I grew to like it #racecar

After buying mine, the first time it rained heavily I thought my roof was going to cave-in!

£10k budget or £20k budget?

Just be as gentle as you can when pulling the bumper off, and hope you're lucky. The tab furthest from the wheel arch seems to be the one that goes because there's very little to it. Mine all looked undamaged visually, but still sagged when re-fitted. I've seen people fit the metal reinforcements and it make next to no difference. See how it goes, you'll know as soon as you clip it back in if it's right or not and it shouldn't damage the paint if you then have to put it on and off a few times as you tweak. I'd send it to a skilled bodyshop who understand how to manipulate these things, and have them remove it and do whatever is required to make it fit perfectly.

Valve reliability for Track Ref:2012 Recall

Do the recall. Just use a dealership that has experience. -
Rota Titan 17x9 alloy wheels in flat black - with tyres
ThatGuyThere posted a topic in For Sale GT86 / BRZ Parts
Some curbing, no cracks or serious damage. Michelin PS3 tyres - two tyres are at the legal limit, two have a good bit of life left. Collection from Huddersfield preferred but could meet half-way if required. £500 -

Due to extreme slackness, 3 years later these are still for sale. Final bump before I put them on eBay. -
Cat-back exhaust system - Japanese M7 titanium exhaust
ThatGuyThere posted a topic in For Sale GT86 / BRZ Parts
Located in Huddersfield, collection preferred but could meet halfway if required. M7 titanium-tipped japanese-made exhaust - sounds amazing and beautifully crafted. There's a video of when it was first fitted to the car by a previous owner - it's done approx 15k miles total since. The middle pipe has had a resonator added to quieten it slightly. I had it fitted with no cats and although loud it wasn't too offensive. With standard cats/manifold I imagine it's a lot quieter too. No longer being made, so quite rare. £600 -

Cold start with aftermarket piping makes your neighbours hate you, and makes you regret not opting for it every morning!

BEWARE! Tuning Developments are scammers

I swapped to the focals and put some sound deadening sheets in the door at the same time. Difference was night and day. I would still like a little more volume occasionally but overall listening to music in the car is enjoyable. Standard head unit. I've got a decent stereo at home and in the past have had a subwoofer in my car. The focals give reasonable bass for what they are. Willson I think something is wrong - can you use the stereo settings to isolate one speaker at a time and make sure each is working correctly? " just about ok for spoken word radio " - there simply must be something wrong with your setup. This is wildly different to my experience!

The only one who said he was in contact with them is our forum/group admin, who has also gone silent after offering a lacklustre defence of the guy. Not a good look whatsoever, he's clearly checked-out of this place. -

@KevinA are you still in contact with them?! Think the time for patience is running out... -

There's enough evidence - both personal and documented in third-party reviews to justify the claim, further evidenced by TD not bothering to engage, and then lie further about shipping then lie about refunds. -
Top level of "Forums" index not working

Same here, although I've had it before with this site too. -

Wow, so lies upon lies followed by more lies. But don't worry and be patient, afterall some people have had good experiences, lol. -

So he knows about this thread and customer dissatisfaction, yet hasn't taken any time to resolve it. Piss poor. Admins defending this situation leaves a bad taste too. -

So common in this industry to be good people, but have near-zero ability to communicate. Just put prices up by 20% and hire an administrator. Problem is, so many proritise being the cheaper option as they enter the market, that they don't realise how difficult that makes it to grow beyond a one-man-band. -
I can still vividly remember how horrendous the puma knob was on frozen days. Loved that car!

Brodit passive mobile phone holder with tilt swivel for Apple iPhone 5, 5S and SE. model 511444 for the GT86 and BRZ
ThatGuyThere replied to ttjt16's topic in For Sale GT86 / BRZ Parts
Is an iPhone 5 itself even worth £17? -
It's under warranty so get it booked in, take the free courtesy car, pay nothing for the repair and have the repair work also covered by a warranty.

Feel you might have more luck on a USA forum - I'd worry about import duty being added personally.

It's a cheap car to run as with any other Toyota really, apart from somewhat lower MPG than you may expect (32 from mixed driving). Parts and servicing are cheap. As a daily, it's comfortable and reliable and easy to drive. Only potential con would be the speakers are shite - a £130 focal kit is well worth the money. Owned mine for 4 years. Hmu if you're wanting a red one.
