Would you run a different brand or size on the rear and leave the fronts? Asking cos I’m in the same position and want to try something other than 215 PS4 this time

Sticking with OEM width - I know they’re a bit pricier than 225s but there looks to be more options available than I’d thought. PS 5’s sound like a good contender from a few 86 users. Just wondering if anyone has tried Pirelli P-Zero (low dB rating 🤔) or Dunlop Sport Maxx, Conti-sport 7 or even...

I think you’ve got that just right on all counts - well played

Top car guy and famously decent bloke Keanu Reeves having some fun on track in an ‘86😯

Top photography on this thread @sbc_uk 🍰🍰🎯

Bit of a confession here, that despite 14 months and about 11k miles of daily driving (on original ps4s) I have yet to loose rear traction 🫣 (aside from the occasional chirp) I’m not saying that I toddle about like I’m driving a shopping car btw Realise it makes me seem like a bit of a...

Numbers for sale seem down from 40-ish to 30-ish on autotrader. Maybe time of year or maybe all the demonstrators are finally finding homes? Still feels like they’re at a cracking price for a year old sports car (with 9 years of warranty left!) - and I’d still be genuinely struggling to see a...

Are you guys driving one handed (!!) or are you saying you’re resting your elbow on the transmission tunnel when changing gear? I might be missing a trick or my freakish tall limbs are confusing me, but my elbow seems nowhere near the cubby padded doors when driving. I usually just leave the...

I might look into op3 if it’s bugging you - some of those guys look like they can do great work with repairs. Would it be like an hour’s labour ££s ?? You could well get lucky and not get another stonechip for ages 🤷‍♂️

Amazing stuff- great series of posts✌️ (Also, always wondered what my silver car looks like on the road - now I know, thanks!)

I’m guessing all our cars do exactly the same MPG as each other, give-or-take, right? and this thread is showing us our different driving styles and journey types, not how efficient one car is compared to another (though 45mpg is kind of off the charts, eh? 😯) I do feel that this isn’t an...

Interesting, could you tell me more about the gearbox mount insert? What it is supposed to achieve and does it do what it’s supposed to??

246 Dino - 192bhp @ 7600 and 166lbft @ 5500rpm. Basically a GT86, so he was probably just daydreaming about what the extra torque of a GR would feel like 😬🤣

Wonder how many imports there are in UK? I guess this one is going to be relatively affordable - Pretty interesting to see the interior differences https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2022-toyota-gr86

Yep I’d agree with that- in fact I just had a great drive this morning to meet a prospective client. Mostly nice flowing B-roads, lovely sunny coast road and a bit of motorway (would be a nice project, but not too bothered if I don’t get it as the drive was so good) av 36mpg, and all pretty...

Isn’t a new short engine + one cylinder head just one head away from a complete new engine?? You’d have thought it’d be a lot less hassle to replace the lot 🤷‍♂️ (Elise looks great btw - if only I could figure out how to fold myself in and out of one🤣)

So tricky to get seating position just right, but I’m guessing we don’t have the same issues 🙃 (I’m about 6’ 4” - 195cms) I had a really sore neck when I started driving mine - until I added the steering wheel spacer. (Steering wheel too much of a stretch when seat base was far enough back) By...

Yep, good points there - I think things should settle down to fairly consistent pricing soon enough. I guess we’re in the slightly odd position where there’s still a few basically new ones for sale with only a couple hundred miles on them, so it’s always going to hard to price a properly used...

Will deffo be interesting to see how long it sits for. It’s probably where they’re at for a private sale though - somewhere between WBAC and dealer price? Shudder to think where I’d be at with nearly 10k miles if I fancied a change - that’d make for a pretty expensive year’s motoring ☹️

Pretty sure my windows tended to mist up fairly quickly whenever I’ve had the AC turned off
