    Ended up going with Sky for GT86. They came down on price a bit and although still more expensive than main insureinsurers i decided to pay for an option of having mods added later on.
     
    But, frankly, Sky was the only specialist insurance broker I had on the shortlist left.
     
    (DL for Lexus as they were cheapest and seem ok when i called them with questions).
     
    Well, thats insurance sorted for 1 more year.

    I also find all the specialist insurance companies are way more exspencive for me too (all over £450, but using comparison site is under £250, even with modifications). Shame as would like to use specialists like green light as good rep and option for cheap track cover, I think they calculate risk on a very different model to main stream companies which works for some but not others.

    Let's be honest, there is virtually no useful comparisons online between momentum & V-power, it's all he said she said... The bloke down the pub told me... A guy who works at a refinery told me Tesco don't put nivea revitalift with age defying tank cleaners in their petrol.
    I get same mileage from both and the engine sounds the same...

    I just fit the stock one up front on the day. It's beefier than most you can get online which I rather like if I'm having my car towed by it!

    @Ade I considered it but it's quite pricey for what it is, like most Cusco stuff.

    I costed yours up at around £600 some months back. Going for the 160mm saves about £40, which makes it very comparable to this Cusco unit.
    You only get 55% of the cooling capacity with the 160 mm unit though.

    Rich reacted to Fenhopper in Shambolic service from Adrian Flux.   
    Update on this:
    Adrian Flux did phone back; the person that I spoke with gave two different reasons for the modifications being refused in the same conversation. I was told that the terms of the policy changed during the year, then I was told that the salesman wasn't trained properly and sold me the wrong policy, clear as mud!
    I stated that I felt I had been mis-sold the policy, the young lady that I spoke with said that I wasn't mis-sold, the terms changed; I then pointed out that I was never informed that the terms could change regarding modifications, so I still think I was mis-sold, I didn't get an answer to that.
    I received an Email from Adrian Flux today which stated that if I cancelled the policy, then they will offer a pro-rata based refund and will waive their cancellation fee; however, they say that I will still have to pay the cancellation fee to the underwriter (Equity Red Star).
    Summing up I think it's all a bit shabby, I don't see why I should have to pay for their mistake/mis-selling/incompetence.
    Sorry if I'm boring you all to death, but writing it all out on here is like a therapy session for me. ;-)

    I think it's the same as Tesco; they buy it off Greenergy.
    Both Shell and Tesco use close to the maximum 5% ethanol in their fuel.
    I've not heard of inconsistencies with Tesco fuel and Greenergy publish fuel analysis reports on their website so it's easy to check.

    Only got the one sticker so I'll draw the rest on with a sharpie. Also means I can choose the colour I want 
    They'll be going with a set of Rays 57xtremes, the plan was to wear the current tyres down and get them refurbed and fresh rubber, but not done enough track days to do that.

    Yeh thats really bad, especially without fixed back seats. Go for the schroth Rallye 3 harness. The rears straps mount to the top mounting for the rear seat belt on the "c" pillar. They are what I run on track days.

    I would have said consider the club track days with LoT they tend to be a lot quieter and are very welcoming to newbies. That and their driving ettiquette is fantastic. 
    However there's only one left this year and brands was yesterday which would have been perfect.
