I have some spare intake parts I've bought as I'm replacing my aftermarket intake (came with car, also a Blanco - snap!) - the throttle body to intake box pipe, sound generator and a couple of ancillary pipes. Let me know if you're interested and I can take some photos. If you know anyone with a spare airbox front (the bit the filter fits into) then that's the last bit I need!

Was cruising along in blissful ignorance (listening to my fave DDR music) when I realised a fellow white GT86 was matching my speed (or lack of it lol) alongside me, with the Initial D 'tofu' side decals down the side and a little anime character on the passenger window. I think the number plate started RX62 and had kouki lights. I didn't see the driver but if you're out there and see this, I didn't miss you!

Hmm, I don't recall seeing the lower black stripes down the side but I'm not sure. Love the classic shape RS Watanabe wheels on that car.

I noticed when I bought my car recently that it had an aftermarket intake fitted. I've been trying to find out but there isn't anything obvious on it that I can identify it with. Looking at products online it might be a Mishimoto intake? I'd also appreciate any thoughts on whether or not I should put it back to stock. I'd need to buy an intake as the car didn't come with the original.

That's a handy tip for anyone looking at or having bought a car - thanks! I've given this a try but no result, so I'm guessing it hasn't been mapped. The only other obvious mod is a P3 vent gauge. The intake sounds nice and raspy on full throttle but I wonder if not having the resonator is making it slightly less responsive - or if the infamous torque dip is to blame.

On my previous car (Suzuki Swift Sport) I had the windscreen replaced on insurance. I'm sure I arranged it directly via Autoglass and they automatically cross-reference your insurance, charge you the necessary excess etc. Didn't affect my no claims though you're best checking your policy. Unfortunately I've also got a chip within a month of getting my car, so I'll have to do this too!

Thanks everyone for your feedback, I had a closer look at the silicone coupling and it says Mishimoto on it. I'm not sure about a remap, I have pulled the cruise control stalk whilst driving but didn't notice any change. Should I have tried this with the ignition on/engine off or ignition off?

Hi all - I've been lurking on here for a couple of weeks. I picked up my Blanco recently and wanted to make sure everything was fine with it first! I've owned Suzukis (Ignis Sport, 56 reg Swift Sport) and a mark 1 MX-5 in the past. For years I was fairly indecisive about what I wanted for my next car - I'd considered Honda, then MX-5, then finally the GT86 as they came down in price. My Swift Sport was beginning to get a bit tatty (though I still miss it!) and the right car turned up so I made the plunge into GT86 ownership! I'm keenly into Japanese culture and so for me the GT86 feels like a homage to so many things; Japan's history of iconic sports cars, tuner culture, touge, drift, Initial D etc. I'm really pleased with the car so far, it's everything I thought it would be! I've had to change the battery (replaced with a Bosch 65A) and from a bad experience with my Suzuki I've made sure to get a spacesaver spare wheel in there! There appears to be a couple of mods by previous owners; a P3 vent gauge which I unplugged when I had problems with the previous battery, an unknown air intake (I need to get a photo on here in case anyone can identify it) and oddly red LEDs in the interior/vanity lights. I'm planning on getting a reversing camera installed, getting a stock air intake (with aftermarket panel filter), sound generator delete and maybe swap out some lighting for LEDs. Other than that I think it's a great car as it is and will be keeping it fairly stock. Unfortunately I don't have any service history so I'm hoping it's all good. It looks like it's been well cared for and the Mot history looks fine. I don't have the manual and I don't have a PIN number for the alarm - should I be worried about that? I'd better finish up my ramble; I look forward to being a member here!
