  1. Happy 10 Anniversary FlybyWyre!

  2. Check the price of a new GT86 in Australia. Long walk to the dealership but it does give a clue to why UK sales are a bit slow. Maybe not the same 5 year warranty but hey...its a Toyota. Good car. Overpriced here.
  3. Happy 9 Anniversary FlybyWyre!

  5. I have been watching Toyoya coupes since the 2000GT. Loved the 'Mustang' Celica, very not sure about the angular ones. Then the Gen 4, the first FWD caught my interest. Didn't buy one cos I moved to OZ and used to drive a friends over there. Since then Gen 5 GT4, Gen 6 GT and Gen 7 TS. (ST185 is not mine) Just wish I had bought a 2000GT ! Would have been a better investment than a house.
  6. Not happy with the gearing on the T Sport. 20mph per 1000 rpm in 6th can be a bit tiring on a long journey. A 140 gearbox/final drive is the answer.

  8. Torque Pro on Android with an OBD II Bluetooth takes a lot of beating. I know all the tech comes from the smartphone but you couldn't hope to provide HP, G force, GPS speed, altitude,acceleration, fuel consumption, water/oil temps and a host of other things without spending huge amounts of money. You need to check Torque Pro with the OBD II adapter before you go further. As you can't use a phone in the car then I suppose it is redundant (as a phone). If you transmit the data from the smartphone to a custom LCD display you would have something that makes a GTR dash look old world. Just a thought, and people don't like techy boxes!
  9. Unless you spend considerably more than the cost of a new battery then don't bother. Power output is minimal, voltage regulation not good. Get a trickle charger.
  10. 7 years 6 months with the T Sport but my friend has had her G reg Gen 5 GT4 since 1990! All original, including dealer stickers. Tyres, clutch changes of course. She is not a member but does deserve complimentary membership I think.
  11. As stated, jack up the back of the car, spin the wheels and listen. If all the new parts are OK then I would suspect the disc shields have been distorted. You would see shiny wear if there is contact. Grooved discs can be noisy. I have MB AMG63 discs in the garage and to stop 2 tons from 200mph (de-restricted) there are no grooves. Next time buy standard discs, pads and change the brake fluid every 2 years.
  12. Happy Anniversary FlybyWyre!

  13. I have those dials. If you search on Indiglow you may find the thread. Still working fine!
