    TRD Carbon Fins

    Would look epic on my car, but would rather spend the £300 towards a remap. Good luck with the sale

    Gyeon Wet coat

    Think it will sheet with volume of water. This is just drizzle as it has rained this afternoon. When I drove off it mostly poured off the vehicle. Will see when I clean it if it still sheets Gets amazing reviews on detailing world etc, seems to defy physics lol

    Oil Leaking into Manifold

    I got the car on ramps today for a nosey to see if I could see any evidence of oil leaking. I didn't have to look far. The heat shield : The bolt for the earth cable under the variable timing: The other end of the engine at the front: Did some snooping with the fiber optic camera and found plenty of wet oily bits: Back to RRG I guess, not sure where it is all coming from

    Watches in the GT86

    Swapped to a magnetic black Milanese loop

    Hi

    I think the 86 seems more air-tight than previous cars I have owned and mists up easier. It maybe the smaller cabin size..

    Do they all appreciate in value?

    Oil Leaking into Manifold

    Where should I look to check to see if that is the culprit?

    Oil Leaking into Manifold

    Seems I may have another leak elsewhere. Car and engine bay smells of burnt oil and there is a slight white "steam" off the engine when I lift the bonnet

    Car has been sat on my drive most of the week as i worked in Budapest this week. Will check the hydrophobic properties after I have actually done some miles

    Supagard on a used car - worth it?

    You can buy the supaguard kits on eBay for like £30 or less. The interior protector is ok. Probably better sealants out there. For £200 you probably get a 17 ur old garage monkey that puts it on without prepping, so you seal dirt and unpolished paint. Probably better investing in a detail elsewhere

    I agree, this is the next best thing or for use between details for busy people

    Farewell Vulcan

    I was at Southport Air Show yesterday to see one of the Vulcan's last outings. Was sad to think this beast won't be flying after this season..

    Gyeon Wet coat

    It seems to have worked for many many people. I was sceptical but the finish is great. It's the longevity I need to test. What would it take to convince you smudge? http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/gyeon-q2m-wetcoat.html
