James-

Hi all... So I'm the owner of a 2019 GT86 Club Series Blue Edition with the added extra Performance Pack... Picture of my car below! It's awesome and truly very very happy with it. However, there's one thing I'm not too happy with and that's the wheel arch gaps... they're pretty silly sized. So I'd like to drop it by 25mm front and back... nothing crazy because lets face it roads in the UK are not the best.. Looking at buying the Eibach Pro Lowering Springs... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eibach-Pr...53.m1438.l2649 However... I just had a thought before I pressed the order button. The performance pack already has suspension upgrades/changes. Will I have any issues fitting the above springs? I beleive the dampeners are Sachs on the performance pack, but will that prevent me using different springs? Thank you for any information and help, I'm a complete novice when it comes to these things and I will be bringing it to a garage to get them fitted and also tracked/realiagned. However before I do that, I'd like to know if what I am doing is okay? Perhaps due to the performance pack, I cannot do this? I rang up Toyota and spoke to their service team... but to chocolate fire guard comes to mind... (in fairness... this is a bit out of the ordinary for them) Thank you, James

Here's a before and after of the change.

Gave my car a clean today and put on my private plate! Deleted the crappy number plate bracket at the front and just attached the plate (5 digit plate). To anyone after premium plates... can highly recommend https://www.fourdotdesignerplates.co.uk/ Well worth the premium to be honest... in the flesh the plates are the best I have ever seen. So clear. so vibrant. Perfect.

In fairness though look at the secondary market for Supra prices... at £40k its going to be a bargain imo. You can get for £44-45k a "second hand" Supra with between 500-1000 miles on it, with the PRO package (HUD etc). As an example here: https://www.bentleysmotorgroup.co.uk/used-cars/11223724-toyota-supra-3.0-pro-3dr-auto/ It's too expensive at £50k+ but at 40... it becomes seriously tempting. My GT86 was pretty damn close to 30k... (club series blue + performance pack). And for the £10k extra... you're getting quite a lot of nice extras! Tempting... another year or so I'll probably get one. As then I'll be able to find them for around £35k with low mileage etc. Which really in my opinion is a great price. You'll still have just about 4 years left of warranty, cheaper servicing costs than the competition (jag f-type, Porsche box/cay etc). I think there's only a couple of mods you "need" to do to it anyway... tint the rear window... and delete the "TOYOTA" text above supra... I'm currently arranging a test drive at my local dealership... so hopefully I like it.

I'm averaging around 30 mpg... around 20-25 with spirited driving and around 37 on a long distance trip. My car has done 1500 miles though, so perhaps it will become better once it's worn in! Who knows... Not too bothered really, buying a car like this and worrying about MPG is mental to me. Same as the people not using VPOWER etc. (or super unleaded at the very least)

Hey @Church Thanks for your reply, I'm just after street and purely aesthetic really, but at the same time I'd rather not ruin my cars handling. Hence, why I went for such a modest drop of 25mm!

Hi there, I'm getting a service done tomorrow and I've got 2 oil filters and have no idea which to get fitted tbh. I ordered the OEM Subaru one and shortly after I thought about getting a performance HKS one... Now the weird thing is the OEM Subaru one is much bigger than the HKS one... almost twice the size. Subaru = 15208AA130 (this is the same filter that is currently on the car... so this obviously is the "right one". the HKS one though, is it better? Despite it being smaller in size? Is it suitable? HKS = TYPE 1 - 68H-65 M20 X P1.5 Here's some pictures... If it's any help its for a 69 plate Toyota GT86. Facelift Is the HKS okay to use? And is it actually any better if anyone has any use? Cheers, James

Out of interest do you know if you have to prime the oil filter? Ie fill it with a bit of oil before screwing it down, or just putting some oil on the o-ring enough?

Alright, I'll go the OEM option thank you.

Hi guys, Appreciate, I'm new here but I am on the other GT86 forum with the exact same username "James-" @Lauren can confirm that we had a recent discussion about the new yaris and my advocacy for the Honda Civic (I know, blasphemy on a Toyota forum!) I have been members of the other GT86 forums for many years and sold multiple items... go look on the other forum at the sales section and you'll see this same post, and my history on said forum. (I didn't actually know this forum existed! sad times) Here's a link to me on the other forum.. (please delete the link if not allowed... but I thought that way at least people can see that I have history and not just a 1 post wonder) https://www.gt86ownersclub.co.uk/forum/62-sale-gt86-brz-parts-upgrades/18131-invidia-exhaust-valenti-lights-silicone-intake-rear-diffuser-trd-styling-parts.html ( Anyway without further a do. Item condition is New (other) I used this for a few days before replacing it with a different boot modification, which prevented the use of this unfortunately, as it looked awesome. Location: Lincoln, UK. I have a TRD Rear Aero Cover available... It cost £180... I'm looking for £120 + postage or collection. https://www.ft86speedfactory.com/trd-aero-stabilizing-trunk-cover-1915.html Here are actual pictures of said item, ignore the date that's when I uploaded them to the other forum .

Sold @Leeky Thanks mods you can close. @Lauren Cheers, James
