I've seen this one about, always liked the yellow.

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!

Possibility...

I had the same, though opted to ditch my non-res Milltek as I was worried it would be too loud and went for a TD resonated system instead with a decat pipe to mate to my Milltek overpipe. Mine comes in at 90Db average tested at a fair few circuits now. Yours does sound good if a little loud for my taste, but 95Db is over twice as loud as mine.
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.

alex@ikonmotorsports.com is your best bet. Email him rather than the generic address and explain that you've spoken to me. He'll organise shipping to your hotel.
Cheers!

How much were the louvres in USD? I think they look mint and I'm off to Vegas in June...

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.

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?

@Paul I'm not with Tuned UK anymore mate. Sold it on. But a good idea non the less
Oh, didn't know! Hope all is well and whatever you're doing at is paying the bills and keeping you busy.

2 hours ago, Cerastes said:Put it near the front of the GT86 stand if others don't mind. 1. It will attract more to our club. 2. It will be seen and more people seeing it then there is better chance of someone feeling crazy and putting in an offer/going away thinking about it. 3. Also with these youtubers etc when they do these walk around videos of clubs, they will notice it and probably mention it on their youtube channels
"look at this one, it looks awesome... oh it's for sale"
I'll only take 1% commission lol. I'm cheap
Very good suggestion. Maybe bring some TunedUK placards or whatever so it doubles up as advertising for the business?

Been 3 months now Adam, may as well just keep the car.

A word of warning if you put a Splitter on the front of the car, you will be forever hitting Pavement Kerbs, Grounded the front of the car on steep inclines and having trouble getting over speed humps in the road.
My car isn't even lowered !!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...

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

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

Bury your right foot as much as traction will allow and don’t lift during paddle or automated gear changes up and down the box. You’ll only make changes jerky and make the car unstable. Doesn’t matter if they are slush boxes, single or dual clutch, the engine management will sort it all out.
It really is a piece of p1ss and you have nothing to worry about.
Thanks, really appreciate the response. Knew I was probably overthinking it but given the cars involved figured it was better to ask!

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.

Maybe somewhere could do a group buy?

Adam had to cut half his normal arches apart to get his wheels to fit, might not be the best example!

He's close to Silverstone, could probably push it to Japfest if it came to that...
