    tyres

    Yoko's but after your phone call with me the other day you seemed to be a bit disappointed by the wear on them. I reckon it was due to your tracking being out. I've got the Dunlop Sportmaxx RT on at the mo and they are sticky, can't really comment on wear on them thus far. Sportmaxx RT 2's are out now, could give them ago or the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3's No point going budget with tyres really, they could ultimately save your life.
  3. Ok these are all sorted, should receive them in a week or so. Will PM all shortly with how much they need to pay!

    Checking in...

    Welcome as will said, not an issue with pistonheads per-se but there does seem to be an awful lot of plonkers over there I've heard they tend to all stay in the same one sub-forum so 'tis not so bad.

    Snetterton Trackday April 27th

    Let them go @Test Drives Unlimited! Their cars are inferior to ours! Everyone knows the gt86's have far more fun
  14. The heated seats aren't on constantly, they turn on and off to keep the temperature at a norm. So you will feel them warm up and they will seem to have turned themselves off because they are up to temp. They should be warm within 30 secs though!

    @AJ124 May be able to help you out, if he gets his finger out
  20. This is the second LoT Trackday we have the pleasure of attending this year. Blyton is a bit of a favourite as not only is it part of the TSS every year, it's also a great technical. but short track for the GT86 & BRZ. On top of that, it's relatively cheap! The only prerequisite to joining up on these trackdays is that you are currently a Premium Member. If you sign up and aren't a Premium Member of the GT86 Drivers Club you will be refunded your money and your booking cancelled. Originally a WW2 airfield Blyton Park was for many years used for the odd grasstrack event, but new owners have breathed new life into the circuit. With new tarmac and plenty of grass and concrete run off Blyton is a deceptively fast and technical circuit, which can challenge experienced drivers, yet also provide a fun and safe first time out experience for novices. 1.6miles long, the track is fairly flat. Maybe the UK’s Abbeville. The day will run in open pit lane format. Directions: click here Length: 1.6 miles Noise limit: 105db static / 95db drive by 20m Format: Open Pit Lane Price: £125 Instruction: £25 Crash Helmets: £20 2nd Drivers: FREE You must bring a full driving licence which will be checked at sign on. Final instructions will be emailed out 3 days before the event In order to book on to this day click the following link: http://goo.gl/x8VJDE
  21. Luckily i've been able to secure us a nice little track here, some of you may remember that we joined up with LoT last year to offer some sensible and cheap trackdays to our Premium Members. We're doing the same this year as last year was such a success. The first day on the list is Anglesey, which is probably going to be favourable for those who are doing the TSS, it may give you a chance to familiarise yourself with parts of the circuit beforehand. The only prerequisite to joining up on these trackdays is that you are currently a Premium Member. If you sign up and aren't a Premium Member of the GT86 Drivers Club you will be refunded your money and your booking cancelled. Day is being run in Open Pit Lane format and suitable for all experience levels. Directions & Accommodation: HERE Length: 2.1 (GP) & 1.55 (coastal) miles Noise limit: 105db static Format: Open Pit Lane Price: £235 Instruction: £25 Crash Helmets: £20 2nd Driver: FREE (must sign on by 8.25am and attend first briefing at 8.30am. Must also be experienced track day driver and complete the sighting laps) You must bring a full driving licence which will be checked at sign on. Final instructions will be emailed out 3 days before the event. To book go to the following link: http://goo.gl/dqovnR

    Lauren's GT86 100K miles and onwards

    That awkward moment a car does a 1/4 mile quicker than your 0-60. But you're right @daidaiiro Lauren would give it a run for it's money because it won't be able to turn!

    Jap Day, Combe

    We looked at attending this event as a club, ultimately decided not to this year what with it being new and all that. We went to a new show before and it was dire. I'll leave it here though and add it to the calendar. I may go scope it out to see if it's worth considering for next year.
