    CW Facelift EK9 SOLD

    Yup... twice. Suspected a poorly baffled sump or oil pickup line to be the issue in the end. The B16B was a nice and strong engine so I put it back in to save me spending lots to fix the B18 and allowed me to recoup some costs.

    CW Facelift EK9 SOLD

    My old 9, can't believe you're selling so quickly but GLWTS mate. Josh has got the ad spot on, the chassis and engine are great. BTW, I did the engine swap(s) ;-) I'm also happy to answer any questions as I was the 1st UK owner but I doubt there's any more I can add to the above. Someone...

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    You're right, well spotted :nice: He has his winter tyres on those wheels as I think he got the alloys for £60. He still has his OEM wheels for when warmer weather returns.

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    Had my trip to Litchfield the other week. Rocked up with c.1500 miles on the clock. This was the requirement: - Oil & Filter Change - Install Powerflex Positive Shifter Bushing - Install Litchfield Eibach springs and have their fast road setup - Have the ECUtek remap...

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    Well I got round to installing my new parts today - AVO Intake 76mm pipe (stock is 70mm) and K&N filter . Also got my 1st oil change kit (Toyota oil, filter and washer) delivered yesterday so all ready to go to Litchfield next week. For those that are interested, just, er.... stole...

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    Just thought I'd share my Christmas lunch meet from today. Not quite as good a show as expected but all the same:

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    I don't bleed money, or oil, or petrol :)) Tama, you're probably right. A better FD would definitely help.

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    :nono:There is a reason for using a boxer rather than an inline engine - lower COG ;)

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    Probably so, but then we are on an EK9 forum ;) Also, I bet that most of them haven't been out for a drive in the new car. One of the guys on the GT86OC has sold his E92 M3 to get a GT and he says he prefers it..... I would have thought that the M3 would be seen as a pretty decent driver's car...

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    Because it creates a car that is designed only to chase numbers and lap times. Look how far the hot hatch market has come in the last decade. Honda was the 1st to push 200bhp into a hatchback which was deemed alot. Now they're all pushing 250bhp+ and you can see there's a war going on. It's not...

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    When you consider that now-a-days that for almost exactly that cash will buy you: RS Megane (a cup edition will cost you more!) Focus ST Golf GTi (the basic one) Astra VXR So pretty much bang on money for a new Civic Type R too when it arrives I'd expect. So.... not all that expensive...

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    Compression is high so all the boosted options are low boost at the moment (< 8psi) but that should keep the throttle response up. Most are about 250rwhp too so easily enough power. I'll save the money on mods and just put it towards trackdays. Trackday insurance isn't cheap on these ;) TBH...

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    Litchfield are fitting the parts in one go. I organised a group buy on the ECUtek package and have added a few bits onto the list. It rides a little to high so a 30mm drop should settle that. They are well known for their suspension setups so I thought it'd be good to combine them in one visit...

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    I actually think on the dark colours they work well. The dark accents on the wheel are almost an exact match to the grey on the car. They've grown on me alot so I will be getting some track wheels, but for the road I'm more than happy with these. They aren't heavy either ;)

    Tegiwa race shifter, keep punching my dash lol

    What about 3rd or 5th then? :D

    My Grey ZN6 GT86

    Thought I'd finally post up about my GT86. Having followed the development from concept I had eagerly awaited it but had never anticipated that I'd actually buy one. I'm sure that by now everyone is aware of the specs and what it's capable of so I won't bore you any more, so I'll just post...

    New Toyota..... Hachiroku

    Thought this may be of interest. Supersprint have posted up some stock dyno runs of the GT86 vs CTR. Not sure which CTR (EP or FN) but here's the graph: The dark red is the Civic and the light is the GT86/BRZ. Goes to show that until the top of the graph that the stock K20 is no stronger...

    2012 Mugen Fit Shuttle

    They've been doing this for quite a while now. They do bits to every Honda and it's not all performance orientated, especially now they like to tinker with hybrids. The problem is that the markets are all headed towards emission based sales..... they'd be silly not to follow suit or they'll go...

    B16b high idle and no vtec?!

    Poor earth somewhere?

    Cooling fan intermittently not working.

    Otherwise known as the ECT sensor. Really simple to replace, it's next to the thermostat.... just have to drain the fluids. If you've got a workshop manual you can test the cabling is all ok, but I suspect it's the sensor.
