    GR86 Recommendation for Group1 Guildford Toyota at Service

    Well this is a first! I'm actually recommending and 100% please about the service (both customer and car!) received last week at Guildford Toyota. Yes they're a GR centre which might help but they seemed to know how to treat the GR products and what GR customers might like/prefer. Besides some...

    GR86 Overly sensitive throttle mapping - Solution found :-)

    Hi - grab a cuppa... So a side subject of 'Jerky acceleration when cold?' which might help those who like me feel the throttle is too sensitive and aggressive in many situations. For me it is a bit of a pain when driving in traffic or slow situations and a jaunt across Wales showed it up in my...

    GR86 Winter wheel & tyre advice

    Hi, no doubt this has been done this time last year but I wanted to see what the latest recommendations are for wheels and tyres? Im happy to buy a cheap set of wheels (steel would be fine) and winter tyres rather than swapping tyres over each season, but looking online for steel wheels or...

    GR86 Replacement Tyres & Noise

    Hi all I've started to see that people are replacing their standard tyres with other makes / types and wondered if anyone had found a significant reduction in road noise in doing so? Reports that the Michelin PS4 tyre is a noisy one but on the tyre labels its no louder than any other sport tyre...

    GR86 GT86 vs GR86 Exhaust fitments

    Hi I know there is an exhaust thread but thought this might be specific enough to have its own, Im considering an experiment with a 2nd cat delete and on the GT86 there is a relatively cheap straight pipe option - e.g. Berk Technology Test Pipe (BT8603) which is OEM fitment for the GT which is...

    GR86 What (non performance) mods have you done to improve life with the 86?

    So for most of us we're 8-10 months into ownership and there have been plenty of items people have mentioned which have improved the 86 in your opinion? I wasn't going to performance mods as thats got its own threads/area but examples being from LED interior lights to changing the clutch spring...

    GR86 GR86 paint seems very thin

    Hi All I gave the 86 a wash this morning as its been a few weeks however I was a little concerned how weak/thin the paint is on the car, making it more obvious is the undercoat to the silver seems to be dark grey/black making every mark stand out more. Inspecting the paint chips closer the depth...

    GR86 What optional extras would you have paid for if you had the choice when buying the GR86?

    As the title says. Imagining there were a list of options, not Porsche customisation (or prices) but a few things that you'd choose to add if Toyota had offered, I did my first long distance drive this weekend and over the 1000 mile mark so I've had some time to mull it over while sat in BH...

    GR86 GR86 Snagging List - Resolved Items

    I was wondering whether anyone has had any work/fixes done on their 86 since taking delivery? Thing I wanted to know the most is whether you've asked for something to be looked at and Toyota have fixed/resolved it. With only the demo car and short demo drive for comparison it would be good to...

    GR86 Jerky acceleration when cold?

    Quite likely similar to the clutch thread, Im finding the throttle very jerky when the engine is cold as in first thing in the morning when the blue 'warning light' is on, trying to drive off smoothly is almost kangaroo effect unless you push the throttle much further which then basically...

    Sold New 72 plate GR Yaris Circuit - Scarlet Flare - Delivery Due 11th Nov

    Hi all I've a new GRY in Scarlet Flare due to be delivered to my local dealer on 11/11. However since ordering the GRY, Toyota announced the GR86 and I am lucky to be having one of those being delivered 'soon', so I had to make a choice and the GR86 makes more sense for me as a forever car. (I...

    Hi All I've a GRY coming in Sept according to the dealer (18 months post order), Im not 100% sure whether I'll actually take it as I've a GR86 now on order which is more suitable. Has anyone managed to transfer an order to someone else so they're the first owner, or sold almost immediately...

    Will the UK Get more GR after the GR86/GRY/2024?

    I hoped the GR Corolla would come to the UK as it looks like a brilliant hot hatch and maybe more 'daily' than a GRY, Im very thankful I have a tbc date on a confirmed GR86 but if the reason for not bringing the GRC to the UK was to maintain a 3 car GR line up in all markets, then when the 86...

    GR86 Goodwood FoS - GR86 Close up

    Saw the GR86 in real life for the first time yesterday at FoS and managed to sit in it for a while. All I can say is I am so pleased I've managed to get hold of one. From the outside all the proportions look great, its a really nice looking car, I think 19" wheels would really set it off and...
