    Alloys/Tyre advice

    ^ This. I run 18x8.5 Rotas with 225/40/18 tyres. I know people have their opinions on reps, on widths, on rim sizes, I don't really care! My wheels have taken some serious punishment, been refurbed a few times, yet haven't let me down. I don't find the ride too hard on 18's, and there's better grip with the wider wheels.
  3. He's close to Silverstone, could probably push it to Japfest if it came to that...
  4. I've seen this one about, always liked the yellow.
  5. I think you're looking at single digits, maybe even just a handful of people in the UK with them on, and unlike the common brands they don't tend to come on and off the market much. You could be waiting a fair while!
  6. I need to have a listen to yours at Japfest Lauren, I supposedly have the same exhaust as you and I swear to god it comes in higher than 90Db.

    Lowe's Team Grey

    How much were the louvres in USD? I think they look mint and I'm off to Vegas in June...
  9. A not-significant amount of work has gone into making the auto transmission work with the forged engine and supercharger. It's undoubtedly one of the fastest auto GT86's in the UK if not globally.
  10. Get some bronze ones next time!

    I'll have to get a ticket then.

    Glad to hear there's some progress, sad to hear we won't see it at Japfest this year. But I'm assuming it will be ready for Japfest Donington?
  13. Oh, didn't know! Hope all is well and whatever you're doing at is paying the bills and keeping you busy.

    It's been fun. Sayonara!

  15. Very good suggestion. Maybe bring some TunedUK placards or whatever so it doubles up as advertising for the business?
  16. Been 3 months now Adam, may as well just keep the car.

    My car is lowered 20mm on coilovers, my HT Autos lip does occasionally meet the tarmac over larger speed bumps but very rarely. Steep multi-storey ramps are where the problems arise...
  18. Ok, so here's a rather embarrassing revelation, I have no idea how to drive an automatic transmission. I've only driven an auto twice. The first time was 20 mins in a Lamborghini Gallardo and I was far more focused on not crashing into a ditch than learning how to drive the damn car. Second time was the RRG Macclesfield Yaris which I drove pretty much like a go-kart, ignoring the paddles entirely. So why is this relevant? On Friday I'm doing a Supercar day at Dunsfold which involved driving some pretty serious machinery, most of which have automatic transmissions (or flappy paddle gearboxes, which I'm pretty sure are the same thing?!). To get the most out of it I'd really like to have a bit more understanding of how to change up and down myself, how to read the car etc. Mostly I'm curious about whether I need to do anything with the throttle as I change up or down, obviously as a manual drive my instinct is to pull off the throttle when changing gears but I'm not sure how that works when changing up/down manually in an auto? Be really grateful for any tips people can give me.

    Any reason why you didn't fancy the HT Autos kit?

    Wanted - Cat Back Exhaust

    There's a Cobra resonated on here that would fit the bill nicely.

    Driving an Auto

    Thanks, really appreciate the response. Knew I was probably overthinking it but given the cars involved figured it was better to ask!

    aftermarket version of this part

    Maybe somewhere could do a group buy?
