Ok. If you can let me know how much you want paying for the item including postage and your preferred means of payment, I will pass the info to Razaak. Thanks.

Hi, there is a member called Razaak over on the 'other' forum (GT86 ownersclub) interested in your USB retention harness. He isn't registered on here, so I said I'd ask on his behalf - is the item still available? Thanks.

Set of 4 17" Facelift GT86 wheels fitted with Goodyear Vector All Season tyres. I purchased these from Emmett (EB2429) on the Other forum back in May, with plans to fit them with some stock Primacies, but they've just sat in my garage for 5 months I've already got All Season tyres fitted on the car, (Michelin Cross Climate) so don't really need another set. Wheels are not absolutely unmarked, but are in excellent overall condition, very clean and straight with virtually none of the usual kerb rash (there are one or two small 'nicks' in the rims across the whole set that you really would not notice on the car unless you knew were there and made a point of looking for them). Overall a very presentable set of wheels that look to have done only a few thousand miles. Tyres are also excellent, with around 6 to 7mm tread depth and being a leading brand of All Season tyre would be an ideal choice if you are planning on driving your 86 through the coming winter. TPMS valves are fitted. I'm just looking to make my money back , so looking for £300 ono which is pretty cheap I reckon given you've looking at well over £400 new just for the tyres alone. You could probably even sell the tyres and TPMS valves and end up with a nice set of wheels for virtually nothing 😃. Wheels are in York and collection preferred. I may be able to meet up elsewhere on a weekend, but currently driving 1300 miles a week for work, so depends a little on what sort of week I've had 😃 Alan.

Nothing there that I find that surprising, seems to me that the key question any GT86/BRZ owner needs to ask themselves is: Do I love events more than I hate Facebook? In my case that's probably a "No" (for the time being at least). I definitely quite like the idea of going to the odd low key meet / 'event' (I tagged along to the recent Midlands meet that Will300 kindly bothers to arrange) I definitely don't like the idea of being on Facebook again anyway, even less so if I'm also risking loads of regular questions about flat batteries and tail-light condensation 😠 Possibly one of the best things for me about the Midlands meet is I didn't need to go on Facebook to find out about it as Will publicises it on both forums 😃

Nice find (nothing similar on Ebay.....) DEFINITELY my kind of mod this, Cheap, Simple and Subtle boxes all well and truly ticked with the nice added bonus of being quite funny. Easily reversible too...... If you do go ahead and order, hopefully you can then do a comprehensive step by step How -To for the "Install" 😃

Not embarrassing if it's got its blue lights on.......😉

Well if you do have to wait a bit, you can always console yourself with the fact that you're doing fairly ok already at 21 driving a stock 86. Got my first car at 25. A 45bhp 1 litre Polo 🤣

Isn't that quite hard to see from the driver's seat? 🤔

Hi Simon ! Did wonder if our paths would cross on the 86 forums. Just looked back at the pic you posted in the 86 thread on ROC. On your red car that wheel refurb looks like £6 well spent for sure 😀 . Should be getting a cheap set of O.E. 2018 wheels soon to run different tyres. Might try some plastidip on the current set.

Thanks Laura 😃 (my name's Alan, but you can call me Ethel if you want, just nice to hear from a fellow MR2 fan). Have never tried a turbo MK3, but even in stock tune they can feel decently quick enough for a twisty B road IMO with sorted suspension and AD08Rs 🙂 Its still my ambition to have a nice MK1 someday, will just need to empty my garage first / build a bigger one.

Thanks Will ! A pic. Its dropped about 25mm on KWV1s fitted by the last owner. No real planned further mods currently, though could quite fancy swapping the wheels for some 17 inch Rota Grids / JRs / Bolas at some point. Anyone with any thoughts on any of the those (e.g. weight / general quality ) would be good to hear.
