Spotted, white Aero with Castrol livery, M6 South J15-11
Lowe posted a topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
Saw a couple of 86's today within seconds of one another. First was a black 63 plate turning off the A500 island, then as I got on to the M6 a lovely looking white Aero with green and red livery came by. Haven't seen another one in ages, then two come along at once. -
Is Lee's grey? I know what you mean - under 'normal' light it's a fairly bland colour and it just kinda blends in to the background. However if the sun's out, flake's out. The guy who did the detail for me likened the flake to a carriage on the Waltzers haha!

That was me last weekend when I picked the car up. Sun came out, set the flake off and three grown men just stood looking saying nothing for about 5 minutes.

Probably won't be that shiny on the day - that was from picking it up last week from the detailers place. It's my daily doing 80 miles plus there's the drive over on the day ... (Getting my excuses in now haha!)

Just getting my head around this - not really au fait with buying wheels... These are still the same size tyre as the original but the wheel is an inch wider yes? Sorry for the daft question, as I say I'm a bit of a noob!

Hi all, Just seen the new kit they're offering. 40mm drop, uses the standard shocks with Eibach springs, £235.95. Looks the business, is cheap so where's the catch - what am I missing?
-
Actually they've posted some info on here

Really like the idea of this, but I'm away on holiday until next month argh!

Blimey, just been looking through this and Ali Express and there's some cracking bargains - especially so as Ali Express is about to have a huge sale by the look of it. I'm considering picking up one of these as a start, can't really have too much go wrong with that surely? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Silicone-Induction-Hose-Kit-For-TOYOTA-GT86-Scion-FRS-BRZ-12-15/32794047559.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.247.S65CoU&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_5_10065_10130_10068_433_434_10136_10137_10138_10060_10062_10141_10056_10055_10054_10059_10531_10099_10530_10103_10102_10096_10052_10144_10053_10050_10107_10142_10051_10106_10143_10526_10529_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10110_10111_10112_10113_10114_130_10078_10079_10073_10070_10122_10123_10124-10531_10102,searchweb201603_9,afswitch_1,ppcSwitch_5,single_sort_0_default&btsid=3c4085cf-5b08-4a9e-b5a8-15472cd82872&algo_expid=30a32244-d57d-4b1f-82fe-1cea5da29146-30&algo_pvid=30a32244-d57d-4b1f-82fe-1cea5da29146 -
I know of a Subaru dealer that buys up private cars, went to look at it before getting my '86.

Lowe replied to ThatGuyThere's topic in Mechanical
They do a front pipe section as well by the look of it... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fit-For-2013-2016-Subaru-BRZ-Scion-FRS-GT86-Downpipe-Down-Pipe-Stainless-Steel-/161565849167 -
Also with things like 4 pot brakes etc, this might mean in a few years when they inevitably get potted through hedges etc we have a supply of upgrade parts

Yeah? Heard it can be a new fuel pump job :/

Mine's just started doing this, noticed it last night when stuck in a traffic jam. It's that loud I can hear it from inside the car with the windows up! Going to see if I can put up with it for now, haven't really got time available to take it in. I assume this doesn't actually hurt anything other than my ears?

Open Day Spring 2017 @ Tuning Developments 16/04
Lowe replied to Mike@TD.co.uk's topic in Tuning Developments
Ah gutted, I'll be on holiday Would have loved to come. Do another one in the summer too -
That's not too far from me but Sat mornings are a no go at the moment. Make it a Sunday next time and I'm there.

Just had a bit of a wobble on the M6, got passed an accident and the road cleared so gave it some in third. Went for fourth at 7k rpm just as I crossed into the outside lane and the offside rear lit up. Thank goodness for VSC, saved my bacon because I was NOT expecting that 😂
-
Ooh, will try that next time. Thank you
-
Yeah found it in the manual. Problem was, I couldn't actually get to the relevant menu, it just kept cycling through the trip meter. Then, about five minutes ago I found out about the ignition mode that doesn't start the engine 😂 Gear indicator now working, sorry for being a plonker 👍🏻

Having had my GT for very nearly a week, there's a few niggles I've noticed. Yes, three flashes has caught me out but I'm starting to adapt. The interior light seems to go out very quickly (imho), and I miss having 'get you to the door' foglights on locking the car. On an unrelated note, I'm sure on some other cars I (test) drove, there was a gear indicator on the screen, even with a manual - am I imagining that? My car doesn't seem to have it.

Hi all Just been guided over here by someone at Seat Cupra.net - selling my Ibiza and picking up my GT86 on Saturday. Looking forward to it, been a big fan of these cars since they were released and looking to learn all about RWD. Anyone live locally to me? Give me a flash and a thumbs up if you see me about!
