    Fensport vs Tuning Developments

    Fensport told me to pay 200 pounds for 4 spark plugs when ask them a quote for servicing, imagine about another tuning parts. Something is strange there, better look for another mechanic in uk

    Oils and fuels to use

    Big mistake with 5W30. Manual says 0W20 imagine if you use different oil the engine could be damaged before his standard life or usage.

    Oils and fuels to use

    Oil engine can be 0W20 as manufacturer says, now regarding with engine codes, ACEA, and other shits I don/t think that will count too much because most of mechanics add different oil to the engines by eye or old aknowledgements. If manual say 0W20 without any particular code to take in count then add whatever you want with that viscosity. Mobil 1 seems to be good made in Belgium you can trust in that brand. Regarding fuel 95 ron could damage the fuel injectors but manual doesnt say anything, back fuel cap sayd 98 recomended, if is not then 95. Avoid tesco, saynsbury, asda etc. Pay for quality from esso or shell.

    Sainsbury’s fuel

    if you use cheap 95 fuel that is the reason of the issue. If no then the life of the pump is gone, search for aftermarket one cheap same as the original part will work properly

    servicing

    How much costs a fully service for GT86 2019 version? Toyota sayd 300 pounds basic and 500 major service. My mechanic told me the parts are expensive but I see them cheap, not bad from toyota sales parts. Normally a fully service by my mechanic goes around 350 pounds, basic around 200 :)) That amounts charge me when I was with the audi before. A5 from 2013 3 doors petrol 184 HP. If somebody has got waranty on his car then you can make service with the trusted mechanic but he must be VAT registered and use original parts if not waranty gets lost. Is any aplication or website where comes the maintenance schedule to make properly? Manual should say all details but sometimes we can miss something to do, or the mechanic understand when let him know to make full service he change all necesary things?

    Waze and starlink

    Waze is an aplication used in my country to tackle police speed cameras and road accidents.

    Waze in uk 🤣 it.s funny but i don.t recommend it. Police is hiding perfectly and people cant tackle them, from the hgv I can see them after passing through - sometimes they have camouflage cars driving around. 3 points and 100£ penalty could be better to pay 1 day for silverstone race track.

    2030 electric legislation

    Now it-s possible to make conversion from fuel to LPG - then must be to EV - our models are too nice for rid them off. 1 we can go to live in another country where they accept for long years fuel cars or conversion in uk. In my case I will retire in 4-5 years back home

    What to look for when buying a used GT86/BRZ

    HPI check - mot check - in person lift off and watch under for rust and other damages underneaf, body inspection, interior inspection, engine inspection, alloys inspection. Uk has got well maintained cars. I recommend to buy from main dealer ex toyota or subaru. Could have waranty if is close to be new.

    2030 electric legislation

    Hi all, I heard on radio about 2030 law to encourage changing our cars for electric versions. Petrol and diesel will be extra charged on taxes and probably fuel will be expensive too. Boris and the goverment are insane, what about fellas with old ferrari's and mini one`s - jaguar`s etc? EV-s are ugly and 5 doors low range of mileage and not sporty cars, not good shape at all. What do you think guys about this plan from goverment? Now I pay 150 quid for road tax :))

    Newbie needs advice

    Well, I saw lots of workshops making engine stage on google maps. Look for tuning workshops and call few garages on google maps, some of them will send you to a good one if they don.t care about what you need to make for yours. Steering wheel shoud be changed, that is the worst version for your car.

    Reserved a red GT86 in Wakefield :-)

    Remember to make propper servicing, and the car will last all your life. I love uk for cheap price of used cars even in they are 1-2 years old
