Why not give any of the traders a call (Abbey Motorsport / TD etc) as they will likely have a pile of ones they've taken off customer cars just sat there waiting for a skip....

New spark plugs and clutch now fitted

But I'm kind of precious about having 18 years no claims and for the first time ever putting anything through my insurer. Surely if they have to pay out for anything on my behalf it affects my standing for renewal? Perhaps I'm wrong. But £30 is neither here nor there for peace of mind.
The glass part of the policy is separate from the main policy and it's just an additional cover they offer. You don't have to declare it on renewal. TBH, you can just ask them what their policy is.

They would need a PWM controller that's based on voltage to have dimming. LEDs cannot change brightness

I'm afraid not, no. I'm after something with more doors and seats than the 86.

No. The clutch is only showing minor wear and as I'm not keeping the car I didn't see the point in throwing money away
BRZ-123 reacted to this -
Mine's currently in at Yeoman's Eastbourne. Master Tech took it out for a spin and then spent some time discussing the supercharger installation and how he'd do it. I got a video this morning with recommendations for a new clutch and release bearing, I knew it was a bit noisy so decided to go for it anyway.

This appears to have been marketing, likely due to the platform being based on boxer architechture. There have been I4 swaps that both keep the stock bonnet and the COG low..

Shame that the BRZ likely won't make it to the EU/UK.
1 hour ago, Leeky said:So I hope the “GR86” is not just a straight Toyota badged version of this recently unveiled BRZ (unless Gazoo were involved in the BRZ development also). As I’d want to see actual Gazoo Racing involvement here to justify the GR badge.
Well they have form from the GR Supra - seems that the nomenclature is for the more sporty models with the GRMN being for the full on GR tuned models. I am a bit surprised that the Yaris isn't a GRMN, given that it fits that bill nicely. I expect that the 86 will be largely a cosmetic change, but happy to be proved wrong.

Item: GT86 P3 Specific Gauge + Oil Pressure Sensor + Extra P3 Chip
Condition: Used
Price: £325 Posted
Location: East SussexP3 gauge pre-installed in vent for the GT86. Comes not only with a oil pressure sensor but also a chip that allows for the gauge to be run simultaneously with another OBD device, such as EcuTek or Torque. This is quite rare and I had to go to P3 direct from the USA to get this. I can even supply an OBD splitter extension if the buyer would find this useful.
This gauge can display a large range of OBD outputs such as AFR, Intake Temp, Coolant Temp, Oil Temp, Manifold Pressure etc and also 2x analogue inputs such as boost and the pressure sensor that will come with it.

Good luck. As I'm finding now, the market is slow (not surprising given the economic climate TBH).

I've now started to part out what I can so any offers for parts or the car as a whole - let me know

He wasn't as he's been on the Supra project.

Sure it's not just the belt itself?

Item: Metal GT86 Centre Console Plaque
Condition: Used
Price: £25 Posted
Location: East SussexCustom engraved plaque to fit cars without heated seats. I had this custom made and fills the hole in the centre console nicely. This was made by someone on the US forum and is of really good quality.

Item: OEM Rear Lights with Grey (61K) Modellista Replica Light Covers
Condition: Used
Price: £50 + Postage
Location: East SussexCan be supplied with OEM indicator bulbs or with high output LED replacement bulbs. I can also supply with an LED flasher relay if going with the latter. The covers improve the look and remove the chrome appearance from the side and are sprayed in OEM 61K Grey. It would be a simple and cheap task to change the colour to suit (or remove entirely).
Picture of these fitted to the car

Item: VLAND Sequental Rear Light (Left)
Condition: Used
Price: £20 + Postage
Location: East SussexRemoved after my right light failed so this is for someone with a set that is looking for a spare or to source a right unit. Unit is fully working, it needs a gasket although I can supply if needed (or a template to self make).

Mini Bump - Open to sensible offers.
Had some interest in various parts so good to see if there is interest before I consider reverting back to stock(ish).

Toyota's SLLC is Pink - I use it in my Supercharger. The GT86 is blue as that is Subaru's SLLC colour of choice.

Litchfield got one of their two cars yesterday and had it on a dyno. 277 bhp and a decent looking torque curve, Now it's gone off to Nitron for some suspension development.
