    GR86 Anyone unplugged the sound generator?

    Fair enough... then I would recommend Somerset county Cars - becuase they do seem to know at least where the OBD2 port is... :ROFLMAO: @Alistair31 Good colour choice btw!! :love:

    GR86 Anyone unplugged the sound generator?

    I just had the first service, and I asked the Tech to disable the speaker in the ECU. Not problem, and was done free of charge. Car is much more comfortable cruising on the motorway without the dull drone from the speaker! And you can actually hear the engine now! I would recommend you do...

    GR86 Would you consider trading in a manual for auto gearbox?

    I have a new Subaru Crosstrek which has all the tech missing in the manual 86. The tech works great in the Crosstrek but I think would detract from the driving experience in an 86. So I vote No - the manual 86 is perfect as it is!

    GR86 What car did you previously drive ?

    Previous similar cars : manual BMW M3 Coupe 4.0 V8. I think the 86 is almost as much fun at much slower speeds and feels safer…. Before the M3, I had a manual Mitsu FTO GP version R 2.0 V6. This was a great car, but FWD which is why the 86 wins hands down! Out of all of these cars, I think...

    GR86 Having a bit of an ownership wobble - talk some sense into me perhaps?

    I know what you mean. I’m sitting at Toyota main dealer waiting for my first service to complete after 2k miles last year. I do feel that prices will steadily go up after 2024 and new deliveries stop. I just picked up a new Subaru Crosstrek as my daily driver and the 86 has pride of place on...

    Yep - and allowing for track day crashes and people who can’t drive RWD in the wet… 😉 might be a few less in 2025!

    GR86 Grrrrrr’ing on Dartmoor

    Great to know! I think there are only about 5 GR’s in the South West, so will be a rare sight! I’m in the Exeter area, but do pop down to Dartmoor for a drive every now and again! The GR isn’t my daily driver though, so only comes out at the weekend!

    GR86 Grrrrrr’ing on Dartmoor

    Still trying to get to the magic 1000 miles on the Odo… so took the Grrrr out for a spin through the windies on Dartmoor! Beautiful weather and perfect roads for some slow speed fun! And what a backdrop!!!
