    Hello from Italy

    Hello from Scotland and welcome to this friendly forum. Is the GRY a new purchase for you and how are you finding it?

    GR86 Oil Consumption and Pressure Issues?

    At the end of the day main dealer techs ‘should’ all be trained to a good level, esp the master techs no matter which MD you visit, however we all know that this is far from reality. Agree engine bay can be dusty but not covered in specks like that, inlet manifold cover is not like that for...

    GR86 Reducing Front End Noise

    Ah how could I omit this very obvious inclusion of a stupid facial expression on a thumbnail overlayed onto what would usually be a good picture of a nice car, with a caption in a mixture of caps and loads of explanation marks. :rolleyes::LOL:

    GR86 Reducing Front End Noise

    Been running with the nameless bars for a while now, everything else is stock and what a difference, done a couple of couple of 2 hour drives on all surfaces and speeds and very happy with the reduction of noise. Motorways especially. My wife welcomes the improved cabin noise comfort so...

    GR86 GR86 - Brake Upgrade Guide

    This is interesting as I feel that I need a better feel/confidence in the OEM brakes, but not sure I want the £££ of a BBK. Unless a set was coming back of a GR and was at a favourable price. Did you go for the braided lines or just the Dot5.1?

    GR86 GR86 - What wheels and tyres are you thinking about?

    Interesting, have similar thoughts about running AS’s on my MX5, as the ambient temp increases I find they roll off when pushing on. For the Scottish climate and how good AS have become I will choose them over a full winter tyre as we have such variable temps in Spring.

    GR86 Scottish Toyota main dealer recommendation (and no I am not pulling your leg!)

    Really…. So the coffee mug didn’t hit the floor when you saw this and screaming WTF loudly?? Do you have a dashcam? If so what did it show?

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Nameless firewall v-brace bars fitted on Sunday and what a difference they make. The bulkhead ‘roar’ noise no longer there and a dramatic bump up in cabin comfort. My wife said to me ‘okay what did you do as this has made a big difference’, job done! So yes , can recommend!

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Was driving through the well-to-do part of Edinburgh this morning, more akin to driving on the moon!!! So nowhere has any hope of smooth roads anytime soon.

    And the real kicker here is that it doesn’t solve the problem and owners are back where they started after a short time.

    Not to be a buzz kill but for those that SORN their cars, are you aware about what this means from a car insurance perspective?

    GR86 Scottish Toyota main dealer recommendation (and no I am not pulling your leg!)

    100% this is how it should be, yet sadly it’s like pulling hens teeth. Aye the extra brake fluid was a nice touch I thought. Out of interest did you have your handbrake adjusted?

    GR86 Scottish Toyota main dealer recommendation (and no I am not pulling your leg!)

    Glad you got it sorted. 2nd service FOC is not to be sniffed at either. Interestingly my handbrake was adjusted on second service (4200 miles) as part of the checks. I am preferring it now as it has less travel before it bites.

    Give Fiona a call and book it in for Ryan’s attention, mention the forum and you’ll be sorted.

    GR86 Scottish Toyota main dealer recommendation (and no I am not pulling your leg!)

    Vowed never to give Newbridge main dealer outlets (any) a single nickel for a few years now, they are lazy, lie and service is something you find under their shoes. Bottom line is it’s Edinburgh, so they don’t have to try (sadly). Of course totally up to you, but given how you are with your...

    Fair play to you, smart looking DIY mod 👏

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    What was wrong with just calling it a dip stick… not PC in the 20’s perhaps? :rolleyes:
