GoonerKev 24 Report post Posted February 26, 2019 Hi After having a new Kia Sportage 1.6 GT-S Line for the last year, I decided to change as I really wanted a GT86, so yesterday I purchased my dream (picking up next week), Red, rear parking sensors, Auto (i'm lazy now). Love at first site, gave it a long test drive, Motorway & normal roads, it was so responsive and a BIG grin was had😉. 3 1 matrixprotein, Lauren, surrey86 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoonerKev 24 Report post Posted February 26, 2019 Thank you Lauren, as it is for the time being, been looking all day at different mods to be done on this brilliant site. Retiring next month, so who knows😉. I do like the Red intake pipe that you can get but may have to watch the pennies a bit. Also fancy getting an armrest for it. 1 Lauren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luke 193 Report post Posted March 2, 2019 Nice looking red paint. Is the side stripes standard fit? I've never seen the GT86 logo in white before. I bought mine from Gatwick motor line over a year ago, very good dealership. Hopefully if they are changing the pads and discs you won't get the characteristic brake squeal that tends to come from the factory. 1 GoonerKev reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sidestripes are not standard. He will still get the same issues with squealing brakes. 1 GoonerKev reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoonerKev 24 Report post Posted March 2, 2019 Thanks Luke, no idea on stripes as they were on there already, time will only tell on brakes mate , yes very pleased with dealer 😉👍🏼 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartinT 514 Report post Posted March 2, 2019 Nice purchase, Kev, and welcome. I don't see many red ones and auto is unusual so you'll have to tell us all about it. 1 GoonerKev reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BRZ-123 174 Report post Posted March 3, 2019 You know more about my car than me BRZ-123 Haha. Guess is good. But as others have said, try to ascertain the tyre brand they are using and influence them to use what you will prefer based on forum recommendations and your need. If that means paying a few quid extra, we'll worth it as you won't be changing them for a while now.

These are not the optional stripes though. 1 1 BRZ-123 and GoonerKev reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
