Great read

Welcome
 

My 86 has been found!!!
It was parked up in a residential cul-de-sac 7 miles from my house!!!
It was called in by a member of the public! Facebook ftw!!

I am not allowed to see it until forensics have finished with it.
I have just delivered the other key to the recovery company that is holding it.

The police tell me there are 'no visible signs of damage'.
I reserve judgement on that as their assessment of what constitutes damage may be different from mine.

The spare key is still out there so IF i accept it back I shall have to get the locks reprogrammed and a new key issued.

But I am experiencing a little relief!

Only a small change, I need to get a new one for the front it was being an arse, but it will do for now.
 

 

 

 
Also ordered another new addition tonight but I'm not expecting that to arrive for 2/3 weeks.

and the ones from tonight, excuse the dirt.

Some shiny bits should be really to come to me soon.

welcome

As requested

Okay a few quick pics taken on my phone this morning when it arrived unexpectedly:
    This is the Aero Kit model which is basically the top spec GT86 apart from the limited edition Gialla which should be arriving soon too.        The interior features a new design fascia panel:      Full leather, this is an option though it is featured on GT86's from 2013 on:       18x17.5 OZ Ultralights shod with Yoko Advan V105 92Y (lower load rating) tyres:     Outside the workshop at RRG Macc' with my car (lights on) on the ramps:     A new button has arrived! This is for the tyre pressure sensors but I'm not quite sure how it works:  

Welcome

Alloys are on the cards orange and black of course, Im just having to save up some coins to get them. 

you get a better radio in them now they offered to put it in for me for a grand extra once it was available which I swiftly turned down.
 
Anyway I suppose I best update this with what I went to RRG for... Its taken me an age to decide which colour combination I was going to aim for and one day it just came into my head from looking inside the car and so anyway...Im just going to let the pictures do the talking....Granted it won't be to everyones taste but I personally love it they got it spot on when I spoke to Richard and told him what I was after. 
 
The Pics still not the greatest weather is pants.
 

 
Better Side view
 

 

 

 
This next shot shows the colour pretty much as it is, its one of those that looks different in different lighting.
 

 
I know stripes aren't everyones cup of tea all over but my silver ones grew on me, I just wanted to be abit different 

Haha or everyone trying yo race you...

That's why I love it.. Affordable with super car kudos! Rare as a tramp with suede shoes

So I thought it was time to create a small blog on the BRZ, with any updates although it will be slow its better than nothing, as I also have a slow moving classic mini project on the go too.

So now on with the BRZ,

62 Plate

Black (with Toyota roof, bonnet, boot, stripes in silver)

Manual

leather and Alcantara seats

Radio that looks like it came out of a transit van

Ex demo from Carstins Balsall Common now unity automotive.

Who added the 18'' Prodrive alloys, a Milltek system and the KW 3 way adjustable coilovers

Nothing really to report as yet but never the less, here are the pictures from the ad from when it was for sale

 

 
See what I mean about the radio? 
 

 

 
 
They did fit a front lip on too but they took it off because they kept scrapping and chipping it, here are a few pics Keith (Keethos) took that he's allowed me to use previously. 
 

 
 
 

 
Mark Riccioni also had borrowed the car before I purchased to do a photo shoot and a review on the car pics can be found around the internet or on my facebook page. I'll post a couple of my personal favorite shots.
 

 
 

 
The rest of the shots on my page are on the following link. http://www.facebook.com/BRZQu/media_set?set=a.103624996508909.1073741844.100005842264360&type=3
So now on with the ownership......

Just a couple of photo's after I had the car now.
 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
Ill leave it there as you get the idea...Now I wasn't going to make any changes other than what was there but the last few months thought's Idea's and such like have been running through the mind and looks like Ill be making changes after all but will be a slow progress as Ive mentioned its all down to the coins.

So first thing was first the aerial it had to go, so I got myself a beat sonic fin and fitted it.
 






Looks so much better don't you think?
 
That was it until a week or two ago then I had a package arrive
 

 
and these were my eyelids
 

 
need a better picture and they look better further away then they do close up. 

as far as it is thats pretty much it other than valet's mini details and such so for now one last picture after a clean.
 
 

 
 
 
Well Ok I lie I had some changes done  3/10/2014 but Im not going to cram it all in the opening post.
 

Heard a lot of great reviews about RRG Macclesfield I dropped Richard (Riceburner) on here a pm and got myself booked in,

IF only every dealership was like this but hey at the end of the day I don't think I want it to cause this place is amazing I took my BRZ to them Friday....yes I said my BRZ it was more of a cosmetic thing.



I got there early and well 4 hours before BRZ was booked in snoozed in the car for a good hour and a half then Richard invited me in for coffee, sat at RRG watching tv reading a book on the 86 before going for lunch, the guys there look after you.
 
was also great to finally get to meet Alec (Keelerlad) who took me down to the cat and fiddle along with Richard for a spot of lunch before returning to get in to my new look BRZ.
 
Richard tell your guys I just can not stop smiling I totally love it and for one reason or another I'll be back even if im just passing by!

full thumbs up from me to the team at RRG well worth the 180 mile round trip taken.

Koul at that price I might be interested, need to see what happens with the Fiesta as it might be going.

Umm well it doesn't really work properly since i dropped it in a bowl of cornflakes and milk 

Arrrrh shucks.....you're all making me feel all emotional and stuff.....I think I need to punch a wall or something to feel manly again.....but in all seriousness, you people are all awesome people!  I really really do appreciate all the support and the community spirit.....except for Stu's that is 
 
I would be more than happy to accept spare and unwanted items off people as in some ways I'm doing them a favour besides my gain but accepting people's hard earn cash would be just one sided.
 
Peter (Jay's dad) has already tried to offer me a donation (he even said "please" bless him) but I felt kinda bad accepting money off people for a mistake where no one was to blame but myself....well besides them pesky drifters   
 
But I can't stand in the way of you guys putting this much effort into trying to help a fellow member out as I know I'd do the same so I won't stop you guys, but please don't feel like you have to.  I know some aren't as fortunate as others so please don't put yourself into an awkward situation in trying to help, some of you have already helped loads by keeping an eye for items and support+suggestions do go a long way.
 
People can PM me for details but it'll be the same for those who were on the BRZ Side Fender group buy.
 
So thank you all!  I really do love this club!  This PROPER CLUB!!!

Welcome

Toyota: Oh s**t Subaru have lower the BRZ price by £2,500. We need to do something.....
