    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Nah, Japanese are known for their mascots - regions/cities have them, companies do and some are created for events as well. Furries are an invetion of the west unfortunately 🤮

    GR86 "Change of circumstances"

    I've done the same in the GT86, which is a very close experience. In short - the road noise will start getting to you and depending on the mods you have (aftermarket exhaust) it might get annoying. I actually attribute my tinnitus to driving this way with a Cobra exhaust :ROFLMAO:

    Hopefully there will still be time in around a year! For now I will switch to a cheap daily (probably my 3rd Honda Civic mk9 :LOL: ), though I had a brief look for older JDM cars... What would zoo members do? Would you daily any other JDM cars?

    Sold my car yesterday, "change of circumstances" etc. :cry: Didn't realise it but it was the best car I had and now I miss it. Technically my last photo (and next one the actual last photo of it I took):

    GR86 Air Conditioning Recharge

    I went through this with my other car recently. It was regassed by a dealer less than a year ago and as they did no test to check for leaks the problem re-occurred. The dealership told me they couldn't find a leak, but I shouldn't be worried as this time they added a 'dye' to spot any leaks the...

    By the way, does anyone know if the insurance Toyota asks to agree to on their rentals is mandatory or can I decline it? I think they mentioned it’s the excess insurance, in which case I wouldn’t take them up on their offer.

    Booked in for diagnostics. Of course they wouldn't be themselves if they didn't warn me about £180 ( :eek: ) fee if the issue was found to be not covered by warranty... But I can't see how it wouldn't. I'll top it up again before going just in case, but I don't really do many miles to keep...

    I took the nozzle out and tried 3 times, it clicked pretty much immediately.

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    I tried topping up the tank today as it was only one bar and 16miles range left, but it only took 25 litres in and when I got inside I saw this. This is also after my recent trip, when I was running out of fuel and stopped at BP on the M1 as an emergency. And I swear it only only went from...

    All models All DIY Detailing Things

    I am very sceptical it's actually working... either way, wouldn't it be cheaper and more 'sustainable' to buy some neodymium magnets and drop to the bottom of your own bucket? So you don't have to use their 'proprietary' design?

    GR86 PH Buying Guide

    "This kind of painting by numbers thinking is ruining driver engagement though, why have a manual at all when having to shift is bringing down your 0-60?" sounds like a bunch of bus wankers that whole forum not to mention they wouldn't even know that the auto is the slower one

    GR86 Dog Carrying.

    We use car safe, like Millik above, which is crash tested for 30mph (I doubt any solution is really safe for higher speeds, but seeing as its the only brand that boasts tests and certifications is good enough for me). It stops our dogs from moving, as they're strapped to the seatbelt and the...

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    Smelled burnt oil after 20 minutes of spirited driving followed by 20 minutes of A road driving in traffic. Don’t know what to check for but I remember this happening before… To add to the injury it happened as my wife called to be rescued, after her Civic developed a split in a pipe...

    GR86 Insurance

    I went with Policy Expert this year, silver cover (lowers the excess to £100, with £250 voluntary, making it £350, covers windshield which bronze didn't). Came to about £480, much lower than last year's with Chris Knott but I'm mostly happy that I don't have a £900 excess on the cover anymore 🥹...
