Fensport GT86R Race Project, Part 9 - 2020
You may think there's not much left to do with our GT86R, but there's always something to do! Over the winter of 2020 we changed the front end again. Realising the handling benefits of reducing weight and lowering the centre of gravity we set about making the intercooler pipes from aluminium, changing the route to lower the pipes and have a smoother flow to the intercooler. Also we relocated the accusump to the lower radiator support panel, the radiator itself was also re mounted to increase airflow, reduce drag and make room for the accusump. ...
Fensport GT86R Race Project, Part 7 - 2018
2018 will be a big year for us, we will be competing in the new Japanese Sprint Series and will have very stiff competition form all sorts of Japanese cars including high power 4wd cars. We knew we needed more grip and here is the story of how we built the revamped aero version of our GT86R. After struggling to control the car with 633bhp in 2017 we wanted to push for more power so we have completely redesigned the aero and grip of the car. Front splitter design & build. The front splitter is essentially 3 parts, the honeycomb inner part gives...
Fensport GT86R Race Project, Part 4 - 2015
2015 has already been a busy year with work starting back in January working alongside Cosworth to help develop the FA20 engine. We now have a fully built forged engine with prototype pistons, con rods, headgaskets, ARP bolts and uprated valve springs. Testing will continue throughout the year ahead of public release. The engine was "run in" in the snow in February and has now completed 1,400 miles. 600 run in and 800 race / test miles. Also new for 2015 is the stage 4 Avo turbo kit with larger compressor and turbine wheels, carbon airbox, larger intercooler and...
Fensport GT86R Race Project, Part 3 - 2014
After finishing 2nd overall in the Toyota Sprint Series last year, Team Fensport have been very busy over the winter "off season". The aim was always to make the car significantly faster at the end of each year so changes for the 2014 season had to include more grip before more power!! First and most obvious is the fabulous Blitz Aerospeed wide arch kit as used on the Blitz Racing project Time Attack car and also Ken Nomura's Blitz Drift car in Japan. The kit was shipped over and we were so pleased with the perfect fit straight from...
