Treated myself to a Das6 Pro polisher for my birthday as ive always wanted to improve the diy detailer finish I can achieve. After what looks like years of neglect with a sponge I gave the GT86 a going over with Meguairs 105 and 205 using hex logic foam pads, pretty pleased with the results and most the swirls and light scratches have been removed. 
 
 

Cars been into Toyota today to have the power steering recall carried out, they also looked at the air con and found a small leak on the condenser. 
Not sure where the leak is but its covered by warranty so just waiting for the part to come in and it will get booked back in for the repair. 

70's Celica; TA22 or RA25.

The uniroyals seem to take a few hundred miles to properly bed in, was the same on my Celica. Having driven the car with uniroyals all round now its a lot better, it actually feels like you have 4 wheels on the ground now and the steering has some weight to it. I don't think I've had the traction system braking the rears for me once yet. Turn in is much better and the car is more point and shoot now, I can get on the power earlier out of corners and it has better change of direction similar to that of a Swift Sport that changes direction like a house fly. Braking and traction off the line also improved.
I was never expecting Elise levels of grip as that just sticks to the road like no other but the GT now has the grip and handling I was expecting which is more on par, actually better than the other coupes I've driven.

It's started already, have just ordered an arm rest, mudflaps and k&n panel filter. I haven't even had chance to detail the car yet due to the weather and the mods have begun.

Hello from Leicester, I pick up my GT86 tomorrow after work, it's going to be a long day. I use to own a mk1 mr2 (imoc member) that I had for 8 years and have also had a few other jap cars, eg. 350z, Swift Sport, Gen7 Celica. After getting a F11 520d Tourer for family duties my E92 320d's time was up. Not sure what plans I have yet so will just enjoy the car for a while before I decide on any mods. It will be used as a daily drive as I also have a S2 Elise 111S for track day fun.
