    £1,500 delivered
    Extra £200 if you want the tires too (Davanti DX640, loads of tread left)
    18” x 9.5J Front 5x100 ET34
    18” x 10.5J Rear 5x100 ET42
    Purchase price: £529.01 for each rear wheel, £514.95 for each front wheel exc VAT = £2,505.50 inc VAT from Demon Tweeks
    Very good condition, general scratches on all wheels as you’d expect with polished chrome, with only the one wheel with real curb scuffs (see pics)…other than that, pretty fresh. Note, the wheels haven't faded, it is just the lighting.
    Location: Wolverhampton

    Yeah the US forum are the best place for advise on spec for wide body kits. Other than the standard cutting / grinding and welding required to fit the arches, I needed extensive modifications to be carried out to the front arches as there was too much negative offset on them. They eventually fitted. 
    My wheel specs are: Front - 18 x 9.5 ET -36 Rear - 18 x 10.5 ET -47
    The rear wheels needed around -5.5 camber to get them to fit. So if you want to use it for the track, or as a practical car then go for more positive offset. But at least you know the limitations of what can be used.

    Sorted, bought the Vortech kit from Kwiatu from this forum. Thanks!
    Got me 320hp and a nice, linear torque curve as I wanted. 
    I race usually on my local track in Gdansk in Poland. OK, a mini track in UK standards.
    I'm finally happy with the setup. Won my class yesterday. Ready for bigger tracks now.

    TomG94 reacted to Varelco in Lowering Advice   
    I think the stock suspension is pretty good, (many reviewers out there believe this to) if you pick a spring without silly spring rates you can't go far wrong. I went for Tein Luxury Masters as the spring rate was the closest I could find to stock, which will obviously help keep within the spec of the dampers and keeps the same handling characteristics as stock. This is the only car I've owned which hasn't had aftermarket coilovers and I'm more than happy with the results.
    If you are purely lowering your car for aesthetics and want to keep the drop moderate (i.e. less than 35mm) then it would be silly to spend a load of cash on a set of adjustable coilovers.

    See, that is what we are getting at, that you fail to grasp. I, and I suspect the vast majority on here, would have tried to recoup what I paid, or taken a slight hit. Not try and profit from other forum members.

    TomG94 reacted to JamesP1991 in 2013 Toyota GT86 Turbo 43k Miles For Sale   
    After building and enjoying this car for over 2 years, I never thought I would see it again. Having part exchanged it 2 years previous, it has found it's way back to the dealership I now work at. Given the happy memories I have had with the Drivers Club, I thought I would advertise the car here and give the opportunity to pass the car on to a member that I know will love it just as much as I did. 
    It is a 2013 model, cloth interior with parking sensors, navigation and cruise control. It has covered 43,000 miles. The car is an ex demo with 3 owners in total (2 private including me and the original was Toyota themselves). I bought the car back in 2014 as a totally standard example and then spent the following 9 months enjoying it in standard form. For the next 18 months or so I went about modifying it tastefully and that is how it sits today. The previous owner after me has simply used it as a commuting car and did not modify it further. 
    The service history is as follows:
    11/02/2014 - 1st Service Inchcape Toyota Oxford  06/06/2015 - 2nd Service - Lancaster Colchester Toyota  31/07/2015 - Serviced by me when the turbo conversion was installed. This was with Millers Nanodrive OW-20 oil and a Blitz oil filter.  20/09/2016 - 4th Service carried out by Fensport including new brake fluid, gearbox oil change and an hours mapping time with Adrian to ensure the car was still behaving as it should.  It is now due another service which will be carried out with Millers Nanodrive once again and matching Blitz oil filter along with pollen and cabin filters. It will also have a fresh 12 months MOT before it leaves our ownership. 
    Modifications are as follows: 
    Full Speed By Design turbo kit, compromising of a Mitsubishi 20g billet turbo, and EL manifold.  ACT 6 puck racing clutch.  TEIN 25mm springs - stock shocks.  Brand new Uniroyal Rain Sport 3 tyres all round. 215/45/17 Japan Racing JR3 wheels in Gunmetal Grey. 17x7.  Beatrush Master Cylinder Stopper.  Front Strut Brace Invidia N1 exhaust titanium tipped.  Custom made IWS Developments overpipe and catless midpipe 2.5" diameter. Full Samco Hose kit  Whiteline Gearbox insert   
    The car was mapped at TDI in Thurrock where it made 263.5hp at the hubs at just over 7psi. I paid special attention to how the car was mapped to avoid rod bending low down torque which kills these FA20 engines as everyone knows. Peak torque comes in at 4780rpm and is 209.9 lbs ft. Peak power is at 7170rpm. The car will also come with the full Ecutek kit and dongle which I purchased off Fensport, as well as an ELM wifi dongle which can be used to measure oil temps, boost pressure etc with apps like DashCommand etc. 
    I still have all the original manuals, will come with 2 keys,  and all the invoices from all the work I had carried out.  My original build thread from the car is here: 
     
    The car is priced at £15,695 but we are open to sensible offers. Any questions feel free to fire away and I will now post all the pictures below for everyone to look at!

    Drove past this location on the way to a meet (advantage of taking B roads everywhere), decided on the way back I would stop and take a photo. Lighting was spot on. Need to do something similar again with the new alloys when it's clean.
