In my experience, those aerosol glue kits are ineffective at dealing with punctures (apart from slow ones). Anybody know if a spacesaver wheel is available, which will fit in the spare wheel well? If so - how much and from where?

Wanted front original number plate holder
stephen replied to Mark-in-Stoke's topic in Wanted GT86 / BRZ Cars and Parts
pm me your address and I'll send you my old one for the cost of the postage -
Looks OK but - - - does it do anything? I always get a problem with visibility - especially in the wet.
-
I get this as well - the combination of the rear demister and the front screen clear button (the one on the left) usually clears it - but I have to keep them on! Alternatively open window a little. I think other posters are right - it's caused by wet clothing.

Does this Pioneer steering wheel-fitted remote control work with the BRZ/GT86 Pioneer head unit? http://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/pioneer-cd-sr100-av-steering-wheel-remote-control.html?gclid=CJbL5Nf1_MICFUoCwwodi20A5A

Bit more information on the CD_SR100: From Amazon: "The CD-SR100 is compatible with most DEH, AVH, and MVH Pioneer receiver models that are remote-capable." But mine is AVIC-F840BT From USA supplier Crutchfield: "The CD-SR100 is for use with Pioneer's IP-Bus receivers (compatible receivers will have a "P" in the model number)." Mine doesn't have a "P" Somewhere else I read that it uses Bluetooth.

Yes - I've often been in a car with someone and had a chat - and not paid attention - - - I have learnt from your lesson - - -no offence intended! I will concentrate that bit more in the future. An accident like this can change your life, cost money, cost time, change your fortune!!! -

And lesson one should have been about paying more attention to road surfaces, not losing adhesion in a confined area, and concentrating on driving rather than milkshakes ffs! -

Very interesting - and a lesson for us all! When the car had finished being repaired, did you have to declare all the new extras fitted to the insurance company? -
Could you do a "How to..." guide for this? Particularly - how to connect the sensors, where to fit the instrument, electrics etc. As I think it would be a useful mod.

Or power socket in glovebox
-
Try heated seat switch in centre console

it's a white lead with blue ticking! Thanks for looking, though!

trying to hook up a couple of driving lamps ("spot lights"). Will run feed/earth from battery to a relay to be fitted near to left hand (nearside) headlamp - I have identified the multi plug on the lights (8 way) but unsure which is the main beam. I would guess at the blue one (or red on the right hand multi plug) - is this the right one? Anybody else fitted additional driving lamps? I am using http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ring-Automotive-BRL0542C-Microline-Rectangular/dp/B00BEI7898

Nice to see the Toyota GT86 winning the Performance Car section of the recent Daily Telegraph poll. I used to dream of getting a car like the GT86 - until I bought a BRZ!

Oil change - 3300mls Went to Halfords today for a first oil change. I know all the experts on here say it's easy - but I'd probably mess up the drive,and leave the filler cap off, spraying oil all over the engine, or something like that. So they charged £79 and used Fuchs Titan GT-1 0-20w oil and a Unipart filter. Oh - and they left the filler cap off, spraying oil all over the engine. I went back to them and they are now steam cleaning it. At their expense.

suspended from the bottom of the number plate box. I would have preferred to mount in the blank bits of the bumper each side of the numberplate box, but it's solid. I do a lot of night driving, and much of it on the continent, so feel the need for more light on the subject!
-
Anybody know whether roof bars are available for BRZ/GT86? Seen some in USA made by Yakima - not available here.
-
steering wheel satnav/audio control? So - is there one available? Being a newbie, I find the controls non-intuitive on the Pioneer AVIC-F840BT. And I don't like taking my eyes off the road and hand off the wheel to poke at a fiddly screen, or twiddle a silly little knob. Also - I usually have driving gloves on and they won't work the digital touch screen!

why not copy all the stuff to a |SD card?

Would look better with the Zunsport stainless steel mesh grill! -
How much was the oil cooler from fensport?

A new BRZ owner in Cambridge!

Thanks for the pix Will300. I'll probably go for a stainless one - it's cheaper, and if I don't like it I can always paint it - Blue, Black, whatever. I'm interested because last year I found out the hard way that it costs £800 to replace a condenser on a Vectra - mostly labour getting to it! damaged by a stone.
