Been meaning to respond to this for a while, but life gets in the way! Glad to hear the car is still going strong, and even better that it's in the hands of another memeber. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned. I'll have to emind myself to keep checking back :)

Hello guys, It's been a while. Some of you may be aware that during my ownership of the GR86, I had the opportunity to spend a day at Millbrook working with a recording studio providing car sounds for the movie and video game industry. A great opportunity, paid, and a day of enjoying the...

I also previously owned an Fk8 and it was a weapon. I made the mistake of tuning it to over 400hp, which although the chassis could handle it, it did elevate it to a level of power that's difficult to enjoy every day. I'll be keeping this one sensible power wise, it's already extremely quick...

Well as many of you will now be aware, in a rather unexpected turn of events, the GR86 is gone! The combination of a fantastic offer to buy the car, as well as a superb offer on a new FL5 Civic Type R made the choice too good to pass up. Going from the GR86 to the Civic is costing me £10 per...

I've not even tried mate tbh, I just don't use full lock haha. Tbh, it's no longer an issue for me, as the car is provisionally sold!

I've been to TD and been in touch with Mike for some time. I've seen the dyno numbers etc. on the tuned GR, looks strong. I'm unfortunately not able to share currently, as its still in development, but they're good. The reason its taken time, is because I told Mike that a lot of owners will be...

I believe they're the same model, but couldn't tell you if that's where they're sourcing them from. I believe not though.

Morning all. Just a quick update to let you know that the rear brake kit I helped design via Godpseed is now available via their website. There will be a £50 discount code available later today which I am awaiting from Ian, I will share this here as soon as I get it...

Long overdue update, albeit without anywhere near as much to report as last time. Car has now just ticked over 16.5k miles, still basically faultless. Latest additions to the car are: Godspeed front big brake kit Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 6 tyres Swapped from original M2 Motorsport seat...

I will be mate, in time. Just need to let funds recover a little bit, have a busy few months ahead haha.

For those considering the Godspeed kit but looking at colour options, I can confirm the powdercoating quality is superb. Luckily I have the car booked in to get these fitted tomorrow, so not too long to sit and look at them.

People worry too much about warranty in general. Toyota are one of the better companies to deal with in terms of modified cars, and that's especially true if you get your work done at RRG in Macclesfield. Of course you lose any warranty relating to the exhaust, but if you have a weld fail or...

Morning all. Just had an email from Ian at Godspeed. The rear kits are now in stock. This includes a set of new STI calipers (powdercoated in a colour of your choice), 316mm discs, pads and all necessary fitting equipment. They bought in 5 sets of calipers as a trial to see how they sell...

I've done around 12k miles on my set so far, down to maybe 2.5mm left on the rear, so really in need of changing very soon, but still no real obvious drop off in grip. I actually wish there was, as I'd prefer a little more fun.

I don't mate, but I'll try and find out. I would guess not.
