    GR86 Second service costs

    What miff’s me here is a fixed price service at £545 seems to be playing shy. As in a 6k miles car goes in, and they service centre then decide brake fluid or diff oil changes don’t have to be done. My attitude is all about value for money. So whether its needed or not, it should be done. I’m...

    GR86 Colour of alloys, matt or satin?

    I’ve some really minor alloy rash, its about time I addressed it with a bit of 2 part black filler, my trusty dremel and a bit of spray paint. Have the collective any idea what paint will match in? It looks more satin, than matt.

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    I stuck mine on 5700 miles ago. Just buy a roll of genuine 3M. T Cut the areas the tape will contact, so they are grease and polish clean. Masking tape on the spoiler, and on the boot to help get the absolute final position points bang on. Either method does have 3M, just remember its...

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Sunny day here in Dorset, so got my passport and immigration papers and went for a drive on Portland. I took the annual (same place) picture, as last year- just because it’s a perfect spot. A lad parked in his van (sign written) commented that it was the perfect Top Gear pose shot. As I left...

    GR86 Grey ‘86 in South Wales

    You end up driving to the tune of the Remark, never sit at 3k rpm, drop a gear and move along…..

    GR86 TRD Splitter and Ducktail spoiler

    As likely you know the bolt carriers on the spoiler are fixed via 3M tape. So bolting the spoiler in achieves nothing due to the 3M tape being the only thing that holds the carriers.

    GR86 TRD Splitter and Ducktail spoiler

    Order through TUK and all the colours cab be supplied, ready to fit. You might pay more, but add £150 to the Fensport for paint (outside there colour range) and it makes sense to go TUK.

    GR86 Are prices increasing?

    Well I don’t have any issue with it, yeah it’s a bit querky for the 1st few minutes. Fortunately after 200m from home I’m on a main access road for 1 mile. Just baby sit the car until the blue temp light goes and all is 💯% fine.

    GR86 Insurance

    Don’t ever live 300m for a 100 hectare bird santury, and 1 km froma 4 mile beach. There’s a lot of birds here. Gulls have no manors.

    GR86 Are prices increasing?

    I thought (at point of order dilemma) it was a bit too nick nick for someone who drives to the limit’s rather than keeps too them, so I went with the silver. It’s a funny car for colours, some pull the design out, other colours hide it.

    GR86 Insurance

    Dash cams bring premiums down, so I hope they didn’t load them on the premium. My renewal was AA with add on full roadside recovery, and hire car. £435 64yo, 19 NCD, clean licence, Dorset. Exhaust, and spoiler as mods. Howdens were £420, but no roadside or hire car.

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Hopefully it's shade, but for my old eye’s on an air pro, the blue spoiler looks darker.

    GR86 Might move on, fancy a 240i

    The GR86 is a fun thing, but lacks the comfort / power / distance munching the BMW can do. The BMW would be better on fuel, and insurance, although the RFL being £510 is a bit naughty. Anyone here know the current nearly new market, and what (if any) discounting is achievable at BMW main...
