I only spoke to them yesterday morning and already it's turned up. Great service and thought I'd display it upfront as if it was a national trust sticker
Thanks once again EasyRight89 !!
Nice one, looking good! Mine arrived too, really quick turn around. Just need my car back now XD

Toyota are currently offering "high miler" stickers to people with... High miler Toyotas.
https://mag.toyota.co.uk/high-mile-club/
I think it's a nice touch!

What I was thinking - def if selling would be super clear. Worth an ask like you say
Sent you a whatsapp, I've always wanted a set of these and have a decent wheel place in the town here :-)

Ok. That is the plan.
Who wants it?
Collection only.
Maybe put in the "cars for breaking" or "car parts" section? Just a thought...

This just makes me think of Motorhub. Definitely something dodgy there XD

Seems you can save yourself a few miles.
Might start running Momentum then, would save me a lot of time!

Like the BEAMS engine ECU for example?
Exactly like that!

They are doing all sorts of shenanigans by having it 95 RON fuel but with a 5% ethanol mix in some countries though. The ethanol can actually be harmful to older cars.
Isn't that the deal with Momentum99? That's why I've been steering clearing and driving miles out of town to a Shell garage XD If that's not the case, would much rather use Tesco as I can use my clubcard and it's five mins down the road...

Only JDM models have ECUs that take higher RON into account AFAIK.
Exactly this, it's only the JDM ECUs that are set to run at 100 RON (which we can't even get here).
Not too much point running premium in a UK spec 7, power isn't really high enough to make a difference.

And this is, in my opinion, why most coupe's seem to fail.
That little thing is expected to have over 205bhp giving it more power than both the last Celica and the GT86.
Which is by no means something limited to Toyota, any company that has produced a coupe recently seems to think that the body shape alone will sell the car
"It looks fast, doesn't need to be fast" appears to be the line from car manufacturers.
Really well put, totally agree with this! Seems companies are happy to dish a load of power into hot hatches, but not into coupes. Shame really.

The hot hatch theory is interesting. I don't think Toyota ever did a proper hot hatch, only ever lukewarm ones at best.
That's about to change, the new Yaris GRMN looks like the real deal and the specs are decent.

The 86 refers to the 86mm bore, and 86mm stroke of the Subaru's horizontally opposed boxer engine design.
"The development code of this vehicle is 086A[4] and its main production names 86 (pronounced "eight-six" or Hachi-Roku (ハチロク) in Japanese, but more commonly pronounced as "eighty-six") or GT86, reference historic Toyota front-engined and rear-wheel drive sports coupés and hatchbacks, in the form of:
- the 1967 2000GT (Japan's seminal fastback coupé whose design cues adorn the 86 and which was also powered by a 2.0-litre engine); and
- the 1983 to 1987 AE86 range (renowned for its handling and drifting abilities).
Toyota also referenced to its first sports car, the Sports 800, given that both this car and the 86 share a boxer engine layout,[5] as widely used by project partner and 86 manufacturer, Subaru."
Good old Wikipedia! Whether it can be trusted is another thing. I didn't know it was also related to the engine layout.
21 minutes ago, bazz54 said:I take your point about being a nod back the past; the popularity of the MX5 and of vintage sports cars is evidence of that appeal and I do not 'dislike' the 86. But as a practical everyday car which still retains some driving pleasure, the G7's handling is well above average and, if the 86's is better, that alone doesn't tip the balance for me.
Totally fair, if I had £26k I would certainly not be happy to spend that on a GT86. Though to spend £4k on a G7 GT and then keep the remaining £22k... much happier!
-
I always feel a bit sorry for the 86, gets so much grief and seems people have COMPLETELY missed the point as to what it's about. It's a nod back to the old 86 from the 80s, low power but amazing balance/handing and super fun to drive. The handling is on another level to the Gen 7.
Not really sure why people bring speed to the equation either, both cars are slow (stock). No one buys a Celica/86 for speed, so many cheaper/same price options with vastly more power and "speed". It's all about the character, nothing beats our cars for that!Obviously at current prices you get a lot more car for your money with the 7... but in 15/20 years I'm not sure which will stick in the memory more.

Most drivers like a top gear for cruising on dual carriageway/motorway.
Is there anything that can be done to change the final drive on a 190 box?

THIS^ Not sure why anyone would buy a 140 now when a 190 is about the same price.

I wish I’d never bought this car - nothing but trouble - compare to my old honda accord is crap in every department - apart is a bit quicker when that shit uplift working. Really disappointed - that car reliability index must be fake paid by biggest car makers - toyota never again !!! back to honda as soon a possible.
Remind me to never bring you along when going to see a new car then! Sounds like you managed to buy a proper dud.

Around me I just leave stuff out the front of my house and they always disappear. Do you get any rag and bone trucks drive around you?
Otherwise you can probably go to the tip?

In answer to your question, someone that couldn't afford a Supra. I went there ;-) (Waiting for the tide of butt hurt).
In all seriousness they are all so different. Gen 7s seem to attract the younger lot, Gen 1s the rich lot, GT4s WRC fans and then all of the old Gran Turismo fanboys from the 90's with Gen 6s. (Look at me stereotype)!
I'm 27, work for a video games company and should probably "fit" into the Gen 7 category, though I listen to Phil Collins and think I'm Crockett from Miami Vice in my Gen 5, so...
What I really like about the club is the variety of backgrounds and interests without your usual amount of dick swinging.

I had a set of these BluEarths on my last car, great performance and awesome in the wet.
The compound is far too soft though, by 10k they seriously start falling away.
-
Well my car is a bit of a mess and looks a bit chav/rice (until I sort it out), but the day I got it, my neighbor was shocked, "WOW, you've got an Aston Martin?!?!?!"
Sadly I was bought back down to earth when my other neighbor said, "is that a Vauxhall?"
Maybe he meant the Calibra... in which case that's ok!

Safest bet is to stick with premium then, probably what most of us are running anyway. I'm just hoping they leave that alone, even if the price jumps a bit as a result.
Maybe an old wives' tale, but isn't Momentum artificially pushed to 99 RON by using bioethanol anyway? Probably safer to stick with BP/Shell premiums, but I get that can be a pain. I do get a bit bored of having to drive 20 mins away when there is a petrol station in the village XD
Had that issue with my old 185 and it only ran properly on V Power... CS is a UK model, so should be ok, though with a stand alone I'll set it for 97 RON.
