    I am sure many of you know this car already it's Lauren's old car and it's for sale, a unique opportunity to own one of the best known GT86 in the UK. Having featured in trips around Europe, track-days and a class winning car in the Toyota Sprint Series. just so everyone is clear this car was stolen from our home in November last year. It was recovered by myself and Lauren about 5 hours later after finding it abandoned in Manchester with a very damaged engine. The insurance was claimed on it, they wrote the car off as a Category N (written off with no structural damage). I then bought the salvage rights to it. It's been sat on our driveway throughout the time the insurance was processed. This means that: It will require a replacement engine. It will require a replacement lock / keyless entry set. It will have a Cat N write off marker on the registration. The MOT has expired It is Untaxed (SORN) Given the way it was driven by the thief there maybe other damage eg. to suspension. It will require a trailer to move. The engine does run, but it sounds very much like there's at least one big-end bearing has failed. It's enough to allow it to be moved about, but it is not drivable. We do have a spare key for it at and the V5C registration document. Ok, that is the worst bit over! Overall it is in good condition though, bear in mind it has done 159 thousand miles so there is going to be the usual wear and tear stuff. The odd dent, scratches etc. There is a small section of missing paint on the front bumper just under the Toyota badge. Of course given it's history it is a very very well setup car in terms of handling and braking and would make a great track-day weapon or competitive entry to the TSS.

    Wheel nut torque

    I used to do this, one day my wheel fell off. I have used a torque wrench ever since.
