Not the best shot admittedly, but it is very recent and was certainly pic of the day on Monday

Drove past this location on the way to a meet (advantage of taking B roads everywhere), decided on the way back I would stop and take a photo. Lighting was spot on. Need to do something similar again with the new alloys when it's clean.

Ztox got a reaction from Tim86 in FS: forge turbo recirc valve

Ztox got a reaction from GT-Eighty-Chris in GT-Eighty-Chris' Build
To follow on from @TTR's comment on Work wheels, if you get them from Work Wheels UK (Driftworks) they do 0% finance so that could be an option perhaps

Ztox reacted to Lauren in Prospective owner, some questions!
You can't hit 60 in second anyway on the older car. No there is absolutely definitely no change to the final drive or power output. The new car has LED's not HID's as the old car has. Other markets got the revision changes, but it is not just limited to North America. Europe doesn't get it. Likely due to emissions regs and higher speed limits.
At the OP, if you are going to keep the car for a long time, I would see if you could stretch to the MY2017 car. If you could get a pre-reg, result. It's a better car than the old one and is a nicer place to be. In years to come, it will be the newer model that people want, so it may help residuals.
If you can't make the maths work, get a car that is no more than two years old and then you still have three years warranty left which is plenty. They are pretty strong mechanically. Yes, you will hear about it when it things go wrong, but the cars are quite robust. Coil packs seem to be dicky and this will throw an EML, but it is easy to get it replaced under warranty. I have done 96,000 miles plus and will soon hit 100K. My car is now in it's fourth year of sprinting, it's done a fair few trackdays and it's been round Europe four times! In all that mileage I've had two coilpacks (the same one twice!), a driveshaft (a known problem if you lower the car) and my heated seat switch has now stopped illuminating for the second time. The seat heater still works fine though. I'm still on my original clutch. The brakes last really well, it's a cheap car to run too.
As far as mileage goes, I don't think there's an issue, but there are plenty of low mileage cars around. The most expensive services are at 60K and 80K, otherwise service costs are not too bad.
Whatever one you choose to go with, it's well worth getting one with the leather/alcantara heated seat option. The sat nav option is over priced and is not very good. But it's easy to put another head unit in with whatever you want.
