    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    2 near misses so far but I’ve a feeling my luck is gonna run out at some point… 🫣🥴 Somehow finding it tricky to judge the position of the front spoiler

    GR86 Your car history timeline

    Would need to search through the ol’ shoe box storage system for photos of most of these 😂 MINI 850 (mum’s hand-me-down) Mk1 Golf 1.3 basic (great 1st proper driving memories) Fiat Cinqucento (Sporting!) (Inbetweeners yellow) MINI Cooper 998 (not worth the extra £££ over a basic one) MK2 Golf...

    GR86 Anyone unplugged the sound generator?

    Yep, I second that. I unplugged mine last week after a year of daily driving with it connected. In spite of being ‘ideologically opposed’ to the concept of the fake noise, I actually thought it sounded pretty good. I just unplugged it on a whim out of interest. But I’ve got to say I 100% prefer...

    GR86 Summer/Winter Tyre Management/Storage

    My factory PS4’s (and car) are a year old this week. It’s my daily driver so I’ve used it all winter and the PS4s seemed fine tbh. Like you say, I just went easy in sketchy conditions

    Wonder if there would be much dB difference with the bars removed though..? 🤔🙃

    GR86 Reducing Front End Noise

    Went for a decent drive yesterday and it included a good 100 miles or so on the motorway. Bloomin eck, the road noise was insane on some stretches! Me & the missus were practically shouting at each other to have a normal chat - which was actually pretty comical. I’d say if your daily commute...

    GR86 Locking wheel nuts issue

    So, just went to take off a wheel to get a puncture fixed and there’s no sign of the ‘key’ for the locking wheel nuts 🤦‍♂️ Bit of searching on here and it looks like I should have a grey box with the key and 4 normal wheel nuts?? Checked under the boot liner and in the glove box. Can’t really...

    GR86 Jerky acceleration when cold?

    From the translation above, it looks like the Type C update includes a recalibration for ‘safer’ implementation of the VSC. Would this make the Type C spec a suitable update for a safety recall?? I would quite fancy that more linear throttle map… though in fairness I think I’ve developed a...

    GR86 Exhausts

    Think this looks great- if anything I’d prefer the tips even smaller. I think large diameter exhausts look a bit silly, especially on a not too large cc car 🤷‍♂️ I’d love to hear a few more videos of this one as it looks / sounds promising 🧐🧐

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Looks like I’ve got myself a puncture in a rear tyre - currently @ 7k miles, so a bit of life left, but wouldn’t be too bothered if new was needed. You reckon it’s worth taking the opportunity to change both rears to a different spec? What’s current thoughts on best alternative to PS4s?? Drove...
