Yesterday not today but fitted the gr intake which has been sitting in the box since January: (Sorry for the non show spec engine bay!)

Overall how do you rate the TRD intake @Sonic ? Can I ask where you bought it from? Toyota Direct Parts are showing it on back order, but it’s showing in stock from Teqsport in the USA, who I think would ship to the JK.

Anyone had any experience of the aFe Takeda Super Stock? It seems to very similar increases to the GR Performance intake, with less installation hassles and seems cheaper. Dyno graph looks similar as well, perhaps less torque gain between 3 and 4k

Surprised me as well, but I would not think official weighbridge would give inaccurate data:

Took mine to a weighbridge. With half a tank of fuel and the addition of the dog travelling platform on the rear seats came in at 1230kg Very happy that it came in under the Toyota quoted figure. The only changes I’ve done to lighten it is changed the exhaust to HKS Hi Power Spec L 2, which...

Used to have a combination of generic rear seat cover, old cushions to fill in the rear seat hollows, a plank to give a level (ish) base and a piece of vet bed. Worked, but was not brilliant so decided to do something a bit better: Kept the seat cover / hammock: 6mm mdf board, cut to fit so...

Have now done just over 3k miles, working out the mileage on each tank full, tend to get in the 28-29 region. But most of the driving is ‘fun’! Having only recently realised how to re-set the display mpg, today had 41.7 when going from home to office along A roads in traffic. Things were...

Not today, but earlier this week. Had a meeting which was located at the end of a very nice B road, so decided it was prudent to take the ‘86

Expensive? Especially if you are impatient and do what I did: Checked with fensport if they had any in stock (no) and how long before delivery (months) found another UK seller, which was more expensive, emailed to ask if they had any in stock - No they hadn’t but will be here in around 2 weeks...

Agree with having the geo sorted. Mine was mis matched on the back. Was very twitchy on right handers (which gave me a ‘twitchy’ rear as well!!) Nothing major just a few, ‘what on earth was that’ moments. Took it to Richard at Tuned UK after reading @S18RSG ’s thread. I was told at the time...

Hi, I’ve got the HKS Spec L2 . Absolutely brilliant bit of kit, very well made and, from inside the car, around the same ‘loudness’ as standard exhaust and the noise generator plugged in. A little louder on cold start and a bit deeper and meatier on tick over. In my mind nothing obnoxious and...

I’ve got a lab, although not heavy, at 26kg is quite tall and lanky. What I found with putting the back seat down was that we were losing too much head height. (Also thought that the two latches sticking out on either side were looking a bit like a ‘poke in the rib’ type hazard?) What we have...

Yes, bought from Fensport. Not many pictures yet sorry. On the first journey back after fitting, with the rear seat down, I thought it was a bit ‘boomy’ at around 2k revs at slow speed in built up areas. But after that I’ve not noticed any drone. Very pleased with it, but I was not after a...

Not today, but yesterday: 4 wheel alignment at TunedUK. Rear wheels were out, (one toe in, one toe out!) these corrected and front adjusted a massive improvement.

Hi Matt, bit of an update on the Spec 2. The mechanic who installed it said that it went on easily and that it didn’t need any adjustments or tweaking. Noise wise, I would say that it’s very similar in normal use to the standard system with the artificial noise generator activated. Cold start...
