Got a quote on the 17th from you guys. Have yet to take it as need to get my 3rd quote!

Ah, So that's what you look like.. On my phone you look like mike brewer in your avatar!

I'll soon be putting on an overpipe and Berk HFC with stock everything else if that's any use? Won't be for a few days though.

No worries Ian, maybe because I have the sprintex rather than turbo\na its louder than normal? The millteks I heard on the gt86 promo cars at goodwood were definitely quieter but going to see what the HFC and overpipe does first to the sound before anything.. Thinking uel manifold and stock catback tbh if there's no rasp? I'll get some pics up after the repolish later in the week.

Just want to see if anyone is up for it. Not 100% sure yet but would anyone be interested in swapping their milltek (must be resonated centre section) for my ark grip, preferably with the new flexi to stop it cracking!Im in swindon, wiltshire. (im thinking its a bit too bassy at low rpm for me, fairly quite on idle But a deeper tone. Quietens off in very high rpm, no drone when cruising with minimal loud pedal)Long shot but i would also swap for a uel catless manifold then keep my cat back stock.

Cheers 👍

Found this site a few fays ago so thought i should post. Took an 86 for a testdrive a couple of weeks ago and decided to take the plunge. Ive previously had 2 mr2 turbos, mk3 mr2, fto, ctr, evo 5 etc. And most recently an e93 m3.. I put my car up for sale thinking id be waiting a while to sell it but it sold in under 16 hours! Anyway. The test drive. My initial impressions were that the car sounded like a sewing machine and power was an obvious downgrade from 400hp, some elements of the car seem cheap but amongst all that was a car i felt that i liked. The future will hold a turbo or supercharger upgrade but for now ill start with the lesser items. The car i have selected from a list at the dealer is a white 2012 manual with 10k on the clock. Im awaiting the v5 for a plate transfer so the car can be shipped to the dealer for me to look at it and approve/disapprove. I am a little concerned after alot of reading that if i will notice whether or not the car suffers from the 2nd gear issue at this time if year if i test drive it cold as ambient temps ar not that low now. When i mentioned that i want to check for this the salesman surprisingly said that he had niticed that with the gt86 and that you should be using more revs! This has caused alarm bells ringing but am i worrying too much ? I dont want to be lumbered with a lemon! Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

Didnt think of that! Im not lowered yet.. Ian was, but not sure by how much. They are the same tips on the exhaust (welded on), i was cleaning it up with autosol and the blue started turning brown.. So i had to carry on untill they were silver!

Hello mate, yes Ians old one. It has silver tips now though, not blue. It was on my car for a week. I didnt ground it at all and doesnt like it ever has been. I cant measure clearance as its off the car already. Sorry. Im keeping the hfc and overpipe. Thats why the difference in price.

For sale now. £400 cash, no offers. PayPal will be +fees and postage cost.

Ha ha, what can i say 😅 I want to blast in stealth mode!

OK cheers. Didnt think of lifespan.. Just realised I didn't add the link of the other halfords coolant. It was the red silicate free one . I'll call Subaru tomorrow.. Closer than Toyota anyway!

Hey, just after a bit of advice. Ive lost a bit of coolant by taking off the throttle body heater hoses (disconnected one down by the back of the engine). Will this bleed itself when i next start the car? Also my fuel lines are drained by the injectors.. Will they self bleed/pressurise ok when i next turn the car on? Regards to coolant would this one be ok if im low?http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&langId=-1&categoryId=255224&productId=995523&storeId=10001 Cheers.

Oops. Meant to link this. I presume is red going by the blue one previously linked. Gues itll be ok to mix as its still silicate free?

No im not really, 5'10 ish (i think). I have tried to look out of the rear side window too but the angle of view is so acute its unsafe to pull out as i dont have a full view of whats coming. Liveable with, i just have to be aware and read the road a bit as to angle of approach.. If i get it wrong id imagine it looks like im trying to lick the front quarter light window! Ha ha.

I do have to disagree with point 3. I have a large roundabout near me. To turn left the lane tapers over to the left.. If i follow the lane i cannot see to my right as the b/c pillars are so intrusive/blocking view. I either have to put my head pretty much on the steering wheel to see right, or point the car more towards the centre point of the roundabout and skewed to the lane angle.

Hate to say it but i dont mind the front bumper on its own as just an aftermarket bumper not trying to create an aston rep.. Maybe change the bar grills.. Rhe rest can be binned though

Thought the last one started at 18/19k new?? Prices go up all the time.. I remember when baked beans were 6p lol. I think it may seem high but reflects the costs of similar cars in this bracket which no one seems to complain about.

Oo oo, a sard mc8 to add to the mix.. Although i never knew it existed untill i was 18/19

I'm a bit young for this but still one of my faves, the rothmans Porsche 962. The one above looks mean!(apart from the apple logo)
