Hi All, We are changing the way Projects & Build threads are handled on the forum and as such all project and build threads have been locked and it will no longer be possible to post and new build threads there. Instead we are introducing blogs, those of you who have been with the club from the get go will recall having the feature previously and it has been requested by a few and we feel it will benefit all going forward to have this. It will essentially work the same although each update post from yourself will be able to be commented on individually, hopefully making dicsussion a bit more topical rather than things going off on a tangent and even if they do, it won't distract from the build itself. You should all now be able to see "Blogs" under the navigation and be able to create a blog. There are some restrictions, normal members are restricted to one blog, premium members are able to create multiple blogs and can moderate posts and their blogs themselves. So what is happening to the old build threads? They will be staying but if you want to migrate things over you are welcome to do this manually, unfortunately there isn't any automatic process for doing so. If you want to start a blog and have a project thread already, it may be beneficial linking to it in your first blog post. Many Thanks, Rob

The market is dire atm, it's at that point where a load of idiots want to pay 2-3k less than the asking cos they can't afford it.

A sad day indeed, but after much deliberation over the past week and driving it for the weekend to convince myself otherwise i'm putting my GT86 up for sale. Given the broad spectrum of pricing on the market at the moment, i'm struggling to gauge how much this car really is worth. I guess it's worth as much as anyone is willing to pay for it and given the amount included with the sale i'm going to put this up for £14,000. Car has just come back from having it's 5 year Service and MOT at Abbey Motorsport, nothing bad to report! Car will come with receipts/Invoices for all work carried out on the car along with full service history and a stamped book (once I go around and get 5 years of stamps!) Car has been maintained by Abbey Motorsport who i'm sure you all know and i'm sure Mark can vouch for the car. Engine ECUTEK Tune (ECU Programming tool & dongle included with sale) HKS Super hybrid panel filter Exhaust OEM Exhaust Suspension / Bracing / Other TEIN Street Flex coilover TEIN EDFC active pro Aluminium propshaft Brakes Tarox front BBK Dixcel HS Front/Rear Discs & Z type Pads (Fronts obviously not on the car!) Cosmetic Five-Axis bodykit (minus the spoiler) smoothed in (Work carried out by RT Performance) Intec rear lights Dark smoke window security tints on rear 3 windows Wheels ROTA Titan 17x9 ET42 Bad Bits I'm going to be as transparent as I can with the bad bits to the car so that any potential buyer knows so see below. Front bumper could do with being remoulded as clips underneath are not intact and little crack on front (Cost approx 300) Tow cap is cracked (I have a replacement already it just needs painting Drivers side window has a scratch in it but functions correctly. This is a known fault that Toyota will be aware of (the runner & glass needs replacing) Usual cracking on edge of fibreglass, needs touchups (these are minor things that nobody notices but I know they are there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As above if you missed the price i'm looking for £14,000 though i'm open to offers. I'd prefer to just sell as is but if anyone wants a partout let me know I'm going to dump some old pics in until I can actually get around to washing & taking some up to date pics of the car.

Due to the market being so ludicrously shit and be being bored at looking at it and time wasting fuck nuggets i've part ex'd it along with my missus' shitty i20 for a MK8 Fiesta ST and some cash to pay the carloan off for my sex trail.

I've had the 25mm in the past though coupled with koni shocks. Was a nice fast road setup

£300 for a good job and yes the Blanco white is different, every white from the Blanco onwards is slightly different.

Going to split what I can off my 86 due to lack of interest as is so a list of bits that will be up for grabs! (I will genuinely get pics on the weekend, the car isn't where I live at the moment Admins please do not delete :D) All items are on the car unless stated brand new but it's not being driven at the moment. Full payment or 20% deposit I will take items off. Intec Rear lights (White): £250 TEIN Streetflex c/w EDFC Active Pro: £600

Bump! Supercharger sold BBK provisionally sold Supercharger purchaser is trading suspension so the TEIN's & EDFC should be off shortly If i ever get time to breathe.

The issue is I used to do 80% of the work on most events. Which i'm fine with but I haven't been around as of late due to simply barely having a life at the moment. With regards to beaulieu, I was PM'd about this and @VAD17 offered to take the reigns with it. As far as i'm concerned, the person who starts a thread should be the one arranging things. I thought this was the case with this event so nothing has been done. Kevin messaged me about Japfest and I asked him to discuss with Lauren as I wasn't going to be there. Though i'm not surprised Japfest parking didn't go to plan, nobody listens and leaves their cars wherever they want! The club does need some help organising events and if anyone wants to they can certainly put their names forward. I did ask in the survey I put out last if people would be interested, I pm'd those that put their names forward and for the most part the response was they couldn't be arsed or don't have the time. This does make me wonder why they offered in the first place but hey ho... @Deacon The system demoted you, you aren't actually demoted lol. @Test Drives Unlimited your comment is part of the reason why i've taken a step back as of late. A prime example that my efforts aren't appreciated by most. I've had thanks from many people over the years for organising events for the club, but them thanks come from the same people each year and they are the same people that are happy to help out. There is a huge chunk of people here that expect a load of stuff and really don't appreciate the time & efforts put in. But they are happy to complain when things don't happen. It's clear that as the club expands more help is needed, and i've asked before and got little response. @Leevsfortyone thanks for putting your name forward for helping it's appreciated. Feel free to drop me a PM so we can make the south great again

Bump, list updated! had interest on the Sprintex but so far a lot of wasted time. Brakes added (will hopefully get off this weekend as well as making a start on the suspension.) Sprintex is off and good to go.

It'd be an improvement over OEM, but better suited to a F/I application as that's what it was made for.

Bump Whoever it was that was after my Sprintex you're going to need to text me again as my phone broke on Friday. Charger is now off the car though.

New glovebox is a bit excessive. The quickest fix is to run a heat gun on it. It won't fix the scratch but it will turn the plastic the same colour as the non scratched areas. But i'd probably wipe it down as it could rub off if it's light. As you can feel it you will probably want to go the heat gun route.

@AJ124 in due course yes

Message box is probably full but I'm out ATM so CBA to sort it on my mobile drop me a text 07865398568

Certainly is, currently being taken off the car.

block the numbers, they will eventually become less and less. works for me.

Bump, price reduced to reflect parts taken off. Price will reduce as more is off

Bump, pics added for what's left apart from the TEIN's as they are still on the car and it's in an awkward place to get wheels off. Exhaust added, exhaust isn't as shiny as the pics Charger will be off the car in a few weeks so will be good to go.

I'm away unfortunately, have a good one though!

Updated what's been sold. I'd rather sell the TEIN kit all together but if no takers i'll think about splitting. Yes it has the GPS with it.

It's safe to say i've lost interest due to lack of time and needing to focus my funds elsewhere for the time being. A shame but the car is no fun when I can't do what I want to it lol.

@Falix as someone got there before you i'm giving them dibs pending pics. If they dont want ill let you know. @nikndel I got a pack of jelly babies? Top thread updated, couple bits sold and some provisionally sold pending collection.

For applying sealants with a DA you should use a finishing pad always. I tend to apply by hand with an applicator pad though. It's easier to get coverage in hard to get to places you would miss with a 150/160mm pad... You could get smaller pads but then you need to either have a second polisher or keep swapping the backing plate off. It then becomes a bit of a PITA especially considering the majority of sealants/waxes don't need working in they tend to work themselves in (If that makes sense) lol. There's nothing stopping you applying that poorboys product with a DA, though i've not used it. You wont cause any damage, get it and have a play I reckon.
