Took the car for its first MOT at the weekend, nothing of note apart from the tyres. Then found out that Nakai from RWB was over the road cutting up Porsches

Rubber mats from Japan. Noticed some wear to the carpet below the accelerator pedal where that odd ridge is, and these protect that area.
Not the nost attractive but functional.

Just had a pleasant afternoon giving this a good polish - old school Autoglym Super Resin polish followed by Extra Gloss Protection.
(Doors to do next time I wash it, arms were aching!)

Not exactly a 'with my GR86', more of a 'for my GR86' post. Collected my Bola FLE wheels from Skidz in Falkirk where they underwent a further powder coating after I rejected the first one. The first attempt with 'Copper Glitter' (imported from Prismatic Powders in the USA) didn't go well; the colour was thin even after 4 coats with the silver base showing through on sharp edges, as well as looking more like burnt Orange than the Copper effect I wanted and as shown on Prismatic's website. So I cut my losses and went with a simple Gloss Bronze instead. On a positive note, it was Craig at Skidz that asked me to come through because he wasn't happy with how the coating had gone on, he also wore the first powder and import costs from the USA, as well as giving me a discount on the work for my troubles. Excellent customer service as always. Photo to be inserted below once I've unloaded them from the truck… Done:
Did the Thruxton skid pan and Paddock Skill course yesterday.
There was a Jag type F R, a bmw m4 with 500hp and a Lotus Evora GT410.
Managed the fastest lap around the skid pan but never really got the hang of maintaining the drift.
The paddock bit was fun but hard on car.
Does anyone have heard their diff doing a noise like a tac tac tac? It happened whenever I was turning hard and maintained the lock. Today I did some driving in tight ciecles but at a much slower pace and the sound was not there.
Took passenger rides in all cars, difficult to choose between the 3. The jag noise was very nice, the bmw had massive push but a heavy one to slow down. The lotus sounded great but the owner was still getting used to it. The gr86 had by far the best handling.
