Next time though! Cheers, Bob. 1 Deacon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT86Bob 61 Report post Posted October 1, 2016 1 hour ago, Lauren said: Welcome Bob. Any plans for the car? I've spent hours today reading stuff on the forum. First thing to sort is a way of mounting my Galaxy 7 phone which I'll be using as a sat nav. I'll leave the car as it is for a few months while I'm getting used to it, but before next season I'll probably change air filter (maybe change some more on the induction side) and tyres. Haven't decided what tyres to get yet but on hill climbs with trees so close to the track the last thing you want is an exciting rear end. I'll also be looking at other ways of increasing power and throttle response without going forced induction and without spending a fortune. No real plans yet, it's early days :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted October 1, 2016 Brodit mount is the way forward for mounting phones on the dash. You can get a specific mount for a GT86 and it clips neatly in. Good move on driving the car as is, so you can get a feel for it. 1 GT86Bob reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've done single lap, double lap and figure of eight. I normally do the Owen Motor club' s Graham Hill Sprint in June and the HSA one in October plus additional ad hoc ones if I'm free that weekend. when might I see other GT86s there?

A lot of us are members of the Sprint and Trackday group. They run events throughout the year, usually one per month apart from December and January iirc. Last event of this year is on Tuesday but I'm not sure how many 86's are signed up for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The easiest thing to do is ask to be added to the Facebook group - Sprint and Trackday (banter / times / modifications / car chit-chat) 1 GT86Bob reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
