Found this while clearing out an upstairs room, came off my GT86 as it didn't fit while I had my carbon fibre engine dress-up parts fitted.
Would be a nice addition to anyone's car, looks the business.
This one's in really good condition, almost like new.

Am, not frequenting the forum much these days so please PM me if you want it, I still get notified of those.

Found a seller on eBay but wondering if any other GT86 owners were ale to get hold of those BRZ-style fender pieces for a decent price?
Like these:
Would need pearl white (satin white?).

RAYS had some 'special' stock wheels and I've managed to find a colour that is not normally available, so I've ordered 2 sets of Dark Bronze 57CR in 18x9.5 +38. We should have them within the next two weeks, so I will take photos of them to show you the colour etc.
What happened to the other set?!

Never used to have an issue with my iPhones but since moving to Android it's bluetooth or nought.

Bargain, someone should snap that up.

I'm just going to bide my time. I'm sort of hoping it blows up now and I just get a new engine.

Bloody hell @smudge cannot believe you keep running into this stuff. Fingers crossed for you having it done before end of the year!

If you keep the stock front pipe it SHOULD pass if you get it hot.

NoooOOOooooooo!!!!!

Got a spare set of fronts myself as well if you need some.

I have a particular hatred of the last gen Ford KA, felt like I was standing ON the pedals instead of pushing them forwards into the floor. Ended up having aching ankles after every long trip. Thankfully it was rare I had to drive it (wife's car).

Rob has/had one on his car.

Potentially the vent gauge depending on price.

More pics please!

Next on the list is the Coilovers. I'm looking to decrease the wheel arch gap and improve the handling. Can I just buy the Tein Flex A/Z's and lower by about 20mm to do this or do I have to purchase/adjust anything else along with them?
Buy the Flex A's, you'll need camber adjustment arms for the rear I think. Front should be fine at that size.

You'll need camber adjustment arms for the rear methinks.
-
good choice on wheel, size and offset. Yes they'll sit pretty flush, you may need camber/toe arms to tuck the rears under.
Tyre choices is spot on.
It is very unlikely you'll be able to tell the difference in terms of weight and handling. Some sensitive people can, the majority can't.

Basically flat foot shifting is throwing a wobbly with my clutch control and me not flat foot shifting when its expecting me to. I'm just glad its nothing wrong with the car
I will keep it map 1 from now on until I fancy a play
Thanks again for all the comments, hopefully this will help someone else if they encounter it.
Cheers, Gary.
No worries. I intend to get flat foot shifting turned off when I get the car mapped again.

Over 5 years, 45k miles on mine. Oil leak which will be fixed by a replacement cam plate cover, but none of the other issues. The engine issues are almost ALL related to FI cars, you pays your money you takes your risk. Buy a car with remaining warranty and you don't have to worry.

Just saw it on Facebook so had to log on here. Jordan was the life of the party at GT86 events, to think he was battling depression this whole time is startling, but I suppose like so many he got very good at hiding it. Funnily enough the entire time I had my ‘86 Jordan’s was never working, it blew up October 2015, I bought mine in December and sold it last year. Weird to think I’ll never see him driving it when it’s finally completed. I know life had been tough this past year, losing his job through coronavirus and the car having more issues but I just couldn’t imagine anything like this. I cannot imagine how Michelle must be feeling, thank you @Lauren for reaching out to her.
