  1. Just checked the date and i'm on holiday :(.. Hopefully a club meet will pop up that I can actually attend.

     

    I think I did, I just followed all the members that added me, will keep my eyes peeled.

     

    Will be interested on your experience with the final drive, its on my list of things to look into.


  2. That's where mine came from, dealt with Grant.

     

    Based on the US Price list, the fronts should be about $70. So I reckon about £70-80 a pair once in the UK for the Z Rated ones. Z Rated are front only and are the upgrade pads, 08 Compound are available in both F&R and are pretty much Motorsport pads.

    Part numbers:
    0929 - Fronts (http://www.pfc.parts/product/0929/)
    1124 - Rears (http://www.pfc.parts/product/1124/)

    I know GB Enterprises do Z rated for £72, not on their website though.


  3. I have the performance friction front pads and rate them highly, never heard a squeal and they were not smoking or fading after 15 min sessions at Silverstone, I had the oem smoking on the road on my test drive. Very low brake dust levels too, much less than oem. Can't comment on durability as they have only been on for 6,000 miles. But they look almost new still. 

    Have also had EBC yellow stuff (new compound) and rate them highly along with ds2500's. Both on other cars, not on the 86.

     

    Hope this helps.


  4. Aluminium, can be a bit cold when it's frosty but only for a few mins. It is really nice to shift with so its worth it.

    Was looking at those the other day, might have to try some when the conti's die. My only concern with them is wet/cold roads, so will probably end up with winter and summer wheels and tyres tbh. Even doing 10-15 min stints has done a lot of damage and wear to the conti's.


  5. Have just got back from my first trackday in the GT86 and all I can say is wow, what an awesome machine on track. Did silverstone national, racked up just over 90 laps and used a whole tank of fuel :D. Downloading my gopro footage now and will pop some links up over the weekend. Defiantly need track tyres for next time round though, the contisport 5's have taken a beating.
