  1. Issue is im on stretched 245/35 on 9.5J wheels so even going over a bump too hard will have consequences on the rim
  2. Got the paint back today, wrong colour, this one's going to be a bitch.. Would really rather avoid paying for a pro refurb, i have all the materials needed minus the paint.

    Message him, ebay listing is 3500, ebay will tax him 525 on that price alone, he would probably go a little lower than 2900 id have thought, judging by what he said in the post

    Sounds good
  9. Hi all, I'm running 18x9.5" +38 square and a 245 tyre for daily. Turbo is also going on in a couple weeks. The guy who is currently fitting my MeisterR coilovers has said that even with a fast road/track negative camber setup, the top of the wheels probably won't fit under the arches and that this is illegal on the road. Is this something that will be picked up during MOT or any other time? Bearing in mind this is a very common setup on this car and i've seen it done plenty. +40 would have been ideal in this size, but unfortunately i couldn't find that offset for the wheels i wanted. I'd rather avoid pulling the arches if i can.
  10. That's that settled then, a blog feature with boobs

    Just out of curiosity does anybody cover the east of england region? Norfolk/Suffolk/Essex & Cambridgeshire to some extent.

    Agreed, albeit in some more contrasting colours . Really digging all the choice of interior parts and painted areas though. I'm gonna go for a combo of black and carbon fibre interior parts, and brushed steel for the knobs, dials etc. I never use an arm rest otherwise id probably go for one. I'd consider getting those same interior panels painted too, but thats almost half of what i paid for my turbo, and more than the cost of those parts in carbon fiber on taobao (!) so can't justify it (this year at least).

    Is the Toyota service worth it?

    Search on google for Service Schedule + OEM Parts List/Prices You'll find the top result very helpful imo.
  14. Holy crap, RRG Toyota fit aftermarket parts? I can only imagine what Dingles Toyota in Norwich would say to me if i'd have asked them- lol.
  15. Good stuff, im on stretched tyres and tread is tucked in👌 Anyone else give me an idea for fitting and adjustment of coilovers? Examples of 340 and 270, these included height adjustment? If this is the case then even factoring in the extra 100 for alignment means I'm still way off.
  16. Interested to hear other opinions on the price, what people paid etc for similar
  17. Fitting, adjustment (so not just slapping the coilovers on, getting the height dialed etc) and alignment. Parts i supplied: MeisterR Zetacrd+ Front drop links Eibach LCA kit Paid over the odds then???????
  18. Right guys here we go, i dont want to add too many spoilers as i'm about to start a build thread but i've just taken the car for a drive and it has totally transformed the ride! Light, responsive and nimble. Thoroughly impressed. The guy drove it to get aligned himself All in- £600 Hold tight for my build thread coming shortly
  19. Also would like to hear some examples of what people paid for fitting + adjustment and alignment of their coilovers in the past. I'll let you know what I paid when I pick it up.
  20. Well it was through a friend and while i'm not going to mention who it was, did sound a bit odd to me lol, but he did say that it looked fine once the coilovers were on, just thought it was gonna pop out a tad too much when he first saw it on the stock suspension. The guy has been trading for many years and works on track cars regularly, i guess he was probably just being cautious. Alignment etc to follow, then it'll be at fensport so if I fancy more adjustment by then I can just ask them kindly. Thanks guys
  21. Sorry i forgot to mention, he's also fitting the Eibach rear LCA w/toe kit. Has recommended around 2 degrees negative camber all round. I'm in norfolk unfortunately.
  22. Hi guys, i ordered this part a while ago: https://h-tune.co.uk/eibach-rear-adjustable-lower-control-arms-toyota-gt-86-subaru-br-z/ Unfortunately it looks like it might not arrive by the 18th, when im having my coilovers fitted. Does anyone know where i can find a similar solution in stock?

    Help needed: Adjustable LCA w/Toe kit

    Thanks again Dan, called them today and they've sorted it. Blows my mind how this other company had it on special order for a week. BG can literally get it next day, just the bank holiday getting in the way. Pleasure dealing with them.
