I have seen this key shell on different shops and I was wondering how much bulk it adds to they key. Is it still relatively slim?

I have the Ultraleggera 18x8 with 225/40 tyres on my GR86. I really like this set up and it feels good going through corners. But I don't know much about driving, others may give you better advice on that. If optics are also important to you, you should keep in mind that the Ultraleggera are...

Hi Sonic, The price of 1900 € for the UMCparts BBK is just for parts. The fitting and the TüV examination is on top. I think Subaru isn't charging as much as Toyota but they ain't no samaritans. The total cost of the BBK probably amounts to ca. 2500 €. It still seems better value for money...

The Toyota dealer sent me the quote today. They charge 1400 € for it. Including 466 € for labour.

so here is an intermediate update Replacing the brakes with parts in OEM size, sourced from the internet it would be around 150 € for the front axle and 130 € rear axle. With a rough estimation of labour costs between 200 € and 400 € it sums up to 480 € - 680 €. If found an old invoice from...

I try to avoid going the toyota dealers in my region as best as possible. Only for the annual service stamp because I don't know any good indi garage. I'd like to have the toyota quote as a reference and for the man maths to justify a BBK 😅 not that I need the performance, its the aesthetics...

Thank you two for the replies Oh man, compared to your discs, Sonic, mine look completely knackered. o_O @Renzokuken86 was it one grand for rear or for both axles? My next service is in November, I better sort it out before. I have emailed my dealership for a quote. Depending on the amount I...

Hello, I've noticed there are grooves in the brake discs. The grooves in the front discs are only in a few positions, but relatively deep/distinct. In the back they are more evenly spread out. Hard to explain so here are some pictures: For about half a year the car only gets driven on...

Looks amazing. The brakes really stand out and appear huge in the first picture. You still sporting the blue tape on the door sill. Did you buy it new?

My Battery died last week. o_O After an overdue cleaning and some repositioning in the driveway, the car barely started. I was afraid it will not start in the morning. With no charger available and ambient temperature below 5 °C and sure enough, it wouldn't. I bought the Varta D47 (same as D48...

The last few days it was below 0 and the car wasn't moved regularly. It sounded if the starter has to do some heavy lifting, but always started. The Battery display reads constant 14 V. Maybe it doesn't need a replacement for another year😬

I have some parking buddys at work 😁

We have our 3 week Japan vacation ahead and for four days we are staying in Takasaki. I wanted to rent a car there and found out that with toyota rental you could pick a specific model and they offered a GR Yaris. I thought, great trying out the street legal rally car in the japanese mountains...

To conclude my japan rental car reservation rollercoaster, I managed cancel the phony GR Yaris and found an other station with a GR86 available. The GR86 was even 10€ cheaper. Thanks again Ecsrobin, for saving us from an unpleasant surprise! Maybe I'll ask my dealer for a test drive with an...
