That's an option... just wondered what others did. Thanks.

I'll be changing my front pads shortly... Will any old calliper rewind tool do the job? Just wondering as I don't have one and they vary in price so much. Cheers, Bob.

Wouldn't mind seeing a pic or two of that Alfa too. Welcome. Bob.

Hi all, Just got this little beauty. Cheers, Bob.

Hi Deacon, How do you join? Is it a club? Do you have link to a website?

I've done single lap, double lap and figure of eight. I normally do the Owen Motor club' s Graham Hill Sprint in June and the HSA one in October plus additional ad hoc ones if I'm free that weekend. when might I see other GT86s there?

Last night I did it on my phone and the logic of the question after I said I was not a premium member was flawed. It assumed I was. I've just done it again now on a PC using Chrome and had a different problem. I recorded it for you. See -

I found it impossible to complete. The survey question logic was flawed.

Stourbridge. I'm often up Lichfield way as I compete at Curborough.

I've spent hours today reading stuff on the forum. First thing to sort is a way of mounting my Galaxy 7 phone which I'll be using as a sat nav. I'll leave the car as it is for a few months while I'm getting used to it, but before next season I'll probably change air filter (maybe change some more on the induction side) and tyres. Haven't decided what tyres to get yet but on hill climbs with trees so close to the track the last thing you want is an exciting rear end. I'll also be looking at other ways of increasing power and throttle response without going forced induction and without spending a fortune. No real plans yet, it's early days :-)

I'd seen that, Deacon, and was going to come along as it's not far for me, but on that day I'm committed to a big family party in Birmingham. Next time though! Cheers, Bob.

Hi All, I haven't got a GT86 yet but am actively looking for one. I am interested in this car - http://tinyurl.com/zvndmww - a 2015 manual Giallo with leather seats and 19000 miles. All standard and with 18 inch wheels. Does anyone know this car? Does £19,400 sound OK? It's really come up a little too soon for me - ideally I wanted to get one mid November. Should I grab this now and SORN it till mid November or wait for another Giallo? Any advice much appreciated. Also, while I'm on I see there are two main GT86 forums - this one and the one at http://www.gt86ownersclub.co.uk/. You all obviously think this is the best one but what's the deal? Friendly rivalry? A breakaway thing? Confused. Cheers Bob. Blogging at http://www.beambreaking.wordpress.com

I bounce over curbs on track - am I right in thinking the 17s are better in this respect? Would 18s be more prone to being damaged or damaging the tyre?
-
Interesting. Why might 17s be better?

Good to hear :-) Not sure about upgrades. The MSA are introducing a new roadgoing class next year for series production cars in completely standard trim. If I get the impression there'll be a few others in this class, I might give that a go. Otherwise, I'll be looking at mods to get on terms (or close to) S2000s, Elises and the usual hot hatches.

Well I looked at quite a few cars and kept coming back to this one. Negotiated a good deal this afternoon and pick it up Thursday night. Can't wait! It's to replace a highly developed Elise. It won't be as quick but I'll be using it as a daily driver, taking it over to the continent and hillclimbing and sprinting it next year in the HSA Championship, so it will be far more practical and undoubtedly more reliable. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys and girls at meets and track days. Cheers, Bob. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
