Had an amazing day at Anglesey on Monday. It's the first time I've been but I'd definitely like to go back. I spent the majority of the day trying to get my head around the correct lines and even by the end there were still several corners I wasnt entirely sure about. Here's a video from my second session of the day:- Plenty of room for improvement! A couple of photos from the day too. I was the only 86 there which seems to be quite rare on most trackdays now.

Just take it on track with the Primacy tyre to get a feel for it. I did for the first 25K miles a fair few trackdays and a number of sprints. If you want a decent tyre fit PS4's. All you'll ever need for the road and track. The car is absolutely fine stock on track. It's best way to start. It's a much better option than what many inexperienced drivers seem to think of having to do lots of modifcations before going on track. I'd always say get the experience first then decide what you need to do. Much cheaper that way.

If one cannot remove it with hand tools, it was too tight. There is specific torque value lugnuts needs to be tightened, and that torque is well within what hand tools should be capable of. Our cars in boot have stock lugnut wrench (for changing to spare emergencies), which should provide very aproximated somewhat right torque, due which it is of specific length(lever length). At least if one uses tube over that wrench for longer lever, that would be "overtightening with hand tools" .. some googling for torque value returned: Manual reference number: AIM 004 425 - 4 https://www.toyota-tech.eu/Aim/Aim2.aspx?pubtype=AIM&menuitem=1 https://www.toyota-tech.eu/aimuploads/9001c475-3fa4-4bb5-994d-86f55a1f54d2/Torque_values_for_Alloy_wheels_Steel_wheels_Wheel_lock_Toyota_AIM_004_425_4.pdf GT86 Mar'12- Wheel Nut Torque (N*m): 120 TPMS/TWMS Torque (N*m) 4 For aluminum aftermarket lugnuts it might be less, who knows. I don't think that some water getting in might be at fault. Exactly for that these are -closed-end-lugnuts-. Now sloppy tire tech that cluelessly impact overtightened imho is much more possible :).

Have done the man maths and justified a catback while I am there. Kind of makes sense as it's a 5 - 6 hour round trip for me depending on traffic. Insurance informed (Adrian Flux), no change in premium as I took out a modified policy when I got the 86.

Once you've taken all the oem stuff apart and put the wiring harnesses into the new one it's fairly straightforward. There are two plugs that go into the oem stereo that won't plug into anything with this one (think they are to do with the oem optional Nav). I fitted the WiFi antenna and GPS antenna and routed them behind the glove box. The WiFi antenna I fixed on the underside of the top of the glove box and the gps receiver I ran up to the dashboard and fitted it between the vents and the speaker grill against the windscreen. You do need to be super, super careful with the wiring harness that plugs the screen into the stereo base though. I've managed to tweek mine and currently it's not working properly!

All the best. Just 2 more days to go. Put your dyno chart up and am sure you will love the drive back home. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk
