Hi All, For sale is my rear ARB, removed yesterday to make way for a new one. There is nothing wrong with this ARB, it's served me perfectly well, in fact it's a super rare ARB sourced from a Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback. At 16mm, it's +2mm on the OEM specification, giving you a lot more turn-in composure without any loss of control. It's a brilliant addition to any GT86/BRZ as it changes what already is a great setup to an almost go-kart feel with the point-and-go level of precision. The ARB has been carefully removed by Dream Automotive along with the rear OEM droplinks which are still in perfect condition (included in the sale), so would be a directly replacement bolt-on, DIY time is 45 minutes - 1 hour. What you'll get: 16mm Anti-Roll Bar Bushes OEM rear drop links Price: £50 collected Location: Hertfordshire Deliver: Possibly, will have to take to DM to calculate costs if interested. Thanks!

Hi @Smulers, that's right As @Lauren has quite helpfully pointed out, this is a direct bolt on as I've kept everything required for the next owner to use. It's a relatively straight forward job so long as you have the tools. I'm just known for being a princess so I have the specialists carry it out while I raid their fridge for Coke Zero...

Item is now sold - thanks all!

Howdy all, For sale is my APR carbon fibre alternator cover, it's been fitted for 2 years now, doesn't move around obviously so it still in great nick. It's a lovely piece of carbon with a gorgeous weave to spruce up the engine bay, a bit of bling for the show days Note: I will be receiving a brand new, revised carbon fibre alternator cover, So you will receive the brand new, never fitted one Price: £130.00 (for a brand new carbon fibre cover) Location: Hertfordshire/Epsom Postage: Possibly! Collection: Yep, can do! Payment: PayPal (buyer pays the fees) | Cash | Bank Transfer As always, if you have any questions, please let me know

Bump! Lovely bit of carbon available

Howdy all, Perks of the new job means I have access to more information for you regarding anything Toyota or Lexus related. The other day, Toyota's Gazoo Racing (GR) division announced a new GR range for some of the cars. https://toyotagazooracing.com/release/2017/other/0919-01.html With 100 of the Yaris GRMN (1.8 litre supercharged Lotus engine, ~210bhp) confirmed coming here, TMC plan to bring the GR series out of Japan so we may see some more development coming to the UK. What do you guys think?

Sorry Keith, as far as my GRMN meeting went yesterday, it's strictly invite only.

Unfortunately I will be in the office monitoring the social media channels on Monday I'm not sure if Mat is going to be there to greet you and arrange your day there, but enjoy - take it to the limit! How did you find your initial impression of the Yaris GRMN

That's correct - the Toyota built engine for the Lotus Elise, hence I say 'Lotus engine' instead of 'engine from Lotus' Perhaps I could have said 'Toyota engines used in the Lotus lineup' but hindsight is such a wonderful thing

Hi everyone, For ages I've been looking at getting seat covers for the GT86, especially for the colder, dirtier Winter times. The garage I help out at made some seat covers for the Civic Type R FK2, so it wouldn't be a problem to get these done for our cars. Many people have had these seat covers on their Civic Type Rs, including my old EP3, tailormade to fit the original Nisin shape, as well as the other ones tailormade for the Anniversary edition Recaros, and the thick nylon quality is so epicly good, the material is super thick and as it's made for the car, it fits like a glove - no overhang! It will be tailormade to fit both Driver and Passenger side so the seatbelt loop strap and the seats' airbags will be accommodated either way. These will be a handwash only product (not machine washable). I'm building an interest list/group buy because it costs a fair bit to research and develop the seats perfectly. Though the price may look high, I can vouch that it would the the first and only seat cover you will need for the GT86/BRZ. I need a minimum of 10 orders to secure the cost of the production. Pictures of example seat covers made attached. Choice: Red or Black Location: Covers to be made and sent out Price: £50.00 each (including P&P to UK) Price: £59.00 each (including P&P to Europe) Price: £62.00 each (including P&P to the Rest of the World) Speedhuntermattgt86 [OC] - Black x 1 Ajpink2 [OC] Growlerkat [OC] - Red x 1 Greenmx5man [OC] - Black x 1 Alex Cusdin [Facebook] - Black x 1 Nasher [OC] - Black x 2 Merich22 [OC] - x 2 Jw191 [OC] - Black x 1 Jude555 [OC] - Black x 1 Thanks guys, if you have any relevant questions please do let me know.

Ha! I do recall saying that I had leaning shots - particularly that turn that catches everyone out and you see the cars cocking a wheel up. You drove very sensibly and thus, was leaning but not to that extent! I do have that photo, if I have time tonight I'll send that over to you

Haha I don't remember promising that! But hopefully next time, now that I know how things work at the track, I should be able to take more photos

Thank you mate! Yes of course, if you have an email address or Facebook let me know via PM and I'll drop it over to you

Hahaha I'll spare your blushes don't worry. It was great meeting everyone - although I didn't have much time to chat as this track involved a lot of walking around! Blagged some great vantage points and took a few photos: IMG_2754 by Andy Liu, on Flickr IMG_2773 by Andy Liu, on Flickr IMG_2797 by Andy Liu, on Flickr IMG_2813 by Andy Liu, on Flickr IMG_2848 by Andy Liu, on Flickr IMG_3030 by Andy Liu, on Flickr IMG_3054 by Andy Liu, on Flickr IMG_3227 by Andy Liu, on Flickr - The full album of photos that made the cut can be found here - My album collection can be found here If anyone wanted their photo please let me know and I'll do my best to get them to you

Hey Adam - is this still for sale? I am also wondering about the delivered price too

Hey everyone! *waves* I'm very new to all of this, though I've started my forum outings from the GT86OC and figured I should broaden and meet some more like-minded 86/BRZ drivers around. I've just sold my Civic Type R and am set to be picking up a GT86 in Pearl White on Friday, really can't wait. My plan didn't really work out as well as I had hoped; I didn't realise how quick it would take for me to sell my Type R so when it finally went I was left without a car to get to work! Fortunately my boss gave me one of his cars to drive for now, and finally found a car suitable so I've checked it over, put a deposit down, and it's now t-minus 1 day until I go pick it up! I hope I'll learn a lot from here, meeting loads of friendly people and hopefully seeing a few out at a meet. I like taking photos so photoshoots are imminent.

I'm going!

Right, so on closer inspection I was missing the markings on the number plate to make it road legal, deeming it to be showplate only. Phoned the supplier who apologised and sent out a new one with the markings. Just as well as there was a blemish on the first plate which I wasn't too happy about. I've also measured the centre cap diameter for my new wheels and subsequently bought these:

Hello everyone I figured I'll keep a trail of my 86 journey here, and with some guidance from you lovely people it'll be a happy and exciting thread (for me anyway!). Recap: Collecting the car (27/03/2015) I decided I'd go and pick it up on Friday, so booked the day off then came all the reasons under the sun from my friends on why they can't take me. Luckily one of them said 'ok, let's do it'. Friday, circa 8:00am Hemel Hempstead This arrived: And we scraped all the way to Cambridge... 50 miles of pure wincing on the slightest of crevices! We had to pull over at one point to see if we lost something on the M11.

DERP.

Sorry mate, what's a BC meet? But almost certainly there were epic cars everywhere that day: Tim's car:

Wheels, spigot rings and now wheel nuts have arrived. Just waiting for the tyres to arrive - I've gone for the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's in 225/40/18 XL.

Ah now you've explained it I think I do know Mase - he works with Mark (Advance Evolution, was in Watford now in North Weald) on some tuning projects when he's in the UK yes. But thank you for the info on mapping. I think I'm not in a position where I require a map as yet - currently getting the cosmetics sorted. Toyota has taken their sweet time with the car, and as a result they've driven it more than I have! That said, there was an Orange and a Red 86 at the Supercar Sunday breakfast club in Goodwood over the weekend, the guy in the red waved, so I wonder if he is on here. The journey from Hemel to Aldershot to Goodwood did feel like an episode of Initial D; rainy mountain type roads, hillclimbs, downhill chases, an 86. All I was missing was some tofu and a cup of water.
