    GT86 HERITAGE BOOK.

    I don't know the best way to find out how many would be interested. I would like a copy but would obviously like to pay less for it!

    Original wheels & tyres

    I have just brought a set of 4 'Brand new' 17" wheels and tyres for £320. Can be brought separately. Get 5 and have a full size spare or just the 1. Ideal for when your tyres wear out. Replace the complete wheel & tyre and then get a set of Winter tyres put on the removed wheels!! The 'Brand new' sets were removed from upgraded cars and have done almost ZERO miles, the tyres still have the red lines on tread! The seller is based near Horsham, Sussex and will deliver at £40 or you can collect. He is an ex Toyota employee who bought up a good stock from Toyota. I'm just passing on what I believe to be useful info for members. The seller asked that if I knew anyone interested to let them know and this is obviously the best way to do that. I will ask him for the contact details that he is happy to use. Search for 'Toyota GT86 Subaru BRZ set of 4 alloy wheels and tyres' The seller is 'grimm34' Price is stated as £320 + £40 delivery. He said he could come down a bit if a bulk order could be done, but I understand this would only be £10. The alloys have even got plastic covering on the outside only exposing the centre to enable wheels to be fitted/removed! Totally unmarked and he does Guarantee this on his ad.
  3. Used to go to The Grasshopper when I was a young man and living with parents in Tonbridge. The TSSC (Triumph Sports Six Club) used to meet there, my wife to be (married 30 years now) was a member. I belonged to the TR Register with my 1975 TR6. Met at a 'Disco' arranged by TSSC to which i was invited.
  4. Damn! Missed it, have been looking forward to a meet at The Grasshopper. Was away!

    Service Charge Changes

    Had my first service yesterday at £179. Offered service plan for £791.98 which is for the first 3 years services (including the one I had). This is offered at 17 monthly payments of £34.94 + deposit of £198. This would mean that the next 2 services would average to £306.49 each. Your figures would add to £760 (200 + 360 + 200). so probably not too bad as paying monthly?

    Giallo '62'

    I am happy to put car on club stand at events if I am available. Unfortunately can't do Japfest! I am hoping to go to The Grasshopper at some time, next meet? For anyone who hasn't seen a Giallo the yellow is very close to 'AA' yellow but nicer, there's an 'AA' van in my road!

    Seat belt shoulder guides

    Hi, I went to see my Giallo with the full intention of buying the car. The car was parked up and I looked through the passenger window and noticed the exact same thing NO strap and pulled out fixing. I was hoping to buy the car and drive it home but the dealer wasn't aware of the strap!!!! Had to wait 2 weeks as they went to Toyota and had the seat cover replaced (under warranty). The cover can be removed and a new fixing applied as it would have been originally.

    Giallo '62'

    Will try and get some pics up soon. Any other 'Giallos' around Chatham? I do belong to the GT4OC, but unfortunately car isn't really worth selling as most people want it for about £500. I won't let it get broken up and am considering donating it to a college mechanics department! The engine is NBG, piston rings. Have spare engine but has sheared camshaft and therefore probably damaged valves. Bodywork is good but needs respray and everything is stock NO mods even has original ICE!
