I can set the gear shift indicator no problem have followed the youtube vids on how they get to the G-on G-off part but cant seem to do it on my car so it tells me what gear the car is currently in, is this just how it is in the automatic? would be very strange if it was only a feature in the manual as you should remember what gear the car is in as you bloody put it there! Looked quite a bit but cant find any info. Really appreciate any help

So as far as you know when in D it will only show D ive only had my car a week so i cant feel what gear im in just yet, i suppose ill have to drive it in M mode for a few weeks and get a feel for it

Lame as if im in D it means i dont want to pay much attention so it would be nice for it to tell me what gear its got me in but okay : ) If im in manual mode will the car auto shift up at like 7k revs or can u set it or will it just never shift?

so are you saying it only shows D in drive mode? and cant be changed to just show the current gear? : (

After any aftermarket lights for all positions! Very interested in tinted/smoked lights for my cars stealth look really hoping for some second hand lights before I open my wallet to the cost of new ones hehe. Any intake considered, there isa lot available so instead of making my mind up hopefully a spicy bargain can make the decision for me! As stated would love a turbo/supercharger whilst still being a bit thrifty about it! Will consider anything that you think id be interested in whether it be performance or cosmetic! thanks alot guys = D including a few pics of my car

My car is a black aero and I am after some dark style headlights for the stealth look. I really like the look of the Valenti headlights but will consider anything appropriate for the look or any other decent looking lights and i could give them a tint i suppose! Just hoping for some second home bargains before pulling the trigger on new bits! Cheers guys

Hi, I'm Ben and im 22 years young from Leicestershire. Glad to meet you all and look forward to getting to know you Ill start from the very beginning! a few months ago I decided I deserved a shiny newish car and was going from an audi a1 that I absolutely adored. I was considering an Audi TTS, Nissan 370z or a Gt86. I was all ready to pull the trigger on a GT86 when all my mates chimed in and dissuaded me towards the Audi. Admittedly its a great car but you spend more time braking than accelerating. Had the TTS for about 4 months and grew tired of the rigged scaletrix disconnected feel to the car, the neck breaking acceleration is nice for about 2-4 seconds before you have to brake. Then one faithful day I saw a gleaming white GT86 parked next to me in a car park and I new. I was going to own a gt86 (tts is for sale if anyone fancies it haha) So begun my hunt! Had a sale fall through and left it a while and just test drove a GT86 every weekend for a couple weeks and eventually decided it was time to have another look, Right as all the ex demo aero models came onto the scene as the 17 model year was released! After ringing round hunting for the best deal. I settled on a Black Aero that I thought was a bargain. Its an automatic, still not sure if I should have gone for the manual but its easier to find a manual aero than an auto if I decide I want to change my mind ill bloody tell you that! On my drive back I found the automatic box very pleasing and don't really have any gripes with it and it doesn't really feel any worse than the audi auto gearbox that people seem to praise and the car definitely feels 100x more car like than my TTS did. I'm not sure if its considered vulgar to say how much I paid but I'm sure people are curious and I don't mind saying and want to know if i really did get a bargain or not so feedback would be appreciated. Its a 15 plate black aero (auto) with 8800 miles and has the JBL sound system, rear sensors, half leather interior with heated seats and the sat nav which i believe is all the extras! I paid 19350 for the car and it came with a spare wheel same as the ones on the car. I traveled to Toyota all the way down in Torquay! Luckily one of my mums friends was headed that way so i nabbed a lift down today at 10am for the 4.5 hour journey, was worth it as I got to drive it all the way back! After i put the deposit down on the vehicle a week or so ago I started to plan my mods! A few YouTube videos and forum posts later I'd envisioned the path for my new pride and joy. Exhaust - Wasn't too bothered what exhaust and being thrifty and indecisive I thought id just get whatever second hand one i could get my grubby hands on! Met a chap from the forum at 9pm in a dark halfords car park and chatted about GT86's in his passenger seat for the best part of an hour or two and left with a Tomei Type -80! First car I am modding, I've got a friend who will be able to help me fit it but if anyone's in the Leicester-shire area and fancies a free lunch and some GT-86 chat is willing to help I would be grateful! Also ordered a blanking plate for a clean look the other side! Interior - Found a few people who had refinished their interior by either painting or wrapping and decided it was the way forward, an hour of photo-shopping every colour under the sun I decided on Orange! but not just any orange the hot lava Toyota orange was the colour of choice. Wanting to preserve my cars factory finish I rang about a crashed 2015 giallo edition and off I went to sheffield armed with a fisttfull of notes and a couple of squeegee's to pluck the interior trim bits from its mangled remains. I think it was number 57 but i cant remember as I gave the heated seat sticker along with all the other bits to a good friend who owns a body shop to refinish! finding out tomorrow when i can get a hold of the bits and the number he has written on his blank cheque : p. So to whoever you are who crashed the yellow beast one mans under steer is another mans fancy replacement interior - No blood so I'm sure hes fine! I also have the speaker trims and pedals getting done! Have included pictures for reference to everything! After spending 5 hours driving back today I feel like all the mx-5, TT, BRZ trio videos are clearly sponsored buy audi or maybe the Americans swoon at European cars. Every button (except the head unit buttons, except the head unit is 10x better than any other standard unit so buttons forgiven, plus lego wheels for 3.99 on ebay will hopefully fix it) all buttons are placed in a much more ergonomic position and feel nicer to touch. Although the dash and doors are clearly made of lightweight material to save weight. It feels high quality and overall I think its a much nicer cabin to sit in than my TTS. I have no idea why the interior gets such a bad write up, I really like it : P Would love to hear thoughts on wrapping the roof orange or any other orange accents I could include. Also managed to get some orange aluminium dial covers from a forum post from 2 years ago (the last set the guy said he had so sorry guys :p) was a good page to stumble onto! Exterior - Messaged a yank on ebay and promptly had a set of gloss black badges shipped out. Really looking forward to this! Also planning to get tinted up if anyone has had their GT86 done at somewhere not too far from Leicester please do let me know the price and how the work came out easier than ringing round i suppose : ) Mishimoto gear knob was the right colour for the job so that was an easy choice! Saw a chap make a post about his square number plate and harris number plate tape so both were swiftly ordered Also ordered a panel filter and the dealerships ordering me in an armrest and shipping it to me on the cheap! Considering replacing the under diffuser for a fancier curvier one but had alot of trouble finding one for a reasonable price so would appreciate some opinions on this Definitely want to do something with all the lights so would love some recommendations on what lights to get. I will probably just wait for some second hand ones as I don't want to do everything at once and apparently I get a kick out of being as cheap as possible when it comes to my car (probably because I have only just got it (or didn't even have it when i ordered all the parts) and don't want to make any regretful expensive decisions) going for the stealth look so anything applicable to that! yes this is also an advert to buy your unwanted lights! Also want to get a map after ive got used to the car so i can feel the difference so thoughts on the best map and place for a remap would be great Sorry for the dark pictures but i only got the car back tonight and it was... well... dark! Also whats the difference between the premium fuels and whats best? : ) Appreciate and and all advice and recommendation and definitely want to come to meetups ASAP! Sorry for making a long winded story out of my post but I wanted to be all encompassing and obviously love talking about my new car as I'm sure all you guys love talking about your eighty sixes/ brzeeees. Ill also throw in a mugshot from last time I was drunk enough to think taking a selfie was a good idea.

Well atleast you made the right decision first time round! feel free to pm me an offer on the head unit as id like it gone and too a good home!

Its brand new and completely unused. Think its around 800 everywhere. I'm hoping for 600 but want rid of it to be honest. I have another one of these in my TTS and it does everything. Currently Selling my TTS as moving to my GT86. Decided on the TTS 4 months ago over the 86. Needless to say it was the wrong decision and hopefully It wont be too much of an expensive mistake : )

Thanks for the info! would love some more info on the shorter final drive and how much difference it would make and if there are any negatives or if its all positives! also where what how and cost! this is the first car I'm tinkering with so i don't have a great deal of knowledge or experience! YET

I basically describe the same thing on my newbie thread about my tts! I'm glad I wasn't the only one!

Bought a blanking plate from amber performance for 50£ I'll upload some pics as I make progress, do you by any chance go to snap fitness? If so you were my inspiration for finally pulling the triggger when I parked up next to a gt86 at snap fitness 😂😂

I was hoping for 600! was just what I thought it was worth you can make me an offer if youd like : ), I do like the TTS! its ALOT of car for the money and goes like **** off a shovel and has grip and brakes to die for. I just like the GT86 more : p and want to fiddle around with it! And like my licence without points : P At least Ill have both of them to drive although I cant drive both at the same time, until it sells

When I was looking for a car a very similar one sold for 15700 around a month ago that i rang about so I think perhaps closer to 16k although as the new model is dropping this could be a bit less as more bargains will probably be on the market

Will get back to you once i get it on the car and will have to make a post on the Newbie part tomorrow when i pick my car up! jake mentioned there is a map to make it shoot flames, teach me the ways : )

Sent you a PM, Ive got the aero kit and wondered exactly what your gripe with the exhaust was, im not too bothered though as am on a budget : ) as long as it sounds the business haha

did the other chap take the head unit if not how much are you asking

Ive just ordered a set of gloss black badges to replace all mine im not sure if theres any reason to keep the originals as i doubt anyone would prefer them if i ever did come to sell it no ioea what they would be worth tho ( my car is black ) why did you choose to go back to stock?
