    Hey mate, with the 40mm drop do you have any rubbing issues or problems clearing speed humps etc? Thanks

    Hi Mate

    ive got no issues with rubbing I’m running aftermarket wheels 18x8.5. No issues clearing speed bumps just have to take them a bit slower but can get over everything. 
     

    live down a road with bumps and no issues

    That's great to hear you are enjoying it. Thanks for the update. 

    I'm so tempted to go for it in the future now I've got used to my car with the TD NA kit on. 

    Honestly I couldn't recommend the TD Kit enough after I had a ride in a friends Avo car I knew I had to go FI at that point.

    The difference between Avo and TD is quite noticeable I think, the TD Kit comes on much sooner in the rev range and pulls smoother where the Avo seems to come on later and harder guess it depends how you drive the car but personally I think the TD Kit is perfectly suited for the 86

    @CharlieBatchelor95 how is life with the TD turbo kit fitted? Have you had a chance to really test it out? 

    Only just seen this haven't been that active on the forum just getting back into it.


    The Turbo Kit is absolutely immense cant believe how much its transformed the car, its amazing with what it keeps up with now and is a weapon on a B road now

    @CharlieBatchelor95 It definitely is a slippery slope!

    My exhaust setup currently is as of last week: 

    - HKS UEL Catted Manifold - Cobra Overpipe - Cobra High flow Catted Front Pipe - Cobra non-resonated Cat back

     It's also very loud! 
    I've just brought a Resonated TD mid-pipe from a member of this forum, hoping it'll quieten it down slightly but mainly hoping it takes some of the drone out (if it fits that is).

    Booking in for a remap at Fensport towards the end of Jan as well to get it all smoothed out.

     

    I'm on lowering springs at the moment but got a friend at work who has an mk2 MR2 on Tein Flex Z coilovers, when chatting to him about them I was tempted to get some. They might be another mod for further down the line 😂

    Interesting about the volume of your exhaust I'd have thought being catted would've kept the noise/drone down to a more tolerable level, hopefully the TD mid-pipe sorts out the issues you're having with it. Don't see any reason why it won't fit unless TD use custom fitment on their exhausts.

    The remap will give you so many features and improve the torque that'll make it a whole lot more drivable not too long to wait 

    I've never been in an 86 on lowering springs but a lot of people use them so must be an improvement, but I can 100% recommend the Tein Coilovers its my favourite modification on the car I thought it was good before but this transformed it. 

    Seems like you've got plenty of ideas though!

    You've been busy!

    The Invidia exhausts make a good sound, although I imagine with an UEL manifold it sounds brutal haha.

    How do you rate the Flex Z coilovers? 

    😂 as always modifying a cars a slippery slope, with a platform like the 86 there's so much you can do

    I was originally going for a Cobra Resonated system however the Invidia come up at a price I couldn't turn down, if I'm honest with my current setup its brutally loud on full chat... Cruising isn't too bad but drone is a real problem on the motorway hoping the turbo quietens it down a little bit.

    I brought mine used so got a fairly good deal, Its transformed the car completely the standard suspension wasn't bad at all however the car just sat to high. I've dropped mine about 40mm and the handling is amazing now I'm running 2.5 degrees of negative camber in the rear at the minute need to get some adjustable lower control arms but am tempted to leave it as is handling is perfect the smallest steering input does so much more over stock.

    The NA TD kit is a very good option. Loads of us have it. The differences in power and torque between EL and UEL is negligible. The EL is technically better for obvious reasons, but there's nothing really to choose between them. There is only a subtle difference in sound too. If you are going for a manifold make sure you get a resonated exhaust otherwise it will be too loud. I went for a full TD resonated system. I did add two resonators though where the second cat would be to quiten it down a bit.  

    Thanks for the tip with the exhaust Lauren! I've been looking at Non-Res at the minute but with the thought of going fully decat I'll start lookng for Resonated systems. I've only heard good things about the TD NA kit!

    Intresting point about the sound though about UEL vs EL I thought It was a big difference with getting the Subaru Burble.

    Yeah the stanced guy is my friends cousin so. It depends what you're after tbh. UEL will eliminate the torque dip you see at 3-5k rpm but falls out of efficiency. The EL does something to the torque dip to reduce it but it's still there but has better high end power.

    Mine was mapped on road so I don't have any figures but it's noticeably more punchy.
    It depends on what your future goals are
    For me I plan to supercharge so I went for EL as the supercharger will eliminate the torque dip anyways so I wasn't to bothered about UEL.

    Some like the burble of UEL. If you get really fussy you could say UEL is less reliable on engine compared to EL due to uneven pressure between the runners but I don't know how negligible it is or isn't.

    Ohh really? Small world... 

     

    to be be honest I haven’t really noticed the torque dip at the minute but haven’t really driven it hard or at high RPM so that’s probably why I haven’t noticed it. However that being said I’ve never had a Jap car or a boxer engine only reason for thinking UEL is to get the rumble from the engine. 

    Eventually want to go turbo but for now think I’m going to save for the Tuning Devopments NA Kit

    thats fair enough about the figures it’s not about the numbers more just about the driving feel on the road 

    interesting point about the reliability of UEL though never thought of that I’ll do some more reading before pulling the trigger
