Hi, its with a heavy heart I have to sell my GR86 due to the need for some substantial home renovations. Owned since new via the Toyota online ordering system and I took delivery on the 16th January 2023. I've looked after it as my pride and joy and its genuinely a fantastic drivers car. A full...

Highly recommend it as a daily option. I daily my 86 and very happy with it, I would hate boom or resonance or too loud but it is the perfect balance of sporty and useable which is exactly what I was looking for. Quality is amazing and Nigel is a top bloke :)

Very happy thanks, had mine installed in Sept time and it has transformed the driving experience. On cold start it is very loud and bassy, but 5-10 seconds it calms down and when warm its a nice gentle note when idling. On acceleration it gives a great noise from low revs and no boom or...

I removed the V bars about a year ago and notice no difference in driving experience other than a better secondary ride and that annoying buzz has gone. Maybe noticeable on track but for day to day cant tell they're gone and the noise is better

Yes it makes use of a lot more of the pedal travel and therefore removes 90% of that 'on/off' feel that it can give. Double check but I am pretty sure they'll accept returns within 14 days if not happy with the product, it would have to go back to Germany but for the cost of some airmail it...

Hi Conscript, that did cross my mind, I dropped this post and then didnt visit the forum for the longest period in 3 years!! 🤣 So I've had it just over a month and for me it cures the main issue that I experienced and led me to the verge of selling the car, the throttle mapping/responsiveness...

Well this is a first! I'm actually recommending and 100% please about the service (both customer and car!) received last week at Guildford Toyota. Yes they're a GR centre which might help but they seemed to know how to treat the GR products and what GR customers might like/prefer. Besides some...

It takes power from the car, the XLR plugs into the same factory connectors / pin from car to throttle so it must take the feed from that. Mounting you have a few options, it comes with cable ties and double sticky Velcro, I have cable tied the excessive wire away from the pedals up above the...

I was at Guildford Group1 Friday having mine serviced, they have a dark blue on for £32k also now with 4k miles. They're by far the best Toyota/GR dealership I've come across for aftersales.

Hi - grab a cuppa... So a side subject of 'Jerky acceleration when cold?' which might help those who like me feel the throttle is too sensitive and aggressive in many situations. For me it is a bit of a pain when driving in traffic or slow situations and a jaunt across Wales showed it up in my...

Quite like that look too, something quite european about the steel wheels. Bet the ride and noise is improved on 16s and softer tyres? Good to know VW is an option, that is a big market for 2nd hand options

You're right, I drove a Focus RS once in torrential rain and with winters on it was borderline dangerous, no idea what tyres they were but they were not suitable for wet! A/S tyres would be the one I would be going for, UK roads low temps and the occasional icy sections rather than alps and...

Those wheels are making me want to swap tyres just to try and justify them! :) I've seen white/gold/black but not the grey in the top picture, that looks spot on and I'd be tempted! Being a silver car I am not sure white wheels would work on it even though they look even more rally!

Hi, no doubt this has been done this time last year but I wanted to see what the latest recommendations are for wheels and tyres? Im happy to buy a cheap set of wheels (steel would be fine) and winter tyres rather than swapping tyres over each season, but looking online for steel wheels or...

I much prefer those wheels to the real ones! :D

Hi @GRpirate I meant to get in touch and see what you thought of the CTEC, great you're enjoying it and it was an easy fit. Also really nice to meet you and have a chat, it really does make the 86 much more enjoyable to drive, I do really like the mid range growl the most.

Hi all, I've posted this on this thread below, but thought as this is a wider exhaust discussion, some might be interested: https://www.gr-zoo.com/threads/c-tec-gr-86-product-release-with-zoo-offer.7065/page-2#post-111795 An update from me, I had the @ctecperformance C-TEC cat back exhaust...

ps - I did take a few video clips from behind on cold and warm start but the iphone didnt represent the actual sound well at all so I'll post something when I can get some sort of representative sounds from a recording.

An update from me, I had the @ctecperformance C-TEC cat back exhaust fitted by the very friendly and professional guys at C-TEC on the 5th Sept so I've had it a week+ and done several hundred miles with it including the drive back from the sunny (on the day!) C-TEC HQ in South Yorks back to...

I've had mine unplugged about 6 months which Im really pleased about but have bitten the bullet and getting a CTEK in a couple of weeks which Im excited for. I hadnt thought about it being 5% of the car :ROFLMAO: but I did the man maths of if Toyota had offered a sports exhaust as an optional...
