^^^they are usually progressive rates too, which helps. Never bottomed out on my tein springs, it's a great setup. Wongy if its purely aesthetics you want it for I'd seriously consider going for the TunedUK springs. Otherwise you are forking out several hundred quid just for that extra finger which seems bonkers to me.

Not a clue mate. Used to do it all the time when it was new. Now it doesn't seem to do it. Like yours it came from behind me. My guess was it was something to do with the evap system. Does it do it stationary or when the car moves?

Does it sound like this.... https://youtu.be/9YUrE_0t5-c

A few hard stops might sort you out. Did it for me. You need to do it properly though, no half hearted attempts.

Android Auto has a very limited amount of apps available to run on it. The Apps used here have to be qualified/approved for use in a car. The reason the big names do not sell full Android operating headunits is that they shouldn't be using full android operating systems in cars. Effectively you are using a mobile phone.

Spikeyone. Offline maps use downloaded road maps and the GPS receiver for positioning. These pre loaded maps are either downloaded through a data connection onto internal storage or by an SD card. The advantage of this is you don't need to rely on having good data reception and using up your data allowance. Online maps use a data connection to basically stream the map, it still uses GPS for positioning though. The advantage of this is that your maps will never be outdated and you can receive live traffic updates etc. The downside is you need a data connection, typically using your mobile phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot. Each have their pros and cons. Running a android headunit gives you the flexibility to run any of the best sat nav apps available offline and online. Great in depth review by the way Matt, the fit for a touch screen device is very very good, had this unit been available when I was looking for one i probably would have gone for it. How irritating is it not being able to run Co-Pilot!!! I have encountered the same issue with my Joying Headunit. One thing I will say is keep the amount of apps on there to a minimum and anything that doesn't need to have data, disable it (i.e. do you need your emails updated?) It keeps the headunit running much slicker but I'm sure you know this anyway.

Very tastefully done Ross. One of the only cars I'd consider if I was to replace my 86. The wheels suit it well, got a nice OEM+ look to it.

Like it's been said it's all down to personal taste. Don't forget the GT86 also comes with 18s 'as standard' on certain versions

I reckon Aviva or Adrian Flux is your best bet. Oddly enough my my renewal this year was very similar to yours. Admiral renewal came in at £688 and the cheapest insurer from price comparison sites was £540 from Esure. Having seen how much people were paying I still wasn't happy so tried the brokers. Yeah its a pain but definitely worth the effort, i ended up ringing back 3 or 3 times. In the end the best I got was £420 from both Aviva and Adrian Flux. Flux clinched it as their price included legal cover which Aviva didnt. Make sure you jot down your cheapest quotes and who they are with as the brokers need this info. Im 28, 8 years NCB, clean license, mods declared.

They are pretty... I don't have a grand laying around unfortunately. Good luck with the sale, not often these will come up!!

They all run the TRD style spoilers too. Wonder if that's for a reason or are they just supplied with them in that neck of the woods

What are the spring rates for these? Are they designed for use with the Stock dampers? Also Lowe was you on any other springs before hand?

Criminal! In all honesty it looks lovely. How do you find it after the 86? It's one of those cars I do often look at as a replacement. Are those wheels factory fitted? They are much nicer than all the others I see fitted to the 235

The Takeda kit for the 86 bares no resemblance to that of your CRZ. Intake noise is barely noticeable partly due to the fact most kits are fully enclosed and the snorkel in the bumper dampens the sound. So yeah like it's been said save your money, the Takeda is no different. I ignored most of the feedback and bought a Grimmspeed kit which is supposed to be the best out there but I still ended up selling it on (funny as it contradicts my post above )

Got to say I've notice this on the stock pads over the past few months. Not sure if it's weather related or wear. They feel the same, just don't have the same grab, it feels like I have less brake assistance if that makes sense.

Whats the catch? "we don't cover the interior, the wheels, clutch etc"

LOL, I see the no modding is going well Stutopia... Fitment on the listed wheels is conservative so you wont issues, my choice from your listed options would be the 18x8.0 ET45 TE37's. Studs ands centre are also correct. You will need 60deg tapered wheel nuts too, IMO I'd stick to steel as a material. Alunimum/duraluminum/alloy whatever nevers seems like a bright idea to me.

And this matters why? Who cares, If you bought a GT86 to out drag other cars then you bought the wrong car. Personally I enjoy driving not comparing, I couldn't care less what everyone else around me is doing. Pretty sure every GT86 owner knows what they are getting into when they bought one. There are plenty of quick boring cars out that you can blow everyone away with on public roads if thats your thing. '200bhp isn't enough' has only come around because manufacturers have cranked up the power of their cars in a bid to outdo each other. Nobody whinged several years ago when most hot hatches etc were knocking around that mark,. I've driven a Harrop 'charged car back to back with my own and yeah it was a hell of alot faster but it wasn't anymore enjoyable, just ended up sitting on the brakes all the time. Each to their own.

Poor guy must get fed up with that question. I'm glad he stuck to his guns though. No doubt if there was a turbocharged version people will moan, "its too expensive" "it loses it character". Saying that the car would need an entire new platform is a cop out though. Downsizing with a turbo is unlikely to be much heavier if any at all.

Not normal. Mine is smooth and silent.

"Mic drop"

It was quite a few years ago now but Inovit weren't very highly rated. They were cheap and brittle. May of changed now but it's worth looking into.

I think the stock suspension is pretty good, (many reviewers out there believe this to) if you pick a spring without silly spring rates you can't go far wrong. I went for Tein Luxury Masters as the spring rate was the closest I could find to stock, which will obviously help keep within the spec of the dampers and keeps the same handling characteristics as stock. This is the only car I've owned which hasn't had aftermarket coilovers and I'm more than happy with the results. If you are purely lowering your car for aesthetics and want to keep the drop moderate (i.e. less than 35mm) then it would be silly to spend a load of cash on a set of adjustable coilovers.

Abbey will install and map whatever you want them to. There are plenty of good combos out there. Seems to be a current trend on this forum that TD is the only good option which isn't true.

Plenty of people go to Abbey, like you say its just not publicised as much on this particular forum.
