Almost two years on, and I only just read your response Jim! I don't use the forum as often as I would like, and my notification settings weren't quite right.

Jim - was your GT86 at Abbey two weeks ago? I had mine in for a Harrop SC fitting and tuning. Nice to see another one in white and in Chelmsford!

Is anyone going to this - I was about to book tickets... Tunerfest South - Brands Hatch - Sunday, June 19, 2022

I have since decided not to go for this, so it's now available to the next person in the chain! Thanks. Phil.

Yes I’m still in, and first in line I think.

I am interested!

So I just brought this gauge from @Stutopia and fitted it with ease. I'm trying to do a factory reset but the manual from http://www.p3gauges.com/v3-install/ doesn't quite tally. I am wondering if the one I have is v2, in which case does anyone have the manual or link to the v2 version? Lastly, does anyone know the difference between v2 and v3? Thanks.

Option 1 - try and fit them myself... https://www.eibachshop.co.uk/eibach-prokit-performance-spring-kit-e10820430122_p31223898.htm Option 2 - get fitted professionally... https://www.eibachshop.co.uk/eibach-prostreets-ride-height-adjustable-coilovers-pss65820430122_p31224265.htm Advice/opinions please?

Spotted in Sainsbury's car park yesterday, very nice indeed! - anyone on here?

Just wondering who is responsible for the gt86.org.uk configuration and hosting. No matter what I do, all forum emails go to spam (I use Google Workspace). There are some improvements that can be made such as DKIM entries in DNS. I would be happy to lend some assistance having some experience in this field.

Whitelisting (email addresses) doesn't work anymore, spam is detected through other factors such as originating IP and path taken. gt86.org.uk is on a "blacklist" which you can see here - this may or may not be the reason for email going into spam. https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=blacklist%3agt86.org.uk&run=toolpage Sounds like you don't need the help, no worries at all - just a friendly offer of help.

Would love to come but have a full house with the kids and some commitments this weekend - it's a 90 minute drive for me. Take and post some photos please!

Mark and I have been chatting for a few months now as I have given him a verbal commitment for this SC. Unfortunately, Harrop are having stock issues and an ETA is not available. I am gutted and considering the HKS SC but everything I am told (primarily through Mark) is that it is quite different and the Harrop sounds like what I'm after - consistent improved torque through the revs, without any lag or surge (as is the case with a TC). If anyone at all has any comments or suggestions; hidden stock of the TVS1320, re-consideration of the HKS, alternate SC options, or any general thoughts - I would appreciate hearing them. Have really been looking forward to driving my boosted GT86 this summer! (with or without lockdown!).

...I'm off to check out Carista! Always nice to tinker with new tech!

The garage I bought my wheels from were going to swap the sensors over without asking, so I stopped them and they fitted OEM and matched the RF frequency. Now I can pop the old set back on (haven't had a need to yet) all by myself. Had no issues with the OEM RF sensors, had the wheels for almost two years. ...except when I park too close to the old wheels and the car picks up both sets and gets confused, as soon as I drive away, all OK. I shuddered when you sad "cheap ones" for tyres - it's the only part that keeps you on the ground and where you want to head! I chose Michelin Pilot Sport 4 which are superb in the dry and wet, I can still "slide", but I have control and feeling over the car.

I have them as well. Bought one year ago from eBay UK. They have color-faded slightly which is not cool.

Sorry about the sale (I would be gutted if I sold my GT86). I'll take it, will want it shipped to Chelmsford (Essex) - how do we move forward?

Could be interested. What's the history and reason for sale?

I'm in for any numbers of days and can "man" for one of them (preference depends on which events I may wish to attend). Does anyone know about accommodation? Or, should we expect to drive off then on overnight? (I have family that is close). VIP tickets looks tempting - is that for one day or the whole event?

We have fond memories of hanging out there - do you remember wanting to fix my shredded alloys Nik?

I was recently thinking about the next meetup - this post is well received and I am in for any of those. How about the Museum of Power (Car and Coffee) as a warm up?

Hey all, So I am returning to the thought of getting a GPS tracker fitted. I bought an inexpensive Chinese tracker a while ago, SIM card requirement with SMS alerts - which is hard wired and never figured out how to fit all the wires and locate the tracker and GPS transmitter. Then I looked at ReWire and iTrack which have an easy connection to the main battery, but figured it's obvious and easy to remove upon opening the bonnet - they also do hard wire, but I'm back to getting it fitted properly (they charge £100+). Both companies have subscriptions at £5+ per month for the app and detailed tracking. But I would be happy with something functional (alerts based on movement and GEO fencing) I don't need remote immobilisation and all the app features. I'm also not doing this for insurance purposes, which should be obvious. So I think what I'm asking for is any recommendations for someone or a garage to hard wire fit a GPS tracker in Essex!? Or, clear instructions from someone who has done it on a GT86. As always, thanks... Phil.

Driving to the south coast on the A3 at the weekend following a black Ferrari and we were both overtaken by an unidentified track car which accelerated very quickly when turning off. Since examining my dashcam footage I managed to identify it as the Mexican VUHL 05 track (but road legal) car. Brochure uploaded. Never heard of this, but I'm sure some of you have, stunning specs (courtesy of Wikipedia): The body of the car is made of reinforced RTM plastic, with carbon fiber as an option, mounted on a subsidized aluminium chassis (aluminium honeycomb with 6061-T6 aluminium extrusions). It has a 240-hp 2,000 cc four-cylinder engine, with an option of 285 HP similar to the previous one but with an optimized induction system and re-calibrated ECU. It is at a distance of 110 millimetres (4.3 in) from the ground and its static weight distribution is 37% at the front and 63% at the back. With the 285 HP engine it reaches a maximum speed of 245 kilometres per hour (152 mph) and accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds. It also achieves a braking of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) to 0 in 31.6 meters (104 ft), thanks to perforated front brake discs 310 millimetres (12 in) and ventilated 280 millimetres (11 in) brake discs in the rear. Prices look to be from £60k so one might have to go on my wish list enquiries to https://www.bespokeperformance.co.uk/ Watching a view YouTube videos, this one is one of the more informative: VUHL_05_BROCHURE.pdf

I've been looking to replace my stock wheels for sometime. Everytime I do research I'm getting confused in the options. I'll just post my questions! (thanks) Where to buy them from? wheelbasealloys.com for example What size are my stock wheels? 17/?? Can I fit 18" wheels as I'm reading there could be restrictions I'm undecided on colour and considering dark/black, but probably not gloss I'm undecided on spoke pattern, but want them to fit the style of the car If I buy the wheels and tyres from the same place, will they assemble and balance them? Is there anything I should be aware of when fitting them to my car? Which brand? Are Konig OK What I do know is: I want Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres I want wheels with a circular ring (red, or yellow) like http://s2.photobucket.com/user/Deacon666/media/20130702_182848_Hagrid_Film.jpg.html I want wheels to look more flush to the car (wider, or offset) My budget is £400-800 not including tyres I don't intend to lower or camber (unless really advised) This is for daily driving with a little track use through the year Thanks so much!

Thanks for everyone's responses. I took a trip to Rochford Tyres and ordered a set of Rota GTM. Wife put on her credit card! Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk
