bloo

Thanks for the offer Shaun but my local tyre company is already sourcing a pair for me - to be fitted tomorrow.

Thanks - yep I saw the rubber mats but need something that can protect more than just the floor unfortunately.

Does anyone use their cars to transport muddy/wet stuff and has found a way to properly protect the innards? I have been looking for a few weeks now for ways to keep my boot clean when transporting bikes, kitesurf stuff etc. Google turned up something called a safe bag, which is basically a large bag that fills the whole boot, with one opening at the boot. This means it protects the top/sides of the car as well as just the floor (I need my seats down to fit the mountain bike in). The other benefit is that it hides whatever you have in the boot. Unfortunately, and perhaps predictably, they don't make them for GT86 so I need to improvise slightly. According to here the GT86 boot is 136cm deep with seats down, 140cm at its widest and 40cm high at the boot opening. Looking through the models they do I have found one for another car model with approx correct dimensions. This model is long enough, easily high enough and will be wide enough when using the spare material meant for the unused height. I think i'll need to butcher it slightly to get the correct fit, but it shouldn't be too far off. I'll keep you updated with how I get on, but interested to hear if anyone else has done anything similar. thanks Pete

Nice one thanks all now sorted. Interesting comment about the Vredesteins - I'll have a look when I next come round to replacing all four. I had hoped there were some other GT86s around here but only seen a couple in the last few months or so. Exclusive Thanks for the warm welcome all

Thanks thats quite a response for a working day! Cool - sounds like the best thing to do is source some F1s to replace the worn primacys on the front rather than mix'n'match. I'll get someone to order them in but want to take the car to a garage to get wheel alignment checked at the same time. I'm based near Guildford. F1s on the rear are almost brand new.

Hi everyone Had my eye on getting a GT86 for a long time now but finally picked up a '12 plate blue one a couple of weeks ago. Love it!! Interestingly the previous owner had Goodyear F1s on the rear and the Primacys on the front - makes for interesting handling in the wet. I want to replace the fronts to make the car more balanced but struggling to find anywhere local that stock F1s. So - recommended alternatives? Continental 5s look good. thanks all and happy motoring Pete
