    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    I agree, the fragile paint and interior is my main bug bear in this car. To the point where I don’t really like taking passengers (that aren’t family and know the score) as I feel like I’m coming across as odd asking them not to scratch the plastics and insist that all bags etc go in the boot...

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    I still had to go for a service anyway.... however they made up for it by scratching the A pillar and centre console... Just got home and am summoning the strength to contact them about it.... I know I'm fussier than most, but its still not on. I always take photos before it goes before and...

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    oh, no, wait they have just called to tell me the parts are not in, and they'll be in "some time in january". For a car that's off the road in winter, marvelous. Now they are checking what to do as the wattanty will have expired by the time they get the parts, for an issue I reported nearly 3...

    GR86 First MOT, Modified Cars, Future Emission & Noise Issues

    Can or worms indeed, but would that mean a standalone ECU counts as "bypassing emissions equipment"?

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    I went for a drive and got overtaken by some spunktrumpet in an Audi who used crosshatching (unswept and cleared by cars) and a huge run up.. the end result was 4x new stone chips in the bumper, 5 in the bonnet and two on the drivers side headlight. I know you shouldn't, wish ill upon others...

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    I cleaned it, including...... the inside of the rear window. I'd genuinely rather change brake pads than clean the inside of the rear window. Side note, looks like a spot on the rear spoiler where the paint has failed, anyone had this? I'll re attack with some compund but it doesn't seem to...
