Recently saw this kit for sale it’s definitely unique and I was curious if anyone knew what it was called or looked like on the car. The owner isn’t sure just said he bought it from someone at sema

Are there any problems with the aftermarket headers?

Hi guys, are there any issues with aftermarket UEL headers? A lot of people are telling me not to swap any parts on the car because of potential problems down the line. I know that many people who install a turbo end up having issues afterward. But is there anything people don’t talk about when it comes to aftermarket headers?

Wheel Setup Tips

Anyone with more knowledge about fitment can help me?

Something just looks off about my wheel setup. I bought low profile tires but it still looks to beefy for me.

Can you soundproof the hood?

4 Upvotes

My exhaust setup is practically perfect right now, except for the fact that the injection noises are louder than the exhaust at idle. Is it possible to place sound deadener under the hood/inside the fenders to decrease the noise this clicky ass engine makes?

86 Plaque

One of the first mods I did back in 2014. Bought this from Yospeed after seeing them post on the ft86 forums. Mtec sells them now. Anyone know if they are the same company with a new name?

Treated it with some "birchwood casey aluminum black" and sanded the face down a bit so the "86" picked up a black highlight.

Camshaft position sensor error

Upvotes

my 2012 GT86 broke down on Friday while I was driving home and wouldn’t start up again. AA recovered it and sent it to a garage but they can’t look at it till Monday.

it is showing a P000C - Camshaft position sensor A (bank 2) as well as some other codes relating to engine management.

AA guy said it’s possible the timing chain has gone on it.

really stressing out as I just bought the car through a private sale. What’s the chances it’s just the sensor gone as opposed to the timing chain going kaput?

any input appreciated.

Which headlights to get ? 1 or 2

My current headlights are nice but 1 is cracked and has condensation which has caused the high beam to not work and the normal leds to dimmer so I’m going for a change. However I’m struggling picking between the 2. They are the same price.

Lock help

1 Upvotes

In desperate need for some help!

2016 GT86

I just got back from holiday (about 2 weeks) to find my car isn't opening. Smart unlock not working, button fob not working - here's the kicker - emergency key not working. Key rotating and entering the barrel without any issue but nothing.

Obviously I am guessing battery is dead. I haven't changed the battery since buying the car and I know it isn't an upgraded one (will be the first thing I do moving forward!)

I've called around and tried to find some options of what to do next. Locksmiths have told me best bet to smash the window to gain access pop the hood charge the battery and replace the window. Not ideal for obvious reasons 😭

Does anyone know of any easier way to access the bonnet latch maybe? Can I access the battery through the scuttle tray by the Wipers? Has anyone been in a similar position? Or do I go get a hammer.

Buzzing coming from back end?

1 Upvotes

Whenever I’m driving, especially around corners/bumps, there’s this really weird buzzing sound that comes from the backseat. Any idea what this would be?
