The Subaru number on the side of it is 15208AA170.

I once had a lot of trouble removing an oil filter after the dealer fitted it, I crushed it with a chain type tool, so rammed a screwdriver through it, to turn it and just managed to turn it!  Ever since then, I always used a proper multi flute/sided tool.

Edit: There are some 79mm dia with 15 flutes on eBay but they are all from china and a few, probably chinese, from the US.

Is the TRC and VRC anything to do with the ride, none of these were showing in the meter display.  If I press the right hand button in the pic, the “TRC OFF” indicator appears in the meter display, if I then press the left hand button, the “TRC” disappears and the meter shows a car, wiggling lines and OFF (presumably this is the VSC OFF), can someone please explain this all to me?

Other than showing VSC OFF and TRC OFF on page 42 of the user guide, I can’t find anything in the User Guide about this!

Anyone know what the 2 lower buttons in the pic do, please?

1. Did you get a jack with your GR86, although the safety bag was a bit light, I assumed that it was in there, but today I found that it isn’t and it’s not in the car?

2. The socket in the glove compartment for the pump, is it a standard cigar lighter fitting ?

3. Does a full size wheel fit in the boot, it looks as though it will?

4. Anyone fitted normal “chrome” alloy wheels or have an opinion on their appearance on the GR86.  I see there’s a pic of a black one on the GT86 sub with normal alloys, but mine is red.  I fitted a chrome grill to my Corolla and it looked much better than black one, but was only about £10!

EDIT: After I started the engine, the light stopped flashing and was not showing, but back on when I turned the engine off!

The US website lets you change colour on the GR86, now we may not get the same colours  but which one would you go for, my shortlist is Race bRed, Neptune blue or Pavement grey🤔

I wondered if anyone had received the call from Toyota to "confirm next steps" on their order? I got the email below on 19 May, and was intrigued how soon into the promised twelve-week window Toyota start picking the phone up.

I'm continuing to watch YouTube videos from universally delighted owners in the US, and there was a small flurry of activity from UK publications last week from the official launch, and it seems nobody has a solitary bad word to say about it. 

Cheers!

Looks like Toyota have a lot of performance parts available in Japan for the GR86 , including brakes which look very similar to those on the GR Yaris. Wonder if Toyota will make them available in the U.K. via the dealer network?

First revealed in April 2021 the new GR86 makes its European debut today and will be introduced here in the spring of 2022. Production will be limited to just two years, making this an exclusive proposition for customers – “when it’s gone, it’s gone.”
