    GR86 The White and yellow one

    Sounds like the same as applying the Lanoguard. In the end, used an old spray bottle, put some of the Lanoguard in, which I had warmed up, which seemed to help, and then had a fine more manageable spray, which you could nicely apply on the actual part that you wanted covering, rather than all...

    GR86 The White and yellow one

    The ACF 50 mentioned above, is that an alternative to Lanoguard? I have used Lanoguard on my daily, and seems ok, easy to apply, no nasty chemicals (basically sheep fat/Lanolin ) but is quite messy to apply. Am thinking about protecting the underneath of my GR86, but deciding which is the best...

    Indeed, they are smoked chrome. I originally thought about Black Chrome, but felt that would have been a little to dark👍 I kept my original wheels as spares, as managed to get hold of a set from someone who was changing their wheel design, and they do look quite dull and dowdy when next to the...

    Took couple of wheels off this morning to give a good spring clean, and thought a couple of pictures. You just carn’t beat a bit of car porn😉🤣👍 It’s probably me, but just love to see clean wheels with brake calipers😎👍

    Good move, I went for the Cobra non res one. Made a welcome improvement to the sound track👍 Not too loud, but it now sounds more like a sporty car👍

    GR86 K & N Panel Filter

    Thanks Sonic, much appreciated👍 In your opinion, Is the panel filter a worthwhile option, or do you think the cold air intake is a better option? Car only used weekends and high days, never likely to go on a track. Just looking for a bit more of an oral sound (to compliment the cobra back box)😉🙂

    GR86 K & N Panel Filter

    Have been away from the forum for far to long, due to life getting in the way! So, not being too mechanically minded, was thinking of replacing the standard air filter with a K & N panel filter. My questions are:- Is this a straight replacement? Would it affect the warranty? Many thanks.

    GR86 TPMS - Help

    Quick update. Was talking to my neighbour who has recently moved in, and the subject of cars came up, as he was looking at the Gr. Turns out he runs his own garage. Told him about the change of wheels and Toyota’s charge for re-programming the new I’d codes for the new tpms’s for the new set of...

    GR86 TPMS - Help

    Thanks for all the replies guys👍 I think it will be a trip to my local tyre place in the morning, and it’s only about a mile from where I live, so getting all 8 wheels there will be no problem👍 Every day is a school day, as they say👍 Surely you would think that a Toyota dealership would know...

    GR86 TPMS - Help

    Hi all, a bit of help/ guidance require please. So, earlier in the year, I bought another set of wheels from a guy that was selling them to get some after market wheels for his 86. I had them powder coated to smoked crome before fitting as wasn’t overly keen on the black stock wheel colour...

    What’s your daily driver? (If your GR is your weekend toy)?

    Also use this as our mile muncher/out in all weathers car. £30 road tax and seems to go forever between fill ups👍

    What’s your daily driver? (If your GR is your weekend toy)?

    This works very well for us. As the GR is realistically a 2 seater, it gives us plenty of flexibility, and can carry larger items with no problem, and also reasonable economical.

    GR86 TPMS - New Wheels

    Bought a spare set of wheels that are from another GR86, who’s owner decided to put some aftermarket wheels on. Decided to change the colour before fitting them onto my car. After fitting them, it has brought the tpms light on, and have lost the figures on the read out. Although the new wheels...

    You will not be disappointed👍 Had mine on a few months now, and am delighted with it. Also went for the non resonated centre pipe, I think the resonated pipe may be a tad quiet! It’s not overly loud, but definately know it’s there👍👍
