Hi All,
I have had a thread on here before, regarding my old car...  But I have now moved on and grown up a little bit (and my insurance has dropped now I'm 25!) So I have picked this little one up !      The only modification I have done so far is a TarmacSportz strut brace.  The paint work is in a terrible state with stone chips and general tiny dents here and there, the previous owner didn't really take much care of the outside! Let me know what you think! Ryan |

Awesome car! Love this Toyotas
Stone chips are a bit of a pain, from what I understand the paint is really soft and it picks them up like crazy (had it on the last Lexus and this one also)

Great car, and I actually quite like the wheels.
 Rosso is that the latest Blue? |

Great Car. I had the Gen 7 Celica, that was then replaced by the GT86. Kind of wish I had kept it and supercharged it as a guy from the forum developed and supplied the kit for it. Sold it at 170000 miles and it still revved nicely up to 9000rpm.
Enjoy. |

Love the GT86 (and the BRZ), great looking cars and very reasonable price for what they are. Seem to be holding their value well too, which is a bugger as I want one
 Being 25 made sod all difference to my insurance, was more the NCD I'd built up that brought it down. Apparently 30 is when it actually makes a difference, but even that's minimal I'm told! Insurance... Enjoy the car, though looking at the little Citroën it won't stay that way for long!
