Signed up but doubt I'll be able to keep up with it

Fellow 86'ers In the not too distant future, I am hoping to have a magazine feature on my GT86. I have been given a choice between a few major tuning magazines, but out of the options my 2 favourites are Banzai and Fast Car. I'm stuck between the 2, and here's why: Banzai is a great magazine focussing on the Japanese tuning market, so it's more bespoke to my car but then has less of an audience Fast Car has a much wider audience but has a perception of being a bit "chavvy" at times What would you choose given the choice?

Not quite the feature I'm on about...

Welcome Jared! Where abouts are you located?

I was thinking this too NS2 a.k.a DITCHFINDERS

I know there aren't, hense why I said I want to stick to the 1a list as I don't want semi slicks to put me into the 1b category and therefore the Pro Class for TSS Had the 595's before, wasn't blown away by the grip levels tbh

What have you got?

B*stard

Welcome to store them in my garage. Can't guarantee they won't be used at some point though

The 1 hour drive back with a new exhaust would sell it for me. An hour to enjoy new sounds, yes please!

Parts have started to arrive at Abbey, so far just the HKS cams and head gasket ARP bolts arrived at mine yesterday, it's all coming together! Bring on the 17th August!

Really looking forward to Japfest2 and JAE, as well as Simply Jap on 2nd August at Beaulieu

Spurs? Don't know why you're so bothered!

Who's playing, Mike?

Need to buy a new tent and chairs for this and JAE

*ahem*

Reason you won't find any is because the doors are pillar-less so the conventional ones can't be fitted I believe Tarmac sells some though that stick on rather than wedge in place like the Heko's do on other cars

Interior parts fitted And all cleaned ready for the trip up to Silverstone for Trax tomorrow Wheels will be remaining off for a few weeks to allow the new paint to properly cure and breath before adding some Gtechniq C5 sealant and hopefully fitting before Japfest 2 in August

I'm in Sutton and Rob is in Coulsdon. Welcome!

Nissan Micra?

No help at all but any pics of the steering wheel?

Been an exciting (but expensive!) few days ordering parts in preparation for the build Mark at Abbey has been a star in answering all my questions and guiding me through this with his extensive knowledge. The car will is booked to go in for the work on 17th August where we will be installing: - HKS 2.1l stroker kit (pistons, rods and crank) - HKS cams - HKS 1.0mm head gasket - HKS heat grade 9 spark plugs - Upgraded Walbro fuel pump - Upgraded oil pump - Asnu 500cc injectors - Setrab 16 row oil cooler - Xtreme HD clutch - Xtreme lightweight flywheel - ARP engine and head bolts - Moroso sump baffle plate And most importantly... - Sprintex 335 supercharger! The 210 kit was great and will shortly find a new home with a new forum member. It's done me so very well for almost a year but I want bigger and louder! I appreciate the 335 isn't to everyone's liking due to more efficient systems such as the HKS v2 and some new developments like the Harrop and Cosworth, but I like to be different and that whine is just stupidly addictive Mark and the Abbey team will need the car for a number of weeks which means she may not be ready for JAE Watch this space people!

Oh dear Mike Dare I ask for the obligatory pics? Hope you get it sorted

Not that I'm aware of Nige

There's a guy on the ft86 forum looking into some potential upgrades but nothing yet. The 6 pin electrics is the main issue for compatibility
