Remotely as in you got out for a fast sprint in the car while logging your car, then send that info to Adrian and he can tweak a map for you, he then emails that to you, you upload it to the car and go out for another spirited drive while logging your car. The you simply repeat the process, sent the results back and Adrian will tweak again until he's happy with your log.

No way, LordGrover!!!! How the devil's are you, remember chatting with you over on the owners forum but then nothing besides the comments on the pistonheads threads regarding the 86.

Yeah, it's my daily so no had it go flat on me yet but if I know I'm guna be leaving it for extended periods of time, I'd take it to Toyota and get them to replace it under warranty

Well, an official welcome then to the club! I agree with nothing really out there at the moment....not unless you had a lot more money which I don't.

Welcome to the club buddy, glad you could join us.

Welcome to the club! What have you done so far besides new wheels?

I have a feeling that you can't pay it off within a certain amount of months or something without incurring a charge of some sort, something along the lines of them wanting you to continue to pay it off bit by bit so they can charge interest, paying early would mean less money for them....but I could be wrong.

Did your car come with the newer revision battery or has it got the original specified battery? I'm sure there's a bulletin for people to get the old batteries changed out for the new type because of this issue.

Welcome to the club! Done much to your car at all or have any plans for mods? Already been on track with her aye? Where have you been so far?

It hammered down for a lil while on Wednesday but then it never settle and you wouldn't have guessed that it had snowed, the snow was pretty big and weirdly a lot of it was floating upwards

Why the sale Phil? What you getting instead?

FYI, Snett is typically 105dbs which is on the generous side compared to a lot of the other tracks........though last time I was there I got 108dbs but they still let me on because it was fairly wet and really foggy.

That's more like it, some nice leaning going on there [emoji16]

Whaaaaat, I thought you said I had some proper leaning action around one of the hair pins or something [emoji24]

Awesome pics Andy....but where are my action shots you promised me????!!!!!! Great chatting to you again though! And thanks Tom, that's my baby in yellow!

Wow, awesome work Ade and great chatting with you at Bedford, hope to catch up with you again sometime soon!

All I want to know is when Mark.....WHEN????

All the best Keith, hope you get well soon and hope to catch up soon too!

Mark, do you offer or have someone who could ceramic coat the manifold?

Congrats and welcome to the club Simon!

An amazing couple of days, a nice country sprint down to the hotel, a nice meal and natters with a fair few of us, surprisingly didn't sleep all that much which I usually don't have a problem with, might be because of a combination of excitement and sleeping with a complete stranger (not strangers anymore though ). The track was pretty good, lots of fast and very tight turns off high speed straights....so much so that I managed to loosen a port that leads into the driver side brake caliper smoke was pouring out and liquid leaking out, luckily Mark saw the weeping port and tightened it for me (thanks Mark) so hopefully it was just that cos it made a bit of a mess having brake fluid being span/flung around. Wouldn't want that giving up when doing 128mph on the back straight (which is the fastest I've been in my 86 to date). Felt like I was pushing the car pretty hard and did manage to over take a couple of cars but at the same time, I did let quite a few cars past but that's just so I know I'm not holding anyone up and I enjoy the chase. It was great seeing so many 86's/BRZ's out there, always good to see the same faces and some new ones too. Hope that we can all get together again and do more trackdays together.

Welcome to the club!

Cheers dude, yeah, luckily this was a very simple and straight forward section, surfacing the whole wheel would take me a lil while. You do much surfacing yourself?

As some of you may have known, shortly after purchasing my car, I wanted a new set of alloys, namely the Rota Grids but 3 years past and still no Rotas, instead, not too long ago I brought a set of JR3 Racing wheels for track use. While I was planning on purchasing the Rota wheels, I was also planning on designing a sticker for the spokes similar to what Volk Racing do with their wheels. Now since the JR3 wheels are of a very similar design, during a free afternoon at work, I thought I'd go out and do a bit of scanning....namely....my new wheels. As a lil practice and potential case study for the company, I scanned one of the wheels using our PolyWorks scanning software and produced a meshed model which I could then create curves to suit the design of the sticker/wheel that I need. Once I had the shape of the sticker I wanted, I then had to figure a way to flatten the part which I eventually figured out with the help of my colleagues (long story short, cross-sections every 1mm, create points at either end, export points and load the points back in but on a single plane, then just join dot to dot with a polyline). Now with the outline of the sticker flat, I could export that out 1:1 scale, into a drawing package to then add the club logo to and before sending it off to be cut out of vinyl. Sadly this was all done a couple of months back but due to the weather and busy weekends, I've not had the chance to clean the car to add these stickers, but thanks to William Locock who helped me clean my car (which was a right mission as the front wheels were caked in brake dust and a bitch to clean.....especially since I never sealed them and it's been soooo long since they were last cleaned) but it finally got cleaned yesterday, so this morning, I decided to take the wheels off to apply the stickers as well as swapping the wheels around as the rears are a bit low on tread. The only gripe I have was when I was picking the yellow from some samples that were sent to me, due to the pearlescent paint, there was no exact match and stupidly, I matched the colour by looking at the top half of the car (which is typically lighter due to the light) rather than the bottom half of the car which is typically darker so the stickers look like they don't match very well.....but ah well....still looks good to me.
