    I've never had one of forum emails (or from gt86ownersclub) go into spam, sounds like you need to simply whitelist it if you are having issues.

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC are great for large enterprises... but definitely not needed for a simple forum.

    Whitelisting (email addresses) doesn't work anymore, spam is detected through other factors such as originating IP and path taken.

    gt86.org.uk is on a "blacklist" which you can see here - this may or may not be the reason for email going into spam.

    Sounds like you don't need the help, no worries at all - just a friendly offer of help.

    Mark and I have been chatting for a few months now as I have given him a verbal commitment for this SC. Unfortunately, Harrop are having stock issues and an ETA is not available. I am gutted and considering the HKS SC but everything I am told (primarily through Mark) is that it is quite different and the Harrop sounds like what I'm after - consistent improved torque through the revs, without any lag or surge (as is the case with a TC). If anyone at all has any comments or suggestions; hidden stock of the TVS1320, re-consideration of the HKS, alternate SC options, or any general thoughts - I would appreciate hearing them. Have really been looking forward to driving my boosted GT86 this summer! (with or without lockdown!).

    The garage I bought my wheels from were going to swap the sensors over without asking, so I stopped them and they fitted OEM and matched the RF frequency.

    Now I can pop the old set back on (haven't had a need to yet) all by myself. Had no issues with the OEM RF sensors, had the wheels for almost two years.

    ...except when I park too close to the old wheels and the car picks up both sets and gets confused, as soon as I drive away, all OK.

    I shuddered when you sad "cheap ones" for tyres - it's the only part that keeps you on the ground and where you want to head!

    I chose Michelin Pilot Sport 4 which are superb in the dry and wet, I can still "slide", but I have control and feeling over the car.

    Hey all,

    So I am returning to the thought of getting a GPS tracker fitted.

    I bought an inexpensive Chinese tracker a while ago, SIM card requirement with SMS alerts - which is hard wired and never figured out how to fit all the wires and locate the tracker and GPS transmitter. Then I looked at ReWire and iTrack which have an easy connection to the main battery, but figured it's obvious and easy to remove upon opening the bonnet - they also do hard wire, but I'm back to getting it fitted properly (they charge £100+). Both companies have subscriptions at £5+ per month for the app and detailed tracking. But I would be happy with something functional (alerts based on movement and GEO fencing) I don't need remote immobilisation and all the app features. I'm also not doing this for insurance purposes, which should be obvious.

    So I think what I'm asking for is any recommendations for someone or a garage to hard wire fit a GPS tracker in Essex!? Or, clear instructions from someone who has done it on a GT86.

    As always, thanks...

    Phil.

    Driving to the south coast on the A3 at the weekend following a black Ferrari and we were both overtaken by an unidentified track car which accelerated very quickly when turning off. Since examining my dashcam footage I managed to identify it as the Mexican VUHL 05 track (but road legal) car. Brochure uploaded. Never heard of this, but I'm sure some of you have, stunning specs (courtesy of Wikipedia):

    The body of the car is made of reinforced RTM plastic, with carbon fiber as an option, mounted on a subsidized aluminium chassis (aluminium honeycomb with 6061-T6 aluminium extrusions). It has a 240-hp 2,000 cc four-cylinder engine, with an option of 285 HP similar to the previous one but with an optimized induction system and re-calibrated ECU. It is at a distance of 110 millimetres (4.3 in) from the ground and its static weight distribution is 37% at the front and 63% at the back. With the 285 HP engine it reaches a maximum speed of 245 kilometres per hour (152 mph) and accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds. It also achieves a braking of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) to 0 in 31.6 meters (104 ft), thanks to perforated front brake discs 310 millimetres (12 in) and ventilated 280 millimetres (11 in) brake discs in the rear.

    Prices look to be from £60k so one might have to go on my wish list :) enquiries to https://www.bespokeperformance.co.uk/ ;) 

    Watching a view YouTube videos, this one is one of the more informative:

    I've been looking to replace my stock wheels for sometime. Everytime I do research I'm getting confused in the options. I'll just post my questions! (thanks)

    1. Where to buy them from? wheelbasealloys.com for example
    2. What size are my stock wheels? 17/??
    3. Can I fit 18" wheels as I'm reading there could be restrictions 
    4. I'm undecided on colour and considering dark/black, but probably not gloss
    5. I'm undecided on spoke pattern, but want them to fit the style of the car
    6. If I buy the wheels and tyres from the same place, will they assemble and balance them?
    7. Is there anything I should be aware of when fitting them to my car?
    8. Which brand? Are Konig OK

    What I do know is:

    Thanks so much!
