    Newbie from Kent with an Orange GT86

    Welcome Great colour choice! Think I already mentioned that on your facebook post on the group page? I was the same and was set on pearl white when I started. Then one in orange came up at a good deal in the ideal spec, plus the colour is completely different in real life and I loved it

    Brake pressure bleeder

    I looked into various ones of these and the conclusion was that with the type of cap the GT86 uses they are a pain. I just use an easi-bleed/the old fashioned method to be safe

    Northamptonshire Newbie

    Welcome aboard, car looks great I keep meaning to look into mud guards myself. Wider wheels means mine is taking a hammering on the sides etc from stones

    Saw my first Supra today

    Indeed I am rocking an old GV12 GT86 press slut as my car The look of these is growing on me. Looks good in white above ^^ think they are a car that will look better in person then the pics. Need to keep my eyes peeled for one... By all accounts they appear to be reviewed well by people. If the half BMW bit doesn't bother you then they seem to be a good bet
  11. Visiting Nottingham this weekend with a couple of friends. Anyone recommend any good venues, pubs etc?? Particularly need to find somewhere to watch the champions league final good curry would go down well too.. we are staying in the city centre some somewhere around there 😀

    Torque settings - changing discs and pads

    If not Halfords I have also had good experience with a clarks one. Comes in a nice case and I keep it in the boot so it is always to hand for torqing wheel bolts on trackdays etc Especially important to get the correct torque on calliper carrier bolts etc as they are very easy to strip if you go too gun hoe! I learnt that in the past on a previous car at my expense Nice easy job on the 86 and have a bolt to hand (think its M10) to screw into the hole on the brake disk. Pops it off nice and easy then rather then having the hammer it off the hub...

    BBK Options

    Interesting topic with some good info. From my searching over that last few months I had settled on the K-Sport 330mm kit. Anyone know of any bias information for this kit? One thing I haven't found much info on. People who track the setup don't seem to have any complaints on the feel but would be interesting to know.

    Finally got around to first wax

    Might have to try some bathe+ need to order something new as I am down to the last of my Chemical guys shampoo

    Finally got around to first wax

    If clay barred it wouldn't have needed further decontaminating anyway unless suffering from baked on brake dust of anything really? Before I gave mine a full correction with a DA polisher I found a glaze did offer a good amount of filling for hiding swirls etc so usually worth adding if working by hand I am not familiar with the gyeon range is the bathe+ something that wash and waxes?
