    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    I did mine with the pedal in place, it certainly was a bit tricky. Is it possible to fit it in the wrong position? I thought it might sit a little closer to the brake pedal.

    GR86 Exhaust Tips - are the UK OEM tips welded on or bolt-on?

    Sounds great. If you're planning to sell the tips I might be interested.

    GR86 Engine rebuild video from Misha

    Doesn't do a lot for the anxiety levels, does it? Seems a very good reason to keep the warranty up or to do some preventative work.

    Scottish summer run - 21 July 2024

    Is there any chance you could share your route after the event? I'm visiting family in Northumberland in a few weeks and would love an interesting route to follow one day, but am crap at spotting the good routes. Shame we're not around this weekend, have a good run!

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Fitted the Cusco accelerator pedal extender. Very awkward and fiddly, but didn't take long. I've yet to drive it, but it looks good.

    GR86 Fensport Oil Pickup Pre Filter

    From what I could understand (and I am far from an expert) the idea is that the mesh in the pickup tube covers a small surface area and is very easy to clog, so adding this basket increases the surface area so it would take a huge amount of rtv to clog it and therefore cause an issue. Seems...

    GR86 Fensport Oil Pickup Pre Filter

    Thanks, that did cross my mind, but I should probably have run it by you first (y)

    GR86 Fensport Oil Pickup Pre Filter

    While getting my car serviced at Fensport on Monday I had a good conversation with Michael about what upgrades they would recommend for the GR86 and we inevitably came to the oil starvation issues, of which they have seen a few (in GT and GR86) and it is particularly recommended for track use...

    GR86 Broken

    It's probably easier to email Michael at Fensport and ask, as I was distracted by a lot of shiny bits and bobs (strut brace with brake stopper, pedal extender bought!), but there was a 'cage' that fits around the oil pickup to capture the rtv but still leave space for oil to flow. Not sure about...

    GR86 Broken

    Talking to the guys at Fensport today, they are strongly recommending a fix to the oil pickup and a baffle for the sump, particularly for track work. No use for you of course, but potentially a warning for everyone else.

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    10k service time at Fensport (and maybe a few goodies...)

    GR86 Loose gear knob

    I had a wobbly (standard) knob a while ago and an extra 360 degree turn did tighten it up nicely. It was quite a relief!

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    I've been giving serious consideration to attempting the clutch pedal spring swap, but have decided to delay it until another day because it looks far too complicated for a numpty like me. So, I nearly did something with the car, but then thought better of it. I'll probably think about it again...

    GR86 Anyone unplugged the sound generator?

    I can do it for you using the software if you're in the area any time? Mind you, I simply unplugged mine, it was very quick and easy.

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    I drove a rather lovely F Type Jag today, the 3 litre supercharged V6 sounded great and it was rapid, but I was happy to get in the GR86 for the journey home - better steering, manual gear change, better visibility and more fun at 'sensible' speeds. A hatchback would be handy though!

    GR86 Plantar fasciitis

    I (quite literally) feel your pain. I've had it on and off for about 2+ years now and a trip to a physio (private, sports based) made a huge difference. The heel, calf, hamstring and lower back are all linked so the stretches work all of those - I just need to do them more regularly...

    GR86 Reducing Front End Noise

    Absolutely! Concrete stretches of the M25 are terrible, I even find myself picking lanes depending on the road surface (only when the road is clear, no lane blocking if I can help it)...

    GR86 Focal 2 way component OEM retrofit

    I finally started to do this, only driver's door so far and I like it. I did have the annoying rattle in that door and it seems to have fixed it, only to find another - can you guess what it is đŸ˜‚
