Octane Booster - Touring Europe info needed
Lauren replied to remal's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
Seriously I've driven thousands of miles around Europe in my car, you can get super unleaded everywhere. It's a complete non-issue, it's the same as it is here. -
Kind of told you what you already knew there, Nigel!
-
They certainly did work well! Was quite a challenge for me on the Primacys!
-
Just use your side mirrors to reverse, best way anyway.
-
No, not really, it depends upon how much water etc is on the rear screen. It can take 10 minutes to clear, but that is quite usual.
-
Blimey! The problem is why would anyone have a forward facing vent at the rear of the wing? There will be some drag and it has no purpose at all. I've got tbh,the only option is for him to do it the right way round. Sure they're just cosmetic and achieve nothing, but in their current guise, not only are they going to cause drag, they make no sense at all. As for cooling the brakes, that's just bonkers. Nobody would design something like this. The only front facing side vents I've seen are on mid engined cars.

You could have done lots of mods and still had a good enough warranty. Plenty of us have demonstrated that. Too late now. No LSD in the M135i unless you modify it.
-
Yes, we have to have the third brake light, but it doesn't have to be where it is. In a spoiler is fine as many cars are like that anyway.
-
It's an issue on the bigger square type speed humps for me dropped 20mm or so with a Milltek. Though I do wonder if it's the undertray on the box that's actually scraping over the exhaust.
-
It's actually a crosshead and flat blade screwdrive which is pretty much common to all Toyota tool kits since the 1980's and quite possibly before. There should be a compressor as well.
-
I'm guessing you haven't had the car long then? That's poor alignment, very surprised that it got through quality control. Just take it back to your dealer, get them to sort it.
-
Haven't seen anybody else have this issue. Clearly your door is not properly aligned, so it will need a visit to the bodyshop to sort it out and align it properly. Maybe it's a poor previous repair?
-
Interesting to see, there's always the US idea of mods, which I think differs from Japan. Not sure about those headlights that change colours! Notice they have logos that say, 'eighty-six' where it should say, 'eight-six' as the way to pronounce it. But, yes, not surprised there.
-
Don't worry about the figures, drive them, that's where it matters. They're all pretty similar really.
-
I'd definitely try a few options before you commit.
-
May be better just getting your initials. I don't think either work and unless you resort to illegal spacing it doesn't work.

Toyota's New Sports Car Will Sit Above GT86
Lauren replied to Captain Duff's topic in Non GT86/BRZ General Chat
It's not really going to be a 'Supra' as such though, don't think any Supra has cost £70K. -
I'd test drive all that is on offer tbh. I've driven the different stages of turbo conversions on offer and the superchargers too, not driven the Cossie one yet, but that should be rectified soon I hope. You always get lag with a turbo, but it is very well setup. They are very torquey lower down the rev range, which you will like. I preferred the Stage 1 turbo over the Stage 3. I found the latter a bit mental on the road. Of the SC setups, the HKS is my favourite and the HKS is my favourite overal when comparing the Sprintex SC and AVO Turbo. Depends what you want really. I like to rev the nuts off my engines, so I'm less interested in low down torque. I take it you've driven a GT86 with a turbo on it already?
-
Tbh I did worry about this. I really think it would have made more sense to simply buy a car with the leather and alcantara seats fitted. Would have saved you a lot of hassle. IMO I wouldn't have a daily without heated seats, I use them all the time, even in the summer if it's cool in the early morning. I hope you find a way to wire them up.
-
I'm just never sure about the front splitter on the Five Axis. It's almost like it makes the front end look higher off the ground. Will wait till I see it in the flesh to decide.

I guess all you can do is look. Thought it was all in the loom? Given the seats are fitted at the docks you'd think it must be there somewhere.
-
It'll never happen with this engine anyway. The engine would be hopeless for emissions for a start.
-
Just a concept with an outdated engine from what I can work out. There will be only one, Keith, so unless that one is automatic there won't be an auto option.
-
Having extensively driven every variation of MR2, the GT86 is easily quicker in every aspect than a MK3 MR2. To be fair the 1Z engine in the MK3 MR2 is dreadful. Still welcome aboard, enjoy the car.

Looking great in white I must say.
