I’d get the power flex inserts first, as a intermediate step between “much stiffer” and “unbearable noise and NVH” as this will add a lot of the latter.

Allegedly (discovered by German tuner mentioned earlier) on 6th gear above 200 km/h, car throttle opens only up to 80% even with gas pedal fully depressed. That might account for additional lower acceleration above that speeds.

That's actually quite genius how you tapped the lines. The problem I see however, is frequent screwing in and out sandwich plate adapters, and even the threads. However, it is something I'll have to consider for winter time...

Allegedly there is a way, tuner in Germany was able to lift it

Wait, what? You remove the sandwich plate from the oil loop for normal road usage?

It's 228 km/h on 6th gear. The tachometer is dead center at 6K RPM I believe? I've read somewhere, that in Germany, tuner was able to lift it and overall car is capable going beyond 250 although it's very slow at this point. Gearing itself is set to around 275 km/h on 6th gear but car is...

Agree!!

Car is dropped around 20mm F and R, with approx. -2,25* negative camber at the rear and -2,70 at front, so not needed to mess around. As long as car is lowered, natural camber gain will allow you to fit 245/35 tyres on 9J wheels without issues. 255 and 9,5J is a different story tho. Directly...

...Not looking further anymore, at least for daily and winter setup (retaining stock 18"). 18x9J ET42, Apex VS5-RS forged replicas, with 245/35 Yokohamas V107. Must admit, car really gains a lot and shines with forged, high quality wheels. Definitely looks "more expensive" now than ever...

From this angle, the GT4 RS looks like a "Ooo, that's a nice upgrade fromToyota." ...till you compare price tag between these two :eek:

Wrong approach I should say. Both of them, GR86 and BRZ loses toe-in when rear compresses, so both of them benefits the same, as rear subframe is taken from other Subarus. In other words, issue is with design itself, no matter the car.

Hey, My factory battery is having a hard time cranking engine while it's colder outside. Not to mention, I once discharged it for good by leaving head lamp turned on, regardless. I'm looking to replace it with new one and was hoping for some discussion, what to look for? Seems like AGM is a new...

I seriously consider some sort of lockout kit for rear toe like this: https://us.gktech.com/products/zn6-86-brz-eccentric-lockout-kit?srsltid=AfmBOor685O7dT0dcgQfoQ4RqJocOE-fZo315ysZKYnFkiTPa3RTAtM3 Geniuly no point messing with it if your intentions arent very specific (track focused), for...

Go with MAX A/C button next time, you will cooldown drastically the cabin and you won't sweat till about 7-8-10 minutes later, depends how long are your session. On cooldown laps, car will automatically engage A/C again so you will start cooling of interior cabin. No point sweating if there is a...

Amazing photo What is your fender garnish?

Thinking same, but I’d rather get back to stock quiet cat back, just go to the workshop that could weld AWE tips in place of OEM ones so looks remain the same. Let us know your results if you decide to go that route.

Tip for setting the length. Overall you want it to set it so there is free movement and enough distance for wheels to turn freely. Meaning If you jack up the car from front axle, set it as long as possible, that if you turn the wheel all the way in one direction, either right or left, it will...

I have BRZ so I could get away with just a revolution rear end links. https://www.blackhawkjapan.com/products/revolution-rzd8-rss?srsltid=AfmBOorNWDt21h0V7cLxbEUaYmYrr5V6TxupA-PKFdDZEy1pu1ItEQj- It is still a bit angled but no force is being applied and sway bar can move freely. On GR86 on the...

Not obsessive at all. It all boils down to strict EU eco politics. Read the US manual for GR86 and Subaru BRZ - owners of the engine. Read the manual for Japan market as well. It mentions specific mileage OR time interval, in this case, they expect engine oil to last maximum 6 months even if...

Anyone with Girodiscs here?
