I woke up feeling really rough this morning, having to give it a miss 🙁. Enjoy the weather everyone.

please could someone send me a readable copy of this bloody doc, appears to be some Apple format.

I'm selling my P3 cars vent gauge. Excellent condition, full working order. It is one of these - https://www.fensport.co.uk/parts/subaru/brz/zc6/gauges/gt86-p3-gauge-pre-installed-in-vent/ It is the version that is pre-installed in a vent, so no messing about. You just unclip the silver trim ring and outer ring off your existing vent and clip it around this. The plug goes into the OBD port. The extra wires are if you want to plumb in additional sensors, but I've never touched them. £210 inc. postage, or £200 picked up. (Caterham, Surrey) I'll be at a few meets coming up - Bromley Pageant of motoring, Japanese Auto Matsuri, and the Japanese Sprint series at Kendrew.

Toyota advertising standard specification which is not fitted to their car

I'd let it go, there are better things in life to do than worry about the lack of a self-dimming mirror on a car you no longer own. -
It is under the seat yeah. I don't remember the passenger side being different.
-
Eh? It's a wiring connector, depress the tab to release. Plug back to make it work again?!
-
The cheapest way is just to disconnect the wiring connector going to the seat belt receiver! I used one of these plugs until I realised.
-
I guess if you're that sure go with it, it's your decision. I don't profess to be an expert!
-
In a bad accident the force that goes through the seat belt is huge, I wouldn't want to attach to something which I don't know the strength of when there is a known good point to attach to right there.
-
It's designed to be able to be bent. I wouldn't use that bracket.
-
Laminate flooring in a car? 😲 I think some carpet stuck to a board would look far tidier, but if you think it looks good.
-
They're pretty steep for what they are now.
-
It's a fair bit lighter. I didn't weigh when fitting, but the new calipers and discs were a fraction of the weight of the OEM items. Like comfortably lift with your little finger type of weight.

Re: Essex endurance kit - it's pretty dumb to buy a British product from an American supplier. Customs and shipping companies will love you.
-
Oh and I'm sure you know this, but a cool down lap is critical for the brakes. And do not put the handbrake on when you stop!
-
It would help avoid fade, but I just remembered Toyota use 5.1 as standard now, which should be ok for your first track day unless you're Lewis Hamilton. I did a few track days on Primacy tyres and OEM brakes. Brakes were fine until I did an instructor session, stayed out 20 mins driving hard and they smeared over the discs. If you keep it to 15 minutes you'll likely be fine.
-
The stock suspension is fairly good, lowering springs are for looks rather than handling. Of you're gonna do anything fit better front brake pads and fluid, otherwise leave it - it will be fine for your first go. Keep it to 15 mins max if you don't upgrade the brakes.
-
Yeah I can see they stop the door moving, I'm just sceptical how much stiffness the chassis gets from a door in the first place.
-
Do you think the door stabilisers do anything perceptible?
-
I've got Will's fluid in mine, it is a bit hydroscopic being a race dot 4 but I've found it's not as bad as Motul dot 4's. Probably just needs a small interim bleed.
-
If it's soft after 1 lap there's air/moisture in the system.
-
No, I just changed the broken one in my lunch hour yesterday to find out if it had written off my engine. Suffice to say, I will be replacing the others ASAP.
