TORQUE GT ● BLOG
Our FK8 is now very much part of the Torque GT family, we've owned it nearly a year and carried out several mods since taking delivery. We kicked things off back in the summer when the FK8 was treated to a Fujitsubo exhaust system. Their latest generation Authorize RM+C titanium exhaust is a performance focused system with an emphasis on saving weight and increasing power. It just so happens that it looks and sounds awesome too!
Since installation the FK8's exhaust note has become more evident, a known characteristic of Fujitsubo systems. It not only sounds awesome but also saves 5kg over the standard system.
So what other mods have we carried out since then? Since officially launching 'Torque Parts' we have become UK dealers for Hybrid Racing. Renowned for their high quality Honda products, installing one of their superb short shifter assemblies was a no-brainer!
These shifters, are honestly a work of art. Finished in gold we were lucky to get our hands on a limited run 'Launch Edition' shifter finished in red...
Features include:
- Smooth, precise and direct shifts!
- Compact 4-Link Wishbone
- Billet Aluminum & One-Piece Steel Frame
- Height Adjustable Shift Knob
- Customizable Spring Stiffness
- Internal Spring & One-Piece Cup Design
- ZERO Console Modification Necessary
- Race tested for durability & reliability

Hybrid Racing Short Shifter Fitment...
The next area we wanted to focus on was a quality intake system. There's a decent range of brands when it comes to intakes but there's one company that are widely regarded as the best in the business... GruppeM. We've been huge fans of this top end Japanese brand for over 25 years and as official UK dealers we're celebrating with 10% off until Friday!
GruppeM unique carbon shrouds and intake chambers are instantly recognisable and not only keep your intake air cool and heat-soak free, but adds a touch of quality to your engine bay too...
GruppeM Induction Kit Fitment...
The carbon finish really does make the engine bay look purposeful. When driving the FK8 there's a more noticable induction noise that is seriously addictive married up with the Fujitsubo system.
Stay tuned to see what we do next to our FK8... We're in the process of adding a few things as we speak!
