    Event GO JAPAN!, Brands Hatch - Monday 31 August

    Yes, looks like it's the 17th, I've just checked on the go japan site and copied the below information (even tho' it says closes 10 days before in the FAQ, I think they're giving themselves the entire weekend). So yes, if you want to come please book in asap! @awretham and @ZN8 you both said...

    GR86 SXC black 86

    Thanks for that, and glad you're still having fun with it. I do love silly turbo noises so that's right up my street ;) I'm down in Kent at the other end of the country, but if I'm ever up that neck of the woods I'd love to take you up on it :)

    GR86 SXC black 86

    Heya, wondering how you're getting on with the turbo, and wondering if there's any audio recordings of it. I'm sorely tempted to get it done next year... Did you ever sort out the front pipe and get it through its emissions test? (which must be coming up?)

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Is there more information about this? Which one of the two do you unplug (blue or white)? If you unplug it how does it know your foot is on the clutch to start it? I'd like to try it out of curiosity, but want to know about negative effects.

    Abbey Motorsport doesn't have anything to do with Abbey Toyota does it? Or just a huge co-incidence that the 2 best GR places in the south east are within 10 miles of each other? Getting the throttle response better is my only remaining "issue" I have with the car, so if that's on the cards I'm...

    GR86 Battery Dead after 1 night

    Do you have any 3rd party electronics attached to it? i.e. Dash Cam, Tracker, Alarm, replacement head unit etc.? If not then I'd take it into a garage (unless you or someone you know has a clamp meter or something similar to check yourself) to see what the current drain is when the cars totally...

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    I drove it to training for the first time with the new gtek clutch spring (the 66 one) and what a game changer, I only wish I'd done it sooner. It's taken away my main gripe about the car, I cannot recommend it enough! (just don't drop the nut when you fit it!)

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Today I had "An Adventure" I installed some aliexpress bonnet gas struts after figuring out where the bloody brackets fit and having to go out and buy a closed end ratchet spanner so that you could actually reach the bolts... It's actually great once I installed, glad I did it :) Then I had to...

    GR86 Car Security Install Experience

    I had a non-ghost immobiliser installed today, the guy who fitted it was great, a local independent and really knew his stuff, it was *not* straightforward and needed some working out on his part to get it working with some of the quirks of the "Toybaru" electronics. He said something...

    Event GO JAPAN!, Brands Hatch - Monday 31 August

    A month to go! Exciting times! We're doing quite well I think with numbers! @awretham were you still going to bring your Supra? @ZN8 & @GR_Boulter are you still interested in coming (you said you'd like to)? Be nice to have a few more Yaris to even out the numbers, and another Surpra would...

    GR86 Some pics of my work in progress.

    Just make sure you don't get it on any bare plastic, and wash it off afterwards as it's pretty savage (from what I've heard).

    GR86 Neptune Blue (Dunfermline)

    Looking clean! Where did you get the red covers from? I think I've found the 3 circles in that pack on aliexpress, but not the red dipstick top and the clutch reservoir? Any leads would be gratefully appreciated :) O, also the nut covers ;)

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    I was putting on some darker Toyota badges, the rear came off fine with heat, dental floss and some gentle persuasion, but I managed to break the front one off because unbeknownst to me it's held in by one way washers (which I didn't know, and there's literally nothing about anywhere that I...

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Took mine to Cars, Bikes and Coffee at Lydden Hill Racetrack this evening, £3 entry which included with a free (decent) coffee. Saw a GR Yaris among lots of other fun and especially retro toys, there weren't tons of cars there, but what was there was pretty nice, including immaculate examples of...

    Looking great! Where did you get the seatbelt covers and seat strap seatbelt guide cover thingys from?
