It doesn't look like it's got the leather/alcantara heated seats, so I would knock money off for that. As for value, it's hard for me to say as I bought my car new and still have it.

Well either of those two tuners mentioned can fit and supply a shorter final drive. Some say that there can be a little diff whine. It will make a reasonable difference as the final drive in the auto is a fair bit longer than the manual, so you would gain in acceleration and be closer to the manual in that respect.

In answer to some of your questions. 98 Ron fuel is what you need. V-Power Nitro is best. Tuning Developments in Warrington are not too far from you and can do the remap. Or there's Fensport in the Fens. Also consider a shorter final drive to bring the gearing down as the auto is a bit intergalactic, so will make the gearing similar to the manual.

Please post pics as per sales rules.

Welcome, Ben, no messing with making progress there! I reckon that exhaust will wake the neighbours up. You're just in time for the start of the whole season, so keep an eye on events and social meets to see what's going on closer to you.

It's not an available option on UK cars. But plenty of people have fitted reversing cameras to their cars, so your's will be one of those.

I was thinking, that Neal. As we head into spring an early morning drive makes more sense, as you say before the roads clog up. I think we encountered a great number of church goers this morning!

Thanks for organising the meet, Neal. Was really nice to see everyone and breakfast was great. What a nice way to start a Sunday. We were a bit unlucky with traffic, which seemed to thwart any opportunity to have a spirited drive, but the roads seemed particularly busy today.

You can get them from the club shop. Rob does a run now and again on different colours than those listed. See the club store.

LOL, they did indeed. My exit speed from the M56 Airport slip road (it's a fantastic piece of road that would be the stuff of legend on any circuit!) ensured that I could do a big stop by the time I got to the lights!

In that case Eggs Benedict x2 please.

Good to see you Joe. Unfortunately due to my time constraints I didn't have time for a wash and valet. Still I got to Birkenhead in an hour with only five minutes to spare!

I'd add that the V105 is great on the track too. I haven't tried the PS4, but two weeks ago at Oulton, I had no problem passing pretty much everything I encountered. They work well as a daily tyre on the road too. As for wear, I get 7K out of the rears and 21K or so out of the fronts. But I do play with the rear end a lot so I would expect most to get far more out of the rears than I do.

Yeah, they've been good to be fair. Had them on for 32,000 miles, two sprint seasons a few track days and a trip round the Alps and back. They're totally dead after the last track day I did at Oulton two weeks ago, but I suspect the pad is getting a bit thin on material. So I'm sticking on some new discs and pads tomorrow morning, Project Mu HC800 pads this time. Will see how I get on.

Though it was a good engine, it was in a dull chassis unfortunately. Never got good reviews really.

Full English for me, bacon butty for Mark please. Maybe a bit of sausage for Indy.

Good news on the wheels. As you know I never liked the chrome. At least with a powder coat they don't seem to get affected by salt or brake dust, so it makes them dead easy to clean.

I can't see the wheels. Go for a brighter colour.

Mediocre at best, though the Gen7 Celica was alright. The MK1 and MK3 MR2 handled well with the MK3 being good. The AE86 is of course the legendary Toyota from the 80's as it's the one that did all the motorsport. There is the GT4 too which had some WRC success until the whole cheating debacle. The MK1 MR2 has it's flaws, though not as much as the MK2. The AE82, AE92 and AE101, never set the world alight and none have the accolades of say the Golf GTI, 205 or EK9 from later years. So Toyota are very thin on the ground when it comes to good hot hatches historically.

Ah yes, I stand corrected.

I see no mention of an LSD. Toyota will have to make this car handle for it to be successful. They don't have a brilliant history when it comes to hot hatches. Let's hope they get this right.

Welcome aboard, very nice. Check out the events section and social meets section, things are getting busier as we head into spring.

Welcome aboard. Take the Primacy tyre on track it's fine. In fact it's a lot of fun after they are up to temperature and beyond which seems to occur at around lap three or four, depending on the circuit. You can really play with it and every hairpin is an opportunity to drift. They take the abuse really well. I would recommend taking them on track and getting used to how they are before you change them. Just one thing, if you do fancy coming sprinting, PS4's are a no go as they are not on the list. This seems to be what a lot of people are fitting these days.

Oh it does it loads, at least for the first time you do it, then it seems not to do it so much. I tend to pay little attention to it, when driving on track.

I really liked, it but then I had no big issues with the last series. I also watch the TGT and I like that too. It's about cars, what's not to like? I too thought the scripted bits tried to force the chemistry between the presenters as there is aleady it seems a sort of galvanising of the character that Harris is, or will become. For the most part it worked though, sometimes it didn't. I thought the content was good and the road trip was good fun as it wasn't overly contrived. The Star coming on for a chat, doesn't interest me and never has.
