Daninplymouth got a reaction from spikyone in Dans Daily
Full decat with the TD super res cat back and had the turbo plumbed back in rather than a screamer pipe. It is quite quiet but I think I prefer it now feels very oem

will post up my feedback later on after getting some more mikes on it but so far it seems very impressive

Yet another trip to TD just been completed, this time was a set of flex A’s and rear lca’s.
Iv not had a massive chance to push them as the car was completely full on the return trip but after unloading it I had a quick 30min blast on own and I am really impressed.
I went 30-35mm lower, planned on 25mm but to get the look I was after we decided to go a bit lower again. No issues with speed bumps or multi story car parks 👍🏻
The car feels much more planted and flat when cornering hard.

As seems to be the running theme here, I am now on my way back up to TD to collect the car after leaving it there for the past 10days.
Couldn’t help myself so decided it was time to stick the Turbo on, got their oil cooler too.
excited is an understatement and then the car is over to cadwell park tomorrow 😀

Going to have to disagree with this I found primacys shocking in cold and wet weather even when driving slow and sensible. I would put them worse than pretty much any of half decent tyre on any car iv drive . They were far to easy to slide on the road when not even trying and the amount of time my traction control used to kick in was laughable. Got an uphill dual carriage way slip road by my house and the tc used to kick in sometimes changing from 2nd to 3rd on stock power .
The pilot sport 4 are so much better in all conditions. It was slow but did do a track day at 0degrees on them and think that would have been impossible on the primacys

Good news - it was just an exhaust blow in the TD super resonator, the crack being opened up under load and with revs. Phew, what a relief! I've got the 3-bar MAP sensor installed and Mark is just sorting out low rev fuelling to make it a little smoother on pulling away.
I shall enjoy driving it home!

Just had a sit in, I will have to remove my hand I think to operate the levers. Although I have quite small hands for my size so you might just get away with keeping your hands on the wheel.
I’m just about 6’3 with long arms and legs before i could never have my leg straight on the brake or clutch I had my legs bend around the sides of the wheel.
now it clears a good inch or 2, pic below shoes my leg just resting on the brake pedal

Hi All,
I just thought I'd say 'hi', as I'm picking up a '19 plate Club Series 'Blue Edition' Performance Pack car from Scunthorpe today.
Pretty excited about this.
I had a red '14 plate until a rear end crash late in 2018 where the car was (surprisingly) written off.
I replaced it with a BMW M235i thinking RWD and more power would be fun.
Great engine I have to say, but the car just felt like a real let down and remote and not at all 'special' after the GT86.
Hence the swap back after only one year.
My pocket has taken a real hit, but I know this is the right decision.
Thanks for reading, I'll pop a couple of pictures up when I get it.
All the best,
Andrew.

thanks you 2, i have dropped the car into my garage earlier and asked for these settings

Pilot sport 4 are probably the best rated toad tyre

Yes these make a difference and you shouldn’t exceed 16 from full stiff

The fuel trims have greatly helped drivability and the car is easier to control at traffic crawling speeds now. Once properly underway, it feels much like before except there is response to a decent prod at any speed in any gear.
It almost never needs flooring - just a good prod and the speed builds quickly, something I remember my supercharged Honda doing.
I honestly wouldn't want or need more power than this. It's very well matched to the chassis.
Will report on average mpg once the gauge has settled into a near-final reading.

The installation is done and the car goes on the dyno tomorrow morning. I should be able to collect it in the afternoon.

Sounds a good plan to me 👍 I’m just up TD at the moment getting the final drive swap done on mine

Just had another trip back to TD to get a few little bits ready so the car is now fully sorted for the summer and a trip to the ring later in the year. I went for the ebc yellowstuff pads and braided line package, i ran these on my previous car and was impressed with how they handled that so it should only be better on the lighter Toyota. I also got the cam plate cover changed to just help stop any leaks before it does happen and the 4.67 final drive. It’s only been a day but so far the pads seem to be bedding in well, had plenty of chances to use them on the way home as the M6 was a carpark for most of the journey.
The FD change definitely feels a lot better to me, I will do another review in a week or 2 but so far so good only downside is now at a true 75mph the revs are about 350 more than before but to be honest the mpg didn’t seem to bad on the screen the limited time I could put my foot down but it definitely has a bit more go on the motorway when I’m 6th. Also I think it might help my mpg as a lot of my driving is around town and I think I can now comfortably go 1 gear higher than I would as standard, got a lot of 30&40mph roads here and now it sits quite nice in 6th at just over 40 with out to much strain on the engine as standard the display was always telling me to change from 5th to 6th but it never seemed very happy at this low revs about 1600rpm whereas now it sits at 2000rpm in 6th and seems a lot smoother.
I also got a couple of changes made to my map as I was never happy with the low idle these cars have so I bumped that up to about 1000rpm and also had the full power map’s throttle sensitively lowered a bit and again it’s only been a day but it feels so much nicer with the map and diff change even the wife commented that it seems so much smoother

Imagine my surprise when I bought a car with an advertised 200hp only to find out none of them come with that..... 🤣....... 😥

I find it a bit sad that you’d buy a performance pack then complain about a lack of dimming mirror.
Sounds more like you’ve wrote the car off so are trying to claim back your money from Toyota rather than your insurer
