  1. I don't see why not. The finance company just want money - they don't care from whence it came. If you're uncertain, a quick phone call should answer your question. Nb. No need to go into details - just ask if it's okay to pay by credit card - mentioning anything else may muddy the waters.

    Eddy bagged D4S gt86

    Nice one. Are you going to leave it as-is, or wrap or paint it?

    Ajay's HKS Supercharged GT86 TRD Build

    Chatteris is in the Midlands? Yep, Adrian is very good. I went out with him to do mine. It's very interesting seeing the live data and him fiddle with the graphs until it's just right.
  4. Don't they use a sensor to determine whether the seat's occupied? Pretty sure an empty seat won't heat. Never tried it though...

    Nicks white 86

    Not typically a fan of white cars, but this wears it well. Good work.

    Ade's Road and Track Toy

    Thanks for comprehensive reply. I'm leaning towards the Harrop personally but can appreciate why you and others prefer the Cosworth. If I were a track enthusiast I'd probably go the same way, but my driving is primarily lanes and B roads so absolute power isn't a priority. I doubt I'd get to appreciate the Cosworth on my 10 miles each way 'commute', where the Harrop-Eaton will give me that bit more grunt out of the bends and up the inclines. I'm a technical incompetent so self-fit is not an option. I have the ECUtek licence since remap a couple of years ago so that'll save a few bob. Mark at Abbey has provided a quote which I'm considering, pending a test drive in their demonstrator. Hoping for a decent end of year bonus in April - until then it's a pipe dream anyway.

    Hope I'm not being cheeky or too nosy... I note you've installed and are enjoying the Cosworth stage 2 SC - did you consider any others? What made you choose Cosworth over Sprintex, Harrop, etc?
  8. Sounds like that may be the case. My seat takes a few minutes to get warm and maybe five minutes to full temp. I keep it on most of the time - helps my dodgy lower back.

    Instrument binnacle pod - in leather?

    ... for those with good eyesight or contact lenses. For we spectacle wearers, not so much. TBH though, glare of/from the binnacle has never been an issue for me, though I'm quite tall sat down so maybe that's the difference?

    Instrument binnacle pod - in leather?

    T&M Auto Trim did the 'original' alcantara so they have the pattern. I'd expect it's worth asking them?

    Smudge's supercharged V8 build

    The old TVR AJP 4.5 litre V8 flat plane crank still sounds epic to me. Cerb 450

    ACE Header for RHD cars in @ Abbey Motorsport

    Noob question alert: Is this compatible with any existing cat-back system, 2.5" & 3"?

    Another good read. Thanks for taking the time to share.

    Harrop GT86 Eaton TVS1320

    Yep, sorry. Guessed that and edited my post so we overlapped. Apologies.

    Harrop GT86 Eaton TVS1320

    Nearly 20% is quite a large 'small amount', or is the price in OP not including ECUTEK etc?

    Some "Thank You's" and Harrop preview

    That's interesting. Any photos of it fitted, does it look good and OE like Pitman's (the only other turbo I've seen in real life)?
