    GR86 Which oil for fast driving (no track car)?

    A bit like tyre pressures being extremely high for the weight of the car. The same is said for the oil. 5w30 is a lot better in that regard. All done for economy and emissions. Anyone who tracks their cars knows to go up a weight on oil on the hot side. That goes back decades.

    Those red mats look absolutely fantastic. Do you have a link for GR86 Logo picture to send for them to put on?

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Process for purchase

    Yeah hindsight is a wonderful thing. Paid cash as well but my dealership had to send two back. People order them then once they get here realise they cannot get the finance on them and they get sent back to Derby for dealers. Even now unsecured loans are around 8-9% and you will not get the...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Process for purchase

    Best thing to do looking at the GR86 is just hold on to your money. Wait for the cancelations that cannot afford it and then wait for a Pre-Reg 2k under list price from a dealer..... If the GR86 was anything to go by the new Yaris will be the same. Very few will buy outright and plenty will not...

    GR86 Oil starvation

    You don't need time and resources to know the weakness of a flat engine. Plenty of Porsche and Impreza owners have done all the data gathering for decades. Once we get a larger capacity sump that fits in the standard confines of the engine then the issue will be completely resolved. That's all...

    GR86 Tail light interference with body work. Check yours!

    I don't think you need any o-rings as they are meant to be adjusted from factory and the threads are interference fit. They don't get loose as you adjust them.

    GR86 Tail light interference with body work. Check yours!

    What a weird thing to do on Christmas day but I have done the same on mine. Drivers side as well. Just a couple of turns of the adjustment screw and all is good now. A tiny little bit of wear but polished out okay. My car is on 2.5k but has been extremely filthy recently so would have only...

    GR86 Oil starvation

    The guy is a Youtuber who takes people around the ring in their car. He has crashed more times than I can remember and it is never his fault. ;) He isn't very smooth with his driving either. He has blown up plenty of other peoples engines because he doesn't monitor temps etc.

    Maybe if I knew the car I let out. Lol

    GR86 Vehicle Security

    If they gave a cash incentive or free servicing I would take this instead. An alarm is pretty pointless in this day and age.

    GR86 Exhausts

    Anyone here have the Fujitsubu system? I have had Blitz Nur Spec, Apexi N1 and Fujitsubo Legalis R on my Celica GT-Four and the Fujitsubo is far the best one I had, 3" all the way through but doesn't drone and makes a lovely sound...

    GR86 Real World MPG

    Went to brands hatch a couple of weeks ago. Was only 800 miles on the car at the time of driving it. Got 38 although I didn't reset it. I can see 40+ being quite easy as there was 2 of us and the boot was full of camping gear. 330 miles to the tank with a good 20-30 ish left in the tank when I...

    GR86 Oil starvation

    How can Toyota prove it went on track though? GR86 has no way or recording telemetry as far as I know. The GR86 also comes with a Track mode and button. How do they get around that? The reply's you get from these Toyota emails are just basic gibberish to cover themselves and have no real legal...

    GR86 BTCC season finale and unexpected GR86 Meetup

    I was there in my Red GR86. Was in the carpark near the start/finish. Was a good day although I had to pay for everything :P

    GR86 Oil starvation

    There are tracks in the Uk that a majority left handers as they are anti clockwise. You could also overfill the sump and it would be more than fine. More importantly I would be flushing the brake fluid with RBF660 at least or if you are feeling rich Castrol SRF. This accusump seems to fix the...

    GR86 Oil starvation

    How would Toyota know it would have blown up on track anyway unless you told them? You could be coming out hard on the right hander coming out of junction 27 on the M25 to join the M11 and it went pop there ;).

    GR86 GR86 - The clutch pedal thread

    I don't think there is a issue with the clutch but there is definitely something up with the mapping of the throttle. Especially in 1st and 2nd. I had a lorry let me out of a junction the other day and in a hurry I just ended up coming out of the junction with oppo lock on. It was quite...

    GR86 Vehicle Security

    Our 2005 Suzuki Ignis Sport had no alarm. My friend bought a brand new VW UP! In 2014 which had no alarm but that was a basic car. Didn't even have central locking. Weird thing is the GR86 will beep at you like an alarm if you get out and shut the door with the car switched on without the...
