One from the Adrian Flux meet the other week!

And if you think the fensport price is high, Toyota now stock it on the official Toyota ebay store at  £2718.99 and a further £407.99 for the diffuser

Time to put my boosted Toyota GT86 TRD up for sale. I have owned this car for over five years now and have loved every minute of it. The only reason I’m looking to sell it now is to be a sensible (boring*) adult and buy my own place sooner rather than later.
It is the rare TRD edition which from memory only sold around 180 in the country when first released and was a serious premium over the stock car. The Trd comes with the full Trd body kit which looks much more aggressive than the stock body, Trd gearknob, Trd fuel cap & 18” Trd wheels which are made by Enkei. It also has the factory fitted sat nav.
It has had the Turbo kit fitted for just over 2 years now and in that time I have had zero issues with it whatsoever. The car has done around 48k miles and only 8-10k of that has been boosted so certainly not had a hard life. Looks wise the car is fairly stock but the following modifications are fitted to the car –
 
·         Tuning developments stage 2 turbo kit which includes the following - unequal length manifold, precision cea billet turbocharger, tial mvr 44mm external wastgate, intercooler, turbo blanket, uprated exedy clutch, omni power map sensor, 320lph fuel pump & 850cc injector dynamics injectors
·         Tuning developments lightweight flywheel
·         Tuning developments oil cooler
·         custom front and rear black badges (Look much nicer than the standard silver Toyota ones)
·         beatsonic shark fin aerial
·         cobra over pipe
·         cobra secondary de cat
·         custom fabricated tuning developments 2.5 inch cat back with quad slash cut tips
·         m-tec shifter springs
·         power flex gearbox rear mount insert
·         cusco extended throttle pedal
·         gas bonnet struts
·         Cosworth baffled sump
·         blockhead dual rhd gauge pod holder
·         Aem digital boost gauge
·         Aem digital oil pressure gauge
·         Cusco magnetic oil drain plug
 
The car made around 330hp when it was mapped on the dyno at 8psi of boost & a lower map of around 280hp at 5psi (Can’t remember the exact figures from the top of my head). It has always been correctly warmed up before driving and has only been a weekend toy for a good number of years but I’m seeming to use it less and less so hence the saleL. It has always been well maintained and comes with full service history.
There are a couple of imperfections which I’d rather be honest about –
1 – There are 1 or 2 small stone chips on the bonnet, these cars seem prone to it and obviously a 7 year old car is likely to have the odd stone chip but want to be as honest as possible. Otherwise the car is in very good condition
2 – I noticed the tyres have just started perishing from not being used enough so I’ll be looking to replace these in the next few weeks. If it gets sold before I replace them it will be reflected in the price
 
I’m looking for £15,750 which considering a stock trd sells for 14-15k and the turbo bill alone for this was just under £8k I feel like this is a good price. I am open to sensible offers and would possibly accept a part ex depending what it is. The car is located in Grantham, Lincolnshire. Any questions just ask. Thanks

It's worth calling out that the 355mm discs will probably (99% sure) need 18" wheels.

I thought so buddy, cheers for getting back to me!

As the title suggests, I have had a panic but fun day.
With the club track day coming up on sunday I thought it best to check over my brakes. The Tarox bbk bought of our very own Rob have been great but the pads were getting low so it was time to drop in the spares.
All was great until I tried to remove the pad pins. This first came out with a little fight but the second sheared off in the hole at the threaded end, bugger! I phoned Tarox and the guy on the other end was great. Although he couldn't supply me the pins before the weekend he did tell me exactly what I needed so with that info I hit the internet.
If you haven't been there before, the internet has everything that you ever wanted, well apart from an M6 105mm 12.9 partial thread hex head bolt. The internet does have something in vast quantities and that is phone numbers.
A few calls were made with no joy and I was beginning to think that plan B was going to be put in to action i.e. the original callipers but the next call got me sorted and restored my faith in humanity. 
I spoke to a chap called Ross at TR Fastenings in the  Manchester branch 01825747453, who managed to find me some pins that would do the job and could get them to me for Wednesday. As the conversation was ending and I could sense his immanent signing off I asked "how much?"  "No charge and I shall throw you a couple of extras in" was the reply. Just wanted to give Ross and TR Fastenings a shout out, excellent service.
As for getting the remainder of the pin out of the hole, that took 3 punches two of which are now deceased and 3 hammers of varying sizes. Why don't I just pick up the lump hammer in the first place? would have saved me hours over the years.
Ta muchly, see you Sunday 

PM'd you 

I've never had any issues with AD08R's or Cup 2's in the dry, wet or damp. 86 or M2. You sure it was't the meat in the seat that was the issue? 

@Minion, that's great Jake. Thank you.

Again I plan to keep the car for a long while yet and more than happy to help in any way I can, just let me know and I'll try my best! 

I'm always keen to help in any way I can, I'm based in the East Midlands and plan to keep the car for a long while yet. If you can put me to any use let me know  

I'm guessing a bit but like most of their stuff you paying 3x the price just for the name 

Looks a lovely bit of kit! But it's the first I've seen of it so not sure about sounds clips
  In regards to having with a turbo depending on what sort of power your wanting to run and if you have a screamer or not. If you want to run 330-400 you ideally need a 3" for the flow but if you have a screamer (which the td kit does) 2.5" is fine. If your gonna be happy with somewhere around the 280bhp mark it will be fine regardless of the screamer

I just used a very small allen key and steadily tapped it out with a hammer, easy enough if your careful 

I'll be coming. I've popped my name down on the forum.
If there is a few of us interested could meet up before and convoy in?

I should be coming along as long I don't forget like normal 

Fancy a straight swap for my supercharged one?

Sorted, bought the Vortech kit from Kwiatu from this forum. Thanks!
Got me 320hp and a nice, linear torque curve as I wanted. 
I race usually on my local track in Gdansk in Poland. OK, a mini track in UK standards.
I'm finally happy with the setup. Won my class yesterday. Ready for bigger tracks now.

Welcome, I've always had a soft spot for the Subaru wr blue but decided to go Toyota over Subaru in the end. Whatever you decide to do with yours I know you'll enjoy it!
