Any GT86 owners from Belgium?

[robbie2440]

Hello,

I'm Robin and i'm new to this forum.
Soon I will post some pictures of my new GT86.

I need a question about the fog lights and marker bulbs.

How do I change them (maybe here is an tutorial about how to change them,)?
And what type of bulbs do I need for fog lights AND markers?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Robin

The marker bulbs are T20 and are easy tot swap, the small ones on the side are T10 (I think). The fog lights are some weird bulbs, better to switch them for the normal H bulbs. JoeHK is also doing that swap.

Indeed, big turn signals (front & stock tails) are both T20 and the small ones on the side are T10 just like license plate lights & such
The fogs are PSX24W bulbs which are probably the MOST ANNOYING fitting i have ever encountered.
Like elBarto said, i'm now in the process of the doing the switch to H11 bulbs, you'll need:
- a PSX24W to H11 pigtail (you can get this from Spoonzauto on this forum, i am i no way affiliated with this company but i got to say, their service is top notch)
- H11 bulbs (duuuuh )
- H11 bulb housings (you can get these from http://www.ft86speedfactory.com or http://www.fteightysix.com
Or you could get them from a 2011 Outback if i'm not mistaking, but those might be harder to come by & may be more expensive if you get them thru our subby dealers, so better to get them from the states

That should be about it! To replace the fog lights or front turn signale you just have to unclip 3 "self-clipping clips" (lol, don't know how else to explain ) and then you can just pull back the plastig flap (from the fender liner) and reach the bulbs by prying your hand between the fender liner & the front bumper
Or you could search the forum for a DIY, once you've done it once it'll be easy peasy :p

Hope i helped out!

Thank you very much for the quick response. You helped me alot!

[JoeHK]

So hey guys!
Hope you all doing well

I would like to clean up the engine bay a bit and was wondering if it'would harm the car if i removed the ugly resonator on the left of the stock airbox, i don't exactly count on going CAI anytime soon so this seems like a clean option
I know it's possible but can't seem to be able to find any straight up answers if it's harmfull...

So if anyone knows, let me know

Grtz

As a reference:

[elBarto]

It shouldn't be harmful to remove it, the intake noise just will be louder/ higher pitched than stock.
But it could cost you a few horses.
Mishimoto did some test with and without the resonator and with the resonator they made the most power. See this topic.

edit:
Here is more info

[JoeHK]

Thanks for the links!
Think i'll skip it if i'm going to loose horses & might just have to save up for a perrin intake then lol!

Hey guys, this group buy is closed right now but this guy might be making these again in the future... Do you think we'd be allowed to install such a part or not? (technical inspection and such) Cause this seems like a VERY GOOD alternative to that ugly a$$ brick on the rear deck shelf we have right now...

Finally got around to finishing my stock tires. Tons of fun

Guillaume, are you doing this in sport mode or TC completely off ?

[Guillaume]

TC completely off, sport mode would never let you get that much slip angle. Plus I find it particularly unsettling when it decides to put the car back straight, I kinda hate sport mode.

Thank god I'm not the only one I just think it starts to interfere just a bit early. It just allow for mini skids, but as soon as you get into a nice drifting position it throws you right back...
