GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

I treated it like bike run in which has much finer tolerances. First 500mile I stuck to not going over 4k, then allowed myself to use 1000rpm more every 150 miles or so over the 500 until complete. But I wasn't using more every trip, only when circumstances called for it. Under 4k on my commute is the norm anyway. But the courtesy bike I just gave back only had 200 miles on, gave it back with 500 and it saw limiter on the first slip road from dealer. It run completely fine and was even doing better mpg when I dropped it off.

Any feedback after the gear lever adjustment... Was it worth the effort?

My gear change was a bit notchy and I adjusted the plate. Deffo made a positive difference. I did the popsicle stick method but it wasn’t quite right, so I basically drove around for a few days with the plate accessible and adjusted it on the fly until it felt best.
 
A few people have mentioned the notchy gear change. My cars change is really nice. Has anyone driven more than one GR 86 and noticed a difference in the rear changes. We have some reviewer saying it’s a bit notchy and others describing it as one of the better change out there.
Just wondering is this a production tolerance issue that can be addressed with this online adjustments

The gear change on the demo I drove (less than a hundred miles on it) and my own car have both been fine.

Although perfectly pleasant when I took delivery, mine felt noticeably better after 300 miles or so and is great now.
 
Premiere: first time as a show car at Europe's biggest JDM event "Reisbrennen" at the Lausitzring, Germany.

Whilst reading the manual (mad huh?) to see if there was a max size for the USB drive I was about to buy for music, I found out the car plays video if it's not moving.
Tried a random MP4 of one of the dogs picking a treat and it works a charm.

Useful if you sit in your car for lunch and want to watch videos? Doubt I'll ever use it :ROFLMAO:

Well you can't leave us in suspense like that! Is the treat eventually chosen the one the dog is sniffing? Was there an attempt to take more than one treat? I have so many questions dammit!

What is the max size? Does it need to be a specific VIDEO directory or just in the root?

Didnt find the max size! My 32gb one works fine but my 2tb ssd didn't, probably as it needs to be fat32.

I just lobbed it in the root drive but you can navigate through the directories much like music files.
 
Another 60 miles today running errands.

Started the day with one very happy toddler being dropped off at nursery - she loves dad's "red car".

Then 240kg of play sand in the boot for a sandpit for my son's first birthday this weekend. Could have easily taken twice as much, although the steering went a little light.

Then this evening, somehow, managed to get lost nipping to the local shop for some beers.

As a semi practical sports car, the GR86 is proving hard to beat!

Is that a personal plate? I thought all Scottish plates started with an S ?

Nope, not a personal plate. Because the cars are registered by Toyota online, rather than the local dealer, you don't get local plates on the cars. Seems a fair proportion of the second batch start with a W.

I think WV is Bristol.

Edit - beaten to it.
 
I managed to pick up a small stone chip on the windscreen yesterday 😟🤬, I'm not sure where it came from as the other road traffic was some distance away.

Will keep an eye on it and may see if its big enough / worth having it filled, as it is fairly small.

With my previous experience with having a screen changed on the GT86 I am praying I don't have to go down that route.
