GR86 GR86 Pickup checklist
- Thread starter Stardus.
- Start date
Anything 3M will always be fine. My dealer had already stuck them on when I got there though. I had asked for them not to screw them on (only request) but had expected to do that bit myself.

A month in from owning my car and I've just realised I've been running around with low tyre pressure. Should be 2.4 bar, mine showed 2.2. Didn't even think about it as I always work in PSI, and thought 35PSI was "about 2.2 bar" 
Annoyingly you don't seem to be able to change the TPMS dash readout from bar to PSI, so I'd better engrave "2.4" on my mind from now on.

Reminds me that I need to reduce the pressure in mine now I've collected it to reset the tmps to make it show on the dash

Random one… should the front floor matts both have the GR86 logo on them? My driver’s side has it but not the passenger’s. On my GT86 both sides had the branding.

Apparently* the cars with volume knobs an the left have the logo in the passenger side, and those who are right knobbers have the logo on the driver's side.
*May require a fact checking

Ha ha. Planned to check these things, but just saw the car parked up when I arrived, then let the sales guy go through his hand over and all I really wanted to do was get in and go. I did do some checks on the main things, but the plan went out the window.I tried to consolidate all the bits I've spotted dotted around....

Weird, I work in SI units all day long, but for car stuff, imperial just seems right and what I'm used to. And pintsA month in from owning my car and I've just realised I've been running around with low tyre pressure. Should be 2.4 bar, mine showed 2.2.
