Parked up at the EVO triangle

All fitted. Took 7L of oil with a slight overfill. Look forward to testing oil pressure on track next month. Anyone else fitted theirs yet? Can't help but think the manifold looks like something out of alien vs predator 😁

Which users have reported leaks at the connectors for the HEL unit? Mine is the 13 Row HEL kit and is completely dry, been on for 10k miles now. @GRinning have you had any leaks with yours?

Would recommend Rogue Motorsport if you're that way. Many of us with 86's use that as a trusted (if a little pricey) independent

Happy to be corrected here, but for a vast majority -I don't think "upgrading" discs is necessary unless they're worn down considerably and you fancy a change of pattern (e.g. jhook/groove). The stock discs, paired with good pads (with good bite/feel), and fresh brake fluid , should be...

From what I understand most kits are always open by about 10%, and then fully open when they reach the threshold on the sandwich plate (92C for my HEL 13 row kit), which means it overcools for most of the time especially on the motorway where it'll sit in the 70's celcius range for most folks...

Realised today that the door arm rest really isn't that comfortable on long journeys , and it seems like somewhere halfway down it goes from nice cushion to solid plastic under the surface. Typical that my elbow naturally sits on the join 😂. Anyone else find this? Think I might get a pad cut...

I did this a week or so ago, its fine but get a rubber mallet ready to separate the bells from the old discs. Also would suggest using a wire brush attachment on a drillbit to get each face as clean as possible (please dont use it on your own face) when reattaching. Mine had a teeny bit of...

I use the the GJP box. https://www.geraldjustprojects.com/product/gjp-io-box/ with oil pressure from the OE switch location. Have done several trackdays with it. The dips are real, although I dont think anyone knows where the danger zone really is. I'll be getting the FD Pan soon, look forward...

Anyone from here ?

Similarly to the run of the 'first service' posts we had on this forum, the recent feedback of the poor service from Toyota for something simple like an MOT/service book update is the reason i'll avoid dealerships like the plague. As always you'll often hear of the negatives more than the...

Yeah, maybe a different way to tackle it. Definitely need to see some data on it. The gen1 (gt86/brz) had 0.4L higher engine oil capacity. I wonder if by reducing the capacity (for environmental consideration) in the gen2 hasnt helped us here. Hard to tell unless the design of the oiling...

Last week popped back up to Krown to top up the rustproofing. Was told it still looked like a new car underneath, even at ~35k miles! Very pleased as I use it all year round.

I was fairly sure multiple baffle options / designs were tested over the last couple of years, with little to no improvement and the community had settled on extra capacity being the cure. Would be interested to see some data backing up the design for the HKS offering to see if it actually helps

I agree, pretty sure it runs on demand for me. With headlights on I can use the headlight washer jet as many times as I like if i hold the stalk forward long enough
