  1. Hi all, unfortunately I'm selling my gt86 and I'll be selling a few bits I've had on the car. I have some photos at the moment but will take more when I go home and get better photos. 

    I'm based in Sutton Surrey. Would prefer pick up but I'm willing to travel a bit or a courier can be organised at your expense. All parts have been on the car between 4000/8000 miles and are all in full working and good condition.

    Valenti tail lights red/white (seqential) - £140 SOLD

    Cobra resonated cat back - £240

    Borla UEL manifold - £400 

    Rota force wheels in gloss black. (100x5, 17x8 et35) with toyo proxy tyres. Looking for £550. These wheels have just been recently refurbed by my best mate and look brand new!

    Will try and get better photos for now but these are all I have on me as of now!

    Please message me on here or WhatsApp me 07858951718. 
     


  2. I have a resonated cobra cat back. It sounds perfect. It's subtle when you're cruising but as soon as you give the car a some it the exhaust comes to life and has a really nice Tone which is aggressive but not obnoxious. 

    Mark from abbey motors advised me against the non resonated one as it is ridiculously loud and sounds rubbish compared to the resonated system. 


  3. I have a decat borla uel manifold sitting in my bedroom, it was an impulse buy and admittedly I should've done some more homework, I'm still rather new to the whole modding scene so here I am...

    Once I get this fitted and tuned, what can I expect from The life expectancy of my engine? I'm not going forced induction and this car is my daily, I'd just like it to some more guts. I currently have cobra resonated catback as my only other exhaust mod - nothing else performance wise. I'll probably get a hks or cosworth air filter too when I get this done. 

    Do I have anything to worry about? It's only done 15k miles on a 14 plate so still pretty much brand new. Do I have to worry about the 86 prematurely dying on me? 

    Thanks!

    Tell me about it! Luckily I don't typically drive in rush hour but it's a nightmare anyway

    Search for my build thread and it might answer some questions ;)

    Well damn,  that's a good enough reason not to be on the road. Haven't had the time to read through it all had a little skim, sounds absolutely ridiculous but mate I'd love to see that in person once it's finished! Definitely going to be following this haha. 

    Kinda shits on me trying to get my UEL fitted and tuned... 🙈😂

    Literally 2mins away then, I go through the High Street almost every day but the 86 has been off the road for about 18 months now

    Good luck getting through the high street now. It's having it's annual road work chaos down there lol. 

    As how comes dude


  6. Must be so depressing driving that after your 86 😂 

    Mate literally I can't win. When I had the crash she kept going on about now's my chance to get a "nice" colour and one that doesn't look like a hair dressers car. You seen me? Do I look like a hair dresser!? 😂

    Hi Syd, Welcome :) I saw you again yesterday driving through Merstham :ph34r:

    Alright rob? Didn't see you sure I would have noticed your car haha. 

    Was out with the misses last weekend in her car driving through coulsdon and you drove past and she goes "why didn't you get a white one it looks so much better then red!" 

    I can't win. Fml 😂

    Welcome. Same lights as mine. 

    I was looking at black badges too, trying to find somewhere that is reasonable for them. They all seem to be expensive just for a plastic badge. 

    I just used plasti dip mate. Takes about half hour/45 minutes but you can always peel it off so if you mess it up or fancy going back to chrome. Very easy stuff to use. 👌

     

    Brought the genuine stuff off amazon for about £20 or halfords sell a similar product called rusteze I think. It's cheaper, would need to do an extra coat or 2 as its a bit thinner but just as good in my opinion.

    did you get the jewel rear lights or the cheaper ones, ive just ordered the cheaper ones and would love to see some pics on the car!

    They're the ones I brought. Genuine Valenti sequential off thespeedline. Cost about £190 after import tax 🙁

  10. Hey all, been a member over on gt86ownersclub thought I'd make an account here too, so just saying hello.
