Should be able to make this too. 

I use the below in back of my gt86 for my two year old. http://www.toysrus.co.uk/babiesrus/elite-isofix-black-shadow-car-seat/0149204
Tested lots and this was best fit, makes use of the isofix and top teather points. 

Should be a code in a metal tag on the key ring, can be used to reset alarm and a few other set up options (never used mine though, so prob safe not to worry about it).

Yeah thanks to everyone for coming, was really good chatting to some of you and I hope everyone who came had a good day!
No worries Gary, these things happen and I hope your little one is okay now!
 

Cracking shots pal. Much better then mine!

Thanks to everyone who turned up. Was nice seeing some friendly faces!

The highlight of the day for me was when driftworks brought on their cars and were drifting. I am still finding bits of rubber in my clothes now!

I've sorted through the picture I took and dtiched the bad ones, I might as well throw the good ones up on here.

Willfmair thanks for sharing this event, although didn't catch you in person today I (and my children) really enjoyed the whole event today and wouldn't have heard about it otherwise.

Hi guys, I've attached the leaflet below which includes a map of the event (we'll be one of the red bits I believe) 
here is an email from Will in the marketing team;
"We have now created a venue map and general info leaflet which will also be handed out on the day, I have attached to this email for your info. 
The club stands will be located around the queens stone area next to the welcome centre and will be marked out in cones with the club name labelled, its easy to get to – just follow the road straight when you arrive until you get to the welcome centre.   Track time can also be purchased from the welcome centre. Gates open at 08:30 but please feel free to arrive when you wish, most information you need can be found in the attached leaflet but if you do have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.   See you Sunday!"      

Might have been Alan was 18mths ago. If it's all good get it bought. Don't always need money off (where sells do this they have just over priced it in first place if happy to do this, must have been priced ok compared to other TRD examples to get you there. £750 is prob more than the sales guys commission anyway. Plus sounds like if it needed tyres and brakes you would have offered £750 less (ie the cost of these), so why not pay full price if it's perfect. 

My gt86 is from jemca Bracknell, no issues and the sales guy I dealt with at least was fairly knowledgeable about the gt86, they apparently make a point of buying up used examples to sell on compared to some other Toyota dealers who know very little about them.
All TRD cars will be a good premium used over a regular example as they cost alot more new.  

I agree would watch out for budget tyres being fitted (Toyota dealer fitted 2 nankangs to the back of mine).

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.

Thank you for everyone's support.
The result have been great and we raised $2,457 at the time of drawing.
About $1,500 from USA, and the remaining $950 or so from UK / Europe.
We received donation from Ireland, Portugal, Netherland, Germany, etc. 
Congratulation to Mr. Philip Raymond from Dorset (UK) for winning the price draw.
The live drawing can be view on the MeisterR Facebook page.

Yes I plan to do the Silverstone one and get a track session, (the sessions are pistonheads only not the general public, would say standards are no better or worse than any other track day), hopefully Morris will offer the cheap insurance.

Woke up this morning to a bit of sunshine so treated the car to a quick clean, went inside to watch the F1 and then it tanked it down, naturally . Anyway, the rain buggered off so went for a quick drive and a 5 minute photoshoot before the sun went down:

GT86_16_09_nimz-3
GT86_16_09_nimz-6

Not sure what the next step is, I need a bit more noise so will probably save for a manifold and remap at Tuning Developments if I can stop myself from buying an exhaust first 
 

I think it's always an issue if the finance company find out, don't forget till it's paid off its their car not yours. (Assuming PCP or HP). I would guess reversible mods like wheels etc if you keep stock parts would be less likely to lead to problems but I exspect if they wanted they could still end the agreement as it's no doubt in small print. Best option in terms of modding is a personal loan as not linked to car.

I have these on mine too and agree good pads road and track use, also agree would be nice to get some matching rears if they ever tool up for them. 

Toyota price matched a bank loan quote I had to offer HPI for same monthly cost on same number of months, (their first quote was quite a bit higher, so there is movement on any quoted rates they give you).  I paid off early and the settlement figure was fair with no early payment charges etc. 

Depends on what you need to fit in, I can get 2 mountain bikes in with wheels off and seats down, but the opening does make it tight to get larger objects through (saloon style rather than hatch) there is also a fair bit of room under boot floor if packing for a camping trip and using all space. 

Interested but the 13th of June isn't a Sunday?
