Looks great on these 🤌

Cheers folks - makes sense 🫡

So this is my first new car with manufacturers warranty and the process is a bit of a learning curve as I usually do all mechanical work myself. I’ve resigned myself to paying the geniuses at the dealership £500 or whatever it is to change my oil for me - but can we just fire ahead and do...

Awesome - cheers! That looks great✌️ 7.5 / et48 looks totally fine - this is stock suspension and no spacers, right? I’d seen a set of 7.5 / et40 wheels - wonder if the 8mm extra poke out would look wrong? You wouldn’t have a more rear or front angled shot of yours?

After 3 years I think I fancy a change of wheels. Has anyone any nice ideas for 17s on stock suspension? I think that size looks very cool and I’m sure the ol’ middle-aged back wouldn’t complain about a wee bit of extra sidewall?? Seen a few on various forums over the years but didn’t save my...

Today’s ‘least appropriate car on the building site’ award goes tooooo…

After 20k miles including 2 winters of daily use I’m getting close to switching out the original PS4s. Anyone tried a set of them new fangled Cross- Climate 3 Sports? sounds like they could be just the ticket

I go through phases of wanting a slightly lower seat too - was there something GT86 owners did, like taking the seat out and stretching a support on the underneath, effectively lowering the seat cushion? Or an MX5 style foamectomy would possibly work?? You go first 😉🙃

WBAC are currently offering just over £25k for mine (16,000 miles) so I wouldn’t expect any private sales for less than £26ish 🤷‍♂️

Is there is an ECU reset or similar possible from dealer or specialist? Reason I say that is cos I don’t recognise this symptom in my car so maybe it’s a baseline calibration of air / fuel / throttle in some cars or something?

I think you’ve nailed it there, and it was a no for me - the GRY wasn’t as much fun as the 86, so I didn’t pursue a deal any further. I’m 100% certain that for a lot (most?) of folk the Yaris is the car they’d go for. It’s a really gutsy engine with all the torque and the cornering is...

Yeah, I hear you. The original Yaris wheels are great. Similar design to ours but forged, right? What’s not to like 🤷‍♂️ Price to change (zero) seemed reasonable though, given mine is currently bang on £24k as a trade in or WBAC

Called into supplying dealer to get the brake fluid changed (they ‘forgot’ to do it as part of 2nd annual service a couple of weeks ago) no matter cos they gave the keys of this chappie to amuse myself while they did the work. 2021 / 26k miles circuit pack. Sketchy looking wheels + scorpion...

What effect does using the back 2 have on the gear change?

Was stoked to come across an opportunity for some formation parking when I saw another 86 in a car park this morning, but the sketchy parking skills of the neighbour in the next space kinda put me off 🤷‍♂️
