GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

Got a chip in the windscreen :( seems this car is a bit of a magnet with it being so low. Going to get it filled before it becomes a crack.

I think this is the second windscreen posted that has been chipped in only a few weeks - week Toyota glass?

Yup, mine was the first on Boxing Day. Got it filled in. It's not perfect but I'm fully expecting more to come up on a car this low that's driven weekly, so no point replacing the windscreen yet.

Some JDM goodies arrived for me today.

Rubber floor mats, great for this time of year.

Both bought from japanparts, ended up being eye-wateringly expensive by the time you add shipping tax and customs. Oh well, sod it.

Do you have the link for the carbon key cover? Is it a sticker or hard plastic cover?
Many thanks.
 
Today I loaded up my tiny unobtrusive SanDisk 64 GB flash drive with some FLAC and MP3 files, and slotted it into the car.

I also fitted my Stoplock Pro Elite as recommended by @Swizzle and as you can see it's a nice fit. No pressing the horn and no undue pressure on the wheel nor gear gaiter.

Does access to music on USB flash drive disappear when you connect your phone to the the other socket? Seems to for me with my iPhone, I've not got an Android phone to try out to see if thats the same. I unplug the phone and I get access to the flash drive again.

It seems happy with both for my (Android) phone - for the Android Auto Google maps feature at least. I don't store music on my phone so maybe that would confuse it?

Does the USB stick need to be formatted as fat32 and is their a limit on size?

I'm not sure if it's necessary to format as FAT32, but I did indeed do this (so haven't tried it without) - experience with previous cars and indeed my Marantz system at home means I just do this automatically.

I'm not sure about file size; I've got about 50GB worth on there (3-4 thousand songs) and it all seems to work ok

Yeah sure; https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/?id=63782

I originally thought it was a shell, and that you relinquish the guts out of your original key into it, but it is a cover that completely encapsulates the standard key. It's made from a very nice, but thin layer of 3k dry carbon, the bumper is a matte aluminium finish.

Oh and it comes with a 1 year, 20,000km warranty (y) 😅

Sounds like it might be an iPhone thing, I'll just have to stick a load of music on my phone instead then and play it back from there.

Tint and Wheels (y)

Also +1 for the stoplock elite pro.
Easy to get on and off. Fits even more snug if you place the lock over the steering wheel controls, would then also need an additional cut if cutting the steering wheel to remove it.

Looking good [emoji106]. What spec of wheels have you gone for there?

Definitely the limit on the stock setup, tyre is only a few mil away from the spring.
