Thanks for the offer Tilly but I think I'm probably a year or so away from a suspension upgrade to be honest. Too many mods, too little cash

Welcome to the club! I've only had mine a month or so but there are lots of experienced/knowledgeable people around here It looks like you, like I did, have plenty of time to get clued up.

lol Snow. Yea I guess I could consider tinting them, would have to be dark/black though. It's the Valenti ones I keep looking at. Thanks for the advice/tips guys and you make a good point on the MOT thing Knight, not that I know for sure myself. I would only get a rear one square and I would be getting it solely for the JDM look, not for the want of a shorter plate. We shall see, it won't be for a little while as I'm enjoying the new 15 plate look at the mo. I'll probably rip it off in September I feel like a highjacker, sorry Snowdrift. Back to you...

Good stuff dude! Not hanging about either haha. I prefer the square plates from when I owned imports too and will probably get some when I get my private reg. I also wish we had the indicator/wiper stalks the same way round! Makes so much more sense to me. I'm still trying to decide on the lights, I really want some smoked ones and hate the 'clear/Lexus/Ice' style lights but now I own the car I just can't get over how awesome the circles are...

Depending on the time, I'm up for this. I'm going to change to a full day off on Friday but I was going to clean the car and my mate who is coming with me only has the afternoon off. I could literally get on the a12 10-15 minutes after you and wait for you to catch up if you want If we're meeting others further along that is, otherwise I could meet you at Boreham interchange or something.

Lol Kesler, you're like me with leaving the plastic on. I still have the film on my pedals/footrest and I also left the blue film that comes on the door sills I didn't have any dealer prep/PDI done so had the option. After hearing that video, I can't wait to hear your car at Japfest James! You might change my EL mani only mindset!

Damn Smudge, that is a fine looking GT86! Have fun

I just leave it as it is at the moment, once I'm used to it I imagine I'll switch to sport or all off. First RWD experience so not going to take the pee. Need to find somewhere to have a play really so I can get used to dealing with any twitches.

Some awesome looking cars there, looks like it was a good day

Londoners... lol

As a very recent buyer I'm glad nothing major is incoming

Lauren, not sure if you've noticed, you appear to have removed Geoff's jokes from his post but they are still in the post where you are quoting him I think that if you're taking the piss out of people or whatever, it's all on the same level. White, black, German, Irish, Asian, American, Jewish etc. If one isn't allowed, I don't think any of them should be

Shiiiite... Oh well, only would have been £8 or so thankfully.

I reckon I'd be up for this

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you, hope you enjoy the BMW

And I thought my £80 Gtechniq order was expensive First wash on Saturday

Sounds good James, have you thought about the ITB route or do you reckon it'd be out of reach budget (and practicality) wise? They're probably the worst mod in terms of the power gained for money spent but oh my do they sound good! *edit* Don't think there are many about at the moment but that doesn't mean there won't be, neither do I know how do-able it is.

Thanks Keith, not quite what I'm looking for but it says they do custom stuff... I'd be well up for a meet anytime

I can tell you from recent experience that the wait will be worth it

I don't like the look of many modern cars (mine is literally my favourite car currently in production, no joke) but I think this looks awesome. However, hybrid and 4WD made me lose any interest. It certainly doesn't sound like a new Supra to me lol.

Cheers for the info and the thread link James, I'll check it out When the time comes, I'll need to have a serious look into exhausts. I know the HKS one isn't 3 inch but unless I'm mistaken it's rated to 350PS which may well be as far as I'd be able to go anyway. Another big thing for me is the 2 individual (and visible from the rear) backboxes as opposed to the stock exhaust design, and these seem to be few and far between. Also, I know videos aren't the best evidence and you need to hear them IRL but it's also the best sound I've found IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdVCUKEqFLw. Ideally, there will be a full 3 inch system that looks and sounds as similar as possible Maybe I need to hear PwrOut's one and find out where he got it if it's 3 inch. I'm aware that I could save a lot of money by buying a drop in filter and get similar gains but again it's also a look and sound thing here too (bit of a tart). It's also a bit of forward thinking, an induction kit and hard pipe gets you better turbo sounds. The air box just muffles the sound in my experience.

Sorry for the delay, the weather has been absolutely tragic! (Of course) Apologies for the effects of 2 days rain, poor lighting and photography skills but meh, here's some shots. Also, here's one Paul at Definitive Detail took after he'd finished his masterful work. I'm waiting for him to get the rest of the ones he took over to me, which I may share also

Top one easy for me

Dan Smith, Kotr was very briefly mentioned on Fb

Ah so you're Jordan
