Bit of an advert, this one from Toyota another Toyota one

Its just struck me what it reminds me of with that big wing at the back Get it painted Green Rich

Yeah he had a group buy going on Dan's Forum at £60 a set, seemed reasonable so I got a set

You've not been tempted then to clean that green gunk off the engine? Thats one of the few bits of my car I did wash

Just found this vid we took of Ross (forpster) in his RX-8 in the snow in the car-park at work in 2010 (My old T-Sport bottom of screen at the beginning) Ok he was playing to the crowd a bit, but this can happen to you as well without the right tyres, do you want to look like a pillock and have to drive like a granny?

Glad you had fun and no incidents this time, let me know when you have the video and I'll give you a bell and talk you through how to upload to youtube Alec

All that mucking about and you don't even listen to the radio You Keith are a fashion victim !

You need to complain to your local council and get them to stop building straight flat roads

If anyone is putting photos somewhere external and wants a club logo to stick in the corner of the image I have dropped a range of sizes in black and white in this gallery http://www.gt86.org.uk/forums/?app=gallery&module=gallery&controller=browse&album=19 and in facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/278484378954818/files/ The full size ones are nearly 2000 pixels wide, the other numbered ones are a % of this size e.g. the 50 ones are about 1000 pixels wide, 25 are approx 500 etc. Right click on the one you want and select "save as" and make sure the type is still png, these should have the background as transparent so you can copy and paste them on top of photos in most editing software then just save the new combined photo If you need editing software you can use the Gimp (no really !) http://www.gimp.org/ This is availabe for windows totally free and is very powerful (although a bit daunting for first use) If there's a need, I can probably put together a how-to showing how to use gimp to slap a logo on a photo Alec

Was talking to someone yesterday about the rear lens condensation issue and I mention I'd seen a TSB somewhere. It was on the US FT86 forum here http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21868 It has links to pdf versions of the TSBs, which include how to check if you have the issue and how to fix it. So if you think you have one of these issues worth downloading and printing it out before going down to your dealer Alec

Are you chaps still meeting up at 845 as I was planning on joining you at George Rhodes, as I have to drive down to Congleton anyway Alec

Like that photo, so I've updated Ian's google map entry with it http://goo.gl/maps/z17hj Alec

Don't bother getting me one Mark, I'll just have the money for more petrol Alec

I had a sneak preview after Rich's guys put some winter tyres on the Wife's bus for me Alec

Don't get excited, we take a break from wrenching to travel down to Arizona where Toni from FA20Club was flown-in to tune naturally aspirated, Innovate and Vortech Supercharged FR-S and BRZ. Fuel, tuning and heat clearly dictated the success of modifying this car. We interview Toni the owner of FA20Club along with Vortech owner and Innovate Owners. Average NA cars were making roughly 165HP after tune with some exhaust and intake modifications. The non-intercooled Innovate kit struggled on 91 Octane. Power topped at 191HP because of heat/stability issues. On E85 Innovate kits made 228 HP. The Vortech car on smaller pulley, port injectors and larger in tank pump made 306HP to top highest numbers of the day on E-85 but had some drivability issues to sort out.

OK another vid thread, this one for modification videos rather than reviews, comments before the vids are the descriptions from youtube to give an idea of what the vid covers Vortech Supercharger Americanizing the FR-S kicks off with the installation of the Vortech Supercharger and Perrin tune. We take the viewer through the installation of a header back exhaust and Vortech Supercharger and and all the drama involved. We follow it all up with dyno results.

AP Racing Brake Kit We review and install the Essex AP Racing Sprint Kit for the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ with a special guest. This is by far the most impressive and useful kit on the market. Designed specifically for the FRS/BRZ, we show viewers how to install and the benefits of the kit.

Which bit is it that has the most effect on the torque dip ? Or do you need the lot ? Alec

Is it going to be ready for Saturday? Alec

I got £2500 for my Tsport 190 bhp version, one owner (but it was me!) with a full Toyota service history (Toyota in NOtts offered £1850), 2004 80k miles, so I would guess less than a grand, doesn't mean I'm right, just a guess. Alec

Thats one of the reasons that drove me to the 16's along with keeping my OEMs salt free Alec

Yeah I had it do what Rob mentioned, tried to wind it down to reset it and it got stuck fully open, wish I'd just left it stuck the one inch down as I had to drive to work in subzero temps with the drivers window fully open. Once the temp warmed up a bit then it started working again and i could shut it but it was a cold drive (thank god it was just from the B&B to work rather than all the way across the Peaks) Alec

Sorry Tim can't do the Saturday now as another family event has been arranged on that day, I could do the Saturday before or after, or a Sunday if I get someone to take my eldest to football, woud like to go still if re-arranged but I understand that might not fit with others plans Alec

This is what my Scoobie Alloys look like, Gold with Silver, Classy!

Were you definitely signed in, I find quite often that I'm not Alec
