Riceburner reacted to smudge in Unexpected things you Disike about the GT86
Jesus H Christ
If you seriously have to moan about not being able to see our the rear windows for 1% of the time that you actually drive the car then you have far too much time on your hands. Here are some tips...
1. Reverse into your driveway so you can drive out forwards. No need a for rear window
2. Use the rear screen heater. It will clear any moisture within a few minutes. If you don't have a few minutes for whatever reason, leave earlier...
3. There are magical products out there that have hydrophobic properties. This helps shift water
4. Drive the bloody car...water has a tenancy to move when you're at speed...
5. Find something else to do with your time rather than trying to justify the need for a rear wiper by saying it's a safety hazard without one. It's not. Get over it.
The shape of the car means that it's not like hatchbacks with a flat rear end where water and crap from the road will stick to the back window. I have never ever needed a rear wiper on this car and even if I can't see out the back, I use my side mirrors. It's what they're there for. The law states you only need 2 rear facing mirrors for a reason...

Great for meets as well

I agree with Rob
you need some track time to explore all that extra power
You won't put it into a wall mate
in all TSS events this year there hasn't been any major offs at all
and there were two wet days

Riceburner got a reaction from Mark-in-Stoke in Fix for 'chirpy' fuel pump at RRG Macc
Just to clear up any confusion or wrong information.
The modified pump & repair process has only been available from the 12th November 2015.
We have carried out a replacement already and has been successful.

Riceburner got a reaction from Special K in TSS Celica GT PREP
She doesnt know yet LOL but not bad price for those arms £260,so not much more than a bush kit which involves a lot more work.

Riceburner got a reaction from Lauren in TSS Celica GT PREP
A bit of work on the rear of the celica this weekend with addition of adjustable rear arms and polybushed trailing arms.
The rubber bushes we're crumbling causing a lot of movement in the rear hubs.Should help with the understeer and now has fully adjustable camber and toe with ease.

Riceburner reacted to Special K in Upgrade to the 'Forums'
Phones are a verbal interface, tablets are for curing infections, pc stands for 'political correctness', a phrase that has lost its purpose (rather like this Forum upgrade)
If you like Facebook (a.k.a. washing your jockstrap in public) you'll love this new-look Forum. Needless to say, I don't - it is truncated and distilled down to an unrepresentative snapshot - like the front page of a newspaper with a big-breasted woman as its only 'gotcha' . . literally a mouth on display without teeth.
What next? - will we be forced to adopt Twitterspeak ?

Riceburner got a reaction from smudge in Boot liner
I have initially checked our epc parts catalogue for Australian market and it doesn't give us 86 as an option so we have emailed parts supply TGB to see if they can help

Riceburner got a reaction from adamj29 in Grinding Noise Issue
It does sound like the noise you get if you have an uprated rear gearbox mount or poly bush insert.
likewise if you want to call into U.S. We can have a listen for you Adam
