My GR86 is fine but it is used daily. I think it is more how the car is used more than anything. Our other car has been laid up for a month and not really used for the past month and the 7 year old battery has bit the ghost. I had to go jump the wife at work last Wednesday evening! My Celica...

The HKS looks different to the normal drop in baffles. It has that whole cast section which none of the others have had almost making it a sump within a sump. It will be interesting to see the data on it though. HKS are a giant of a company in the tuning world so I hope they have done their...

That HKS option looks fantastic. A lot of thought has gone into it. Hopefully these will be tested and ready for the next season of track days.

Yeah 374 for all 4 in the end.

I have just put 225/40/18 Conti Sport 7's on all four corners. One thing I have noticed is it is a lot harder to get the back end out now and the grip levels are a lot higher before it will let go. Not quite as sharp as the 215's before but I think that is more to do with the increased grip...

Does accusump sort the issue out by itself or do you need a sump too? Doesn't make any sense to get a new pan if an accusump will do the job by itself.

There are lots of people developing larger capacity sumps at the moment. This is what I am waiting for before I even think of taking my GR86 on track. Larger capacity oil sump + oil cooler. Cusco front top mounts + rear adjustable arms. Uprated brake pads and RBF700/SRF brake fluid. Good to go...

It is like waiting for busses with these. When one will be ready they will all be ready. It is the major mod I have been waiting for before taking my GR86 on track days.

I got the dreaded stonechip last Friday. Only a small one just off centre and went to one of those Optic Kleer franchises at my local B&Q. Did an absolutely amazing job. Still a tiny bit in the middle because it is a starburst crack but I only see it if I focus in on it. Doesn't get in the way...

What camber bolts are people using as I ones I have used in the past always ended up getting knocked out of alignment with the roads we have now? Cusco pillowball mounts are only £250 ish.

What is adjustable on these cars for alignment? From quick Google it seems I need to get some lower arms to adjust rear camber and top mounts for front camber? I guess toe is adjustable from factory both front and rear?

This is always a problem with discs that have grooves. If your pads are not chamfered you can take a file to the edge and chamfer them. I had a set of Carbotech XP10's in another car and chamfering the edges helped no end with noise.

It isn't bending rules though is it. You want to put an alarm in that the car was meant to come with why should you have to pay for it then claim after? The court will side with everyone if Toyota have paid out already.

I haven't had my reply yet as I didn't supply my vin or anything. They just said to me they have forwarded it from Buy Online to customer relations. I would just get a quote and send it to them then get the £500 then decide what you want to do. I cannot see why we should be out of pocket to pay...

I have just sent my e-mail to Toyota UK. I still have the "drive home" insurance email from Toyota Buy Online which states to select "alarm & immobiliser" and have sent them a screenshot of that.

I do track days but haven't done my GR86 yet. Myself I am going to wait for the enlarged oil pan to come out then at least then I know I can beat on the car without too much of a worry. This car is very good out of the factory. Even the brakes are not bad. Some decent pads, good fluid and some...

That is good to know because initially I thought I had adjusted the clutch bite point too close to the firewall! :D

Overnight parts from Japan have eventually arrived. Can confirm the part I linked is correct. £48 delivered for the plastic trim. Will give it a coat of ceramic wax in a hope that it holds up better plus educating the wife not to leave her keys there also!

I am looking to replace the silver trim that goes around the gearstick and curves up to the climate controls. Long story short my missus had a habit of placing her keys there and it is scratched to buggery. From what I have seen this looks like the right part but I am unsure if it is for RHD...

Just taking my car for first service. Checked this morning and oil was a little over minimum on one side and more in the middle on the other side. 7700 miles. I redline it often and the car is pretty much driven every day. I decided to go 0w20 again in the end but bought a 1 litre bottle just...
