  1. The moment you put a catless manifold and an exhaust system on this car and throw a remap on it it feels like it gains a lot more than just 20-25BHP. The difference is just so stark when it comes to day to day driving. I can't wait to feel what it's like with a turbo.

    Toyota Reading Jemca..... COMPLAINT

    I tend to go around myself now every time the car's been out of my hands and take a quick look at everything. After the last time I was at a dealer they left my brake fluid cap off they were extremely apologetic and recycled the whole system then and there, but that was a lesson for me and and even when I get my car back from Fensport etc I make sure to do a quick inspection just in case. People are human and dealership mechanics especially aren't the best paid, the car is my baby and I take some responsibility for making sure she's ok.
  3. Could you bring my Heritage book along @rob275?

    After a year?! Tell that you want to claim it under warranty, a year is ridiculous.

    Recall Notice: Power Steering Defect

    If they go anywhere near my engine ECU a bit flashing alarm goes off with a foghorn and ninjas are automatically called....
  6. Lodge an appeal with the council to get the work stopped?

    Adrian Flux August Competition

    Attended: Japfest, Simply Japanese & attending JAE Favourite: Japfest, was my first time there and meeting so many people all with the same passion and love for their cars was eye-opening, especially with the variety of machines on show. I also realised that my "dream garage" was about 3x bigger than I'd ever imagined it could be.

    19" wheels

    If you go to 19" you need to take another 2.5cm off the profile of the tyre to keep the overall wheel circumference close to stock/keep the speedo correct. Those low profile tyres, even on the soft stock suspension, could make the ride extremely harsh.

    GT86 from Belgium "Kurokongouseki"

    I see all the caps and fillers are now red, did you buy those from somewhere or spray the stock ones?

    Help Ade pick an exhaust!

    Help Ade pick an exhaust!

    The Q300 is quiet. No 2 ways about it. Even with a catless manifold and just an HFC in the middle it's burbly and pops and bangs but it's never obnoxious. If you want something with literally zero drone, no cruising noise whatsoever and just a nice tone, then it's probably good (for an old man anyway).
  17. GT62 KES, what wing is that???

    Looking for: TRD BBK

    I'm not spending more on brakes than on a turbo. I understand the logic, and understand brakes = safety etc etc But more power > more stopping.
