I haven't come to the GR86 from GT86 ownership, so please excuse a 'noob' question...
I like to do some maintenance bits myself, and had found some videos online showing the tips'n'tricks needed for a GT86 spark plug change, usually involving lifting the engine slightly for improved access!!
I'm assuming this is going to be a similar procedure for the GR86, given that it has the same engine configuration as the GT86 although larger displacement.
Are there any GT86 owners who have experience of spark plug changes themselves, and whether there are any neat ways to do it?
I know this is well down the road into my GR86 ownership, but I do like to over-research things to death!!!

Cheers,
Paul.
 
Yeah I imagine it will be exactly the same, the increase in engine size comes from bore not stroke, so the architecture shouldn't be different.
 
I’ve never owned one So is changing the plugs on these difficult without moving the engine 🤔
 
Boxer engine mate, so those cylinder heads are sideways, I think the clearance between the heads and strut tower is about 2 inches, it's a bit of a pig. I've not done it but I have had the coilpack off and that wasn't straight forward.
 
On a Porsche Cayman you remove wheels and there access in to the Boxer engine’s plugs.
 
60000 miles interval is a long way off before needing sparkplugs changed.
 
May as well drop the engine out and upgrade the rods while you're in there 😁
