i hear alot of people going on about squeeling pads, i have a 14 plate and done nearly 600 miles and no signs of squeeks or squeels yet? maybe they changed the compounds slightly for newer cars?
-
looks nice, guessing you can go lower than that if you wanted? the wheels go with the strip nicely also
whats the main difference between the advance and the flex? apart from a few hundred quid!
seen the flex for around £1044 and the advance for around £700 that sound about right?
-
Saw either a black or Dark grey 86 this morining around 9. was on carter lane.
Only saw it for a split second as just dropped the gf off at work haha
I was in a white one with toe down if you didnt see/hear me haha
Anyone one on here?
-
They are subtle....They arent too bad, i think what lauren meant was the Reds, Oranges, Lime Greens and Whites!!
Bright colours are a big no, i know too many people in their corsa vxrs and fiesta st's haha
Still looking at darker greys but will be shiny, maybe a metallic shine in there
There will be at least 1 SC and TC car going if you're interested to have a good close up nosey.
Hmmm dont tease me haha, i think the main difference will be how they drive, im leaning more towards the charger due to its low down grunt and being more usable, but then i like how the turbo kicks in as its quite similiar to how it is now, when you reach higher revs it picks up another gear.
Of course il have a nosey round but i will be doing cosmetics first coilovers and alloys before charger as im happy with the power at the moment
-
Great stuff, welcome aboard.
Seeing as you've got a white car, have you considered a more lairy colour for the alloys? All the rage it seems at the moment!
Which coilovers are you considering?
no thank you, i like my car looking smart, subtle mods im not the lairy sort of guy
not sure yet, been looking at the tein coilovers or possibly HSD
Not be yet as need to save some cash up :'(
I must say so far this forum seems a lot friendlier. and cant wait to meet you all at some point hopefully most of you at cosworth
Keethos reacted to this -
Awesome, I'll be at the Cosworth Launch Event too, looking forward to that seeing what they've got!
Awesome, i presume your coming in the 86? as its a fa20 only event. Least i will be able to find you,
thats the hardest part of meeting people for the first time, as alot of the cars are quite similar
-
yh not seen many white ones, there was a repaired one the other day but got snapped up.
White gt86 owners look after their cars you see
only jokin buddy
-
If i knew you needed another front bumper, i just sold a black one on ebay for £100 :/ sorry pal. Got a rear still lmao but its been cut for the trd exhaust trim
-

apart from the top mount and the rear shocks having a different body i couldnt see much difference.
So rob, that brings me to my next question
Which spring rates are better? i can handle harsh rides had classic minis!
il be doing mainly street driving with the odd track and drift day. Dont think il go for the edfc as i dont think il use it enough.
For the sake of £300 is it worth saving for the street flex?
