    Jamie_GRMN got a reaction from LarmiqGt in Stretched tyres - Legality   
    I'd be going down the route of getting it looked at by VOSA and if they deem it safe having them produce a cover note mate. Seems our local office is Llay, may be worth giving them a ring and seeing if they could inspect it for you.

    The last I heard the 86/BRZ never came with a diesel engine so how on earth is that extract of the MOT requirements even relevant

    Cool. Thanks for your input on this Jamie.  👍
    If the noise does occur again I'll go to the dealer and update this thread.

    If it comes back then take it in. As you said the release bearing doesn't transfer any power so the supercharger wouldn't effect it. Unless it's been absolutely ragged it'll have failed to soon to be wear and tear so would be covered by warranty.
    If it does come back don't let the dealer try wriggle out of it because of the charger, they would have to prove it is caused by the charger and not a manufacturing issue.

    Took her to Cars and Coffee Liverpool on Sunday, what a day. A well organised event, and some fantastic cars there, so here are a few pictures I've pinched off the facebook page taken by other people (I hope they don't mind me using them):







    I had to lift the rear suspension as the wheels were slightly catching on the newly installed splash guard.   Needless to say I am incredibly happy with the end result. Nigel has done a cracking job with the arches, which fit perfectly and Lee from Autokraft has done a spot on job with the installation of the kit!    The wheels are extreme, I think this is the perfect to describe them. Rich from Demon Tweeks has managed to get the 10.5" Wide ET46 rears to fit, using -5 deg of camber. For all those people who say it isn't practical I know, but in the flesh it looks stunning, and lets be honest it isn't a practical car.    However I did fit the baby seat in the back yesterday and we went out for a family journey in it.   A lot of modifying was required to get the fronts to fit, not modifying Nigels arches but the actual car arch as the wheels were too wide. On full lock the wheels only just miss the back of the front headlight unit by a few mm. Some welding and reinforcing was required, but whey they finally fit.   Anyway more photos soon. Hope you like.

    Well it's soon going to be time for me to hand the car back in to Toyota, I had originally planned to keep it three years but after two Toyota have offered me more money than cars for sale privately and mine has more miles etc on it!!!
    Sad to be leaving as its an amazing little car, have loved every minute of owning it, doing my first trackday and competing in the TSS of which I finished 3rd in class last year which I was proud of considering my lack of experience 
    Unfortunately I can't say I'm moving on to bigger and better things as it will be being replaced by a 5door Aygo X-Cite to allow me to build up some savings before buying something truly stupid, or another 86 in a years time...
    Going to stay as a lurker on the forum to keep an eye on things coming up for sale, TSS info (the Aygo may make an appearance this year for a giggle) and random social meets if I'm allowed to attend  this forum and group of people really are exceptional I think, never met a friendlier (and boozier) lot in my whole 7 years of driving 
    Anyway, I'll leave this with a few of my favourite pics from the last two years...
    Love to all
