    GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

    Did anyone get the GR86 poster and do you know if Toyota Buy Online will send one out as my dealer never had one to give? I did get a safety kit in the boot which was nice.

    At least you had the 3 day Toyota insurance so it will be done in house.

    GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

    Mine is ready for pickup this Saturday 9am. My car landed on UK shores 11th August. Car was at Derby on Monday but after a phone call to Toyota Buy Online it has gone from there to ready to pick up in 48 hours with a phone call from the dealer to arrange handover. I think it has been at the...

    GR86 Picking up in 2 weeks, how do I pay

    I have been sent an e-mail with Toyota's bank account details. Is it simply transfering the money over like you would to a friend? All seems rather unprofessional and I can easily see someone getting scammed by a fake email.

    GR86 Oil starvation

    My old GT-Four is 10w40 but on track I run 10w50. It is pretty much the go to thing to go up a weight on the hot side when tracking unless it is something exotic which will be already running the higher grade.

    GR86 Oil starvation

    I like how Americans try to make it scientific etc but it was pretty obvious from the start that a decent baffle plate with vertical trap doors would help. I still think a larger pan on top would be beneficial however. I do hope this works though and becomes available. The donation is more to...

    GR86 GR86 - Brake Upgrade Guide

    I got you so Reyland AP and STi rear calipers would be the perfect setup whilst maintaining OEM brake balance? Would the performance pack dust shields fit behind the Reyland discs or are they too small? Also what is the noise like with the AP kit as I noticed you have them on your car? I have...

    GR86 GR86 - Brake Upgrade Guide

    I am confused how do you lose braking power with bigger calipers. Also apart from the tapered pistons it is exactly the same as the performance pack for the GR86 unless I am missing something?

    Bleed nipples can be reversed and calipers turned around and then it is a non issue though?

    I am oldskool and just wax my cars but interested in this PPF stuff. Why is it so expensive though? I could get a professional respray of the front end for that price. This looks pretty good value to me...

    GR86 GR86 - Brake Upgrade Guide

    My GR86 isn't even here yet but brakes are going to be the first thing I will change for something a little more beefy. From what I have seen from pictures I have looked at is that the "Brembo Performance Pack" for the old GT86 bolts straight up to the GR86? Also these calipers look identical to...

    GR86 Oil starvation

    This looks like it might do the trick. Although not sure about clearance issues with the standard manifold and are the 2.0 sumps interchangeable with the 2.4? https://86speed.com/full-blown-frs-brz-cast-aluminum-oil-pan Would be a very low cost solution to ragging it on track.

    No as I think they look horrid on the rear bumper. I reverse 44 tonne artics daily without rear view camera's, sensors and sometimes even without mirrors! Camera is more than adequate in my opinion.

    GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

    Mine has now updated saying on VOT that it is at Derby on transit to my dealership but I haven't had anything contact wise about payment etc. All I have had is the missed spam calls about the survey.

    GR86 Oil starvation

    Most of them are larger width ways and made to fit into the car correctly. The other benefit of having an increased capacity oil pan is keeping the oil cooler as well for longer. My quite limited search seems to be that there is very little available on the aftermarket for the old GT86? I guess...

    GR86 Turbo / Supercharger

    My modified Toyota Celica GT-Four is around 400 BHP and similar in weight to the GR86. It is a complete pig to drive as a daily. Carbotech pads sound like a freight train coming up to the lights and the Tein Superstreet coilovers break your back on anything but smooth tarmac. One thing I have...

    GR86 Oil starvation

    Everything is almost pointing to the actual pan not being big enough due to something to do with the design of the engine preventing oil to get back to the sump. A large capacity sump with proper baffles in it should solve the issue.

    GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

    I was in Preston today and had a delivery at Booths by the riverside. Noticed two GR86's that had most likely been dropped off for Toyota Preston? One was Sapphire blue with a 23 plate on it and another white one with no plates. The rest was full of boring Toyota's. Both still got their film on...
