    GR86 Déjà vu Moment - 2x White 86 - A38 Lichfield to Burton

    Apart from the Scottish GR run last summer, I've never seen another in the wild in over 2 years of ownership. Definitely a glitch in the matrix!

    GR86 GR86 - What wheels and tyres are you thinking about?

    I think these are my favourite. I like the clean round centre, and also that they are a available in 18x8 and 45 offset. Need to choose a colour now 🤔

    GR86 GR86 - What wheels and tyres are you thinking about?

    I hadn't come across these wheels, so thanks for the tip. From what I can see the 18x8.5 weigh 10.6kg, so about the same as stock wheels. However, I am unsure how much extra weight will be in the wider 235/245 tyres. Your chosen enkei wheels come in significantly lighter at c. 7kg for 17s or c...

    GR86 GR86 - What wheels and tyres are you thinking about?

    Yeah, those are really nice. I've been watching some videos on YouTube and the Americans seem to put on as wide a wheel (normally forged) as possible, up to a 9.5J. This then requires coilovers, changing camber, trimming arches. Probably not practical for UK roads. I am happy to retain standard...

    GR86 GR86 - What wheels and tyres are you thinking about?

    Was considering these Bola wheels, but just discovered they are about 2kg heavier per corner. How much of a negative impact will this have? I think I prefer the look of chunkier wheels, especially as the standard brakes are so puny looking.

    GR86 Outside temp affects on suspension.

    I felt this yesterday morning as it fell to 2 degrees. I thought it was because I check my tyre pressures the day before. Maybe we need winter dampers, as well as winter tyres!

    Hi, did you get a chance to record any sound clips? Thanks

    GR86 Driven+ YouTube review

    He seemed to love the pumped in noise from the sound generator. Not sure I'd be happy about lending a youtuber my car to do 0-60 launches and hitting the limiter.

    GR86 GR86 Gear Knob Thread

    I think the gearbox will also have become smoother and less clunky with more mileage too.

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    I have a weird rattle in the same position, also only when it's cold. I think the noise may be coming from the speaker/tweeter grill above the vent. Not done any exploratory digging though, probably won't till the winter now 😂

    GR86 I have sold up

    Interesting to see the height comparison. I had an MR2 many years ago, was the least reliable car I've ever had. It was 16 years old and had 150k miles though 😂. Had a leaky t bar roof and whenever I drove it I had to tuck my jeans into my socks so they didn't rest on the sodden carpet. I...

    GR86 Insurance

    I had this message appear too. It seemed to work sometimes, then other times not. I think I ended up using mobile data rather than WiFi. I persevered as they were far cheaper than the next best. I tried to enquire about European cover, but it must be added at quote stage. My policy hadn't yet...

    GR86 Insurance

    I didn't add euro travel to my policy, but it was one of those additional add-ons, like legal protection. I recall it being closer to £30 though!

    GR86 Insurance

    My renewal from Admiral came in very expensive. Ended up reinsuring with a company called Moja via confused. They are an online only arm of AXA. Interestingly, it looks like they cover many modifications without specifically stating them individually. May be handy for some. See attached image.

    GR86 The number plate thread

    Did anybody else get a plate close to their surname picked by Toyota? Mine is kind of close. A friend bought a Jaguar many years ago and they gave him a plate that was a cut down version of his surname.

    GR86 Back order on oil filters

    I just checked my invoice and I was charged £1 .67 for washer fluid 😂. I have never topped it up though. Interestingly, I think they also adjusted my handbrake. Always thought it was a quirk of the car as to how high it sat, but after the service it is noticeably tighter and now rests in lower...

    GR86 Back order on oil filters

    Hmm, I'm beginning to doubt if my filter was actually changed now. I didn't call beforehand to check if they had all the required parts. What would happen if they drained the oil, then realised they had no filter? Just refill and hope nobody notices? If your post had been a day earlier I could...
