I’ll have a rake through my daughters toy box first. Thanks for tip [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, enjoy your brz! What colour did you go for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks very much. Yes yellow is the boldest but I just loved it when I saw it especially with the side decals in black. It certainly divides opinion! Yes the speakers are offensively bad quality and the Focal set will be my first mod. Funny you mention the difference between driving this and a German car. I had it that back step out earlier on a wet motorway slip road and it was so refreshingly different. I’ll give the cruise another try but suspect it to be faulty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi everyone. I have just put a deposit on a 3 year old gt86 I should be picking it up by the end of January. This will be my first ever Japanese car and an early 40th birthday present for myself. I've generally only owned German cars but wanted something a bit less sterile. Some of my family and friends don't understand it but what do they know? I moved house in the summer and have a garage now so have been getting it ready my new arrival. Then I'm going to spend some time detailing it so will no doubt be asking for some advice of how best to clean and protect the leather seats (which I think are synthetic). I'm based in Wokingham, Berkshire so will be keeping an eye out for some local cars. Will post some pics once it is here.

The Focals sound like a no brainer as a staring point. Thanks for the advice and warm welcome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Paul. I’ll keep an eye for you... I should be fairly conspicuous in yellow so you’ll probably see me coming. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

£3k is a bit out of reach for me. I want to keep the price and the weight down so may start of with a better head unit and some of focal speakers that are recommended in here. The alpine head unit sounds tempting [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My current car is black and it looks amazing for about 10 minutes after I detail it but always seems to be dirty. This time I was adamant that I wasn’t going for black! It is hard to beat when clean though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I looked at loads of pics and vids. I went down to a dealer that had a few in different colours (the only one they didn’t have was white). It was helpful to see them in the metal. All the colours look pretty good. IMO the silver is a bit bland but still looks nice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cool, I really like the grey. I was going to go for a 12 or 62 plate and ended up going over budget because I saw this one at the dealer and had to have it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Kevin! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I’d be interested to know what system you went for. I want something that fits into the standard speaker placements. I guess an amp would be required too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ps what colour have you got in mind? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Martin. I went to look at a blue one at The dealership and they had a Giallo there and I fell in love with it. I normally go for dark colours! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Deacon. Going to keep it mechanically standard for now. I’ll probably look to do a hifi upgrade thinking of retrofit JBL. Also a centre armrest looks like a good shout. Maybe I’ll look at some different rear lights but they look pricey (I’ve gone over budget to buy it). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
