Awesome stuff, where did you get the master cylinder brace from?

It's a LAILE Beatrush Master Cylinder Brace. Got it second hand but it looks brand new .

Only the optional seats are available with heaters, I just have the poverty spec.

I have also just fitted a Brake master cylinder brace, it's made a surprising difference to pedal feel, especially under heavy braking. For £20 was an absolute bargain.

Added a Yospeed plaque to tidy thing up a bit, still need a decent soundclip of the exhaust.

Great idea, pm on its way.

A pity they not revised the standard power though

But is it? As we now all own a 200hp model a more powerful one would have a horrible effect on our re sale values, if/when they are sold.

They do, will have an adjust at the weekend. I'm away Saturday, where's the grasshopper? is it a club meeting spot?

Thought I'd start a little thread as the mods are starting to add up on my GT86 now   

 

First thing was an HKS panel filter and some chrome bulbs to loose the horrible orange one's in the indicators.

 

The squealing front brakes very quickly led me to some Performance friction pads which did the trick, have now got some hel lines and motul fluid waiting to be fitted.

 

I also have some subframe inserts ready to go on. 

 

My most recent mod was last night, fitted a Japspeed cat back which took about an hour, so nice to change an exhaust without cutting all the old bolts off   .

 

Anyway a few pics, including one of my previous leon cupra.

 

Car on the first weekend after Goodwood breakfast club.

Will keep this updated and try and get some videos soon.

 

[Hello]

Hi & Welcome from another Sussex Member

Thanks, based on the fact you have red tow hooks its probably you I saw in Horsham a couple of Fridays ago?

[Hello]

Fluid upgrade will go in with the lines, I did look at the master cylinder brace, but the appear expensive for what the are. Might look at making one myself.

 

I appear to have opened a can of rubber worms...

I like the silly slidey tyres until i'm on a decent bit of road and then I find they are lacking, especially under braking, ABS kicking in too often even under what I consider average brake pressure. 

Have had pilot sport 3's and eagle F1's on my previous car and they were excellent imo. So personally I will change away from the stock tyres when they need changing.

But I might track it with whats left of the stock tyres and then see what happens.

 

Not wanting a track monster as I already own a stripped and caged golf Gti with a mate for those duties

[Hello]

Spec K, there's a track orientated reason behind the pad and line upgrade . Think I might change the standard tyres first though! Not sure how many laps I would get on them...

There is also a FI saving jar on my desk.

[Hello]

Thanks for the welcome all, will pop some pics up when I get chance to take some good ones.

Hi Ian,

Where are you based? Any chance of a full side view pic?

[Hello]

It's a slope I know all too well... I actually ordered my panel filter before I collected the car, next decision is exhaust.

[Hello]

Hi,

Just signed up so thought I'd say hello, had my gt86 8 weeks now and still love it although I have started on the slippery modding slope.

Cars a 63 plate grey 86, currently got a panel filter and updated pads. And I have some powerflex bushes and hel lines sat here waiting to go on.
