Item acquired. You can lock this if that's appropriate Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Has anyone got a set of black mirror covers for a gt86 they'd be willing to part with. Not after the unit, just the cover itself. Thanks, Nic Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

I'd be up for that if there are enough takers Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Don't have a link or anything but you can Google it. In a nutshell - buy 2 or more Michelin tyres between April 2019 and may 2019 and claim free dashcam. Just thought I'd post this haha. Deciding if I should go for it myself as I'm going for a tyre upgrade anyway Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Yeah thanks for the support. I am waiting for my own garage and just waiting for the work to get approved but it's such a headache. I just got my courtesy car yesterday for the gt86 and was given a Mercedes gle - which is well not my style of car but it'll do as it's comfy! Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

UPDATE: Toyota Auris - taken the car to a bodyshop for estimation of price and this should be booked in for repairs by the end of the week which will be claimed for the third party who hit me. Toyota GT86 - the van man who hit me; his representatives called me saying he has accepted liability. I asked for some clarity and the representative informed me that based on his account of events, he is liable for the accident and he has been informed of this. In both instances, the end result will be a no fault claim on the Auris and GT86. Sort of just waiting around now for the garage to come back to me with a quote for the work before I send this off to my insurer for approval. Looks unlikely I'll have the work started until the next of next month as he is going on holiday when schools go on Easter break. My alternative is to go with another garage but it has been recommended that this guy is trustworthy so I'd rather wait a little longer than go to a random body shop and get a bad job. Decisions.

Hey nerdstrike, Took the car to a mates garage who had a look and reckons there isn't any mechanical damage. By the looks of it, the door will need replacing, front quarter and rear quarter panel. Estimated it to be £3-4k and it's someone I trust so I'm inclined to send the quote over to Admiral and if approved, I may get them to do the work. Fella reckons the bushes may need replacing and re-do the tracking but it'll be better than going to one of those approved garages so let's see. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Update: I got hit by another van in my daily just now. A Toyota auris. I cannot believe this. This time the driver admitted liability straight away and we are going to try sort it out away from insurance. Anyways with regard to the GT86; I've opened a claim and will have to pay £850 excess which admiral will claim back if it's found to be a non-fault claim which it should be along with the witness statement. Admiral has asked me to take the car to one of their approved garages which frankly has poor reviews (dws bodywork). I've asked them for alternatives and have the option to get quotes from alternative places but the quotes will be have to be approved by Admiral before any work can be approved. It does seem likely that it will be a non-fault claim because it really should be and if my account can be proven with the witness statement, things should check out ok. I'm considering going to Jemca Toyota for a quote but I know it is likely that the cost of repair will be too expensive but I will give it a shot. If anyone else has any recommendations in and around the London area, feel free to input. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

@ollyw didn't take out motor legal cover. Never had an accident and never thought I would! But thanks for this. @potato goose thanks for the essay, I really need all the advice I can get. As mentioned the driver has said to me he didn't see it even if it was blatant and my partner isn't worried that I would win the case as a non-fault claim. @lauren the car still drives straight, I did have a feeling he might have knocked my balance out. Could definitely feel something with the accelerator pedal though it could just be me and you know how these cars are - very mechanical but in a good way. I noticed when I hard steered left to park, it feel noticeably stiffer. Will have another look today and make the claim Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Van was insured. Took details. Name, address and stuff. Yeah it's a load of crap. If it does get written off, I'll be losing probably £3-4000 on it. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

I was thinking of going UEL on the TD na package then upgrade after to the harrop. I don't drive enough at the highest revs to justify El and definitely not using it on track Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Tell you what mate, I'm in South East London and in about 4 years I've only seen about 4 or so different gt86 in the area. And yours isn't one of them! Haha where abouts in South East are you Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

I've got a dmx7017 which I pulled out from a civic a sold previously - got lazy about fitting it. Thought I could live with gap on the sides til I installed it lol. Bought the £10 ones, see how they get on. Found it from another seller though. Agreed that the price is extortion for bits of plastic. I used the brackets from the OEM unit and made them work lol Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Yeah it seems absurd 30 odd quid for abit of plastic lol. Is the £10.99 one anygood Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

depends who you are selling to and how long youre planning to keep it. getting it serviced by tuning devlopments or any other reputable tuner would be an indication that the car has been modded (even if it hasn't been). if youre planning to rid it at some time and want the most money, take it to toyota is what i would say

How comes the manifold had to be removed when going turbo? Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Alittle off topic here but - I've seen lots of recommendation to go EL when going supercharger. Any particular reason why this is? Anything wrong with going UEL? Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

How long have you had the resonated TD exhaust on for Lauren? Shopping around ATM, thinking about this or the cobra! Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Do you have aftermarket fascia for double din? Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Hey guys, I've provided the following link - https://www.driftworks.com/rota-grid-17-in-flat-black-17x8-5x100-et42.html looking at this set of rotas but dont actually know much about offsets and so forth and find it awfully confusing. anyways, my car is currently stock and im after something slightly thicker (hence the 8") and thought these look pretty nice. will these be a suitable straight swap; i am currently on stock suspension. also, is this a reputable brand of alloy to buy from? any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers mate. Know where I'm going with this now haha. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

@MartinT what are size of your tyres for this alloy?

Those look tidy as hell lol. Makes stock look silly as anything lol. Bookmarked the Japan racing wheels linked by will. Time to save ! Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk
