    They've been testing a properly hardcore version of the Yaris round the 'Ring so presumably the GRMN label will be applied to that one if they choose to release it.

    This post is just a heads up for now boys and girls πŸ‘ My 2013/13 Toyota GT86 Auto will be coming up for Sale in the Near Year and replaced with a Brand New Car πŸ˜› Will offer the car as a Private Sale on here first, but failing all that then the car will be Part Exchanged instead! As I still have quite a few of the original parts, they will of course be put back on the car and therefore will have a few parts for Sale in due course πŸ‘ Some parts will be retained and put onto the New Car, but meanwhile here's a link to my Build Thread via the RX-8OC : https://www.rx8ownersclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=52793 Am willing to do a deal with a Member on here in swapping out my Custom Built Exhaust System for a Standard System from their car and a friend of mine would do this at his house or place of work πŸ‘ Will let you all know when the New Car is on order and the Private Plates are on their way off the car, so as the original number plates can be put back on the car πŸ˜› That's it for now.................................

    No. The clutch is only showing minor wear and as I'm not keeping the car I didn't see the point in throwing money away

    After reading this I finally bought one for mine. It’s amazing how fresh and updated the inside of the car feels when you get rid of the standard yellow/white light for the bright white. I can find all my stuff now when getting in and out of the car.

    Yes, I found them good. Bright White and no tinge. I actually find the vanity mirror ones perhaps too bright! They are easy to swap and cheap so I figured it was worth giving them a go. No issues to report having had them in for about a year now.

    Mine's currently in at Yeoman's Eastbourne. Master Tech took it out for a spin and then spent some time discussing the supercharger installation and how he'd do it. I got a video this morning with recommendations for a new clutch and release bearing, I knew it was a bit noisy so decided to go for it anyway.

    I like the new exterior, its grown on me over the last few days. But its that dash it feels dated before its even out and really does remind me a of an early 2000's MR2.

    Finally phoned up and have got my car booked in to Beadles Medway on the 14th. Been a bit worried and had a few concerns, but the girl on the phone gave me the details of the service manager, so I sent him an email asking about including servicing, clutch, spark plugs, etc, as well as informing him about my modifications. I also thought I'd be blunt and ask about how many recalls they'd done due to the issues other owners have been having. He phoned me back within 30 minutes and we've just had a chat about it. They've done between 10-20 recalls he said, and so far, only a couple of cars have come back for minor oil leaks and such - no catastrophic failures for any cars they've worked on. Which has put my mind at ease a bit. Should be getting a full service and new spark plugs at the same time. I've enquired about a clutch, but I am going to let him know, as I'm considering whether it's worth going for an aftermarket replacement. I don't plan of adding any more power, but I've been told putting in an Exedy clutch would be a good upgrade. Any opinions would be welcome - I don't want to do anything that will feel any different.
