What's the final graph? The Y axis says something like "AFR"...?

Few updates on this.

I fitted my new wheel nuts as the ones that came with the wheels I have were looking a bit tatty.:-



I also had a whiteline positive shift void bush fitted to sharpen the gear change.

Few more updates.

Ordered and fitted a TRD door stabiliser kit. Difference is small but noticeable - car definitely seems a little sharper



Also fitted a HT Autos front lip spoiler.





Fitted a japspeed carbon strut brace:-



I fitted a master cylinder brace:-





Seems a worthwhile pocket money mod.

Fittthea new gear knob I ordered from Anarchy Motive in the US. It's a hefty thing but really improves the shift feel and I like it being closer to the wheel than the stock one.

Few pics:-

Standard knob for weight comparison:



New one:

Picked up some new shoes for me and the car:-



Tyres are now on my wheels:-



And some nice shiny new nuts:-

Nice looking GT. How are you finding the strut brace, does it make much difference?

Also what owners club are you on that does all the karting, sounds like you need a bit of competition..

It doesn't make a massive difference I don't think but I'm working on the every little helps principle!

The karting was with the GT86 owners club - it was the first national meet.

Couple of updates.

Federals are now fitted when I swapped over to my summer wheels. My impression so far can pretty much be summed up in one word. Wow.





Next up a few suspension bits are being done. Hopefully the Cusco rear brace, along with the carbon front brace and the trd door stabiliser kit, will give the suspension upgrades a nice stable platform to work from.

I've also picked up a whiteline rear camber bush kit in preperation for the suspension fitting.

[DeaconFrost]

Few more whiteline bits and pieces I had fitted:-



There was a front arb kit too but I couldn't fit everything in!

[DeaconFrost]

I had all the suspension parts fited including a set of Tein Flex A coilovers which use their hydraulic bump stops:-













A quick 'finished' picture the dealership sent me:-



I also ordered a carbon ducktail spoiler from Japan as I've never been a fan of the standard one.

[DeaconFrost]

Grabbed a quick couple of pictures to show how it's sitting now a bit clearer:-

Got a few bits to spruce the wheels up:-

[DeaconFrost]

My spoiler finally arrived. I've only got a quick couple of pictures at the moment though:-





It's a Legsport Clubsport Ducktail in carbon fibre. It's amazing how light it is compared to the stock spoiler.

[DeaconFrost]

When I changed my spoiler I took a few spoilerless pictures too. I really like it:-

I took part in a sprint at Curborough yesterday.

Good read and interesting updates

[Joey Ramone]

Great looking car. If I had some cash I'd be all over one of these like a cheap suit. Black, like yours, tasteful mods and some restrained tuning. Oh yes.

[lel]

Love this, nice job!

[DeaconFrost]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

They are definitely made to be tweeked. A few changes really brings them alive - so much fun on track.

Shame they don't do something like this from the factory - a sort of clubsport type spec.

[Joey Ramone]

Love the yellow detail on the wheels. Really sets the black off.

[DeaconFrost]

Cheers. I wasn't sure about the yellow rim when I first got the wheels but ended up being quite happy with the way they turned out.
