Put some SM-10s on our MK8 last week. Very happy. Might get matching set for GR86.

I'll chime in as I sold my MK7 GTI after a couple years of dual duty usage (about 10 track days/year) and bought a GR86 in its place for the track. Also have a MK8 GTI as well. The GR86 is definitely a bit more fun on track being RWD and all, but for only 3-4 days a year I'd take the GTI all...

Indeed, great lap! I’m still claiming the pre-repave record though 😁

Before I had my 17x9 Apex’s I ran 18x9 ET45 Neuspeed RSe11Rs with 255/35/18 Nexens. Really loved that wheel setup. Needed a 3mm spacer in the rear to clear the fuel filler neck. Probably couldn’t fit 265 with my a particular setup but I knew a few people with Golf Rs that ran that size...

Yes I’ve considered dropping the pan, but should anything happen that would basically give Toyota blank check to deny a warranty repair. So I’m keeping it OEM for now and telling myself the failure rate can’t be THAT high if I am careful about oil temps and don’t go crazy with aero and slicks...

Well, the GR86 is frankly a much better track car. Learning how to drive stick+rwd on track was fun, I feel pretty competent now but always a lot to learn. Time wise it’s petty incredible, with my GR86 on 245 Champiro SX2s (which are about the same pace as a summer tire like PS4S or Advan V601...

The Maxxis RC1 is the sponsored tire for my local track organizations time trial series. Ive talked to a lot of people who run it and they seem enjoy it. Same grip level as A052/RE71RS but a bit cheaper, although I wouldn’t street drive them.

Hey, I bought a MK8! Still have some VW in the family. But yes....the GR86 is a much better for my goals...which is racecar.

I got mine for MSRP, ordered specifically from a MSRP only dealer. It was like $31.8k before taxes, I think $36.5 OTD. I paid an additional $1000 for an add on insurance that covers the windshield (OEM glass and install/sensor alignment) for 4 years, which seemed worth it as I have had bad luck...

If anyone would like my old GTI, it is currently for sale for just about $2k more than I paid for it NEW :LOL: https://www.carmax.com/car/23037670 In GR86 news…I am just under 1k miles at present. So far I’ve done coilovers, 20% tint, Endless MX72 Plus pads, adjustable rear lower control arms...

Oops. I meant September. Fixed

Sorry, it has sold.

The GR86 arrived today. You’ll find me back at Laguna/Sonoma/Thunderhill in about a month. Already got parts piled up my living room :)

Wasn’t planning on shipping due to the size and weight but may consider in the near future if I can’t find a local buyer.
