@will300 Just realised your stripes have gone lol

A timely post as I was going to see if you had done anything else... maybe a charger !??

I don't think I will be messing with suspension mods as my old car bottomed out a few times on lowering springs but other tuning stuff is still possible.

I sold my 86 around 11 months ago to buy a Fiesta St as I thought I needed the extra room but I have found that I could probably live with an 86 again and have not gelled as much as I thought with the ST. So is the new model 86 worth the extra over the older model ? Looking for peoples opinions who have driven both really.I am considering a late old model but curious on the new suspension set up and how it copes with the terrible road conditions we now have. Cheers

I am off on holiday in a couple of weeks so will have time for test drives. I will have a read of the test you did last year @Lauren I also like the look of the BRZ in blue @will300 which I originally wanted when I first saw them a few years ago, does the BRZ the have the same updates as the 86 ? I seem to remember that the spring rates were the opposite of the 86. There also seems a fair amount of BRZ in stock at Subaru even a 2017 car.

I would add wear on front seat bolster, paint chips/damage especially on pearl white cars.

Have you seen this new edition? it looks great but looks like its only available in Japan. Have Gazoo Racing taken over TRD ? as Gazoo racing sounds much better than TRD (turd ) http://toyotagazooracing.com/jp/gr/gr86/

Why the change Bob ? Is it down to how competitive it is in sprints ? I changed to a Fiesta St and will be looking to change back to an 86 early next year. It's great with low down torque around town but the ride is terrible and the power delivery is back to front lol

These are great deals, I've sold my 86 but tempted to get a manifold just in case lol

Looks nice n smooth ! Whats on your wrist ?looks a very big watch!

I saw them at Creamfields this year , they were epic.I would loved to have gone to the ABGT 250 but could not afford it lol

Thats ace. I also spy Tony McGuinness which is a complete contrast to Above & Beyond.

No way ! Starting to think selling mine was a mistake and all these must have parts come up for sale :-( I will have to delete my account :-( :-(

Now sold to the 1st person. Thanks

Got this filter left over from my car , it has done approx 5k miles in perfect condition £10 posted.

This is prov sold, I will let you know if not and will let you know in time order. thanks

Car has gone in px this afternoon, I felt a little pang of 'oh my what have I done ' as I drove away only time will tell if I regret it. The dealer said they had sold it to Motorhouse in Leeds. Can a mod lock this now , thanks.

Deposit paid on new car so just waiting on a delivery date as it's in a dealers down south so needs to be trailed up to me. It should be this week. Cheers

Hoping to sort it out tomorrow however they need to get the car up from Milton keens so not sure how long that will take. I will update here tomorrow.

I am getting a Fiesta ST , I know it's totally different to the 86 but having used my Clio Cup I miss the hot hatch feel and I have never got to grips fully with RWD. Also the lack of low down torque gets on my nerves at times when I am not in the mood for the car. I was tempted to try a manifold and map but that's £1500 gamble that may not make the difference I am looking for.

Yes it is and I have the log book back after the plate change however I have a good px deal on the table so you need to let me know soon.

Its now time to move on so the car is up for sale, the private plate will be removed tomorrow , any questions please as via text or email or call ! Cheers

The charger looks very OEM,nice mods

I must say I would not be keen in having the tow hooks in all the time as a minor bump would impact into the chassis as its the most forward point imho. I use the screw driver but cover the tip in tape so that the metal does not dig into the paint or scratch the bumper if I have a slip up lol
