That is my concern too. I had to clean some coffee stains out of the cupholder and the gearknob was terribly scuffed presumably from someone wearing rings.
I have worries about it being ragged during break-in and damaged cylinders and piston rings. Would abuse from a previous owner be covered...
Have owned my GR86 for a year now.
On taking ownership the Toyota dealership told me it had its fluids changed. Just to be cautious I took it to Fensport for an oil change and Lanoguard treatment.
Between then and my first Toyota service (6 months / 6k miles) I had to top up about 1L of oil...
So took the car to Toyota a few weeks ago as it has been consuming a lot of oil since purchase a year ago. Told that there's no visible leaks and that they couldn't find anything wrong. Did the PCV valve test by taking the filler cap off while idling and felt positive pressure.
Opened the hood...
Had some TOM'S bits arrive from Japan a few weeks back. Gave the car a clean and put the new bits in. New steering wheel and PCV valve arriving next week.

These are direct upgrades if you want a beefier "honk". I'm quite content with the Roadrunner "meepmeep" our cars do.
If you want to go crazy there are Hella Horns which Grimmspeed do a wiring harness for. Some of those things hit 120db+ which is absolutely mental for...
Haven't done anything as such but after dealing with excessive oil consumption for a while did the oil filler test for pressure... blowing. Looks like it's new PCV valve time.
So I tried following some US guides and am fairly certain there's a little more space to work with once you get one small panel off. It's to the right of the start button and leads below the steering wheel, there's a black Philips-head, Undo that and start pulling the panel from the bottom...
Couple of night shots of the Lexus switch. The light is definitely dimmer than the OEM button but adds a little class, in my humble opinion. The supplied bezel sits raised over the surrounding plastic. I followed another owner's idea and swapped the OEM bezel onto it so it sits flush with the...
HKS Legamax Premium axleback for sale. Originally purchased from Fensport.
Had this on my car for about 9 months. The perfect muffler for an OEM+ sound; nice, bassy rumble in lower RPMs but remains civil in the powerband.
Comes with the original gasket and spring bolts unused.
Can potentially...
I recently installed a Viofo A229 Pro (front and rear) dash cam using a wiring adapter from Hachi Electronics in the US.
The adapter utilises the ASC plug in the side of the glovebox for power with two cable options: one with ASC delete and one with pass-through. I opted for pass-through as I...
Funnily enough the Overtake driveshaft lockdown looks to be an improvement over the Perrin design and it caught my eye recently. It's a cool mod and I can see it putting down more whp at the wheels but two things concern me:
Extra wear on thrust bearings and harshness with less than perfect rev...
