Lauren 2259 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Toyota took their final balloon payment today of £8860. With a small-ish personal loan, the car is now mine.

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Yep, not too bad. With the interest, deposit of £7K and purchase price it worked out to £32,060 all told. If I add all the mods I've done too, it comes to £40,000! Blimey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would batter a Cayman S on track though and its a bit more individual. 1 MangoNo5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 1, 2016 Okay I've finally bitten the bullet and booked my car in for a remap at Tuning Developments for 20th March. Felt it could do with a treat in time for the opening round of the TSS, will be very interesting to see how I get on. Reckon I had a date booked within two minutes of messaging Mike! How's that for a speedy response? Also ordered a pair of Yoko V105's so I can lose the Contisport Contact 5's currently on the rear in time for the TSS too. 4 Mike@TD.co.uk, Tareim, Rich and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul 442 Report post Posted March 1, 2016 I meant to ask, Lauren where did your side stripes come from? Were they from Toyota or a 3rd party? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 1, 2016 I got Richard at RRG Macc to have them made up for me, to match the wheels. I had them done the same as the optional stripes you can spec as I had black side stripes specced when I bought the car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You shouldn't have any issues on an NA tune. If anything does rear it's head you can usually get it resolved remotely these days anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Varelco 211 Report post Posted March 1, 2016 Ditto, just because it doesn't include superchargers or crazy extensive mods doesn't mean it's not enjoyable to read So what's your front end like after 80k of stone chips out of interest? Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
