    GR86 TPMS

    Many thanks, that’s very helpful. have just bought a set of wheels off a GR86, as the owner has decided to changed wheels. I am going to be taking them into get a colour change, so the tyres will be comming off. So, I presumme they will just take the existing vales out, and re-fit them once...

    GR86 TPMS

    So, in layman’s terms, can someone explain how these work? and where are the actual sensors located. Never had a car with tpms fitted before, so just interested to know exactly how they work. Many thanks.

I’m sure I paid...

    GR86 Possible Change of Wheel Colour.

    That’s a good point. I do actually like the wheels on the GR, so quite happy just to get the colour changed. But yes, will look at the options of buying a new set if I can find a set that ticks all the boxes. Going to get a price to get them painted shortly, so will give me a yard stick to go with.

    GR86 Possible Change of Wheel Colour.

    So, never really been keen on black wheels. After a visit to a body shop yesterday, will be getting the brake Calipers painted Red when they can fit me in, which will hopefully lift the standard Calipers, and improve the appearance somewhat. My car is silver. So, my question is….. what colour...

    GR86 Brake Upgrades & Wheel Spacers

    Just called into local body shop, to see if they would be interested in painting my Calipers. As with all good body shops, they are stacked out with work, and not main stream stuff, they do a lot of classic/race stuff. Knew exactly what the car was as soon as it pulled in, and was keen to look...

    GR86 Brake Upgrades & Wheel Spacers

    Exactly, they start to let the look of the car down. I intent to pay a local body shop a visit, to see if they will paint them, so at least they will clean up easily🤣

    GR86 Brake Upgrades & Wheel Spacers

    I have always thought that a nice set of Calipers matched with a nice set of wheels really help set a car off. Not complaining, , but the the stock brakes really do let it down a little🙈 The cost to replace/upgrade is a little eye watering however, or is it just me being a bit tight😉🤣

    GR86 Accessories

    Calling into my dealer this morning to see how much they want to fit A Rear Duck spoiler. it says only Red on that link, I presumme other colours are available ready painted? I watched the youtube from Kevin Wo fitting one, a few months back, looks like probably could be fitted in an hour...

    GR86 Exhausts

    Not that I’ve noticed, in fact I sometimes have to remind myself it’s got a sport system on. Definately not intrusive. Although I’m sort of hoping that all changes when we start exploring the higher end of the rev range🤣🤣

    GR86 Exhausts

    Had my Cobra non res on now for approx 400 miles and no sign of an EML👍 Fensport fitted mine, and only charged me an hours labour to take the oem one off and fit the Cobra. Am loving the improvement in sound, although wouldn’t call it loud, but must make an effort to get above the 1000 miles...

    GR86 Extending the waiting list?

    I also had the email this afternoon as well. As I missed the original allocation, I bought a ‘flipped’ car that had only done mileage from the dealer to the original purchasers house, so effectively as new a car as possible, all be it at a £3k premium. So, if I had managed to get one on the...

    GR86 D A Machine Polisher - Advice

    Use to be quite into detailing my cars a few years ago, but then life gets in the way🤣 and things move in a different direction. Now I have the GR86, am going to make a concerted effort to keep it in tip top condition, so am wanting to get a machine polisher, but this time thinking of getting a...
