    GR86 GR86 - The clutch pedal thread

    Hi Gary, I’ve got one that I never got around to fitting… I was struggling to get my ageing body into the driver’s footwell so I gave up trying to fit it 🫤 I can’t remember what it owes me but make me a realistic offer and it’s yours Steve Heywood

    GR86 Focal 2 way component OEM retrofit

    I’ve decided that these speakers are an unnecessary upgrade as I’ll probably be changing the car in September / October If anybody wants a set I’m in Hawarden near Chester.. I could also drop off in the Manchester area as I’m over there frequently.. looking for what I paid ideally i.e. £120...

    GR86 Real World MPG

    I generally use Costco @Triggaaar as it’s pretty local.. the annoying thing is that our local branch (Chester) has a difference of ~10p between a litre of Unleaded and a litre of Super Unleaded.. at the branch near my Mum’s (Manchester) the difference is generally only about 4-5p.. I’m not there...

    GR86 Real World MPG

    I’ve been running on unleaded pretty much since October.. The car always felt a little harsh on acceleration.. she was almost empty when I filled up this Tuesday so I put super in.. the car feels much better (could be psychological) and so far the average MPG seems a little better .. I may have...

    GR86 The sweetest taboo.

    I've used mine to go to the course a couple of times.... I carry an old towel so that I can get it back in the car post round without transferring any odd mud spots into the boot

    To be fair I'd be happy with either... As long as it's standard

    Doesn’t the manual tell you to wait five minutes? That’s what I’ve been doing..

    GR86 Focal 2 way component OEM retrofit

    Bought these yesterday... I never really intended to fit them but as they come with a little sound deadening material I thought "why not" Decent price in the end at £120 with the postage so hopefully SWMBO won't be cross

    GR86 1 Year Review

    Saw an RX8 yesterday which was in great nick.. Red and sitting behind it the smell was lovely... Not sure if I imagined it ;-)

    GR86 1 Year Review

    Great write up and it makes me think I should renage on the deal with SWMBO to swap ours for a "normal car" at the 12 month point... I love the GR To be fair Mrs Lady has said a few times (again today) that if I "don't want to let it go" then we'll get a smaller car for her... She's 100% moan...

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Stayed on the standard wheels over winter but I do like the idea of a set of steel wheels.. Which ones are they?

    GR86 How long will you keep your GR86?

    A year… SWMBO said I could buy the car while she’s recovering from her stem cell transplant and then we’d get a “normal” car again… Whether we do sell in October will depend entirely on the return we’re offered.. if it’s too low (bearing in mind I was a batch #2 full retail price buyer) then...

    OK, fair enough

    GR86 What's my GR86 worth?

    I’d also try Cazoo… they beat all the other prices on my ePace by about £1,500 and the handover was a breeze..

    GR86 GR86- Cars for sale - General Discussion

    I’m kinda happy if we do keep the GR and get a smaller car for everyday use… I love it and it gives me a chance to convince SWMBO to go for something like an UP GTI 😬
