    GR86 Electric Blue M4 Reading

    On Thursday I was overtaken by an identical electric blue GR86 on the M4 Eastbound as I pulled off towards Bracknell. Such a surprise! We both waved, was it anyone on here?

    GR86 Passenger side tail light required

    Hi, My passenger side rear taillight was cracked by a flying patio table in the recent storms. Have any of you replaced yours and have one spare that you would be happy to sell on? Alternatively do you know where I can obtain one at a reasonable price? Many thanks, Richard

    86 Day Celebration @ Caffeine&Machine - 06/08/23

    It was a brilliant event, even with the showers and was great to see so many 86s in the flesh and fellow forum members. Glad I wasn’t the only one who hadn’t realised the significance of the date and that it was 8/6 day! I took plenty of pictures and videos which I can upload later if someone...

    GR86 Calling all owners in the South

    I think it was you I bumped into outside Morrisons whilst I was walking to Bracknell Station having left my car at work. Couldn’t stop to chat for long or I would have missed my train. I am normally in Bracknell on Wednesdays and Thursdays so a Wednesday evening meet anywhere round Reading fo...

    GR86 Calling all owners in the South

    Me too, I work in Bracknell a few days a week and still not seen another GR86 in the wild so would be fun to see a few together! Mine is Smurf blue though!

    GR86 GR86 Space saver?

    Hi Steve, have you tried fitting it yet to check clearances and see if the jack and brace are up to the job? I will probably go down this route for peace of mind and get a lock down bolt from somewhere to secure the wheel. Many thanks.

    GR86 The number plate thread

    That’s what everyone thinks, and I heard schoolboy sniggers everywhere I went in my old car, but it is an abbreviation of my surname!

    GR86 The number plate thread

    Just received my new plates from https://proplates.co.uk/ and look really good, I went for 330 x 111 front and 406 x 111 rear including a flag and UK sign. Waiting for the shorter front mounting bracket before I fit them.

    GR86 Standard audio - my sound settings

    I changed to the recommended settings before driving home today along the M4 and a detour along Ermin St and they are a massive improvement. Many thanks!

    GR86 Standard audio - my sound settings

    I created a playlist of your reference tunes and everything sounds better before I even changed any of the settings!

    GR86 Real World MPG

    I have not reset my MPG since getting my car and it has now crept up to just over 32mpg after about 1200 miles. I have moved from a diesel A4 convertible that would do nearly 600 miles on a tank and would normally refill it when the range dropped below 100 miles. I definitely need a different...

    GR86 GR86 Confessions

    I am under six foot but with short legs and a long torso and I could do with the seat being a little lower as the top of the steering wheel obscures the indicator and main beam warning lights at the top of the dash. Anyone else have this problem?

    GR86 The GR86 “The Orders / Owners List / GR86 Register”

    Handover was very efficient, car features explained well by Aaron and quite straightforward even though it was the first online handover they had done. Car was prepared perfectly, no marks at all and received the bamboo box and a teddy bear. Only had about a quarter tank of fuel but plenty to...
