I'd recommend the Nokian A3's over the D3's - they're the higher performance tyre.

Fantastic pictures!

Thank you!

Fitted the stock wheels with winter tyres on back on the car. Tyres are Nokian WRA3's which I've used before and found to be excellent.

Some extra engine bling to match the oil cap may be in order now indeed!

Fitted my hks oil cap today which was part of the prize package from Saturday kindly donated by hashiriya and hks. Couple of pictures below:-

Thank you!

Cheers Keith! I was pretty surprised to see you at Russ's too. And the noise as you arrived...

Lol! Hmmmm... I wonder...

Cheers. I wasn't at the hotel for too long as had to go and collect the girlfriend before the karting.

Finally, an up-to-date and actually clean picture of the car:-

Finally (for now) I had it lowered. I went to AST suspension and had a set of their lowering springs fitted. I went with a 25mm drop as it is my daily driver and I live in speed bump central so decided against the 35mm. The 35mm also have a greater need for various alignment products to be fitted too. Decided to go with the springs from AST as they are the closest to stock rate and I didn't want to make the ride much firmer than it already was. They are also pretty much the only offering which have different spring rates for the '86 and BRZ. Picture below just after fitting so I would expect them to settle a little more over the coming weeks:- Again, please excuse the state of the car!

Next up was sorting the exhaust and a drop in air filter. I went with a Cobra cat-back non-resonated system as part of the group buy. For the air filter I went with a HKS panel filter. Pics below (excuse the state of the car though!):-

Finally I settled on my wheels. I went for these:- They are stock size (17x7") but 8mm lower offset and a useful 2kg a wheel lighter. I kept the stock tyres as wanted to keep the cars character close to stock (for now). Picture just after they were fitted below:- I realise they wont be to most people's taste as due to the design with the spokes not running to the edge of the wheel they look smaller than 17's.

Next I had my car detailed by Russ at Midlands Car Care. Few pictures below:-

Just saying hello. Notice there's a lot of familiar faces here!Didn't realise this one existed until I read someone mentioning two uk forums over on the other forum.
