if this doesn't work we should really set up a meet! it would be nice to meet some fellow ft86 nuts!!

I won't be able to until the second half of next week but at that point I'm in.

cool, we need to set up a day/time. Are week days after work better or weekends? What area of London does everyone prefer? As I said before if anyone is interested in joining in the Subie meet those guys are always nice and love the BRZ/FRS (we got a ton of attention with the wife's) or on our own is fine too

side not got a few parts put on the wife's car last weekend (coils, sways, exhaust, wheels) has any one local got a shark fin antenna? which on did everyone get? I'm gonna order one for the wifey and ship it to port huron and pick it up if anyone else is interested (saves brokerage)

They do that Subaru meet every week? Same place? I might be able to stop this week. I have the 2" perrin Stubby antenna on my car, looks really good. I found most shark fins for the 86 are too big to accomadate fitting over the factory mount. Seen some at the Toronto cruise, didn't really like them.

Where is the subaru meet held every week? I might be able to make that.
I work 9-5 during the week but weekday evenings and weekends are hit and miss for me. I have to play it by ear although a lot of my Saturdays are booked up for the next while.

Also, what exhaust did you get for the car? I'm really interested in hearing any aftermarket exhaust in person because youtube videos just don't quite cut it.

the meet is held (in the summer) at the dairy queen at fleet way bowling off oxford st on proudfoot lane

I put the Invidia N1 on her car, its not bad sounding. Its not crazy loud, and not buzzy sounding at highway speed. I honestly just bought it to tie us over till winter turbo install. the quality is nice! but the weird thing is it hit a sheet metal part of the frame/body that require me to bend it out of the way.

I also put Tein Type Flex coilovers on it and Whiteline front sway/end link kit, the rear is still on back order :-( gotta do a few more suspension upgrades once I get a chance to do more research on whats what on these cars.

Now that you mention that I remember you starting that already. My bad. I was too lazy to look. I've been thinking about the nameless exhaust but I really like the ark DTS. I'd like to go fi at some point so I like the idea of ending up with a full 2.5" exhaust and I won't get that with the nameless. Wish I had the money to do all the things you're doing though. What turbo are you planning on going with?

[RedFR-s]

I'm putting a header-back Perrin exhaust on this weekend. May be in London in the next couple weeks on weekends, not permanent until Aug though.

[grant]

I won't be going to the meet tonight, got done late at my shop tonight. not sure what turbo kit yet, I like FBM kit, and would love to do the E85 kit, but gotta work the logistics of having E85 readily available, and with only finding one station in london (and its a card lock) I'm tossing the idea of a 250G tank at my shop.

doing a meet on the weekend works for me, I work most/all saturdays, but if anyone is interested feel free to stop by my shop (located a few mins away from white oaks mall) I have a hoist if anyone needs to do installs. I'm swapping the clutch in an '11 STi on saturday.

I'd love to hear the Perrin header back if/when you're around!

I saw the Subarus team outside of fleetway just now. The Subaru look so nice.
BTW I am new in this from and I purchased a white frs last month. Hi everyone.

What shop do you work at? We have a pit at work, but a hoist may come in handy!

Yeah, I really like the look of the FBM kit. Seems like it has the best elements of all the kits and looks like it makes pretty good power without needing a ton of boost/ has good boost response. I'm still on the fence though. Pretty much looking between the Vortech/FBM turbo/FA20Club turbo/Innovate twin screw.

I would also really like to have a listen to the Perrin header back. May as well make a meet up out of it.

No doubt. Headers and full exhaust would be a whole lot nicer on a lift than it is on jackstands in my garage.

congrats on the purchase, the wifey's is white (personal favourite colour, WRB is a close second)

I own Tangent Car Care, its a detailing service, but I like cars and working on them so I put in a hoist and have a few other "toys" to help with working on things

ya I think I will enjoy the summer reviews to make my decision easier, I have a supercharger on my truck, and had a few turbo'd subies over the years. . I gotta admit that I'm a turbo guy! lol
