Don't panic, fuses are there for protection and electrical discrimination should mean only the fuses closes to the fault will blow, this isn't always the case but you can methodically go through to make sure everything functions. Having a multimeter would be helpful to confirm power at various places along with continuity.

Arguably the ultimate headunit for the GT86/BRZ, 200mm wide, so integrates perfectly into the dash with no ugly fascia plates required. Features wireless Android Auto and Apple Car play. Accommodates multiple cameras. Built for RHD cars so the soft touch buttons are located on the driver side for convenience. The inbuilt DSP is very good, made a noticeably difference to the sound quality of the stock JBL setup, has an ultra crisp HD screen. Would love it in my GR86 but it wouldn’t fit. Also has wireless mirroring feature which means you can run non AA/CP apps like torque pro.
Like new condition, not a single mark on it. Complete with original packaging, wiring harnesses, remote, microphone, GPS sensor and manual. Dead easy installation as it’s built for Toyotas. Complete with adaptor for the aerial (optional extra) and home made cable to retain the USB and 3.5mm use.

If in doubt, consult the good old manual;
Fuel types
EU area:
Unleaded gasoline confirming to European standard EN228, Research
Octane Number of 98 or higher
Except EU area:
Unleaded gasoline, Research Octane Number of 98 or higher
If unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 98 RON is not available,
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 95 RON may be used with no
detriment to engine durability or driveability.

I have 20mm up front and 25mm rear, gives a nice fitment.

Get some 15mm Eibach hubcentric bolt on (System 4) spacers Jay. That will do the trick and fill the arches nicely, they also do them in black which would suit your black on black combo.
Lots of internet myths on the safety of spacers. There is nothing wrong with them as long as you stick with a reputable brand and understand what you are doing.
-
Not so much the fact its conical, just that its not enclosed in a housing. Which is hardly surprising as its been known for literally decades that situating a air filter inside an engine gets heat soaked, it just the usual desperation to get YouTube video hits.

That looks stunning. Fortunately Bluewater has enough spaces for you to keep away from door smashers.

I can't see any reason for it. I bought mine with the Reyland discs, I couldn't justify a reason to pay the extra money for the AP. Originally the difference between the 2 were the AP having curved vents within the discs and the Reyland were straight so the APs would have better heat management but Reyland now offer a curved vent option for another £50 IIRC.

Thanks, I was ready to try something very different for 2022 but the situation surrounding this car is Europe has twisted my arm enough to commit to it. I think my fiancé is more excited than me at the minute lol.
I have no further official information on spec other than what Lauren has already put, my deposit is probably more of a gentleman's agreement at this stage as opposed to an official Toyota action. From what I've gathered from other European countries and what's being fed to the US, the colour palette you see is what will be offered to the UK, so unfortunately, as lovely as it is, there will be no Scarlet Flare, but the colour codes do appear different from the GT86. Don't expect much movement on order books until at least the end of Q1, deliveries being late Q2 or longer by the sounds of it.
In terms of spec differences I'm putting it out there and going with;
Base
17 inch 2 tone (black with machined face) alloy wheels on Primacys, cloth interior non heated seats, keyless entry, dual climate, headunit with AA and Car play, 6 speaker audio, no ducktail spoiler
Premium
18 inch (satin black) wheels on PS4s, 'ultra suede' half leather heated seats, keyless entry, dual climate, headunit with AA and Car play, 8 speaker audio with amplifier, ducktail spoiler (optional?).
Options?
Probably parking sensors, boot fitted subwoofer and perhaps the red carpet interior? but then again that might be a Japan only option, along with the larger 9" headunit.
Don't take this as gospel but I am 90% certain its going to be along those lines.

Hmmm didn't realise the car is a Cat N. That does change things, It would marginal. I like the idea of the relax warranty I didn't know that was a thing.
-
Given how much you paid for the car then it's definitely financially viable to have the engine replaced or rebuilt. A decent condition 2012 must be worth about double that.
Where did you get a 10 year warranty / 100000miles from it? It was never offered on the GT86.
-
Lovely colour although not one for me. I'm a fan of the red carpet gives it a JDM/Honda feel, I wonder if that will be an option for the UK. The door cup holders look more useful which is nice, the door grab doesn't exist like the old car so it wont foul.

50 minutes ago, Conscript said:I don't know. Really quite like the look of them as a replacement. But I've never bought a brand new car, always thought it a bit of a waste of money, and would usually rather go for a used approved car that's a little older.
However, if there's only 400 coming to the UK, and they are touting that it will be the last of it's kind, I'm guessing they might not be readily available second hand. So now I am trying to justify some man maths to myself and see if I'm willing to, for the first time ever, buy something brand new. It would mean swallowing my pride after having spent years lecturing friends with brand new cars about the depreciation they are wasting money on
That's only 2022s allocation, production will run into 2024 so it shouldn't be too limited. However if prospective UK buyers are armed with the information that its going to be a limited run, coupled with the production delays from COVID and the knowledge of the imminent demise of ICE in Europe, then its really a sellers market, lead times will go through the roof and price scalping will be rife in the second hand market. So with that in mind its now 399 left in next years allocation (if that is genuinely true), I placed my deposit, bit impulsive and its on a hunch but there is nothing else I want to spend my money on.
BRZ-123 and Lauren reacted to this -
Are you looking to get one next year Dave? I'm a red car guy but I do fancy the Halo white too.
-
Can't imagine that being the case since the GR86 will be manufactured in the Subaru's Gunma plant and the GR Yaris Toyota's Motomachi., If they were in the same factory then it would make sense, not to mention the colours have already been published everywhere else.
-
400?! Is that it.
-
Hi Will,
Welcome to the forum! I see you are local, I'm just outside of Sittingbourne. In answer to your questions, no unfortunately the car comes with neither of those features, good news is there are aftermarkets products available to retrofit those functions.

11 hours ago, Andy Gside said:Is that will the decat manifold or stock manifold ?
That would be with the a decat manifold. It would be mega loud too.
Definitely need resonators in your front pipe as Conscript has mentioned. In my experience with exhaust setups:
Stock Manifold - Stock Front Pipe - Perrin 2.5" Resonated Catback - OEM+ , nice sporty sound but fades out and quietens down above 5k rpm
Stock Manifold - Berk HFC front pipe - Perrin 2.5" Resonated Catback - BOOM fest, exhaust was loud and became binary, acceptable at steady cruise, but very loud on any application of throttle or overrun
Stock Manifold - Fujitsubo Decatted dual resonated front pipe - Perrin 2.5" Resonated Catback - Bit louder than just the catback, good modulation of sound relative to how much you bury your foot all the way to redline, odd burble off throttle.

You will struggle to get through an MOT with the Berk HFC. Can't comment on the Cobra.
