GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

[Bathroom_Security]

Got both doors unlocking with "comfort unlock" on the drivers door handle. Also got the windows opening and closing from the key.

Well come on then tell us.

Today was a good day.

You inspired me, another unnecessary drive to go to supermarket.

In our GR86s, there is no such thing brother

Spoiler on, now I desperately need to wash it next Saturday ready for Japfest!

Wow, 4 hours just for fun.

How far away from home did you get? Any great roads worth mentioning?

Hahaha absolutely love this!

Funnily enough I was going to go yesterday and I got to near dorking and realised I lost track of time and had to turn back.

In other news.

I fitted a boot closing strap thanks to the very handy guide by @PVGR

Turned out I had all the bits already as I was using the strap as a keyring! Mine is red I'd have definitely bought one if I didn't have it already.

...now to go key ring shopping!

I'll be printing some black plastic covers to go over the nut & thread!

Not played GT7 since getting my 86. That was weird as it really does feel the same. Feels even weirder when you're then expected to take Dad for a meeting in it. That felt very odd. Especially when moments before I was sliding a virtual one about

Did a wash

Put the sealant

Did 2 small jobs yesterday, fitted bonet struts, and finally got around to fitting my wind deflectors that came with the car, I didn't want to play £100 for fitting, but in the instructions it suggests a minimum temp of 20 degrees so this was the first opportunity I had

 

[chopper602]

@Hicko could you tell me where you got the bonnet struts from please ?

 

[WWGR86]

Some minor mods, would have liked a quad cam on the rear but happy with it for now - also needs a wash.
On the look out for a carbon fibre bonnet next...

Hello,

As a owner of the Peral white GR86, do you find your side skirt colour are a little bit mismatching?

I found my two side skirt are matching the rear bumper on their own but not sure why I keep noticing that the colour of two side skirt are slightly mismatching.

I guess that`s the downside of hving a pearl white car.

 

[--Rage--]

Went to pick up some stickers and I found a friend!
