Incase you've missed it, the GR86 has an immobiliser, but no alarm. This thread may be of interest, covers the response from TGB and further avenues explored, with no success so far, https://www.gr-zoo.com/threads/vehicle-security.4341/

It was my first run on that road with the 86, though had done others in the area. It was perfect and was thinking to myself "This is why I bought this car"(y)

The sun was out on the East coast today, so trip to Whitby for fish and chips. Then spent the afternoon on the North Yorks Moors. Blakey Ridge was very quiet and had a great run in both directions, flying solo without the passenger seat speed limiter. :)

First impressions, Yay! I can hear some good sound from the back. The whole car now seems filled. What is apparent though is the total lack of bass in the rear, due to the filter in the headunit. As said at the top, I've a plan to do something about that. The sound deadening has also done...

Apparently there are 2 types of standard rear speaker brackets used in the GR86. 2.5" as used in all 6 speaker cars. This is all UK, EU, and base spec US. 3" as used in the 8 speaker Premium set up. The same bracket is used in the old GT86 set up. I've seen pictures of both types modified for...

Yes, I didn't want to have to strip it out again. I used Dodomat materials, 2 packs (1.8m2) Deaden Pro, 2mm thk butyl with black finish, 2 rolls (2.0 m2) of 8mm acoustic liner and a 'speaker enhancer kit' to seal it. This did the rear arches, front doors, and under the rear seats. Panels got...

I've previously fitted the Focal kit to the front and was very happy with the improvement over standard, but that was always going to be a first step upgrade. An amplifier, rear speakers and / or a sub was the longer term plan. With this car an unobtrusive build that could be put back to...

Reminds me of this, :LOL:

The speakers will sound better with no radio attached to them.:LOL: The thing that bugs me everytime is the cost of cars in other markets, outside the UK and EU. They're still making a viable profit selling this cup version at approx £19,000 in Japan The Subaru BRZ Cup Car Basic is already...

Rust from trapped water would be my concern too, especially on a seam. (y)

Ah, sorry, I mistook it that the area around the wheel (top of the polystyrene) was now low. I used a 6mm plywood board to sit on top of a space-saver, doubled it up with some 6mm strips where it sits on the tyre. There's also a felt sound deadening mat under the wheel. Total thickness to level...

From page 2 of this thread. A shaped boot liner to fit around a full size spare: "This would give you back that space if you wanted something tailor fitted. The two cars have the same shape boot." https://toyotadirectparts.co.uk/par...present/toyota-gt86-2016-present-trunk-liner/

Any emissions based system will affect Toyota GR models as much as SUVs. Here in the UK, Bath has had emissions based parking since Sept 2023, so you'll not want to go there. https://beta.bathnes.gov.uk/emission-based-car-parking-charges

Liberté, égalité, fraternité ...unless you want to buy a car. Then you're screwed, no freedom, equality or brotherly respect for you!

And a Subaru plug washer. (y):) The only Toyota part is the box that the Subaru oil filter came in.

It's coming. Targets are targets, whether they're on time or late. "You can buy this EV now Sir, or we have one allocated slot for a 1.0 Aygo in 2032 still available. No, I can't guarantee a price, spec or delivery date, but I can take a deposit today."

I beg to differ, it's all to do with the current economic situation, regarding supply and demand. If interest rates weren't so high (mortgages and car finance), then more people would have gone out and bought a GR86 new. There wouldn't have been any problem selling all the cars that came to the...

As mentioned above by ZN8, they're designed to deform on crash, to protect the occupants inside the car. The vertical ribs in the chassis legs are crumple initiation points (thick red circles), so it crumples and folds in a predetermined way, to give a safe outcome. Protecting the car in a crash...

:)(y) It's now down to £26,995 ! 😳 https://used.toyota.co.uk/approved-used/toyota-gr86-coupe-2-4-boxer-d-4s-euro-6-2dr-jt2zn8k81ng002040?___SID=U

Hi, I'd be very careful to ensure any replacement light units are type approved for the market they are to be used in. If the light does not carry the correct approval number, then technically it is an MOT failure, same a fitting non approved bulbs, or the wrong bulb in a light unit. Try...
