The GT86 (and identical Suburu BRZ) was launched in the UK in 2012 to immediate praise from all corners. Winning Coupé and Car of Year in Top Gear magazine as well as Best Driver's Car by Autocar and best Performance Car by Auto Express in the UK, it won dozens of other prizes around the world.
The joy of the car, apart from its amazing chassis and immaculate handling, was the fact that it would be tuned to accept more power from changing the exhaust system, mapping and the addition of turbo and superchargers to improve performance.
Here at Abbey we have worked on many of these cars and can offer a variety of performance enhancements.
The GT86 is ripe for tuning from simple engine upgrades like air filters through Stage 1.5 developments to full forced induction using turbos or superchargers. Even an Ecutek RaceROM installation will enable us to custom tune the car to your requirements - it also gets rid of that annoying flat spot!
If you are considering a performance enhancement, call us on 01883 732 331 and we'll run through the options with you.

The Harrop TVS1320 Positive Displacement Supercharger kit with integrated Water to Air inter-coolers provides an upgrade to an already focused driver platform. Boosting the performance (on a GT86) from around 115kw at the hubs (DynaPack Hub Dyne) to 82kw on standard fuel pump gives the driver the punch this car deserves. We are extremely proud of the TVS1320 Supercharger Kit which passed IM240 drive cycle emission's test, and therefore now has certification for both manual and automatic transmission variants.

Specifically designed for the GT86, this performance upgrade consists of a Cobra de-cat exhaust system, HKS filter and Ecutek re-map. This increases power from 197 to 212bhp and improves torque by around 8%. This is a great 'dip in the water' first improvement to the already perky GT86, ironing out the flat spot around 3,000rpm and improves low and top end performance. The Ecutec remap adds a whole range of excellent features and is custom-tuned to your requirements - you ven get a range of cool features such as blipping on down shifts and smoother upshifts, you can even change to one of the presents whilst driving. The 1.5 upgrade also clears the ground for a more radical upgrade to forced induction.

We offer a wide range of additional services for your car, so whether you want to take it to a track day or simply improve its overall condition and performance, here are some of the services we offer.
We have an in-house 2wd and 4wd Dynapack Hub Dynamometer with a purpose built, remote controlled air induction and extraction system – capable of over 2,000 BHP. With this advanced piece of equipment on-site, we can offer:
Modern fuels are a complex blend of hydrocarbons and additives, many of which evaporate at different temperatures. Each time a hot engine is shutdown (heat soak), a small amount of gasoline is left on the tip of the each injector. Since the engine temperature is now above 200 degrees Fahrenheit, the more volatile compounds in the fuel evaporates and the less volatile elements dry on the injector tip and form solids. As time goes on, these accumulations grow and start affecting the injector spray pattern and fuel distribution.
Both turbo and supercharged engines are very tough on injectors. This is due to the higher intake temperatures and turbo oil getting past the seals where it deposits on the injector tips.
Older engines with worn rings and valve guides also contribute to the build-up. This blow-by gets introduced into the intake by the PCV system.
Failure to change the fuel filter and allowing moisture in the gas tank both have detrimental effects on the injectors. Rust can deposit itself below the injector filter and can cause serious problems.

Wheel alignment is an important, and often overlooked aspect of maintenance. A poorly set-up car is at best, ruining your driving enjoyment and at worst, unsafe. Pot holes and kerbs can easily change the alignment of your wheels, causing a poor handling car, and excessive wear on your tyres. For these reasons, we recommend checking the wheel alignment on your car on an annual basis.
We use Snap On fully digitised, four wheel, laser alignment tools and software coupled with our database. This allows us to find the correct geometry settings for almost every car in UK and Europe.
With this tool, we can set the geometry of nearly any car to suit the usage your vehicle will experience, from road, to track, to race. You would be surprised by the benefits we can find for you, when we simply reconfigure your car's suspension back to standard geometry settings. We also have digital corner weighting scales. With this we can adjust the static weight distribution.
What are the benefits of correctly configuring your suspension?
Improved Handling
Reduced tyre wear
Better fuel mileage
Safer driving
Corner Weighting

We are able to provide engine rebuilds - from an engine refresh to a complete custom high horsepower unit to suit your needs. We can supply all parts for your rebuild too.
Refreshing the bottom-end of an engine can add many years to its life, and even find increases in horsepower and performance, not to mention give you added peace of mind.
Our Hunter wheel alignment service accurately measures up to 14 primary wheel angles and compares them with the original specifications detailed by your car manufacturer.
At Abbey Motorsport, we can correct any differences found by adjusting your car’s steering and suspension settings, altogether improving your driving experience and safety by maximising your fuel efficiency and reducing any uneven tyre wear.
