Also, I think that is a good price.
Only reason for sale is because i'm buying my first property and I need to be sensible. I'm not going to have the funds available to enjoy it on trakcdays and TSS etc any time soon so I figured someone else should play with it.

Moving onto anything exciting?
Thanks, not moving on to anything as of yet. I'm pretty much going to be boring for a few years and see how life pans out.

A sad day indeed, but after much deliberation over the past week and driving it for the weekend to convince myself otherwise i'm putting my GT86 up for sale. Given the broad spectrum of pricing on the market at the moment, i'm struggling to gauge how much this car really is worth. I guess it's worth as much as anyone is willing to pay for it and given the amount included with the sale i'm going to put this up for £14,000.
Car has just come back from having it's 5 year Service and MOT at Abbey Motorsport, nothing bad to report!
Car will come with receipts/Invoices for all work carried out on the car along with full service history and a stamped book (once I go around and get 5 years of stamps!) Car has been maintained by Abbey Motorsport who i'm sure you all know and i'm sure Mark can vouch for the car.
Engine
ECUTEK Tune (ECU Programming tool & dongle included with sale)
HKS Super hybrid panel filter
Exhaust
OEM Exhaust
Suspension / Bracing / Other
TEIN Street Flex coilover
TEIN EDFC active pro
Aluminium propshaft
Brakes
Tarox front BBK
Dixcel HS Front/Rear Discs & Z type Pads (Fronts obviously not on the car!)
Cosmetic
Five-Axis bodykit (minus the spoiler) smoothed in (Work carried out by RT Performance)
Intec rear lights
Dark smoke window security tints on rear 3 windows
Wheels
ROTA Titan 17x9 ET42
Bad Bits
I'm going to be as transparent as I can with the bad bits to the car so that any potential buyer knows so see below.
Front bumper could do with being remoulded as clips underneath are not intact and little crack on front (Cost approx 300)
Tow cap is cracked (I have a replacement already it just needs painting
Drivers side window has a scratch in it but functions correctly. This is a known fault that Toyota will be aware of (the runner & glass needs replacing)
Usual cracking on edge of fibreglass, needs touchups (these are minor things that nobody notices but I know they are there.

As above if you missed the price i'm looking for £14,000 though i'm open to offers. I'd prefer to just sell as is but if anyone wants a partout let me know I'm going to dump some old pics in until I can actually get around to washing & taking some up to date pics of the car.

Hi All,
I have up for grabs a set of OEM wheels which I need shifting out the garage due to moving and not having space
3 of these have primacies with good tread on them (6-7mm at a guess, can't find my tread gauge)
1 of them has a budget tyre which you'd probably want replacing but I only used these for emergencies so a budget did me fine. It is literally brand new.
Price for all 4 £300 or £100 each for the wheels with primacies on, the ditch finder wheel i'll let go for £60

As lauren said, the paint code changed in 2015 so it's likely to be K1X. But white doesn't match in general on these cars so you might be ok lol.
-
I guess it depends how soft the throttle map is, I find it fine day to day. But maybe my SC helps with that.
-
You will likely find it will come back, as Lauren said it will be because the ECU reset. My reduced throttle map eradicates this issue entirely maybe something to think about if it does re-emerge.

You can go to any Toyota Dealership/Franchise they can all see the warranty history of your car.

Live banners? You mean the advertisements? They are for me.

13 minutes ago, infernouk said:That’s what I mean, turning up at a main dealer and asking for free warranty work is likely to be tricky if they haven’t had the profits off your servicing, does concern me as in this case it may be easier to take the servicing deal with the reduced rate I was offered?
They can't refuse warranty work because you haven't been there. But they do just refuse warranty work en general because they are cnuts.

I take mine to Abbey, it's on the southern end of the M25 but I imagine there isn't much in it distance wise between Fensport and Abbey for you.

Why the hell do you have 10 admins for such a small group? That's barmy.

I just don't have the money or car at the moment. Sorry.

Are you sure? They insured me fine +100bhp...

You mean the Gtechniq application on them?

By all accounts the warranty isn't 5 years no matter what anyone says. Just take it as everything is 3 years because after that they are cnuts!

Would you rather they just closed all the free hosting accounts instead, deleting all the data?
I think Jordans argument is the change had come with absolutely no warning what so ever, which is pretty shitty imo.
@smudge Imgur or Flickr are your best bet. Though there are Browser add-ons which fix it. Obviously only for you though lol.

No idea how they attach though.
Take bumper off, fix them to the underside of the clip already on the bumper either by using the supplied hardware or do what I plan on doing and fixing it to the bumper with some araldite or something. One per side I think they go on the clip nearest to the indicator.

2 minutes ago, Cerastes said:Thanks, PM sent. They not big things are they? Not going to cost you a fortune sending them all out?
No they are tiny and will fit in a small letter (I already factored the postage in to the price anyway) I think I lose about 15p from this endeavor all in all which i'm not too fussed about
-
These arrived on Saturday so if you could PM your address' I can send them out to you all.

I knew it was coming was just waiting for the post Sorry to hear though but don't be a stranger! Whatever car you have you're always welcome to meets etc. Hope to see you soon.
