GT86 is better looking, IMO. Stock Vs stock, the GR86 seems like it might be a better car in pretty much every way. I'm certainly interested to try one and see how it compares to my SC'd GT86, it'd have to be pretty damn good for me to consider switching though.

Went to fit it today. Its quite incredible the stock arm angle when the wheels are hanging. You can see from the pictures the difference these mounts make. Once the weight of the car is back on the wheels the arm will be pretty much horizontal now. Three things that aren’t mentioned in the instructions - 1) That its much easier to do this with the wheels off. I’d have saved a lot of time by starting with removing the wheels. 2) The torque settings (140nm for the large bolt going into the floor. 70nm for the two small bolts next to it and 110nm for the bolts either end of the trailing arm) 3) The bolts either end of the trailing arm cannot be reused as they stretch. I found this out the hard way. So the car is still on axel stands waiting for 4x new bolts to turn up. Part No - SU003-02819 (around £11 each!) Hopefully next weekend i’ll be able to tell you how the car drives after fitting these.

I think its too soon to tell. Until we get to try the new car ourselves it’s impossible to make an informed decision. As much as I prefer the Gt86 inside and out.. the reviews generally all say the Gr86 is a much better car in every way.

Neither. A supercharger.

My 2017 with TD NA (EL manifold) initially failed on emissions at tickover & 2500rpm warm up - twice the limit on CO & HC. Went for a 1 mile thrash - WOT & 7k, recommenced the test straight away & passed with negligible readings [emoji106]

Cheers, will bump it up to £200!
