    Sold Perrin Shifter Knob Large Black

    Strange question - is the shifter cold to touch when the cars cold with it being alloy, also are you selling the oil filler cap and brake stopper ?

    Hi Do you have anymore pictures of the spoiler and diffuser. How does the spoiler fit does it use bolts or 3M tape ? Cheers

    tweedbean's Orange GT86

    Looks a great buy. The Mini is coming on well I decided to stick with my 86 in the end as I think I need to master rwd (hopefully lol) Are you planning on big power ? Cosworth maybe @Ade ? Or a big turbo, I guess having both types on the Mini ? Would give you an inclination which you prefer.

    Car looks nice although the wheels let it down, best put standard wheels back on and sell the 720's to me!!

    Strange rattle from rear

    Does sound like a loose heat shield maybe it's from the front end ?

    Clutch/Gearbox headache!

    Yeah mine does it occasionally esp on colder mornings when engaging 1st gear from 1st start up. Fine after that.

    Track day tuition

    I think Keethos has covered everything but if you are really worried about crashing take out track insurance which is around £130ish which will cover the vast majority of your car in the event of a big crash. Just be observant and you will be fine.

    Who's buying a new GT86?!

    Dash does look odd, looks like they've overlaid the chrome rings over the square display.

    Deacons '86

    I managed track insurance with Moris that had a £750 excess witch was half of everyone else. Chris Knott dont do trackday cover so I may switch to Greenlight as I want to do more trackdays.
  21. Hi I was wondering what gives the best improvement per £££ and in what order? I am considering sprinting mine next year but in MSA events so have to comply with certain regs mainly no bearing top mounts which omits most coil overs except Ohlins. The events are no more than one lap no more than a mile. So the order I was thinking is this 1. Tyres (on standard rims )from list 1a probably Michelin pilot sport cups ( if they are allowed next year) 2.Brake pads , something to give a bit more bite but must work from cold ? 3.Suspension, I use mine everyday so not looking for a big drop but would you think Ohlins are worth the outlay esp if I need to use standard top mounts ? Otherwise something like Koni dampers with RCE springs 4.Full alignment after coilovers/dampers 5.Lower final drive 6.Manifold and remap or exhaust and remap as I shouldn't need the low down torque. 7.Lighter wheels but 17" x 8" max What do you think and WHY ?

    Sprinting mods in what order,bang for £££

    If I spend an afternoon in the bar drinking I wouldn't be out of bed before midday never mind driving lol I am in Urmston probably not far from you ? 16" would alter the gearing as well does anyone use them?

    Sprinting mods in what order,bang for £££

    Hi I would do the TSS but the events are a long way away and I can't really do over night stops, the big benefit is more runs and not having to have fireproof overalls,gloves etc but I already have them so a moot point I guess.Also the regs are freer. Any idea of the calendar for next year ? I will have to wait on tyre lists before choosing tyres as like you say PSS 4 are not on it, yet. Brakes tend to hold some heat after a few runs but not had any fade on the few events I have done. Forgot about the cheaper wheels Deacon ! I also like the duckbill rear spoiler you have, that would not be allowed as it changes the silhouette Still not had enough spare weekend time to meet up Mike. (Td manifold?) Thanks
