Hi Sam here 👋🏼
I would like to highlight a few things as I see there are a few people out there who have clearly noticed Cult 86. It was a small group of us that generally grew organically, hence why we decided to turn it in to a group.
The GT86 community is a great and I (and other group founders) haven't intended to create a rival group as such. Just a more active group with a mainly events based focus.
You are more than welcome to contact me with regards to any collaborative events.
No rivalry intended so please don't begin to spread rumours and turn it into something isn't. We have a great community and it would be nice to keep it that way.
The reason for sharing the events on other pages on social media is to give as many people the opportunity to get involved.
If you are not active on social media feel free to sign up to the cult 86 site to keep up to date on events we are organising.

@Mani I'm a little surprised that Sam Hardy has not approached the drivers club in the first instance. That would have been the easy way. There is no breakdown in communication. Sam at Cult 86 has simply not consulted us. Then people seem to be aking us why. If Sam wishes to combine Cult 86 with the DC then all he had to do is ask. Simple stuff you'd think?
Cult 86 has 66 FB members. GT86 BRZ DC has over 11,600 I cannot think why it would be my job to chase them?

A question I would ask is why Cult 86 didn't speak to us about joining with our stand seeing as it's been organised for a year and a half. Cult 86 could have had a section on our stand. Maybe you should ask them? 
GT86 OC have always been invited to join us at Japfest. 
The GT86 DC FB page is exactly that. It is not a joint venture with the OC. 
If you would like to liaise with Cult 86 and direct them here, Jeff, Will and I would be more than happy to talk. 
People will always ask the same questions over and over. It's simply the nature of the beast. We can't really help that many spend their entire lives on FB and don't look at forums, it's just the way things have gone.

These NE24 wheels have been released today. Available in 18" options only.
FOR GT86/BRZ you'd be looking at 3 options:
18x8 ET45 (Face1) - £3126.86 (Matte Gun Black) / £3250.29 (Shining Black Metal)
18x8.5 ET42 (Face2) - £3168 (Matte Gun Black) / £3291.43 (Shining Black Metal)
18x9.5 ET43 (Face3) - £3250.29 (Matte Gun Black) / £3373.71 (Shining Black Metal)
Centre caps, spigot rings and wheel nuts are optional extra. Only air valves are included.
Description from Japan below:
Entering a new generation of sports wheels.
Designed with a racing-based name for the first time in seven years, the new NE24 is a wheel that transforms conventional ideas and evokes a feel of "entering a new phase."
The name of this new series consists of "N" deriving from the VOLK RACING Gr.N —the roots of the developed wheel, or Group N, the racing class for stock cars with a minimum level of modifications—and "E," the common initial for the existing series such as TE, CE, and ZE, meaning "evolution."

2021 will probably be a year of impact in a sense. A great number of new exciting cars are scheduled to be released by Japanese manufacturers. Also, there appears to be a flood of upcoming European C-segment sports models. These cars are elite vehicles that have been developed to compete on the global stage, and therefore wheels to be fitted to such vehicles need to match their novelty.
We never tried to be eccentric but still sought for something new to configure the 2x4 spoke of the NE24. Indeed, in an attempt to create an unconventional geometry, we not only secured sufficient mass at the center area, but also reduced the number of spokes while keeping a necessary volume at the centre fastening area and rim joint area. Especially for the outer circumference, we adopted a high-performance design assuming that the wheel is used in combination with a tire with hard specifications.
Making this design feasible essentially required steadily repeated trial and error by RAYS R&D Analytical Team. The skills to give shape to something new were necessary. In addition, using the latest forging technology also helped to achieve the delicate and slight spike. The undercut of the spoke was employed with a further increased level difference. This design is intended to ensure a stereoscopic look even when the narrow size is used.
A new thing is created by embodying something difficult to realise. We will tackle the creation of new styling and performance of street wheels, leveraging our skills and experience that have been acquired through design and development of racing wheels. We will produce both racing wheels and street wheels from the same team members and from the same factory. This is the world of VOLK RACING.


Forum discount can be applied as well.

You fixed it.  👍

Thanks Laura 😃 (my name's Alan, but you can call me Ethel if you want, just nice to hear from a fellow MR2 fan). Have never tried a turbo MK3, but even in stock tune they can feel decently quick enough for a twisty B road IMO with sorted suspension and AD08Rs 🙂
Its still my ambition to have a nice MK1 someday, will just need to empty my garage first / build a bigger one.

It's more likely down to your driving. I seem to go past turbo'd GT86's easily enough on track, but there's no way I'm faster than them in a straight line. Bold statement but I don't think I've had another GT86 overtake me on track ever, though I fully expect there'll be someone along to tell me they have. 😂

For fucks sake. That's 30 reports I've had to go through today. You're right, Nigel, I need some volunteers to help me with this. So many duplicates with a lot of people reporting the same five users or so. 
Any volunteers? 
It's mainly a thankless task I'm afraid.

Yep something of a 'money shift' by Robert at Apex:
 

I see apex over at the nurburgring have killed their gr yaris 😬
 
No  fault of the car, I belive someone did the old trick of going for 4th but finding 2nd the day before 😵

Today I took of the door panel and disconnected the connectors from the window switch a d the connector from the window motor. Then reconnected and again the usual reset procedure and now it works well again. Very happy it is solved!

Five star review from Clarkson in The Sunday Times today

New member here - picking up my 2020 Pro in black next week.  Been after a GT86 for quite some time and finally took the leap this week with an offer I couldn’t refuse.  This looks like a fantastic forum so already looking forward to learning lots and helping wherever and whenever I can.  For once I want the weekend to go really fast!!!!
