Research and development is taking place on the HKS D1 86 which will enter the D1GP professional drift championship in Japan this year.

Here is the lowdown on the new parts, which are expected to arrive in the UK and European market in the next 4-6 weeks. We would recommend customers to reserve parts to avoid disappointment as HKS are anticipating that the initial demand for the parts will be high.

Legamax Premium Exhaust

With an improved appearance and superior performance, the φ124 large diameter slotted tail design eliminates the lower exhaust resonance.

The stock exhaust pipe creates too much back pressure. The Legamax system is more free flowing, giving the car a more free way to breathe.

An emphasis on driver comfort has been achieved by reducing the uncomfortable sound inside the vehicle cabin, while maintaining an exciting exhaust sound at high speed.

Available as a rear silencer or complete with centre pipe. More information available here.

Hi-Power Spec-L Exhaust

This lightweight sports muffler is ideal for those who are looking for a more aggressive appearance than the Legamax Premium.

Designed and developed with a lightweight concept; pipes, silencers and other parts have all been individually lightened to produce a muffler which is half the weight of the stock muffler.

“Bullet” style silencers have been used for aggressive appearance with carbon wrapping around the tail tip to express the lightweight concept of this muffler.

Back pressure has been reduced 60% over stock to allow for over 350ps tuning. Sound has been tuned to have a powerful sound at low speed whilst the silent chamber cuts the uncomfortable drone that can be heard in the cabin.

More details of the design and the new Spec-L exhaust specifications can be found here.

Super Hybrid Filter

HKS Super Hybrid Filters are direct replacement panel filters designed to fit into the standard factory air box. Using a 3 layer dry filter, the super hybrid filter separates and catches dust particles within the air and optimises air flow direction through the filter.

The new 3 layer filter system catches larger dust particles with the first layer and smaller particles are filtered out by the 2nd polyurethane layer. This has allowed increased filter life over previous models. Improvements were also made to the way the layers are attached to each other allowing for improved air flow.

We have found that 70017-AT020 Panel filter is the correct fitment for Japanese specification FT86.

Spark Plugs

Spark plugs become a key factor in clean and complete combustion in any petrol engine. Clean and complete combustion is paramount in performance tuning as the power produced is directly related to the force of the combustion. HKS super fire iridium spark plugs give improved ignition performance, durability and anti-carbon build-up. The Ultimate spark plug for increasing performance of tuned or stock engines.

We have found that the FA20 engine used in the GT86/BRZ uses the HL range of spark plugs.
