Test Drives Unlimited

I am ready to book when someone confirms they are definitely going...
 
@Rich 
@DanJ
- have you booked?

Over on Ade's build thread, a few people mentioned going to the Javelin trackday at Snetterton on April 27th. I thought I'd start a thread to avoid it cluttering his thread to gauge interest.
So is anyone else up for this? Best to get booked fairly soon as it's starting to fill up!
Event page here: http://www.javelintrackdays.co.uk/trackday/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=1240itemid=11
Confirmed on track:
1) Rich
2) Ade
3) DanJ
4) Test Drives Unlimited
5) Paul (CanaryWundaboy)

This is my biggest complaint against the car, driving it feels a little like torture compared to our other cars. I've ordered a lumbar cushion to try out and I'm also looking into car upholsterers who can open up the driver's seat and add some foam for lumbar support.

I am toying with the idea

That post was firmly tongue in cheek... I forgot the smiley ;-)
No, I always wanted one myself - and actually bought 'right' now they are proper bargains, as the general public are scared off. Values now mean you can put away a bit of money for engine woes anyway...
Anyhow you're talking to someone with one of those awful unreliable French cars. 80k miles so far with nothing but diesel and oil changes. But the reputation is just great for me - meant it cost me half what a VW would have...

My drivers side strap is being replaced/repaired on Tuesday 16th February at Motorline Gatwick under Warranty after it broke over 5 Months ago !!
It's taken this long to get Toyota GB/Japan to agree to fix it under Warranty !!!!
They say it's because I have the Custom Leather Option !

would you ever consider doing those lights for other members? I'd love to get mine blacked out like that but wouldn't trust myself to do it

Hello All,

This group buy won't just include Hoodies though, it will also include T-Shirts & Polo Shirts
Prices will be as follows:
Hoodies: £30
T-Shirts: £14 (Limited quantities of these, first come first served basis, design may be changing )
Polo Shirts: £16 (You can request your username or real name embroidered on the front for £2, printed on the rear for £3)
If you order 2 items save £2
If you order 3 items save £3 etc etc  
Orders over £50 will get a pair of window stickers thrown in free of charge in a colour of their choice and a special present from the club for their support
Postage for premium members is free, for those who are not premium members, it will be £3
All of the items are available in different colours apart from the T-Shirts which are black.

More hoodie colours may be available but I need to check pricing, it's a different hoodie and will be slightly cheaper than our current ones as it's not as weight.

Toyota took their final balloon payment today of £8860. With a small-ish personal loan, the car is now mine.

Surely it just comes down to whether it's the right price. I certainly would want it to be cheaper...
And frankly you don't know where ANY second hand 86 has been. They're generally not bought to go shopping in! One reason I bought a new one in the end. That way I know it's been abused, but only by me

I took the easy way out and Paid Fensport to fit the item to my car this week

Ooh that is one nice looking GT86

Also ideally a 10" sub is what you want. I went for a 12" as I wanted something with a bit of welly as I like to hear bass guitar, but a 10" is more punchy. 
I'm not sure what size you were offered with that Alpine one, hard to tell from the pics, but it did look a little small. 

It sounds like you need to go to a specialist car audio place, Nigel, rather than a big retailer. It's not that hard to have the sub in the boot. Okay I had a whole boot floor custom made with everything housed in there, including an MDF sealed box in fibreglass for the sub, with the amp and DSP and cables all under the boot floor. The result is I've lost no boot space.

Not all boxes have to take up a lot of space, the OEM+ one I have leaves you with all of the boot opening space so you can still get large bits in the boot. I've had the marquee, flags & banner in my car nice and comfortably along with a couple of camping chairs before. You'd need to pay a little extra for some fibreglass work mind you.

Most certainly

Fitted the dash cam this afternoon didn't take long and you get an array of fitting kit:

Wired it behind the rear view mirror so it is hidden:

Then tucked the wires up the top of the windscreen and down into the glovebox:



And you cannot see it easily from the outside, I wanted it discreet:

Just checked the video quality.. It's amazing, even at night (only tried a street lit busy road so far in the dark) and that's not even on the highest resolution.

This looks like the same device under a different brand name?? £75
