    GR86 Differential housing with cooling fins and jack points

    I’ve jacked up off the diff & front central jacking point, just used a block of wood to spread the load, no issues 👍

    Unfortunately since my last trip the GR86 has been mainly used for commuting and visiting family over the festive period, but this weekend it got a bit of track day prep and a run out to the Sunday Scramble at Bicester Heritage. Track day prep first, brake fluid drained and flushed with Motul...

    Another 600 miles added to the GR86 this weekend, and this time all of them to, from, and around some of the best driving roads in Wales 😎 From the cars I’ve experienced the suspension in the 86 is 2nd only to a Lotus Evora which really is ‘magic carpet’ like, the 86 trades the softness...

    Run-in is done! 🎉🎉 I’d forgotten how keen it was to rev and how short the gearing is when youre on it, the few slip road pulls I managed to do this week have just made me more longing to get it on a Welsh b-road!! I phoned up my local Toyota dealership to for a quote for an oil + filter...

    GR86 Oil starvation

    Possibly interesting for people worried about this issue: I found this whilst looking through the user manual yesterday, Toyota seems to recommend using 5w30 oil “if the vehicle is operated at high speeds or under high load conditions”. 0w-20 was selected for emissions reasons and cold starts...

    First outing in the 86 today to C&M in the sunshine 😎 Gave it a quick clean and wax before leaving so it was looking its best, glad I did because the sapphire blue paint looked stunning in the sunshine! First impressions after 100ish miles are: Turn in is really sharp, whilst the...

    My GR86 has just arrived at the dealership! I’d told Toyota I would delay picking it up until Sep to get it on the new 73 plate, but now it’s so close I’m not sure I’m going to be able to resist the temptation to pick it up 😂

    GR86 The GR86 “The Orders / Owners List / GR86 Register”

    Hi all, Got an email at the end of June to say I could spec and order a GR86. Managed to test drive one the same week, loved it, and ordered it in Sapphire Blue Pearl with manual ‘box the same day! I was told by Toyota UK it should be delivered in August, and the MyT app has just notified me...
