    Avo Turbo No 11 all the way from Hungary :)

    I'm not sure I'm in spec for that nickname :-) Maybe No. 11 car should have been ordered by a lady with real legs 11...

    Going great, I had a lot of fun with it since I picked up at your place, it is standing now since I'm now waiting for a gasket to arrive :-(

    Hi Spec K, Thanks a lot, indeed the turbo is a wholly different experience. I actually kept the factory wheels for track days with some Toyo R888 tyres, so I cannot go for bigger discs yet. I did exchange the factory discs to Stoptech's grooved discs though (and related pads of course), calipers are still the factory ones. It is in my plans to buy 18" wheels for track days and then I will go for some bigger brake discs and good calipers, too. I normally visit a racetrack which is fairly slow (cannot really get up to a very high speed in lack of long straights), so the grooved discs seem to be efficient there, however on the road, specifically on the motorways in Germany they don't seem to be able to handle the heat generated when braking from higher speed (like 230 km/hour or above). I have the same problem with my other car (which is actually much heavier) so I ordered a Brembo GT set with cross-drilled discs for that, they are installing it next week, I'll see how it works and then I'll make decision which way to go with my beloved GT86 :-)

    Hi Rob, It's long but comfortable. I got the Koni absorbers and the -25mm Tein springs just like yourself and it was still cosy enough to drive through South England, NW France, Belgium, a bit of the Netherlands, Germany and Austria before getting home :-) BR Peter

    Hi Jay, It is a great car as it comes out of the factory but the mods made it even better. I drove home from Chatteris (it is about 1100 miles) and I enjoyed every yard of it. BR Peter

    Thanks Faith, I feel so. It looks very nice on the 19 inch 5 axis wheels. Peter

    Hi Guys, I'm a new member to the drivers' club from Hungary. I just had my orange GT86 fitted with the AVO kit by the guys at Fensport last week. Excited to join the club of other fans of this fantastic car. BR Peter
