GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

Got the chance to test (and buy) a "brake stopper". Installation was easy, the result is convincing. It limits the movement of the master cylinder very effective which results in a better brake feeling (including a shorter pedal travel). See -here-

Bye for now Fred
 
I've seen a similar thing on Fensport. Do they make a difference for day-to-day driving or is this a Track Day thing?

Makes a difference - even on light braking. Make a test: Put your finger on the master brake cylinder and let someone fully press the pedal. You'll be impressed how much movement there is...

Told the workshop to go for -30 mm. Not sure about the final outcome yet. I have not been a able to pick up the car again today :cry: Looking forward to tomorrow. At least they have sent me a few photos and I like what I see (y)

@ritch I hope these are the right numbers because I never cared about them and had to look them up.

Front
Preload spring: 10
Main spring: 40

Rear
Preload spring: 10
Main spring: 50

This suspension has an adjustable rebound damping (via 16 clicks). ST recommends 9 clicks which is also the default setting. I have changed it to 10 clicks (towards softer) for now. I think the next days will show if I have to play around with the settings but so far it feels right. The guy from the workshop also did a test drive and meant it feels perfect and he would not change it. We will see...
 
Just fitted an HKS panel filter. Not a huge change....bit of a louder induction noise and it kind of feels like the engine revs a little easier. But no real increase in power. Will take it out for a drive in the morning if it's not pissing down, see how it feels when I stretch the car's legs.

Snap just did the same.

The HKS looks like cotton wool.

Original looks to be a Subaru part.

Not really noticed much difference so far, easy enough switch, no screws just a couple of latches, takes a bit of moving around to seal it back in though.
 
Not the same make of Brake Stopper but it is RHD
