You can fit 16in wheels and 205/55 tyres. There's plenty of brake clearance on the front even with 16s. I have Yokohama BluEarth GT tyres and it takes the edge off the ride, although for me I didn't find the 18s especially a problem. It's more for pothole resistance and better response from...

I liked the race 86 sponsored by Crowdstrike 😁

I reset the trip halfway down the M40 back from C&M the other night, and when I got home to Maidenhead it was reading 51mpg. Auto gearbox with Yokohama BluEarth GT eco tyres, 205x55x16 and VPower.

That would be mine (y)

Yeah, I'm going to the Toyota meet on 23rd July, but it will be the Hill for me.

Someone in a red 86 gave me a friendly flash on the road outside the BP Garage on the way out of Marlow. Looked mint (y) First one I've seen on the road I think, apart from my friend's mag grey.

I just assumed the manifold pressure sensor sent back a 8-bit signed int 🤷‍♂️

Very happy with my auto, I also turn off the lane departure warning but I use the adaptive cruise all the time. Works well for me. On track, I tend to keep the gearbox in manual mode (paddles) and crucially it won't upshift if you don't want it to, just keeps hitting the rev limiter. There's...

I've not experienced that myself, usually a little bit of slip is always allowed so you keep going forwards. Perhaps worth getting the wheel sensors checked, might just be a bit of grit or something in one?

They do have one of their own, not sure if there are plans to mod it up though.

Looks good with the body kit, and the red is one of the best colours for it I think, would have gone with that if smurf blue had not been available. Not sure whether it will be as quick as the Yaris on grass, though? Did RRG offer you the off-road package? 😁

I have stock brakes so 16s are the way to go for me (y)

Sliding around in track mode on a track day is enough to get you black-flagged for drifting, er a friend told me. 😇

I don't know if it counts as "in Europe" but Toyota in the UK ran a cheap Gazoo Racing track day at Thruxton last year that went very well. You needed to have a GR car to take part.

Track day at Bedford Autodrome on Monday. Unfortunately was told to stop drifting by 10am 🤷‍♂️ I have eco tyres on my otherwise stock car, and I know some people have complained about understeer on track. What I am consistently finding though, is there is plenty enough torque and grip to...

If you run lower pressure in the tyres, that can prevent heat getting into the tread as the sidewall might flex more. Increasing the pressure might do the opposite, work the tread harder and get more heat into it. Whether or not you want warmer tread and a smaller contact patch, or the other...

Had my first service at Jemca in Reading today, no obvious issues. I don't mind them cleaning and hoovering, so it looks a lot better now than it went in 😁

Yeah, I had an Elise as my daily for a year before giving up on the lack of practicality 😁 It was a 1.6, and I wouldn't write it off as not having enough power. It's the lightest of this shape (2017 year) and although the 0-62 is about the same as the auto 86, the mid-engine layout makes...

I always switch from auto to off and back again if I need to signal appreciation at night time.

Always been free for me. First time I've heard of a dealer charging.
