    Post GR86 "Fun" Car

    Apologies to the mods for asking this question in the GR86 Prices thread... As the thread title suggests, My GR is going tomorrow and I want a second "fun" car for around the £10k mark. I'd be happy to go up a little and incur the wrath of SWMBO for the right motor... I'd like something that...

    GR86 Plantar fasciitis

    Random question please. Over the last month or so I’ve developed chronic heel pain in my right foot and I’m beginning to think that it’s because of the low seats in the GR and the weight of my leg being on the heel when I’m in cruise control… I have been playing golf too and pushing a trolley...

    GR86 Mechanical clunk on startup from cold

    I’ve got just over 3,000 miles on the car now and I’ve started to notice a fairly loud clunk from the engine area on startup but only on the initial start from cold.. It sounds like the AC compressor / clutch engaging but it’s louder than any other car I’ve owned.. Has anybody else noticed this?

    GR86 You know you’re too old when

    Your new GR86 causes chronic plantar fasciitis which you can only associate with lifting your right leg in at an unnatural angle to avoid kicking the sill when getting in the car 🥹 Bloody agony.. Hopefully it’ll wear off
