Cars affected by the recall were built between April 2012 - May 2013. This will affect a lot of cars that sat around and were registered sometime later. It's affected 3505 cars in the UK. Looks like you'll get it all covered under warranty which is a result. Could be a new engine. My car has been fab. One wheel bearing, four coil packs and a few other minor things, I use mine as a daily and stil really enjoy it. I'm nudging 128,000 miles.
Good luck.
A couple of little things..
I got my Joying Android head unit fitted after a bit of aggro. I bought the connects2 dash kit for the GT86 and the brackets and the Joying did not want to play ball. There were some metal tabs on the brackets that where preventing them from sitting flush against the unit. A bit of angle grinding later, and it was in. Unfortunately, the bits of trim that comes in the connects2 kit also don't fit (GG really), they're ever so slightly too large so I currently have a bit of gap in the dash. I can live with it though, for now at least.
I also took long awaited receipt of my Anarchy Motive Titan gear knob. I didn't realise quite how big a difference a heavier knob would make, but shift feel is massively improved. When you consider cost and difference made, it's my favourite change so far.
I went to a cars and coffee meet last month and it was a nice sunny day and I'd cleaned my wheels for the meet so I grabbed a few better pics of the wheels on the way home.
I spent this weekend just gone in Surrey and managed to get booked in to Abbey while I was there. I was visiting for a full geo check and also to add to the soundtrack
I did get the geo done when I got the suspension fitted but I kept on thinking that something wasn't right so I wanted to get it on the Hunter to check everything. It was out of shape by quite some way to my surprise, camber all over the place and quite an amount of toe at the rears. This has been sorted now and the car felt rather different on the drive home.
So yea, pops and bangs. I have always wanted a setup that bangs etc and I'm not sure why I didn't ask for something to be done when I originally got the car mapped but oh well, with the recent discussions I decided I'd get something sorted.
I asked Mark to go nuts with it as it's a copy of the map I use day-to-day so I can easily swap back and forth between the two and go nuts he did Now I've run it a bit I have a couple of things I might get tweaked next time I pop down as it can be a little harsh but it certainly makes some noise.
It's pretty ridiculous tbf but that's where having changeable maps comes in handy.
I got the gf to do a couple of (admittedly crap) videos and the car was being a little camera shy I think but it gives you an idea anyway. I also found a video that I did ages ago and never shared so here's that too.
Hi guys i have just bought myself this Gt86 today, and i love cant believe its actually mine. And to top it off its my birthday 😀
