    Not had the chance yet - but it will be a big wave 👋 or thumbs up 👍🏻 or flash 💡or all of the above!

    GR86 Bang and clank when driving away in GR86 - brake bind?

    Anyone had this? I’m not mechanically minded so all help welcome! I drove off the drive today and heard an alarming bang followed by a metal clinking. Almost sounded like something fell off, so I stopped and checked around the wheels and the ground and couldn’t see anything amiss. Same thing...

    It was my first Zoo event at Japfest today. Fabulous to see so many super GRs all together! Thanks for organising - and to everyone I met for making me and my wife feel welcome.

    GR86 Weird fluid / grease in engine bay

    Phew! Just opened the bonnet for a quick oil check, not noticed this green stuff all over the place before, panicked for a few minutes, and then consulted ‘the zoo’. You’ve saved my sanity and weekend with this thread - thank you! 🙏

    GR86 Spotted at Oulton Park British GT

    Someone’s silver 86 looking splendid - clearly found a nice spot away from the mud-bath that was the rest of the car park!

    GR86 White 86 at Charlecote Park

    A joy to see a lovely white GR86 at Charlecote Park. Excellent example of petrolhead parking in the space furthest from any other cars! (unluckily I happened to be driving the Mini today so my 86 still hasn’t met another one in the wild yet!)

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Here’s pics with and without OEM mud flaps @gearFX (ignore that the car is muddier afterwards!) Hard to see them at all when indoors on a dark colour car .

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Mud flaps finally fitted this morning by the dealer. Woo hoo! The dealer left the car unwashed as requested. They said they don’t wash GR cars and most owners prefer that!

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Fun drive on Staffordshire B-roads this morning. This may already be well known but it’s new to me - I found the stock exhaust can pop on downshifts when it gets hot enough - though it’s quite a rare treat! 💥 Also installed Road Hero spare wheel in the boot floor this afternoon - thanks...

    GR86 Interior stickers on B pillar?

    Ha ha same for me! Love these little details on this forum! Dealer left mine on and I only spotted them when vacuuming. Kept them on for now while it still feels like a new car - will remove in a bit.

    GR86 Clutch clunk

    Cheers for sharing @MatC .Yes I get a clunk into first too. Similar experience to @midlife_sportscar - for me it happens when at a standstill and switching from neutral to first, not when engaging the clutch or in motion. Also had slight burning smell in reverse after a couple of hundred...

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    100 mile round trip from Birmingham to Powys Castle in Wales. Drove just for fun to get out of the city and onto some sweeping country roads - such a joy in this car! I used this old evo article for inspiration. If you can recommend sources for short fun driving routes I’d love to hear about...

    GR Yaris Spotted in Stourport

    Thank you and a friendly wave to the red GRY driver who kindly gave me plenty of road space while I figured out what lane I should be in on Stourport’s one way streets today. Excellent road manners on this forum!

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Joined the 1000 mile club today! My rather slow average of 27 mph is testament that you don’t need to be going fast to enjoy this car! (a lot of urban commuting included)

    Initial-G’s sapphire GR86 As it’s the end of the year and I’m finally kicking off my members cars thread. (Sorry long post - catching up since ordering in July 2023). Collected in October 2023 from Inchcape Derby GR centre. It was a big moment to pull the cover off the car for the showbiz...
