Squadrone Rosso

Hi, Has anyone had any experience with these guys? https://www.quantumtuning.co.uk/car-remap-tuning-remapping.aspx?Make=Toyota&Range=GT86 Being South Wales based means they have a centre near me. Any thoughts or experience? Cheers, Simon

Morning, Anyone had any issues with the push buttons that you press to drop the rear seat back? One of ours got stuck pressed in when returning the back to upright & trying to get it to lock. The surrounding bit of plastic (with the red bit on) flew off at the same time. The button seems to have dropped very low & gone sideways. Can't even force it across & up with a needlenose pliers. Dealer job then? Ta, Simon

Had a search but can't see such a thread. I washed our 86 today for the first time. Dealer has done it a few times when it was back & forth with the brakes problems. It's very easy to clean, even the wheels & the contours of the body are sensual Did our little Panda Cross Twinair too. A really brilliant little car too Happy but knackered now! Cheers, Simon

Hi. Does anyone know who provides them? I notice ours displays speed cams & speed limits too. Would like to keep everything updated so any idea how this is done? Cheers, Simon

Loved this. Confirmed as the final production exterior with interior soon to be finalised. Promised to be equally sharp & striking. Due in the UK late 16 / early 17. Would make a great partner for the 86. Cheers, Simon

It's in place of her 86

I'll miss the GT86. It's a brilliant car when you're on it but it's not so good at the daily trudge, especially when you have to park in tight spaces & try to squeeze in & out. I could have lived with that though but it's not my car. I reckon the quality, usability & gadgets it in C-HR will make up for the lack of performance but I also see her nicking my forthcoming 595 at every given opportunity to get a performance fix.

Well, my wife is getting on. The shock is, to replace her 86!! She's gone for the New Limited Edition (100 made) Hybrid. Her needs have changed as she regularly has the elderly or kids in tow. She's been using my Panda more & more but didn't want to swap cars. That said, the 86 doesn't really work in my tight spaced work car park. Hence, C-HR for her & even better, Abarth 500 Competizione with the 180 bhp performance pack in place of the Panda:D

My wife is parting with her GT86 on Tuesday. She's getting a new C-HR limited edition hybrid!! Her motoring needs have changed a lot over the last year with the 86 not being elderly or kid friendly being a particular problem. She's been using my Panda Cross more & more so wanted her own mini SUV. The Panda didn't appeal to her & the 86 isn't compatible with my work car park. I'm not too disappointed. My Panda will be making way for an Abarth 595 180 bhp Competizione with the performance pack. Car will be at FRF in Swansea. A really minter with every extra fitted.

Hello everyone, Long time Alfa Owner(s) here. My wife has ordered a GT86 which is due in mid July. It replaces her Alfa GT V6 (which we'll probably keep) and become her daily driver. She's gone for every option except the exterior graphics. We got the GT86 Silverstone experience tickets today so getting very excited! I drove one when they first came out & loved it but not quite enough to part with my V6 Brera. Without any pressure from me, my wife tested the 86 and like me, loved it enough to place the order there & then. Got the PCP contribution from Toyota & a healthy no part exchange discount from our dealer so happy days! In preparation, I bought the GT86 heritage & design book. Love the almost obsessive nature of the designer. To think "they" say the Italians have soul & passion!! So, any pointers welcome. Cheers, Simon & Clare

Any feedback after the map?

I'm in South Wales & know most of the fantastic roads. IM me when you're coming & happy to help out

The Italians are worse. I'll be do differ after regularly driving in mainland Europe for the last 20 years or so. Italians are predictable. Belgians aren't!

Buy a liberte TAG for the tolls. Available from Eurotunnel as PAYG with a deposit. Being low, tolls are nigh on impossible for the passenger. Worst drivers are by far the Belgians. We went through the Tunnel last year. No issues with a standard car! Enjoy

My supposed daily wearer. Lovely Seiko Sportura

All fixed in minutes

Monaco today.

Ta, booked in to FRF Swansea on Friday

On ours, it's not locking consistently either so I guess it's been FUBAR since the leather was fitted at Portbury.

I'm glad I only listen to radio 2 in the car...lol

The JBL system in the wife's car has the sub in the spare wheel well. TBH, the interior of the 86 is too flimsy to get the benefit as anything with bass feels like it'll shake the car apart. Not good.

Alternative transport

Morning all, Looking at the reversing camera thread, I see that a sequence of presses on the screen when in navigation volume mode accesses hidden menus where you can activate & deactivate certain features. I've also read that pressing & holding setup on the HU whilst switching the lights on / off three times gives you other options. Anyone know for sure? Fitting properly integrated DAB is my aim, not the FM sender version. Why my dealer updated the maps & HU software last March, the DAB option disapeared so I'm keen to get that back. If @Fensport sell the reversing camera kits again or I can get one off someone else, I'd like to fit that too. Cheers, Simon

Both methods to access the hidden menus work but I cannot see a way to change the reverse option nor reinstate the DAB option that was previously there. Any ideas please? Pretty please?

@Fensport, will you be making any more kits available? Thanks, Simon
