    Does anyone know if Toyota has fitted Jurid Brake pads on new GT86's?

    The reason I ask is as follows...

    My front brake pads needed changing.

    80% worn at 14.500 miles.

    The brake fluid reservoir would notify me under general braking that I was low on fluid due to the low pads.

    I appreciate that 14,500 miles is quite low miles to get out of the set of pads however spirited driving and track days don't help :)

    The old pads that I took off were marked as Subaru.

    I chickened out of upgrading to EBC type sport pads due to the upcoming cold weather.

    Anyway to cut a long story short...

    My standard pads have performed well so I opted for genuine standard pads and what I've been supplied are Jurid pads.

    I've been told these are on new cars.

    Any thoughts or info?

    It was great to meet up with you Keith and to fit your new side trims.
    It was also good to get to go for a drive out in your Turbo charged GT86 and to further experience your Tein suspension and your exhaust system first hand.

    Here is a picture of your car with the new BRZ Side trims

    I have been asked why I wanted old trims to experiment with...

     

    I don't know why the side trims on both the GT86 and BRZ are dummy intake grills, so I wanted to have a go at fitting one of the many different car mesh grills behind a standard fender grill.

    I have done a crude but of Photoshop to show a standard trim, a relocated piston badge and a perforated mesh grill in place.

    Obviously this would be an expensive thing to experiment with with a BRZ fender, so I am going to have a go at cutting out a standard GT86 fender and then to replace the bevelled edge with a modelling iron, and fit an aftermarket hollow patterned mesh behind.

    Sorry for the late reply Keethos.

    I'm a great lover of modifying cars and personalising them.

    However...

    I don't have plans to modify my gt86 yet as it's easy for me at present to insure it by saying its unmodified and standard.

    I do read about everyone else's mods, and I'm sure one day I'll do it. :)

    Hi All, I was lucky enough to meet a few of you at the Toyota Track Day at Oulton Park on the 5th June 2014.

    The track day experience was my first and a lot of fun and I am itching to get out again on another one.

    I have become even more proud of my GT86 since the Track day afer learning how capable and great a vehicle it is on track.

    I managed to find this pic of me and my white TRD in track on the Toyota review blog.

    I was also lucky enough to have a fellow partisipant (Aniel) record a drive by of my car as it seems to make an unusual air intake noise.

    Its the 3rd White one to go by in this short clip

    I'm looking forward to attending more meets and joining in a bit more.
