    Cerastes got a reaction from Test Drives Unlimited in SuperChips remap?   
    They can still look after those, just don't tell them you have a GT86 and sneak away to one of the traders mentioned above 
    Edit: I'll add, I got a UEL manifold and remap done at Fensport, never been happier. Yes it was expensive but you pay for what you get. Adrian certainly knew what he was doing when he took me out on the open road to remap it. I tried my best to understand most of it, even though he explained it all very well.

    Thanks everyone it's a nice warm welcome, lot's of enthusiastic people around us that I'm sure will have great ideas and support for a club that can go from strength to strength. I will continue to campaign in the Sprint Series but am more than happy to be involved in whatever needs doing, so any ideas/suggestions just drop me or any of the admin a line.

    If the mechanism is connected yeah, in my case I broke the key and the lock barrel  Toyota replaced as a "gesture of goodwill" like they were implying I took the car apart and didn't put the mechanism back together properly. Cheek of em!

    You turn the key anti-clockwise. Moral of the story is that if you don't use your car a lot, then it's worth checking periodically that you can open it with the key in case of this happening. Overnight with WD40 etc should do the trick though.

    Cerastes reacted to VAD17 in Committee members wanted!   
    I would like to put myself forward as Event Coordinator.
    If we plan in advance and split events/ ideas between several coordinators, I think we can aim for the following (consider this to be my pitch for the position):
    - 5-6 "official" club events through the year: Early in 2019 we will conduct a poll of preferred events (Japfest x2, Tunerfest (1 or x2?), Beaulieu, etc.). Very happy to organize or help organizing (if I am in the UK I would intend to attend them if they are within 2hrs of London). We would need to decide based on interest (we really should have more than couple cars on stand for it to be "official"), but the number can be increased (I like Castle Combe, even if its a bit of a drive for me for example);
    - Couple "joint" events (?): I think it would be good to link-up with other clubs on large events, particularly if we only have few attendees. (I am very grateful for @gavin_t inviting me to join Weekend Racers stand at Castle Combe - good bunch and would certainly be interested doing it together). I am happy to coordinate these as well if we have interest and invitation is extended. I also think in such case we should be prepared to "open up" couple of our official events or ask organizers if they could allocate close-by lots for us (again I am happy to lead on this)
    - 3-4 "official" club track days: Lets see how Bedford event goes, but if we have interest (and there seem to be quite a few of us who tend to do regular track days). Again, we should plan a bit more in advance (although most people seem to book quite late) and have days in different locations. For 2019 we can aim for: Brands Hatch, Donnington, Snetterton + (may be) Silverstone, but we can decide by poll. I can organize these and will try to get some discount. If there is interest we can also try to get dedicated instructor for a day for our group.
    - Couple training events: I will contact @CATDT and think we should have enough interest to organize GT86 club programme at Milbrook with CAT Driver Training (we did in 2017 and I would highly recommend it regardless of your experience - in fact after doing couple track days this year I feel I need to go back now). Club members can also recommend other suitable options (I know @Adi did Carlimits few times and thinks its a good option as well and we can get 4 GT86 together for this, or even organize few days like it).
    - Calendar updates/ non-club specific events: Many of us attend Pistonheads and Goodwood events (and often aim to park together). I can update calendar, remind people and check if we may want to organize a pub lunch or drive after the event.
    - Social events: @Leevsfortyone been great getting us together for Cars & Coffee and regular dinners (I only with it would be closer for me to attend more). I would like to do smth like this down South, and I would like to aim for 1 or 2 club drives over the spring/ summer months with couple stop-overs on the way (we can get GoPro, photos, etc).
    - Children friendly event: I would like to come up with an idea for family-oriented/ child friendly event (again @Leevsfortyone had a good idea, but we probably need to think a bit more)
    We also would need more coordination between FB and forum members (most seem to be on both, but not all, some of us have different nics/ names as well).
    Finally, I suggest we want more than 3 Event Co-ordinators. I would suggest 4 or 5, with additional volunteers helping out.

    Cerastes got a reaction from Mark-in-Stoke in 6 years / 60,000 mile service   
    As others have said, it is every 60,000 miles not by years. It's in the "service and Warranty" booklet, page 24. That booklet is really difficult to understand at first because it has every Toyota model listed in it, so some of it is irrelevant. 
     
    Some of you have similar mileage to mine  I thought I had the oldest to low mileage ratio. 2013 and just hit 20,000 miles.

    As promised; here are a few pics of some of you. Again, the quality isn't great I was just using a mobile phone. I also have some of you at the top of the circuit but I was on the hill, so far away you look like dots in the picture. Oh and some of you look like your car is just stationary on the track as my phone can't capture moving wheels. 










     
    As much fun as it was seeing you all race around. The drive to and from Anglesey was spectacular. Just a shame the other 3/4 of the drive was dull and with lunatic's on the road. 
    I haven't seen a road that smooth since... actually I can't remember the last time I saw a road that smooth.

    Fortunately not - there was a brief moment where I considered my evacuation options, but once I worked out I could keep it on the inside of the circuit, I was less concerned

    Afternoon all,
     
    We've got stock of all 3 types of system on the shelf currently.
     
    Non-Resonated
    Resonated
    Super Resonated
     
    To give an idea the super resonated is approx 6DB quieter than the resonated system when tested at 5000rpm static.
     
    We're still offering free installation on our CAT back systems currently also!
     

     
    Thanks

    Cerastes got a reaction from Lowe in Reliability putting me off the 86.   
    Most of these issues should have been sorted under warranty by previous owners. I must admit I'm not familiar with a lot of those you listed. 
    However, there is an issue I have encountered and apparently others have reported it. The electric windows scratching the glass. 
    I'm not impressed with the amount of issues I have had owning my gt86. Some common and some that only I have encountered as far as I know. Compared to my previous car swift sport, I had absolutely no issues with owning it for 4 or 5 years. I regret selling it. 
    I've had the rust under bonnet.
    The scratching of electric windows.
    The rubber door sill on drivers side gets pulled away from seal when window closes. 
    When you put the rear seats flat and then put them back. The latches/buttons almost come lose. 
    I guess we can all list the battery as an issue? Or maybe it was intended to be a low capacity battery. 
     
    Edit: maybe I'm nitpicking, but I expect better build quality for something this price and from Toyota.

    I might be interested; depending on price (I'm meant to be saving for a house). I'm always on the lookout for decent roads; the roads where I live are filled with numerous potholes, traffics lights and many many BMW's, Audi's etc.
