Quick question,
Where can i find a nice andd twisty driving road in Belgium without a ridiculous speedlimit of 50 kph on it?
I would like to have some fun in the car, but due to my idiotic leasing contract i'm not allowed to drive it on the circuit.

@Wyllliam, ever thought of going to the Eifel, just across the German border (if that is within your reach, that is)?
Or Luxembourg more south? Some nice winding roads there, too.

If the Nürbrugring is not explicitly mentioned in your contract, it doesn't qualify as a circuit during toursitenfahrten hours.

Hello Wyllliam.
Could take the E411, get off at march-en famenne.
Head for La Roche and then go to Nadrin. Then go to Houffalize (2 roads possible but both fairly fun -one of them passes Achouffe brewery (pitstop?). From there you can plan further to any relatively small road to go to luxemburg.
There are just a few area's with speed limits on that route, but majority is 90, which is in some sections pretty "challenging". Your 86 will like it over there :-)
Longer trip to Eifel or Pfalz in Germany is also nice.

Just go to the Ardennes. Plenty of options there, you won't even have to break the speed limit !

Since FI isn't allowed i'm going to try to get some more (tiny little, but some nonetheless) ponies out of the 86!
Gotta try right! You guys think i'll be able to feel any differece with that setup?
Also it should get lowered, but first i need to work a little more

My taillights btw! Got them from Pansontw here on the forum! Great dude and great service!

Speaking of FI. I read somewhere that ziptuning was working on a sc stage 2.
Given the regulations here in BE , I really doubt it will be streetable.

Anyone got more news on this ?

I don't know much of the regulations here about "tuning" and such, but i know that going waaaaaaaay up in horsies, well... they don't like that
Your insurance won't like it & technical inspection neither...

So there might be places/shops working on such kits, but that means bolting everything off every year when you have to go for technical inspection (keuring)
Or if you can cover everything up so it would look 100% stock, that MIGHT (i'm saying might! ) work

Grtz

Fooling the inspection is one thing... Dealing with the aftermath of an accident with injuries/victims and a non-conform car is another one entirely.

Love the taillights, only thing I would suggest is to remove the Toyota and GT86 badges to further clean up the design... what do you think ?

Exactly !

Then again, I always wonder how brands like Mansory, Hamann, Novitec, Henessy, Rossion etc etc pull it off...

Hey!
Thanks man!
This is just a picture to show the tails, the badges have already been removed the rear reverse lights are led's too, front fogs are yellow wrapped and all the small lights (interior & trunk,...) are all LED's
It's the small things that make it haha
Tomorrow K&N filter & smoking the front signal lights and maybe the reverse light! We'll see how that turns out!

Grtz
