    Whizo got a reaction from GT86Reece in VLAND Headlights - Dipped Beam Settings?   
    This seems to be the norm with the HID kid direct from VLAND.  In my opinion they suck!!!
    The short bean is, like you have said, useless, you can only see about 1-2 meters ahead of you, really fun on an unlit motorway at night doing 70mph, NOT.
    VLAND support have been absolutely useless.  I have tried to adjust the beam height and it’s better but you have to get it just right, too low and it’s useless and too high and you end up blinding other motorists.  Yes the VLAND look good but as for performance the OEM headlights were a million times better, wish I hadn’t bothered with VLANDS now to be honest!

    Hint - they run fine on 95RON too!
     
     
    The engine has a knock sensor so will pull out spark and I doubt most of us would notice the difference if it is running retarded. Marketplace fuel in the UK often comes out at ~96+RON so it usually runs better than the fuels the cars were developed on (they are usually developed to a reference fuel rather than actual marketplace). Maybe on a hot day under high load you might push it to knock on 95RON.
    All said, I run mine on whatever premium fuel is available at the time. Engine never knocks and pulls just fine. Only combustion issue I ever had was on old spark plugs.

    Whizo got a reaction from DuncanM in Reserved a red GT86 in Wakefield :-)   
    I’m down the road from Wakefield pal, not many GT86’s around here so thought if you were local could have shared our passion for this car over a pint.  Will probably bump into you one day at an event, enjoy the car, you won’t regret it.

    Whizo got a reaction from Leonard in Aftermarket headlights & tail lights.   
    Hey fella.  That’s exactly what I will be going for, VLAND up front and VALENTI on the rear.  From the videos and photos I’ve seen they make a huge improvement to the car in way of looks.

    Whizo got a reaction from VAD17 in TD or Invidia N1 Cat Back   
    Thanks all for the responses.  Think I will go with the TD exhaust and also get the springs done while I am there.  
     
    Definitely want the non resonated since I have heard the resonated exhaust and that’s a little too quiet for my liking, especially once it’s had time to settle.
    Anyone got a ball park figure on cost of fitting, exhaust, springs and a geo?  If not I will give TD a call Monday.

    Deal is done, here is a photo of the car.  Due to being self employed I have work commitments until the end of the month but the dealer is willing to store the car for me until then.  So I won’t actually be picking the car up until the end of this month.  Can’t wait for the 120 mile drive home.  Thank you all for your help and advice, really appreciate it.

    The best thing about being bankrupt is that she won’t ever see a penny from me.  So she’s not going to ever benefit financially.

    Save up and spend. Do not take credit. It is much more enjoyable then.
