    GR86 215 40 r18 alternatives

    Sticking with OEM width - I know they’re a bit pricier than 225s but there looks to be more options available than I’d thought. PS 5’s sound like a good contender from a few 86 users. Just wondering if anyone has tried Pirelli P-Zero (low dB rating 🤔) or Dunlop Sport Maxx, Conti-sport 7 or even...

    GR86 Locking wheel nuts issue

    So, just went to take off a wheel to get a puncture fixed and there’s no sign of the ‘key’ for the locking wheel nuts 🤦‍♂️ Bit of searching on here and it looks like I should have a grey box with the key and 4 normal wheel nuts?? Checked under the boot liner and in the glove box. Can’t really...

    GR86 Headlight message

    It’s happened a few times when I’m listening to the radio - I glance down to the screen and see this message. No idea why. Is it asking me to do something / telling me something has happened / warning me something is about to happen??

    GR86 Sapphire Blue Los Angeles

    Think this is the 4th GR86 I’ve seen in the last couple of weeks around LA. Also a bright blue (forget what they call it over here) a Track B-Red, and also saw one of those nifty orange ones parked up in Pasadena with the Tony tiger stripes and all. What’s really mad is the amount of gen 1 86’s...

    GR86 Adaptive headlights question

    So was just driving home in the dark and noticed the adaptive headlights moving quite noticeably as you turn the steering wheel. Got me wondering what happens on a slightly dampish road / roundabout, say late at night when it’s nice and quiet, and you may need to use a wee touch of opposite...

    GR86 Rubber door trim

    Just washed the car earlier and noticed the rubber trim on the b-post that the windows close against looks a bit tired. Kind of dried out and what looks like small cracks in the rubber? If some of you good folk could have a look at yours and let me know if I’m on me own… ta /

    GR86 That factory security sticker

    I notice some folk have gotten rid of the windscreen sticker and others have left it on - what’s the thoughts? Are they a pita to remove?? Mine is the least adequately aligned thing I’ve ever set eyes on so I’m minded to bin it - are they supposed to be a theft deterrent??

    GR86 GT86 steering wheel better than GR??

    Having driven 3 or 4 facelift GT86s I always thought the steering wheel looked and felt great - like really good leather. And although the GR86 wheel looks like a very similar design, from what I can see in the pics the material (is it leather even?) doesn’t look as good - kind of cheap almost…...

    GR86 EVO car of the year

    Some teaser video clips of this year’s ECOTY on their Instagram stories - GR86 is in the mix alright, but looks like some pretty stiff competition… Does the underdog ever win this?? 😂
