research and development costs a fortune, even at the current prices they will probably have to sell a hell of a lot of kits to recover the costs.

We had a tour round the factory and I personally think that for the engineering involved the Cosworth kit is worth every penny, yes it's more expensive but its a proper engineering company that ruled Formula 1 for decades that have designed it. As an engineer myself I understand the costs involved in doing stuff like this properly and they have done an incredible amount of development and proving work. If I won the lottery my 2nd GT86 would have the Cosworth kit

Rob just posted a link to this http://www.cosworth.com/media/452766/Cosworth%20FA20%20Power%20Packages.pdf £7k gets you the stage 2.3 Cosworth supercharger kit with 280hp better than a TRD ! http://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-driven/cosworth-gt86-driven/32231

If you live in Stockport Rich at RRG Macc will fit your aftermarket parts for you, he will also warranty them, he's Riceburner on here There are a whole bunch of us around the Manchester area if you want to see a few options of what others have had done to their cars And if you are able, get to Oulton Park tomorrow, as there will be a whole bunch of us there Alec

Save the money and spend it on the upgrades you want, £7k would mean the worlds your lobster ! My car is still bog standard and its an absolute hoot on track Get used to it as standard then decide what to spend your £7k on, (you can probably buy a set of leather seats 2nd hand and bolt them in yourself)

The Manchester contingent are probably going http://www.gt86.org.uk/forums/topic/2634-north-tunerfest-oulton-park-11-july-2015/ http://north.tunerfest.co.uk/whatson/car-club-zones/

I could be cruel and say that the normal view of your car is parked up in a garage ! Hope you get your auto box sorted soon Alec

We've got a cat called Trevor Brooking

I think we have a slight factor of a 1000 error there, or a sticky m key

I'm in Macc as well, I got the first 86 from RRG, will be going to the club trackday at Blyton on the 30th if you want to come along, but will probably be setting off that morning at 5am to get there Alec

Oh No not another one ! And near me as well Keith as they are about one third your age I think they'll just become "Junior"

Good panorama pic Anthony Nunn posted on Facebook

Brakes are too pricey for me (was thinking I could paint the calipers properly already have a spare set of disks and pads), still interested in shocks Alec
-
I'd be interested in the shocks and brake parts Mikhail Alec

Remember to check the club calendar for upcoming events, 16th JapFest 30th Blyton Park this month. Welcome to the club and enjoy the 86 Alec

If you leave all the electronics on then the car is easy for FWD drivers to drive, my Wife has never had a RWD car and has had zero issues with the GT86 in nearly 3 years of ownership (and she has driven it in the snow in Winter, as I had winter tyres when her Ford Galaxy didn't) Alec

GT86Jay's HKS Version 2 Supercharger Install / Mod Thread

God that stuff is expensive, $265 for a tin! How much do you get in a tin ? Alec -
Yep, that's what I do, 2 lumps of wood to drive onto then my trolley jack will fit under, proper option for this is as Steve suggested, ramps, caravan levelling ramps are cheaper as he said Alec

Upside down logo miles still count, get the 1000 finished Toni and start ragging it ! Alec
