Tuning is the main reason the only few kits i'm aware of have gone to full Motec ECU's.
It's just way faster/easier for a tuner to modify on the fly and takes a lot out of tuning budget, but you end up paying for it with the price of the Motec unit. Having the OEM TB control the linkage is the easiest way to get over the DBW system, short of creating a bespoke controller. These kits aren't half baked, it just comes with the territory of ITB's. They're never just plug and play. |

Nice to come back and congrats about your marriage. I was also not active since last August, but now in due to the lockdown situation I am checking the forum more often and revisiting a few areas.
Too pity that you had to try the ITB route the hard way, but it is nice to provide your experience to the rest of the community. Let's see how things will evolve in future with our platform. If the rumors are true and the new model targets a different (non car enthusiast) audience, then we might see again an interest by vendors and a development of new parts. Who knows? Let's see what will happen, but for the time being I don't see much happening and many are on a waiting mode … Personally, I am trying to convince a vendor to develop currently a new part for our cars and act as an early tester. Not related with ITBs, but I would say in a similar area . I am not sure what will happen, because there is additionally much uncertainty with the economy. Let's see ... |

Thanks you so much for the kind wishes Nikitopo. As for the ITBs, yes as you can imagine it was a big let down but oh well, life happens. It has allowed me to refocus and tackle other things on my build. Speaking of which, I am needing to update as I've done quite a bit since the last update. I am definitely interested to know more about the next generation of this platform. Who knows what surprises it will bring. I hope all is well in Germany and you and yours stay healthy and safe! P.S. Please do share more information when you have availability. Or, perhaps you could DM me more details. I promise I can keep a secret!

Hello FT86Club Family
It's been a while since the last update and sadly, I've made the decision to part out my car and already have most of the parts off of the car. If there's anything you see that you would like to inquire about, please feel free. I am located in Southern Orange County and would naturally prefer to avoid shipping and sell locally. I will have all items listed in the Classified section of the forum as well as the local SoCal for sale thread. As always, I loved this community and thank you for all the joy you've brought me over the last 5-6 years. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, let me know. Thank you!
