    GT 86 rear parking camera kit

    Have you got a photo of using it at night? Very interested.... not local to Birmingham, how straightforward is it to fit yourself?

    I've had blowouts on more than one car, I'm paranoid I've never had a tyre die in a way it would have helped Thank you Thank you
  4. Found this article about new European noise regulations which touches on aftermarket exhausts https://jalopnik.com/european-noise-regulations-are-forcing-sports-car-maker-1836817816
  5. I don't know if it's getting stricter next year, but currently I believe the mot rules say it can fail if the car is noisier than a similar car with stock exhaust. A quick hunt on Google says this came in around 2010ish and people often get advisaries but not been able to find anyone failing with it. Use a garage that understands performance cars. "yes sir, this car is a sports car, a similar car car with stock exhaust you say? Well this Pagani is also a sports car, let's compare exhaust volume"

    I might look at that. I quite like space savers though because if I have a full size spare then I don't get around to getting it fixed, whereas if I have an ugly speed restricted space saver on the car it prompts me to sort it!!

    Yeh, I've managed to find a different angle to get into the drive which allows me a bit more momentum to get over the ramp so doesn't need so much clutch slip to get in now!

    Thank you so much! Forums are the best :) good point on rotating the tyres. I'll get onto one of those wheels. I hate being caught out without something (ever since the AA left me on the side of the M4 for over 4 hours with 2 kids under 4) so want to get something in place. Loving the car though. Finding the reverse quite high geared, got quite a lot of clutch smell getting into my driveway as it wanted to move quite quick (has a bit of a ramp), is this common?

    Hi All, After drooling after them for years, took the plunge on a rather nice 2013 GT86! Now onto a question, of course :) I want to get a space saver wheel for it, but not sure of the dimensions / tyre size to get. Would https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135-70-R16-Bridgestone-Subaru-5x100-Spacesaver-100M/123817698352?hash=item1cd41c2430:g:ASMAAOSw-hVdFb7e be likely to fit? I think its correct bolt spacing, but not sure on brake clearance, diameter etc...
