    :LOL: I'll let you know when I fit mine :-)

    GR86 Reducing Front End Noise

    Many thanks - and that's a great idea. Right, that's the same one ordered up and I'll take the same approach, much easier. Have you noticed any difference to the droning? I don't expect it will make much difference to the overall noise until I change the tyres but the lack of the resonance on...

    GR86 Reducing Front End Noise

    Did you end up fitting the 22mm Blue hose you ordered up? Considering buying the same stuff myself. Cheers.

    Switching from GR Yaris to GR86?

    Mine was black - made it really aggressive looking. I'm finding myself taking the GR86 out for a drive each evening since I've got it - I didn't do that every day when I got the GRY. Says everything.

    Switching from GR Yaris to GR86?

    @Lauren - I'm having to get used to holding the gears - as I'm so used to changing up pretty quickly with the GRY. Feels like the engine is screaming in the GR86 when I'm doing less than 5k - lol :-) Completely agree re 3rd gear, I was finding that the other night when I went for a back road...

    Switching from GR Yaris to GR86?

    Well, sold my GR Yaris last week and picked up a GR86 - been an owner for 3 days now. Initial impressions over the GRY (convenience pack) - so of the less positives to start with. Much firmer ride - made the GRY feel like it was a magic carpet. Seating position of course MUCH lower than the...

    Switching from GR Yaris to GR86?

    Many thanks Lauren - your summary is what I hoped it would be :) The four years I had my GT86 was the longest I've held onto a car, which says everything - and only sold it to move in the GRY.

    Switching from GR Yaris to GR86?

    Well, yesterday went to my local A110 dealer in Glasgow and took the A110 GT out for a drive and loved it. What a car, so light, amazing suspension compliance, lovely pickup, engine noise, popping exhaust in Sports mode, nice gearbox, lovely steering, etc, etc. As good to drive as you'd expect...

    Switching from GR Yaris to GR86?

    I'm based around Stirling, so Arnold Clark in Glasgow in the closest to me too. I agree about the dry weather being a must :-) I love the GRY, but the GT86 I had felt more special to sit in and I enjoyed the lower speed fun.The GRY is incredible at speed and the best drive I've ever had was...

    Switching from GR Yaris to GR86?

    Will do - though might be in a few weeks time. Nearest one to me is outside of Glasgow, so only an hours drive away. No GR86's for sale locally (nearest is a dealer in Aberdeen) - so might be a while before I sample one of those.

    Switching from GR Yaris to GR86?

    The reliability and warranty of the GR86 is always very appealing. Certainly going to test drive both the GR86 and the A110 to see how close they are and whether it warrants the price difference. Also going to throw in a 718 test drive too. I really like the Alpine interior + engine note from...

    Switching from GR Yaris to GR86?

    Really interesting reading this reply Lauren. I'm just over 2 years ownership of my GR Yaris, only done 6k miles in it but love the mechanical feel and the car in general (I'm mid 50's and had modified Impreza's back 15-20 years ago). Prior to the GR Yaris I had a GT86 for 4 years and I adored...

    GR Yaris Seating postition really that high?

    I'm 6' 4" (193cm) and got my car last Thursday. Don't have an issue with the driving position at all - very comfy and my head doesn't touch the roof. I'm in proportion, so I guess it depends a lot on whether one has a bias towards a greater torso length. I came from a GT86, so very different...
