    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Unplugging the antenna isn't part of that feature. Mine's evidently happened by accident as it's rather exposed just stuck on the support beam like that - seems like a bit of an afterthought. Out of curiosity I did an OBD scan before reconnecting it but but no faults were reported. That error...

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Tidied the boot and found this unplugged thingamajig: I believe it's an internal antenna for the keyless system to stop you locking the key in the boot.

    GR86 17” options?

    Thanks! Yes, unmodified apart from the wheels. I don't seem to have many angled shots but they're not proud at all, so I think an extra 8mm would be fine. I'll try and take a couple of shots over the next day or two (any excuse!) but I think you can get an idea of the rears at least:

    GR86 "That's a fresh whip bruv"; or the Toyota GR86 collated feedback thread

    170.9 for Super at my local Texaco yesterday, so 74 quid fill-up :sick: Combined with a lad holding the shop door open for me and asking "Is that your Supra?" :ROFLMAO: At least he knew what an 86 was when I corrected him, then said it's a nice car and is it on Insta...

    GR86 Oil Consumption and Pressure Issues?

    Can't be oil vapour if it is dry & gritty, it would still be wet unless it was somewhere hot enough to burn/carbonise. Could it be an exhaust leak, as that might also account for the whistle?

    GR86 How many of each colour?

    I don't really understand why almost every new car seems to be just some shade of grey...

    GR86 Coding via service departments.

    It's a couple of years now since I did the install so I can't really remember (and the guide I used has gone) but I think the only things I installed were TechStream, the TechStream patch, and the VCI driver. I think maybe there was a sequence to installing the VCI driver, something like plug...

    GR86 AUTOID

    I watched the video over the weekend - given some of the comments here, and that I'm probably not in your audience demographic, (being an old fart now) I didn't mind the content really. I think the GR86 was actually great value when new at around £30k - the thing is, because they're great to...

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Well I do have a service book, but it says something along the lines of this will only be stamped in regions without online service records, and it hasn't been stamped. However the online record is correct, albeit a bit sparse on details, and I have the actual service paperwork/receipts. Some of...
