anyone have any experience or has heard of rods bending below this level of power?

    2. Which FA20 supercharger has the best whine? I know there is a lot more to supercharging your 86 than just how it sounds, but whine on a supercharger is a glorious thing. I’ve seen the MRT video for their Sprintex charger which is the best i’ve heard so far. Is this generally considered to be the one with the best whine?

    Cheers!

    Hi All,

    Boxed and Brand new, never fitted. Bought this but not going to use it after all. Looking to swap it for any interesting GT86 parts.

    I’ve got an automatic so not interested in anything manual specific.

    Ideally looking for any chassis braces or genuine TRD/Gazoo/Cosworth items. But not interested in suspension, exhausts, wheels or consumables like air/oil filters/brakes. Happy to trade this plus cash if you have something more expensive to pass on.

    Located in Reading, Berkshire.

    thanks, i was just going to buy one of these as i have just fitted a bbk kit, you realise they are less than £50 from fensport?

    would you consider an offer?

    Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I didnt realise Fesnport sold them. I’m not prepared to loose any more money on it, so i’ll aim to swap it for other parts instead.

    Could be interested in the brake stopper if your selling separately.

    I’ve actually had a few PM’s about this. I bought the brake stopper brand new for £80 (£50 plus shipping/import tax)

    So would be looking to get back the £50 and will take the £30 shipping/taxes on the chin.

    Drop me a PM if you want to come collect the Brake stopper for £50 cash.

    Hi All,

    Having a garage clear out and selling my OEM exhaust. Everything from the first cat/manifold back. Includes gaskets.

    Came off a 2014 car which had only 16k miles from new when removed.

    Prices on these vary a lot depending on price/condition so im looking for offers. Would px/swap for other 86 bits.

    PM me with an offer if you are interested to buy or want to trade.

    Located in Reading, Berkshire.

    Interested in any brand of strut brace as long as its got an integrated brake stopper.

    I’ve got a brand new Beatrush Brake stopper that i’ve never fitted which I could part-ex against if interested. Only reason I haven't fitted it is because my car is an Auto and there is a loom in the way that i’m not prepared to modify/move. This wont be a problem for a manual car as they don't have this loom.

    Drop me a PM if you have one up for grabs.
