    Tyre choices

    I bet you searched using your registration as that will default to the lower load rating only 87 I searched on Tyre size and left load rating blank to allow choice of XL tyres 91 iirc Just checked and prices have gone up a little

    Tyre choices

    Bought our PS4 from Costco, just under £380 for the 4 then there is £50 cash back Strangely they did not add the firing charge online and the store said there was nothing more to pay Reviews of the PS4 send to indicate it was the right the for me. I don't want to have fee a playful rear end, i don't have the skills to do that on the public road So far, even with the freshness an releasing agent it is night and day with the primacy. Can't believe the Wear rating 320 iirc, they seem so grippy Was going to get v105 until i saw this deal and the price difference was minor

  6. My worry with winter tyres is someone behind assuming they have the same grip and going into the back of us We have winter tyres" both our cars, as you say amazing One year I pulled into a pub overflow car park and realised I was the only non 4x4 to make it up the slope

    Unexpected things you like about the GT86

    The basic car has all I need (bar reversing camera) Best seats since the recaros in an ST220 mondeo Agree on the wing bulges

    Interesting, feedback there. Is that after trying all 3? Won't be going on a track in my own car but we'll consider cs5 as do drive hard at times Tbh so far running in had no issues with std tyres

    Tyres

    Hankook evo worked well on a mattress polo gti, very different car though Seriously op buy decent tyres, or sell the car. It deserves it, unless of course your like the scary what is my back our front end about to do Our skoda came with Dunlop sport max on the front and sava intensa on the rear. Hated both in fact the sava were dangerous, only time the back end stepped out in 7 years. Switched to ultrac sessanta, Michelin ps2 and now eagle asymmetric 2. Don't go cheap.

    Tyres

    That said tyres, brakes, suspension are the most important parts of any car and should not be scrimped on I will be fitting, either the Yokohama that did week I the evo test, continuing sport contact 5 or most likely eagle f1 asymmetric 2

    Tyres

    The T1R Toyota were good in the day, ran them on a turbo 2000 imprezza huge upgrade on the std for Bridgestone in 2001 Tyres have improved but with the BRZ being a similar weight and bhp world expect them to work okay

    Std BRZ head unit and Pioneer sat nav

    Indeed I had noticed that on the specs. but Subaru are quoting £1200 fitted Just for the head unit. I really don't need integrated nav as I like my dash mounted garmin, so might look at a lower spec model once I confirm the size is the same
  15. Are these standard double din with trim or Toyota fit 200mm? Looking to upgrade std unit. Don't want mismatch side filers so looking for Toyota shaped units. I am wondering if actually I already have trim surrounds to hide the gap so I am worrying unnecessarily Cheers Gary

    Std BRZ head unit and Pioneer sat nav

    Interestingly the desert just confirmed the brz std fitted nav is AVIC-F9770BT which is standard double din Perhaps the BRZ already has filler panels If only it had the Toyota head unit then I could just add a camera

    Std BRZ head unit and Pioneer sat nav

    So Pioneer do a Toyota sized unit That's good to know Just don't need sat nav
  18. Searched far and wide for thw WBT units that for a Toyota aperture with no adaptors Can only find Australian suppliers and no UK. Models include DDX615wbt DDX635WBT DDX715WBT Not fussed about sat nav BUT DO want to add reversing camera to my BRZ MANY THANKS Gary
  19. Sorry Rob can't make out as in Bournemouth
  20. Hi neighbor hit the carbon section this morning, really they only touched it Sadly it has "torn" the carbon very slightly What is the best way to repair this. It was not their fault I heard then put it into reverse and it moved forward. Same thing happened to me when I drove it Just want it looking less obvious, not going to ask good neighbors to pay for a new bumper Thanks Gary
  21. That sounds like the voice of experience!! Thank you I see you are in Surrey too - any chance I could come over and you could show me how (as I don't have a heat gun!?) As I don't have a heat gun, I am a baker so happy to bring cake !!!
  22. Photo of the damage I am assuming the carbon effect is in in fact a wrap?
  23. To Be honest I did not ask as I would not ask my friend and neighbor to pay that much - just the painting is more than I would expect them to pay.
  24. Unfortunately dealer says is the whole bumper plus painting. It does look one piece do that might be correct
