Hello All,

Just order my FT86SF Catted UEL and although im still a good 12 weeks away from getting it I was wondering if any of you have experience with installing the header or any reliable shops in the area I could get a good tune.

Thanks,

Thanks,

The header install is easy enough, just time consuming due to the underpanels you need to get off. If you have jackstands/ramps and sockets you can do it no problem. As far as a tune goes, I think P&L motorsports has a dyno and can either tune you on ecutek or you can be remote tuned by your ecutek tuner. I don't think TF has a dyno/tuner, at least for ecutek

How loud is the TRD exhaust with a header? The cops in LGP can be very unforgiving about mods, at least the ones I have had the pleasure of dealing with

Thanks for the help!, im still relatively new to the world of modification, most just did repairs on my old del sol but in order to get it tuned ill need to buy the Ecutek?

From the videos it seems still good for everyday, but i guess we will find out haha.

You will need to buy either ecutek or open flash tablet, they are the two most popular options

If you want a recommendation I suggest Moto-East tuning

Anyone looking for a midpipe?

I've got an ARK testpipe with helmholtz resonator for sale, I used it with an N1 exhaust to cut the drone out and it worked great.

Ran it for a year, looking for 250 OBO. PM me if interested.

If you still have it in about two to three weeks, I'll probably want it. I guess I'll PM you then to see if it's still available.

Sounds good!

So. Extended day in the BRZ waiting for roads to clear of water. Looks like the bridge I refused to go under got bad enough someone had an incident and no traffic going through at all. Saw someone in a silver FRS turn around a bit ago. Hope everyone stayed above water.

Anyone in Chicagoland have the AVO stage 1 installed?

fourvalleys · 08-29-2014, 10:15 AM

Who drives the firestorm FR-S that I keep seeing in Lake County (Round Lake area)? Maybe with Tom's or other aftermarket taillights?
