Ive had no personal experience with them but I've heard of reis and competition car insurance which may be able to help.

Hi all, My name is Tom and I'm the new owner of Tweedbean's old car. Great to meet a few of you at Japfest 2 yesterday. I've only had the Gt86 since Thursday but already put a few miles on it and gone to a meet. Got a few plans for it but that's for another thread. Had a few Japanese cars in my time, started out with an Impreza sport special before moving up to a Nissan 350z which I have had for the last 4 years. In between I've also had a track mk1 MX5 and an S2000 with Greddy turbo which was unfortunately written off in March by an insured car whilst parked. I've always liked the sound of the GT86 as it is the car I wanted when I had the Impreza, a coupe shape but with a flat 4 engine. I hope to get out to a few events and track days in the future.

I tried the demo last night, the 5 cars available were almost my entire car ownership history. Ive recently bought a thrustmaster TX wheel which is great fun although I've found I'm slower with Forza whilst I'm getting used to it. I'm also currently playing a lot of destiny, I can't see to get away from it and I've preordered the taken king expansion. My gamertag is the same as my username here if anyone wants to join me.

Yes, I'm planning on doing some track days, will likely be doing Donington at the end of October and Blyton sometime before that. I had a mk1 mx5 as a track car a couple of years ago. No plans to do it competitively at the moment though.

So I bought the car from Tweedbean on the forum with a few mods already in place. Lowered (roughly 50mm) on Tein Flex Z coilovers 18" Gold BBS RSII wheels. with Vredstein Sessanta tyres. P3 Vent gauge and code reader. Alcantara interior. BRZ side vents. Engine bay had been tidied and some parts painted in VHT red. Silvertec bulbs. Plastidipped front bumper. Yellow fog lights. So having had the car for a day, I had to change something to make it my own. So, I've started small and changed the rear number plate lights to LEDs as I had some spares that were the same fitment. No before picture for you but here's how it looks now. I've got a few plans for the car so far, the first being fitting some adjustable front drop links as there aren't any on the car at the moment. I'll likely need to raise the suspension a bit too as it'll be my daily driver. Then fitting the Borla UEL and scorpion overpipe that came with it, along with a backbox which I haven't purchased yet. I'm currently considering the Cobra resonated or the Invidia N1 (I like the idea of the bungs to quieten it down every now and then) and I have a scorpion resonated decat to go on if that isn't loud enough, my Nissan 350z is pretty loud with a cobra non-res and unsilenced decats but I'd like this to be at least a little bit civilized and to pass trackday noise tests. I also plan on having the roof wrapped black and possibly the boot to match how my previous car looked. Some buddy club rear lights could be nice too. Then there is always some sort of turbo or supercharger to think about for in the future...

That's the idea, a remap will then be due after the exhaust is on.

Just a quick update. Fitted a HKS panel filter yesterday and I've ordered an Invidia Q300 backbox to complement the rest of the exhaust parts that are already waiting to be fitted. I can't wait to get it all on as it's so quiet in comparison to what I'm used to with the stock system on.

I've been warned about you already
