Any GT86 owners from Belgium? - Page 23 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

In my case, a transmission oil flush helped a whole lot.

Did you replace the tranny oil with the same as stock?

Guillaume · 11-06-2013, 06:36 AM

I guess so. My Subaru dealer did it.

my gears were a little crunchy at first but around the time i got broken in evrything went silky smooth

Same here.
The 86 is pretty sensitive to proper breaking-in.
... And to giving it some time to heat up before starting to push.
My gears were rather ... notchy/sturdy (=a pain in the ...) when new. Couple of thousand km's later, nicely crisp when warm. Still you feel that everything just works better when it reaches normal working temperature though (which can take quite a few km's , weather dependant). But I've read on several forums that people were complaining about the gears, and that they went for different tranny oils. Personally I'd be very cautious when going for other than OEM oils for the box. Thinner oil might feel nice in the beginning, until you find out 10-15k km later you're synchros or gears are worn out as the lubrication film was broken under pressure conditions. Same goes for 'racing' oils, they can be very different chemically as you change them very frequently anyway. So no issues with long term deposits (= no detergent doping agents required). Kinda different in 'normal use' conditions.

Quick question.
I know there are specific threads for it, but nevertheless...
anyone has good suggestions here for a nice sounding exhaust, purchased in Belgium somewhere? Ideal one : sounds nice -deep- but within reasonable (approved) limits and breathes free-er so that a few ponies more are available.
Or if there are exhausts with a controllable bypass (some 911's have those) where a flick of a swich makes the exhaust silent or loud?

I am more than please with my Milltek, that I ordered and installed through http://www.shiftech.be/

Good service as well, got a part of the exhaust replaced under warranty without any problems.

Supersprint stated that they could make one with an electronic valve but that it would probably be €€€.

Problem is that most approved exhausts just dont sound that good!

Hey guys,

I'm from Belgium and got my GT86 last week

I actually have an exhaust question too, does anyone know of some Invidia dealers in Belgium or Benelux? I'm really liking the N1 with TI tips!
I've only found one dealer and am awaiting respons!

Grtz

JoeHK · 02-17-2014, 01:24 PM

Never mind! I just found out they don't come with the E-Mark

I might have to go custom... Skytune maybe... anyone got experience with these guys? Or won't you advise it for the GT?

Grtz

Got some more pictures on the way of the KW coil-over installation and the result made by the dealership before I picked it up.

- KW V3 -20mm ( Thx Performance Shop Geel )
- Work Emotion CR Ultimate 18x9.5 ( Thx JDMAutoparts NL )
- Good Year Eagle F1 Assymetric2 245/35 R18

Enjoy!

Can I see a shot of the header and air it's possible can we get a vid clip of the exhaust note? Super curious about sard!

A little bit of fun, with the 16" winter tyres.

Guillaume · 02-19-2014, 07:02 AM

With a video for good measure.
