Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

OR! Tell him to get one of those new Toyota 86s! ;)

They are surprisingly cheap and seem pretty awesome, I must say I'm a big fan of them.

Not enough powah. Wait till they release a turbo version... They totally will.

goes against the philosophy of the 86, it's all balance and handling.

Lets be honest. The only reason the old 86 made it anywhere is because of initial D. Apart from that it was a cheap shitbox that people could drift. And in todays standards of cars its not too much to ask a car competing in the market it is to have a turbocharged option. Whats the point in owning a car that can go around a corner a bit faster than your average if it cant accelerate out of it....

The fact it's so underpowered for what it's competing as is the only reason I dislike them.

As Anthony said, racetracks have straights. My mate who owns one loves it, but hates the fact it's gutless below 4000rpm.

I hear what your saying. But thats the current Toyota philosophy and is fine for your "comuters" and the regular population.

In my opinion It should be optioned up to mix it in the sports classs. Perhaps it may be left up to the enthusiasts to do this - who knows.

It's great to see you post Dan. WB :cheers:

They should have mate the GTS 5k more and made it a turbocharged option. It's just not quite there in terms of powahhh.

I'm not against seeing it boosted, just can't see how it could be introduced without upsetting their focus and marketing of it. besides, where better to get that boosted feeling than the gtr?

in the end, I think the bean counters will have the final say.

LOL - yeah, I comment about as much as I drive my gtr! must get around to meeting up with you guys some time (I've been sitting around for years...) :)

There isn't any new cars that sit in that cheap, quick market. The 86/BRZ would completely rule it.

My 1998 Prelude VTiR has the same KW's at the fly.

Admittedly its front wheel drive but why would I buy an 86 (spose it is RWD) but other than that - meh

Haven't gone far in over a decade

Exacery. And 40k isn't cheap for a daily bash around drive lol.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
