4 hours ago, Conscript said:Left the other key inside the car somewhere? Think that makes a continuous tone.
I also hear that when I try and lock the car with the boot open, perhaps your boot lock could be faulty and telling the car it's still open or something?
Other key safely inside the house.
Boot lid is properly closed, and the little light inside the car showing if doors are open is unlit.
That being said, this did only start after I had my big wing fitted....

After closing my boot the car is giving off a long, continuous beep that continues while I open the door and get in the car, but goes off after approx 10 seconds or when the car is started. Any ideas?

You selling the back one as well?

Same brakes as the standard '86 mate.

What will it cost you? Sod all. Go through her insurance and make her suck up the consequences.

Blame photobucket.

"GT86 & BRZ Carbon Fibre Bonnet - TS Style
Weight is approx. 8.4 kg (standard bonnet is 7.3kg)"And Keith's is painted as well, so add extra weight on for that.

I just didn't want to stick them to the carbon bonnet.
Fair enough!

Except the CF bonnets weigh the same as stock....

Didn't these fit your CF bonnet?

What are the Intec fenders, first time I've seen them?

I believe he did, think they're in another member's car now.

You may find that you still get a little bit of squealing from whatever pad you fit. I'm running DS2500's (albeit on AP 4 pots up front), they do squeal a bit when I'm driving in light traffic and haven't really used the brakes, but it doesn't bother me as such.
+1 for Stoptech.
-
Yeah, get aftermarket pads.

Tell them to do the emissions test as soon as you arrive, so they don't let it cool down.
A good MOT place will warm it back up for you with some "spirited" use of the throttle pedal.

You mean "let's convoy" and half the people went one way and half the people went the other?!

Because they can't try the hard sell on you then!

^ 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.
NA tune or turbo that is my dilema....

I have to be honest, now that I've had my N/A tuned '86 for 2 years, I wish I'd gone straight for the turbo. I know it's a much higher outlay up front, and the N/A package does make the car much more capable, it's just that for me personally the N/A package increase just isn't enough given how capable the car is elsewhere. It's not the right decision for everyone but if you have the money, I'd go straight for the turbo up front.
