GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

F**ksticks.

Today I discovered a substantial stone chip on the front:

Thumb shot attached for reference. Note that I do have quite petite hands/thumbs so this may look worse than it is to more sausage-fingered comrades.

Also - no thumb-shaming please; I'm between manicures.

I haven't got around to acquiring a touch-up kit as yet.

Give me an hour, some rags and a can of GT85 spray - then let me loose on that engine bay of yours! 😇
Have at it. I have a barely touched bottle of AG Engine & Machine cleaner in the garage. Used it a grand total of once, years ago on my GT, I'm not sure I can be bothered again.

That sucks, but I wonder if it might be karma for all the sly digs you've made at PPF fanciers in the past... :D

I didn't think it looked bad, if you're down here you can do mine whilst you're at it 😅
I had to lift the cover to take this photo a few minutes ago, so if this'll do you as a 'starter' then I'll get my train ticket booked eh?
It's due a little bit more of a fettle tomorrow as I'm at a local car show on Sunday and I'm gonna have the bonnet open for viewing; hence I'm wanting the car to look its best ;)

Noice, where?
small local track in Sosnova, Czechia. There is a decent organizer that hosts these events that are just 3 hours long, which is enough for me and my car and I am not overpaying for time that I wouldn't use anyway. Also the owner of the track doesn't mind powerslides/light drifts, making it very popular in the local 86/BRZ community.

Despite having to do manual labour on the weekend I couldn't stand to have my car sat there with new wheels on but covered in filth.

I really shouldn't have committed to the hand Polish, but now it's done, with a fresh coat of wax I'm glad I did. I'm going to sleep well tonight!

I cant wait for the admiring looks from the twenty-something lads in town when I go to pick up my kebab later 🏳

Had to take a couple more pics
