    Re: Car Showroom v2.1

    Haven't been on the forum in long time and not sure if i have posted a photo of my car either. I am big JDM fan and particularly a toyota fanboy with all their unique sports car. Like Butcher i also drive a Toyota GT86 in black. My first RWD car,coupe and sports car which like butcher said the handling is amazing around B roads but people underestimate it because many people only care about straightline speed. But the car was designed to go around B roads and on track and have fun on decent budget.
    Mods done to the car so far:
    Cobrasport resonated catback exhaust
    Cobrasport Overpipe
    Blitz SUS advanced induction kit
    Mishimito Intake hose
    Sound generator delete
    JapanRacing JR3 in White 17" wheels
    Kuhmo KU39 Tyres allround
    Car all cleaned up*ignore the small dirt on wheels that was getting cleaned up at Silverstone Japfest 2016*:

    The car at Silverstone for Japfest with load of members from the GT86/BRZ club and AE86 club:

    Also did a dyno run which the car was producing 188hp on the crank without any tuning, the car will be going for a low temp thermostat installation and tuning next week.

    Re: Car Showroom v2.1

    Finally got the car I've wanted for years: a 1988 Golf GTI 16V in Atlas Grey. Needs a bit of work to get it perfect but it's got a lot of promise.

    Nice! Very similar to the one I used to have (mine was slightly older and 8V). Even at 236k miles on the clock it was still probably the most fun car I've owned.

    Re: Car Showroom v2.1

    Posted this in the photo-a-day thread, but it's probably more relevant here:


    No real mods yet. Just got some new rims for winter tyres. When they go on I'll be able to get the originals refurbed.

    Love the GT86 but white wheels are going to be a nightmare to keep clean. Do you have a set of winter wheels so the white ones don't get ruined?

    Re: Car Showroom v2.1

    Few pictures of my current car here...its a Jaguar XE R Sport 200ps Auto. About 14 months old now and normally by this point into a new car I would be getting serious itchy feet..at the threshold where I could sell it and pay off the PCP (and get a new one ) or keep it for another year as I drop into negative equity for a year or so. For the first time since owning cars I think i'll keep it - its that good Comfortable ride, plenty of gadgets, looks great when clean and economy is much better than my old M135i (no surprise there hah). The 200ps engine (from a focus ST as this is a 2015 model) actually does a sterling job of moving the car quickly - not that I don't really want an XE:S but hey its 15k more

    I am very, VERY tempted to swap it for a V8 Mustang...but 14-15MPG would drain my bank balance and buying a mustang with that "sensible" 2.3 ecoboost engine instead of a V8 would be criminal..couldn't do it.

    These pics are from when I collected the car but it looks every bit as good after a weekend of detailing!
