See you at the next one!

No really in my way, but see you guys there!

I'll also try to be there! I've been to the one in May and it was decent. Some very nice cars

And saw it again this morning. I waved but didn't get a wave or rev back (although I doubt I could hear the stock exhaust)

Spotted a grey facelift 86 in Marcham. I was going towards A34/Abingdon. I kinda forgot to wave because I was surprised to see another gt86! Not many around here...

As far as I'm aware the only changes to the exterior are: front bumper, headlights and tail lights. So I think the rear screen is the same between the 2 variants, but I will let someone more knowledgable confirm.

Thank you! Sounds like that could be it.
No issues since yesterday morning and no difference in power delivery or any other funny noises.
Thanks for the tip on the battery condition, I will keep and eye out for it.

Hi all,
This morning when I got into my car, when attepting to start it up, it really struggled to fire up, the starter motor going on for 4-5 seconds until it finally did fire up.
I am aware that the batteries in those cars are a bit weak but just wondering if that could be a symptom for anything else? I daily drive the car so I would've thought I shouldn't run into this issue..
Thank you!

What is the installation process? Does it require drilling? I know the TRD one uses double sided tape. Thanks!

Hi, I already have the TD N/A pack and wanted to get a decat midpipe. Will I require a re-tune to get rid of the error code?

Tell him to get in contact with the Venturer Alliance - they focus on CAVs - it was a multi million government funded (innovate UK) programme so they have some useful info.
DM me if you want more details

I'll try to be there! Is it really busy usually? Do I need to come before 9 to find a parking space? Thanks!

As for tyre sizes, stock tyre sizes are better on an 8" rim as you may find the increased sidewall with a 225/45/17 robs it of some feel. 225/40/18 is the correct profile if going for 18's. You'll enjoy the TD NA package makes a big difference to how the car drives.
Thank you for clarifying the correct profile Lauren! Probably gonna go with 18" (I know it might affect ride but ohh well - things you do for the looks). Is it bad practice to get wheels with incorrect centre bore and then buy an adaptor? Struggling to find a website that gives 56.1 as an option... I see most wheels have the 73.1 or 74.1 mm centre bore.. Currently looking at JR11s

Hi all,
Decided to skip the rx8 step and went straight to a GT86. Bought it back at the end of October and after reading through the forum in the past month or so, I have finally decided to join the club! Enjoying every bit of my daily drive to work + the fun on backroads during weekends. Beautiful car!
Umm... I am already in contact with Mike at TD to get a resonated catback and the famous NA pack (uel). If anyone has videos of how this sounds pls send me links. Also, I am really struggling with wheels - if anyone has a good option for a wheel (8 inch) and tyre (225/45/17 or 225/35/18) pack for under £1000 that would be awesome! I want something that looks like a deep dish (or at least deeper than stock!) wheel, but I am aware that there's limited options. Also, I wouldn't want to go much wider as I like the back end sliding around. Short term I will drop the car 25mm, but I would like to get some coilovers at some point, although I am a bit worried about ride quality (Oxfordshire has some "great" quality roads..). Smoked Valenti tail lights (+ fog light) are also on the short term mod list as well as a ducktail (TRD maybe).
On my way to work i keep spotting a red gt86 going down south on A34 and was wondering if that's one of you.
So if you see a black gt86 drifting around Oxford, that's me! Looking forward to joining club meetings in the future and thanks to the people who have created this community!

I use the autoglym UHD wax on my black 86. Really nice finish and very easy to apply!
