SL03JOE 104 Report post Posted September 13, 2015 Hi guys/girls, names joe 24 from Essex.I joined up as I've been reading in the shadows for some time now and seeing as once my golfs gone I'll be looking to get my self a gt86!First off this is my car currently:And future plans for GT86:Turbo kit (just fancy it over supercharger)Rocket bunny kit (unsure on which version)BGWUpdated brakesStipped, caged, buckets/harnessesWork Ssr/TE37 wheelsWell that's a start!Idea is to build a fast road/track car, just want a fun aggressive looking car! I've done the show car thing, now wanna build something track spec! Although the R is still over 300bhp the Gt86 just seems to have more appeal to drive faster and tighter on B roads.Thanks for reading.Car is for sale, would consider GT86 part ex(Will make for sale thread if needed)Look forward to joining Gt86 crew + jap scene Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might bump in to you at some point then.Quite possibly, it was awful anyway lol! Welcome aboard, Joe, good luck with finding the right car. Any preferences on colour? Thanks, white I think possibly red/grey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted September 15, 2015 Red is a popular colour, the grey not so much. Think there is only a handful on the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Test Drives Unlimited 278 Report post Posted September 15, 2015 The Grey is more Stealth like hence why mine is that colour although my second choice was the Burnt Orange Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP1991 222 Report post Posted September 17, 2015 You aren't Colchester way by any chance are you Joe? Seen your Golf my way a few times as I am only in Weeley. Welcome to the club any way. If you want a ride in a turbo'd 86, give me a nudge and I'll take you for a spin seeing as you are literally just down the road from me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP1991 222 Report post Posted September 17, 2015 In fact I think Sam (Torr) was talking to me about you wanting an 86 the other day when I met up with him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SL03JOE 104 Report post Posted September 17, 2015 In fact I think Sam (Torr) was talking to me about you wanting an 86 the other day when I met up with him? Yeah from Mersea.Yeah he said something about a turbo GT86 he went to football in! What sort of power is she running? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP1991 222 Report post Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) I see! Well chuck me a message on FB any time and I'll be more than happy to meet up with you bud. You are only down the road after all! She is running the base 7 psi at the moment and with a custom map we hit 265hp at the wheels and 210lbs ft.. This was quite conservative as I wanted to maintain maximum reliability. Loads of headroom still though, just depends on how deep your pockets are! Edited September 17, 2015 by JamesP1991 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
