BOYCE's Hot Lava Gentle Beast - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

BOYCE · 01-22-2013, 02:01 AM

Thanks to MLK for today's holiday! I was kinda busy at work since the start of the new year and wasn't able to find time to do something on my car. But today, I did.

For today's install, I had the following:

Cusco Oil Catch Can- This thing works as a crankcase vent filter. It bypasses the connection between the crankcase and air induction intake track. This relieves any pressure placed against the valve train under engine load. However, unlike a crankcase vent filter, the oil expelled by the valve train will not drip into the engine bay. The oil catch tank will catch all excess oil that is blown out by the valve train.

Cusco Rear Pillowball Lateral Link- These adjustable links help control unwanted force under acceleration and braking. They are designed to secure traction in drifting and stability during acceleration under high speed cornering.
Cusco Powerbrace Rear End- These powerbraces are good for handling excessive corners. They are designed to stiffen up your chassis and help reduce vehicle body flex. Hard turns in twisties will be a breeze with these.

APR Formula GT3 Mirror – These mirrors are designed to give race inspired looks with the functionality of reducing drag and eliminating blind spots with wide angle mirror lenses. They are compact and aerodynamically shaped for a low drag coefficient.

Is there any noticeable difference with the catch can?

rice_classic · 01-22-2013, 10:00 PM

Why are your tow hooks left in the bumpers? Were you recently pulled out of a gravel trap?

Kyubi · 01-22-2013, 10:05 PM

Those mirrors make me cry...

Pete · 01-22-2013, 10:53 PM

It's a thing of beauty, I like it. I wish I had all that cusco gear.

Honestly, I don't know yet. I just had it recently installed and I don't drive this in a daily basis. But I'll keep an eye on this mod once I start pushing the car to it's limit.

I like it there. It looks good anyway in my own opinion. So Colin, which medal or trophies are you taking home this year?

Fair enough, and it'll be one less step when you show up for a track day.

And how do you know my secret identity?

btw: car looks very good.

Really like your setup. Usually I'm not a fan of plain black wheels, but I like how you play with the colors on your car, they really match perfectly to the aero parts.

Is there a chance you could post a picture of the front wheel where I can see if/how much it pokes out of the fender? I'm currently running a 8.75 +35 Wheel with 245 on stock suspension and they poke out a bit, and I try to get rid of that by using eibach pro kit springs. As you setup is nearly the same I would give me some Idea what I have to expect.

Thanks. I'm glad you like the combination. It took me awhile to decide though.

Hopefully, these pictures would work for you. We have a bad weather here in Ca, US. These are the best pics I could do for you right now.

Awesome, thank you very much, exactly what I needed. I'm confident now that the Eibach springs will solve my issue :-)
Thanks again
