If you want to ring Tegiwa (who are a MillTek supplier, but just ignore that) I can probably still get you a 10% discount code (to spend on anything regardless of price
), so browse the site/ring the lads, find something you like, inbox me, I'll ask them nicely and slyly send you the code - providing the 2 I know still work there

Miltek were a popular choice for the GT86, and as I remember, there were huge numbers of complaints with them cracking and welds failing after a relatively short period of time. I think Miltek replaced them no questions asked, and they ended up with a revised version with added flex pipes, but still, bit of a poor show.
Car looks ace btw

Better pics now I have it home
I'd love one of these next, lovely example
Love these..Better pics now I have it home
Absolutely classics and only going up in value.
They can start getting a bit crusty underneath, definitely something I'd get all wire brushed, take away the main surface stuff and get treated/sealed properly if it hasn't already.
Already been done a couple of years ago. It had a full strip and re-seal.
And me. I was like "WTF? someone actually bought one of those?".You so nearly got me. So nearly.

A really senior client of mine offered to meet me at JLR when my car was in for service --- whilst waiting in the car park he said how much he'd love one of those. I soon qualified him out of our pipeline.
As you should have. Sounds like he's qualified himself out of reality.
Took the 360 to Donington yesterday as felt like driving something more basic and older on track and was really impressed only let down by the PS5 tyres melting to quick and by some miracle I did never get black flagged.
Was great fun!

Says a lot that after all these years the S2K still has so much respect and value. I don't think I'll ever own one due to their continued price rises, but I'd love to drive one in anger once or twice to appreciate it for myself. Looks fantastic, Rilot!
Firstworldproblem.gifI hate coming into this thread, I'm so close to selling the RS6 and really want to go and buy a couple of cars
Fujitsubo RM-01A, had this on my S2000 and it was a lovely piece of kit.
Most stuff I've seen recommended on car forums and tried over the years has been junk, no one seems to want to own up to bad purchases.
Hi there
Might be the only owner on OcUK, or soon to be of an Alpine A110S, deposit placed today and going to collect when I return from holiday next month, cannot wait after numerous test drives of A110 and A110S last few weeks and trying some at Donington yesterday also, made my decision and trigger pulled:
A very different choice but after driving both the A110 and A110S I was somewhat blown away, think Lotus Exige handling, but far nicer place to sit and do miles in, I for one love the fact it is a DCT box, got enough manuals as this will make daily chores not only easy but plenty of fun. The highlight of driving them is lightness and comfort.

Harry did a review of the A110 GT and was impressed with it, i was shocked how light they are.
I had a lengthy test drive of the A110S recently and I was impressed by most of it, all except the engine note and absolutely contrived pops and bangs from the exhaust. Exactly 3 pops every single time you lift off in the sportier modes, which I found to be tacky beyond belief. The firmness of the S suspension would grate on me very quickly around here, the roads are in a terrible state and the S is very stiffly sprung IMO.
The rest of the car is pretty good for a French car!
I came away thinking I'd rather a GT for UK road use as it is the A110S (so same 296bhp engine map) with the softer suspension and leather interior rather than Alcantara. Horses for courses though!

For me A110 to soft and A110S a little too firm as such I’ll be putting a Life110 Geo on the car immediately as have settings to hand which supposedly helps a little and will then do springs which helps a bit, if still needs sorting then people rate the Billstein dampers but for me the S is the better starting ground and I’ll be taking it on track too, bit cheaper to track than a McLaren.
I used to drive around in an SVR so exhaust fruitiness don’t offend me but it can all be tuned out if I decide to really mess with car as their is a whole host of gearbox and engine tuning methods.
