Thank you very much!
Could well be me, as I do live in Droitwich
Speed bumps are OK, just need to crawl over them. Only bottomed out once on one, when I tried to take it far too fast.
If you live in Droitwich, and would like a test drive, you are more than welcome
Cool, I'll give you a wave next time, alas I'm in a grey A4 estate - one off by that seem to frequent Droitwich lol Could well be me, as I do live in Droitwich

Had a test drive of a GT86 yesterday - an auto, unfortunately! Liked very much and may get one next year, though I would only consider a manual (would happily have an auto generally, just seems wrong for gt86/brz). Don't think a turbo or supercharger is for me, and I found it quite fast enough for general use - although I approve very much of what the OP has done, it isn't for me - the ludicrous growth in standard wheel size over the years is a pet hate of mine and I would want to stay with 17 inchers, standard brakes etc. Though the Milltek exhaust and ecu upgrade offered by Litchfield looks interesting

I spy another option too: greddy.
There are actually a number of turbo options available in the USA, the problem being (in my opinion anyway) is that whilst it is relatively easy to cobble together a turbo kit to fit a car, it is the subsequent tuning, and resultant reliability which differentiates what is a good, and a bad solution, especially for a daily driver. My logic behind the selection of the AVO / Fensport solution was as follows:
1) AVO is a long established company (along with greddy), so they do know what they are doing.
2) The AVO kit has the turbo low down, replacing the existing exhaust manifold / primary cats, so the heat source is kept in an area designed for it. I am a bit worried with heat soak issues with a top mounted turbo installation.
3) Thirdly, and most probably the most important factor was having Fensport as the UK agents for AVO, so I know the whole fitment, and subsequent re-mapping of the ECU has been done properly by a known company with excellent credentials. The majority of the US kits rely on 'remote' re-mapping, whereby you are provided with a base map, and then have to take data logs to be sent to the 'tuner' for revision, and then you are e mailed back an updated map to reflash the ECU. Whilst this is obviously a very cost effective way of making a lot of money for the tuner, it certainly does not instill the necessary confidence in me, with a project that is costing close to 40k (if I include the initial purchase price, as well as the suspension, wheel and other upgrades I have made).

Great thread.
How much was the hinged armrest? That really does look nice, should've come with the car.
Do you have a link to any fitting instructions for the reverse camera, would it be a simple job for someone with the mechanical skills of clarkson?

Not a difficult job, but Clarkson may battle a bit
