    TC Light at speed

    Straight line bud
  3. TC Light comes on under load at high speeds. Can't really take to dealer as they wont be able to replicate. But warranty has only 6 months left so if there is common issue that anyone knows about? Engine light is due to exhaust.
  4. Stripped mods from car as had to insure it just lives in the garage now and insurance is too much with mods due to having no claims on a different car. So for sale is: Borla UEL Header (No silencer) Full H&S Exhaust (No silencer) Combined this means there is no silencers or cats in the whole system. Therefore very very loud. Had it on 2 years, never had issues with police although i doubt you can get into a track with them both on. can set car alarms off on cold start. Also Rota Titans 17", i think 9J? Slight curbing, powdercoated in gold. Also have coilovers, but forgot the make so will find out then put them up. One photo of wheel, not great picture as few years old. Will post one of each wheel when i get time. And will add exhaust when i find picture, as its currently at friends garage.
  5. After hitting pheasant need a new front bumper in grey if anyone has one

    New exhaust system.

    I have UEL header and H&S to the back (no silencers no cats, just 2 H&S Backboxes). I'ts loud on cold start, loud under load. But cruising nearly no drone and can be driven very quietly. Under load can set off alarms and make children cry. :/ Although i rarely take the car to work (once or twice a month) i have a 1.5 hour each-way commute mostly the M62 motorway, no drone unless i go above 4k rpm. It's hard to get anything you want for "Cheap" especially when your playing with cars. Unless drilling holes in your exhaust is your thing Also make sure you block up that godawful induction noise.

    GT86 HERITAGE BOOK.

    Coffee table material right there, will go well with the new house. Sign me up Would be nice to get the price down
  9. After spending what feels like a large chunk of my last week trying to find an insurance company that will cover me with my current modifications and potential future plans it was proving difficult. One phone call later; competitive price and friendly staff.
  10. So quick one as just about to go to garage to get this rectified. In for 30k service yday, all fine. on drive home smelt bit of oil, just assumed they missed the hole a little. Got home and decided to play with suspension. lifted bonnet, oil everywhere cap on the side. They're going to "steam clean" and flush oil. what more should i be asking for other than all this in writing. Angry.

    Commuter Car Suggestions

    I'd personally lower the budget from 5k and get an early 2000 e46 or VW TDI (ok the e46 had horrendous cooling problems)Buy a car that's already depreciated and if it breaks just buy another. rinse and repeat.I had a MK4 Golf TDI. (non PD version!!!) Had it for 3 years did about 160K worth of hard miles in it (i was young so i drove it above 4k rpm everywhere like a tit.) It retired it at 220Kish with original turbo, clutch and gearbox still in tact)!!!! Still have the the old girl, in the barn not sure why....

    Road Debris dents Our 86

    Had an overloaded tipper go for an overtake on a duel carriageway once, obviously the extra speed loosened his load and loads of it fell all over my car, lucky from what i could tel only 2 small dents from it, and unfortunately one just on the roof. I've got used to the front end getting damaged by chips, my mileage and sitting on a motorway has done that to all my cars. when i stop using her as daily i will just replace/repair the front. the roof on the other hand, that pissed me off. as not sure what can be done. Hope you get it sorted, let me know if it was easy to remove.
