I’ll hopefully meet you at beconsfield 8am

Great replies. Somebody actually said to me when I mentioned buying a 86 "aren't they going the way of the RX8, you know with the engine and things"... Couldn't resist posting on here and see what your responses are haha! I didn't expect any agreements.

I will meet you guys there as I will be coming from the other way round the M25

Ok, we’re in see you at 8am

I probably would be up for it, but let me confirm closer to the date. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

So having read this and other forums, finally took the plunge and decided to get my 2012 BRZ mapped. Contacted Mike on the 18th Feb and he was very helpful, responding quickly to my initial enquiry and patiently responded to my numerous questions. After a bit of back and forward I decided to go for the NA Tuning Package (UEL), MTEC Uprated Spring and Whiteline Positive shift upgrade kits and since TD would have the car for the best part of the day, decided to have the Billet Cam Plate kit fitted as a preventative measure at the same time. Everything was arranged for the 7th of March and I was up and out on the road early (5:20am) to make the trip south from Glasgow. Arrived at 8:30am and Mike was 15 minutes behind me to open up. Having handed over the keys, Mike was kind enough to give me a lift to the nearby UBC business centre (3 miles away) where I had booked an office for the day, I currently work mostly remotely from home so was able to effectively work there for the day, meaning I didn’t have to use a days holiday - result! Picked the car up at 4pm and couldn’t be happier with the upgrades - drives like a different car with the dreaded torque did almost entirely gone with the increased lower rev torque noticeable across all the gears. Gear changes are now much snappier and the exhaust note subtly enhanced. Had a bit of a blether with Mike before heading off home, and ooh'd and ahh'd about possibly getting a turbo at some point in the future as well as a couple of options for dealing with the cars suspension, which I have been unhappy about almost from the day I bought it in the summer of 2015. Previous owner had lowered the car on Eibach sportline springs and I subsequently upgraded to 18" rims with the rear end especially, being very unforgiving with the car bouncing badly on rough roads. Long story short, I was heading back down the M6 two weeks later, this time to get the BC Racing coilovers and the TD Super Resonated CAT back exhaust (my stock exhaust was corroded badly and very slightly beginning to blow so seemed like a good enough excuse). I have not stopped smiling since ... ride quality and handling are 100% improved and the exhaust note is just loud enough to be noticeable, without being in your face but at the same time very civilised when cruising on the motorway. Can’t speak highly enough about Mike, Nick and the rest of the guys at TD. I was well looked after, their prices are competitive and the work has been carried out to a high standard. I have spent a fair chunk of change in anyone’s book in a short space of time, but every upgrade has had a noticeable and very positive effect, all in all it's like having a new car. My only dilemma now is which kidney am I selling to fund the turbo upgrade? ...

I think today might turn out a bit better! I just got ID'd in Tesco Express when buying ciggies! I'm 52 LOL
