@xxJaRxx Welcome to the GT86 Drivers Club... ...I'm from Stratford-upon-Avon too... you'll probably see me around in my Supercharged 86. If you ever want a try in mine to make your mind up just let me know

This came on the car when I bought it, but the colour doesn't figure in my future plans so I'm going to put the original black on on for now... this is only available via import, and with taxes and shipping I believe it comes in at around £85-95 from Japan Only been on the car for around 1000-1500 miles so as good as new This one will be £50 posted to anywhere in the UK, or £45 collected from Stratford-upon-Avon (Midlands - CV37)

...err, ok, my previous car history is a little mixed: 1996-97 - 1982 Mini Mayfair 998cc (bought on my 16th Birthday and fixed up over the year before I could start driving it) 1997-98 - 1989 Ford Fiesta 1.1L 1998-99 - 1994 Rover 214Si 3 door (although I think I drove the courtesy car more than this due to needing 3 replacement engines and 4 head gaskets) 1999-01 - 1996 Peugeot 306 XSi 2001-04 - 1991 Toyota MK2 MR2 (revision 1 - N/A) 2004-04 - 1992 Toyota MK2 MR2 (revision 2 - Turbo T-bar) 2004-08 - 1997 Peugeot 306 XS 2008-12 - 2000 Toyota MK2 MR2 (revision 5 - N/A T-bar) 2008-09 - 2005 Ford StreetKa (technically mine, although it was for the wife) 2009-13 - 2008 Ford Focus Wolf Edition 2012-13 - 1994 Toyota MK2 MR2 (revision 3 - N/A tintop) 2013-14 - 2005 Mini Cooper Convertible (again, technically mine, although bought for the wife to drive) 2013-13 - 2004 Mini Cooper S 2013-17 - 1997 Toyota MK2 MR2 (revision 4 - Turbo TRD 2000GT) 2014-Pres. - 2008 BMW 120d Convertible (again, technically I'm the owner but it's for the wife) 2017-Pres. - 2013 Toyota GT86 Supercharged

I may come along for my first meet in a GT86... will have to check the diary (ok, ok, check with the wife) to make sure that we've nothing else on first though...

Hello and welcome... from one newbie to another

me... my supercharged GT86... and my 'other woman'...

Hi all, my name's Chris and I have just taken a deposit on my MR2 to be able to take ownership of a lovely Supercharged GT86... The GT86 is currently stored at my parents house until the 28th January when the MR2 is being collected and driven back to it's new home in Germany (only got a 2 car drive, and traffic wardens have itchy trigger fingers around our area, lol) I have owned MR2's now for the past 15 years, having one of each revision over that time in various different engine specs (3x N/A's and 2x Turbo's), and the constant requirement to need to work on them every other weekend has made me make the decision to go for something newer and less likely to need maintenance. I have been a member of MR2OC since it's start date back n 2003, and have the privilege to have been made a moderator of the site around 12 years ago, and am also one of the team who organise the clubs presence at JAE on a yearly basis. I am also a member of IMOC too where I am an affiliate as I make and sell gas ram kits to suit the 'frunk' and engine lid. Some may recognise the GT86 as Fimmo's old car, and yes it is... it's a HKS supercharged 2013 model, with a full mapping session and a full colour matched 5-axis bodykit. There are a few things I want to do to it to make it my own, but I'm in no rush and just want to drive it for now... Some of you who regularly attend JAE might recognise the MR2 also, at last years show it dragged the TRD Trailer behind it (for a bit of a laugh ;-) )... Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you all more over the coming years... and using the forum to gain as much knowledge about the GT86 as I have about the MR2

I'll get them changed over at some point then... it does bug me a little I must admit

Exactly my thinking... having a gorgeous looking car only to have it ruined by an embarrassing squeak

thanks for the reply... so it's a case of just putting up with it then

I'm not sure... thinking about it it must at least have an external aerial/antenna... Thanks for the replies everyone... I think I'll box it up safely and store it for now then... no point selling for peanuts

Hi all, having taken full time ownership at long last of my GT86, I shall be fitting my Pioneer App Radio in the next week or so so I shall have a standard navigation head unit that I shall have no use for... apologies if this in the wrong place, still finding my way around... but could anyone shed some light as the value that this is worth? It doesn't have the license for the navigation system unfortunately.

shame... oh well, back to the search...

that's where all the standard bits for my MR2 are too... ...I think I could build a new car with everything up there! thanks for the reply

deep down i did think that might be the case... I'll give it a go at selling it, but I'll be prepared to box it up and put it in the attic for the future

are these still available?

Well, the MR2's now been completely paid for so it's now off the road waiting for collection on Saturday... with that in mind I didn't want to be driving it around with the possibility of someone driving into it and damaging it for the new owner... ...so, I've taken full time ownership of the GT86 a week early ...sooooo happy right now!!

I don't as of yet, but I'm eager to get it on a rolling road pretty soon...

Thanks for the welcome... yes I'll be sticking with the MR2OC guys this year as we're mid way through the organising, and I've made loads of life-long friends through that club. I know a few guys on the IMOC pitch already too though (Scott Barton, Brian Wilkinson, to name but a couple). That's not to say that I won't join you guys for a couple of bevvies and to meet and greet some of you in person over the long weekend. As for modifications, I'm not entirely sure of any major ones yet in the pipeline, one definite is to get my Pioneer AppRadio from the MR2 into the GT86, but other than that I'm going to drive it, and own it properly for a little while and then make my mind up. I don't want to rush into anything and regret it at a later date.

Cheers, I'm in Stratford-upon-Avon
