Thats super useful thanks Matt it will make a big difference Im sure to the 86. I have started looking into sound insulation as Im finishing restoring a Land Rover Series 3 hard top and its like driving a giant metal drum so Im hoping to be able to drive it without ear defenders!!
Im chatting to the CTEC guys on DM at the moment and are very helpful so am looking forward to hearing a few more clips, I saw someone was selling a CTEC on here as he had a new 250 mile commute and it was too much but to be honest the road noise would be more of an issue for me on that kind of distance.

The winter wheels and tyres will soon be going on. Grim.

Yup. Was thinking I’d make it to October when the clocks went back, but that might be wishful thinking

Quick coffee stop at Daikoku Nights at C&M the Hill on the way back from Stratford. Always enjoy seeing the OG86 too.
A couple of other GR86s on show - red and sapphire blue on very smart Enkei wheels

Anyone want a newly refurbed set of GT86 wheels with cross climates?

If you still have standard brakes, the GT86 rims will and do fit /ignore if running bigger than standard GR86 brakesForget what I said. The 17’s ain’t gonna fit over the front brakes. Oops!

First battle scar today!
Coming down a country lane and had to get right over into a passing place as some nob had decided to come the other way in a 20 ton lorry. Unfortunately, I didn't see that the tarmac gave way abruptly and as the wheel dropped in the edge of the bumper must have hit the ground. Not fast, but I've shaved a little off the plastic fin thing and there's a bit of a scuff on the paint.
Boo. Still at least it's very low down. I'll have to have the bumper off in a few days to fit the Infinity intake, so I'll just have to get some Chipex in there. Annoying, but could have been worse.

Drove 1100km across Europe in two stints today, car is honestly quite sublime for long distance/time journeys.
Of course, I indulged a little and sent it full chat on the unrestricted sections in Germany, didn't quite get the chance to reach the limiter but had fun. Just passing the one year anniversary of ownership and gosh darn has it been a good one.

First service day today, 5k miles done. Auto recirc button programmed out. Nothing of note to report. Interesting to see Toyota pushing the GR branding more

That partially fallen advertising poster does my napper in …
I noticed the same in Hamilton, a large section with advertising and merch. No fallen posters though.
Just had mine serviced at Oxford Toyota , all good apart from a challenge trying to speak to anyone on the phone at their central call handling office waited nearly 30mins on hold . Once at the dealership it was all professional though, have to say though none of the new cars in the showroom interested me , really appreciate my GR86 now.
Tried to have mine serviced today - been booked for a couple of months. Even called two days ago to make sure they had an oil filter, felt a little patronising asking if a main dealer had an oil filter for one of it's cars, but was re-assured that yes they did.
Having taken the morning off and driven a not inconsiderable distance - dropped car off, just over half an hour later with the car not turning a wheel - it was cancelled, they didn't have an oil filter and Toyota can't tell them when they'll be in stock.
Told in no uncertain terms that they couldn't use a Subaru part, so now just waiting...
Also told that they couldn't use 5w30 oil as it isn't recommended and might due irreparable damage.
I thought Mercedes were bad - supercillious yet slap dash. No hint of supercilliousness from Toyota
Quite annoyed - if the car weren't so good (and the 10yr warranty) I'd never darken their handtowels again

That really is terrible that you can specifically check that they have an oil filter, they confirm that they do...and then they don't. It smacks of whoever taking the phone call just thinking you're being stupid for even asking the question....of course we have a filter, why wouldn't we?! So they just tell you they've checked to get you off the phone. Then they look a bit silly when they don't have it in stock. It's just outright lying to a customer.
Didn't a lot of people have this exact same experience for their services last year as well?
