The Swedish trackday 86

Hi folks.

I've been lurking here for a while now and figured it's time to make an appearance. I drive a 2013 GT86 (Yes, not an FR-S) since a little while back, in pursuit of a better track experience.

My name is Jonathan and I live in Stockholm, Sweden, where it's 3 hours to the nearest proper track.

EDIT: I'll add a list of the stuff I've put on here:
- Öhlins R&T w/ 80N/mm springs
- Essex AP Sprint 299mm BBK front
- Stainless steel brake lines f & r
- Raceseng CasCam plates front
- HKS EL header
- HKS Hi-Power Spec L catback
- HKS Airfilter
- HKS Oil cooler
- HKS GT2 supercharger (w/ 41mm restrictor)
- Deuschwerks 65cc fuelpump
- Beatrush master cylinder brace
- Ecutech custom tune

Also running Nankang AR-1 tyres in 245/40r17 on JR SL01 alloys, and PFC-01 brake pads.

A few years ago I bought my first proper sportscar (or well, GT-car):


I drove this for a year, went down to Croatia (7000km roundtrip) and eventually actually went around the track with it. Naturally, it's well balanced with a fantastic engine, but it's proper heavy. Torque converter auto doesn't add to the racing feel and the fear of getting damage deducts from the fun factor. Thus I now have a more reasonable daily (bmw 325i e91) and a track toy.


So since everyone who has a toyobaru ft86something loves modifying it, here's what I've been doing
I started with the headers, to get a little boost in power. I went for equal length ones since I further down the line planned on boosting it and thought that unequal load on the cylinders would be a bad idea. I miss the subaru rumble but that's not the purpose of the car. Or so I tell myself.

Good long day in the sun with some friends resulted in HKS EL headers being mounted, along with an EcuTek remap for some torque dip removal:


I'm trying to get these guys to track their cars as well..

New headers look amazing compared to the old catted stock system!

Not that I'll ever see them

Next up, I swapped the springs for.. well pretty much tein-coloured stock springs. Mistake, I must admit, to not research properly and just trust the shop.


Doing this in my company parking garage is not ideal, but I had good company (the guy miata owner from before).

After bringing the car to the track I also noticed that I couldn't quite hear the engine properly, so I had to look at the tachometer way too often. HKS Hi-power spec L exhaust did a good job eliminating that issue (the drone around 3k is awful):


After my next proper trackday I found the limit of my stock brakes and pads (no surprise there, just hoped it'd be a little further off). I got to ride along in a TRD'ish friend with the Essex AP sprint kit and some proper tyres, and man what an experience. Safe to say, I ordered the same kit from CSG a few days ago.


I've also got some new lighter and wider alloys to house my 'r-tyres' (Nankang AR-1 245/40r17), coilovers from Öhlins (supporting the local industry) and another lapse of idiocy that I'll post about in the days to come.

Next level idiocy:


Dyno graph to come.

I've installed an HKS oilcooler, DW65 fuelpump and a HKS GT2 (v2) supercharger kit with a 41mm restrictor.

Hello Cressell, nice toy there!

I like the "roadkill" style installation there...
Will you be running e85 or petrol?

All according to HKS instructions, glad it finds some approval at least!

Petrol for now, the fuel quality here is good so I'm in the 300-310whp range with the 41mm restrictor. Also, any more power and I'll be too scared for my rods to drive it properly - my next project will be to build an engine suitable for more power.

Thanks! Glad to see someone actually reading this

Brakes are now installed, with new pads all around (PFC-01) and proper brake lines in the rear as well. Flushed with new brake fluid and added a master cylinder brace - pedal feel is good but the brakes won't feel grippy until I've done the bed-in procedure properly.







Actually think it looks quite alright!

Upon installing the coilovers I ended up 29mm down in the front, 25mm in the rear. No camber rear, and a whopping 0,7 deg POSITIVE camber up front. Result:


Safe to say, I've ordered camber plates to get myself a nice -2,5 degrees or so in the front, and camber bolts for some -1,5 deg in the rear.

wait they make camber bolts in the rear? Don't you just need some basic LCAs from SPL...

You're right - I need aftermarket LCA's, I realized that a few days ago.

It's strange though - I thought having lowered 25mm that I should definitely have some negative camber.

For me I need LCAs to dial some of the rear camber out...
