drove it gentle for 300 miles, at the moment slowly giving it more, but i must say im not gentle on the breaks which be why it isnt squeaking much possibly that will be the faimly of mice under the bonnet, may want to call the exterminators

apart from the top mount and the rear shocks having a different body i couldnt see much difference. So rob, that brings me to my next question Which spring rates are better? i can handle harsh rides had classic minis! il be doing mainly street driving with the odd track and drift day. Dont think il go for the edfc as i dont think il use it enough. For the sake of £300 is it worth saving for the street flex?

i hear alot of people going on about squeeling pads, i have a 14 plate and done nearly 600 miles and no signs of squeeks or squeels yet? maybe they changed the compounds slightly for newer cars?

looks nice, guessing you can go lower than that if you wanted? the wheels go with the strip nicely also whats the main difference between the advance and the flex? apart from a few hundred quid! seen the flex for around £1044 and the advance for around £700 that sound about right?

Saw either a black or Dark grey 86 this morining around 9. was on carter lane. Only saw it for a split second as just dropped the gf off at work haha I was in a white one with toe down if you didnt see/hear me haha Anyone one on here?

They arent too bad, i think what lauren meant was the Reds, Oranges, Lime Greens and Whites!! Bright colours are a big no, i know too many people in their corsa vxrs and fiesta st's haha Still looking at darker greys but will be shiny, maybe a metallic shine in there Hmmm dont tease me haha, i think the main difference will be how they drive, im leaning more towards the charger due to its low down grunt and being more usable, but then i like how the turbo kicks in as its quite similiar to how it is now, when you reach higher revs it picks up another gear. Of course il have a nosey round but i will be doing cosmetics first coilovers and alloys before charger as im happy with the power at the moment

no thank you, i like my car looking smart, subtle mods im not the lairy sort of guy not sure yet, been looking at the tein coilovers or possibly HSD Not be yet as need to save some cash up :'( I must say so far this forum seems a lot friendlier. and cant wait to meet you all at some point hopefully most of you at cosworth

Awesome, i presume your coming in the 86? as its a fa20 only event. Least i will be able to find you, thats the hardest part of meeting people for the first time, as alot of the cars are quite similar

yh not seen many white ones, there was a repaired one the other day but got snapped up. White gt86 owners look after their cars you see only jokin buddy

If i knew you needed another front bumper, i just sold a black one on ebay for £100 :/ sorry pal. Got a rear still lmao but its been cut for the trd exhaust trim

ahh yes, didnt know that i am going to the cosworth open day so will meet anyone thats on here who is going was hoping to go to the gt86 oulton park but nope haha il keep my eyes on there and see whats coming up. cheers nikdel im sure theres everything i need on here and will try contribute where i can

Cheers Keethos and they didnt! i bought it and took it in for them. the ribbon was a surprise for my girlfriend. Sorry to hear about your bump hope you sort it soon colour wise it will be a dark grey - gun metal / anthracite then 18x8 ish looking at advan RGDs ooo il hold you to that i hope to go to as many club meets as possible. (previous classic mini owner and a good laugh - currently got a 160bhp mini pickup im nearly finished restoring but thats another thread )
