Toyota GT86 CS-CUP tires

[Racecomp Engineering]

The wheels are 17x8 +50 offset OZ. Not listed as Ultraleggera but look like Ultraleggera.

I've seen the wheels in person. They do look like Ultraleggaras, but they have non-aluminum inserts for the lug nuts. They aren't cheap.

They're actually not too expensive (and we carry them and all the TMG parts). I'm actually surprised how reasonable the cost is on most of the TMG parts. If anyone is interested, let me know.

Stainless steel inserts for the lug nuts is really nice...my BRAIDs have them.

Other than durability, are there any other benefits to the steel inserts? Are there any other differences between the TMG wheel and the standard Ultraleggera?

Bragging rights.

Just more durability if you're taking them on and off a lot. And the inserts are replaceable. And bragging rights I guess.

Not sure on any other differences with standard Ultraleggera, other than that and offset.

What type of TMG parts do you carry?



Basically can a customer pick something out of their online catalogue and ask you for a quote on an item?

Basically everything except the seats and harness.

Coilovers, brakes, wheels, intake, exhaust, etc.

Racecomp Engineering: weren't TMG cars also with own header & ecu tune? Are those available options too?

Well this unbelievably exciting news for me and the car and bad news for my wallet.


I was under the impression you had to be a registered race team/own a cup car to be able to access those parts. Although this is just based on a single post that I saw when I was trying to find the TMG Intake.



There seems to be a real lack of knowledge concerning these parts. Do you think it's just because they are so rare/hard to acquire or because the aftermarket generally tends to come up with better solutions?

Yes, those too.

The header is one of the more expensive parts, but it's available.

We can get pretty much everything. I do not have an idea of what lead times are like yet though. Let me know what you're interested in and I can work with you on all of that.

I think the rarity/availability is a big part of it and the fact that there just isn't a lot of information on the parts. But also these are very specifically designed and built for a spec race series...MOST aftermarket parts here are designed with major concern for streetability. Obviously the type of part will affect how much that changes the design (or not) but these are race parts first and foremost.

EDIT: my assumption is that most aftermarket parts would be clear step behind the TMG parts, seeing as they just won Le Mans But results may vary. There are a couple parts I'd really like to get my hands on for myself.

Just that isn't TMG's header catless? And imho tune to accompany it might be only "official one" with adjusted cat readiness checks for that, whereas all other ecu tuning shops need to disable those checks for CEL to not get thrown

See below.

TMG Software - includes flat-foot shift, auto-blip
Exhaust- TMG Motorsport exhaust system with 2 FIA Motorsport catalysers

(Although the cats are not in the header, they're much farther back in the system like a lot of race cars)
