Also Realised i forgot to add my to do list 😅: - The infamous window washer fix (as I’ve now got the annoying window click now!). - 3D print myself some wind deflectors: https://www.gr86.org/threads/free-ish-wind-deflectors.5445/ Summer is coming and I like having my windows down. - Some form...

Ah ok, that’s good to know, cheers. Fingers crossed it’s already been done and dusted then. Will report back if I hear anything 👍

Very nearly made this mistake not long ago…thankfully my friendly neighbour let me know!

Thanks 👍 It took 4 days to arrive after they got stock back in. I haven’t received anything from DHL yet…but I understand that it might take a couple of weeks or so for the import fee bill to come through…. After doing some digging it looks like I could be paying an extra £45ish, because the...

Crikey! How is it April already!? Only thing that’s new is I’ve just put on the Aero Cover from Driven.Media. Was £136 inc. delivery - a fair bit cheaper than going for a GR-branded one. Initially it took a while to hear anything after ordering back in the middle of Feb, so I emailed them...

I expect they’re going to wrap it next, as black is a good colour to do so. Probably in a colour that you can’t get. I’m betting on an olive or mint green… 👀

Welcome! Have you got any pics? I think @Beachnut was/is selling a set. The ad has been closed on marketplace but I guess you could send a pm to see if they’re still available 👍

That colour is awesome 😍 I thought that was only reserved for the Hakone edition? Unless it is one 😅

The Emiras do look amazing, especially in hethel yellow. I hope you get a good’un! The v6 does sound great too. I’m sure you’ve done your research, but the paint osmosis thing does seem to be a real issue, think the place I bought my 86 from at the time had 4-5 Emiras in for warranty repairs...

Tbf I have subscribed to the channel, as I’m interested to see what you end up doing (and to see if any of my predictions are right 😜). Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy the car more and more as we all do 👍

Let me guess what’s he’s got planned…. - ADRO carbon bodykit (possibly even the wide bodykit they’ve got on the autoID site) - Coilovers/ lowering springs - Spacers - New Wheels (probably 2forge - also sold by them) - New ‘Zorst - Eventuri Intake - Maybe some Recaros - Brembo (?) BBK - Wrap...

Detour over to C&M on the way to the midlands.

Really enjoyed that. I remember when the GR86 was first introduced and seeing the images of the car for the first time. I thought it looked incredible and I said to myself “I will get one of those someday”. Very nearly put my name down, but I was still very junior in my working life, so couldn’t...

Called up my current insurers (Hastings) to notify them of the modification of my exhaust (HKS Legamax axle back), was subsequently told they wouldn’t insure it with that fitted. Whoops 😂 Cancelled it and scrambled on the comparisons and got another equivalent policy with admiral and the mod...

Managed to score myself a lightly used HKS Legamax Axle Back from eBay this weekend. Collected Saturday and managed to fit it today. I usually manage to make a relatively simple job very difficult, but this was thankfully straightforward! Gives it a real bassy tone on cold start and blips of...

Thanks @grzoostuff and appreciate the link. The black ones should be discrete enough, so I might have a go at these 👍

Sometimes I have to admit I’m an idiot. Kerbed the passenger side wheel last weekend 😭🤬. I would say I didn’t even crunch it that hard, but it’s taken a fair bit of leading edge off 😱 After much swears and a cry, I decided to give it fixing it a go and making it look less horrid. Some...

Parking attendant at work today wandered over to take a look at the 86, to be fair to him he knew exactly what he was looking at, as he had the “GR sport” variations of the RAV4 and a Corolla (I think?) - so understood the whole GT to GR branding. He also said to let him know if I was ever...

The red Brembos look so good! 😍

Quick jaunt down to the hut today. With another nice Toyota on display. (That rhymes, doesn’t it? 😅)
