@@atpgarageatl Thanks. I assume you had to tell them in advance how bad it was in order for them to bring the needed supports when they arrived. Also, was the support just at the outer edges, or did they also shore up the center?

@ yes they ask prior to arriving how level the ground is. They added supports in the middle as well. It’s very sturdy. The quality of install is heavily based on what contractor gets the job. I was fortunate the one that built mine did a good job.

@@tubehead8203 thank you for the feedback

@@sciencesaves good observation but I took everything out to organize and to shoot the video. At the time of shooting the video I had used the tool chest for several weeks and the power strip proved to be quite helpful. It’s been several months later and it’s still proving to be very useful to have.

@@unabridgeddick6645 good to know. Thank you for sharing

@@dmimcg right on! The Solara is a great car.

@@artyom188mph good question. I think the technicality is the car is built in partnership with Subaru and they specify the models so if it were to progress it would likely have to include both Toyota and Subaru. I’m not an attorney so I don’t know that to be a fact just my opinion.

@@Halo_GR that’s good to know! Did you buy them from the dealership or online?

@ I ordered off ebay.

@@Dano-MX5 I miss my miata. I had a 91 NA with a hard top. It was fun to drive. Basically a street legal go cart.

@@invertig0_ that’s a great deal! It’s amazing how undervalued these cars are compared to the actual Camry. Glad you got a good price though. Is yours the 4 or 6 cylinder?

@@bobsmith-qz2pv do you track yours?

@@KeithGoodney same!

@@i_read_bad_reviews that’s up to you. I knew the risks and still bought one. Live a little 😂

@@christoperspeer2300 which one did you decide to buy?

@@abbeyna01 while that is certainly a possibility the hope would be by that point you’ve either managed to save enough to put a substantial payment towards another car or you may decide it’s worth spending the money on the expensive repair to continue saving in the long run.

@ I wish I had known that in the past. But I didn’t know any better. I always thought that people changed their cars because they got bored. I didn’t realize that some cars just got to be too expensive to repair. I’ve had my car for almost 18 years and now I’ve decided to go ahead and fix it. After this repair, I’ll be saving as much as I can for a down payment on another car when that time comes and I can also use the funds for any other maintenance items as I go along. It’s still very reliable, so I most likely will end up having 2 cars for a while

@ that’s a great plan. Having two cars makes it easier when repairs come up and if it’s economical to have two it lowers the urgency for repair.

@@zerohope6720 interesting. I’ve had no issues with mine.

@atpgarageatl After staring at it awhile,wondering what i was missing,i realized i wasnt seating it all the way into coupler( total rookie move)...now i realize i'm gonna buy another one for quick changing the nozzles!

@ nice! At least it was an easy fix! Glad it worked.

@@KroMagnum4 happy to help!

@@seenenough1200 agreed but even Toyotas GR Corolla is having issues now so not sure that’s great either. I wish they would come out with a modern 2JZ.

@@atpgarageatl Everything has issues. 75% of the vehicles strictly use direct injection which at the lower end at least makes the car disposable (this includes Hondas). Meticulously maintained cars will start losing gas mileage etc after the warranty runs out. I know a mechanic who handles high end cars and says direct injection is a “disaster”. So the GR86/BRZ don’t have this problem which is the worst type of problem unless you feel walnut blasting your valves every 5 years or less is regular maintenance. My impeccably maintained 6 year old Mazda will be traded.

More over, If you don't care about having wireless CarPlay, is there a better or equal product that will screen mirror?

@@brianandtate this particular device only does CarPlay so you’re limited to the apps available via CarPlay. The device can handle screen mirroring. To get true screen mirroring for the 4Runner you would need an aftermarket head unit. The OEM ones like in my video are locked to either Apple Carplay or Android auto so you can only use the apps available through those options.

@@lennym480 while air may be quicker I’d much rather use this than roll out my compressor and air hose. If I had a shop with on demand air that would be a different story.

@@RAY_FILET it’s hard to believe but it does. You have to jump through a ton of hoops to keep it but if you keep the car it’s worth it. The reason this exists is because they bank on you selling the car (warranty is non transferable) or the car being totaled. The % of owners who will likely ever use this is under 10%

@atpgarageatl that's awesome! Wow.

@@jcsjcs9777 most companies use RTV now. It’s quicker and easier to program a robot to squeeze goop on the engine than it is to have one programmed to cut various gaskets for each little piece on the engine.

@ Using a robot to do the job lol, it’s going to cost them big for being greedy. I was looking into getting and so glad i didn’t instead i bought a 2024 Civic Type R

The RTV issue does not appear to be the main reason for blown engines. It seems to be the oil starvation when turning very hard and the oiling system not being designed well for that. Unfortunately most regular cars and even most sports cars up to the 1990/early 2000s have the same issue with oil starvation under heart loaded turns. Look up Accusump. It is a pressurized oil reservoir to help with this problem. Most club type race cars based on cheap cars needed Accusumps prior to the 2000s. Full blown race cars typically go with a dry sump to completely remove the problem but that’s really expensive. Cheapest thing that has a dry sump oil system is the c6 Z06 Corvette, I think. So may be hard to not possible to win a lawsuit if Toyota fights it. BUT Toyota should have done a better job and based on their history I would expect them to settle and not fight it much. Also almost all engines in cars that are under $100,000 are machine assembled. Including most if not all Honda engines.

@ agreed, Toyota is mostly likely to settle and move on. The sad part about the oil starvation issue is this is a common issue on boxer engines. Porsche had this issue but eventually figured it out. You would think Subaru/Toyota would have done this before heavily marketing this as a fun sports/track car but at the end of the day it’s a budget sports car and not a $100k+ Porsche.

@@atpgarageatl Toyota just recently dumped Subaru, their next GR86 engines will be built by Toyota and they will be using gaskets. They finally realized they fucked up.

@@awk578 thanks for watching and hopefully you find an 86 soon! They are fun cars.

@@tonyespinoza6978 thanks for watching and great choice in car. There are a few folks running turbo setups and more recently some running the harrop supercharger. I don’t personally have experience with either on this platform but a little extra horsepower and these cars would be perfect.

@@vivi_75 if Toyota had developed their own four cylinder for this platform I’m convinced it would be the best selling sports car on the market.

​@@atpgarageatlclosest we can have is the bmws 2.0 inline 4 from the gr supra but that would compete with that car plus I'm skeptical with any BMW product due to reliability.

@ yup that’s exactly why they didn’t offer it. The B58 engine from BMW that is in the Supra is a solid platform. BMW builds some decent engines it’s all the plastic junk that ruins them.

same im waiting. I'm not a fan of the boxer engine and has a few bad history dealing with subaru engines. Praying toyota comes out with one more gr86 with a toyota engine before 2030. Like tsuchiya said....manual is going to be nonexistant after 2030

@@obamatrump7320 thanks for the feedback and for watching.

@@joekagerer I agree with the notion that it’s not a major issue and most of it has been blown out of proportion. I do think manufactures will and certainly have in the past ignored flaws in their vehicles. There are numerous examples of this with just about every manufacturer. As for the reviews that talk about reliability you have to take those with a grain of salt. Most publications are reviewing a small sample size of cars in controlled environments. Beyond the five year mark not much data. Most consumers look at reliability from the standpoint of cost of ownership and frequency of breakdowns within the first five years and beyond.

@@TouchofKarma1 to be clear I support the law suit. Manufacturers should Be held accountable for bad products. My points were some things are blown out of proportion while some things are legitimate issues.

@@atpgarageatl you are right, the car isn't just a scam at the end of the day, my frustrations were vented here towards the situation and not at your video and take on the subject. I love the platform, keep doing your thing bro!

@@DoubtfulRiches that’s impressive performance from the hart. How much did you pay for the hart with the 40v battery?

@@Fraginator the GR86/BRZ or the GR Corolla?

@atpgarageatl 2023 BRZ with 4,100 miles personally. I have also seen several posts on GR86s doing it as well.

@ your Brz caught fire? I’ve seen the videos of the ones blowing engines on track but not of them catching fire. What is the cause?

@atpgarageatl Officially, I was never informed. I originally thought it was due to a minor front impact into a ditch. I later found evidence that the fire may have actually started prior to the impact but neither my insurance or Subaru would get back to me.

@@Fraginator that’s crazy and concerning. Did you replace the car? If so, what did you buy?

@@Aearonjer sorry to hear that. Have you torn the engine down to know the source of failure? How many miles did you have on the engine?

@@atpgarageatl 122,000 km on the engine, drove a couple times a week, never hard, always had a 10 minute warm up. Serviced regularly, drove it like it's glass and still blew up. I'm not a mechanic, so I'm not going near it. My mechanic mentioned over the phone it is likely the valve spring issue. I checked before I bought it and it was outside the affected models (mine is a MAY 2013 Model).

@ sorry to hear that. I’m surprised it wasn’t part of the original valve spring recall. Do you plan to keep the car?

@@atpgarageatl It's out of the recall range (here in Australia) which is why I bought it. It's my dream car, so a new engine it is. I've put a lot of work into it. My Toyota 86 playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLKXxuSS8jsJLpyiXY_z2IFIXny8uqZayl.html

@ clean car! Definitely give an update once you have the new engine.

@@ORG8 thank you for watching and for the feedback. Fingers crossed your car has no issues. Out of curiosity what made you switch to 5W-30?

@atpgarageatl The manual, I forgot what page, but the manual states that if tracking car switch over to 5w30 and then back to 0w20. I could be wrong but Im pretty positive its there. Also I know where Im at isnt as cold as other places so I dont think I need 0w and if my state is one of the hottest out there, The engine could use a little more heat protection hense the 5w30. I wish I can talk to the engineers about this.

@ the manual may be different in reach region but mine says if you use a weight other than 0W-20 it can be done temporarily but needs to be drained and swapped back to 0W-20 asap. The forums seem to be all over the place as some regions say 5W-30.

@@atpgarageatl What! I did not know that. Cool. Thanks for the information.

@@atpgarageatlI switched to 5w-20. So far so good. Have a 22 gr86.

@@sl0907 agreed and I mention the verus pan in my video. Like the first gen they aren’t perfect and likely won’t be repaired by Toyobaru but at least the aftermarket world creates solutions.

@@mrael6304 as long as your driveway is level they work outside the garage as well. Quickjack says you can take them to the track anywhere there is solid level ground

@@kotaro3018 I agree when you buy a new car there are certain things you expect like reliability and the peace of mind that the dealership/manufacturer will have your back if something goes wrong. There are too many examples where that unfortunately doesn’t happen so diy maintenance and good records keeping become a must do.

@atpgarageatl Yea, but being forced to normalize paying auto insurance for parts replacements that we won't potentially need or that might expire is plain stupid. We all know we ain't gonna need that crap till we hit 80k miles & the benefits will be gone by then. We can only maintain our cars to a certain degree and it's different for people because of their own mechanic skills. So it's just all false promises & it's unfortunate that eastern companies are losing their shine.

@@isaacchavez1425 it will be interesting to see if this progresses any further and if it does if there is any widespread recalls for Subaru. I doubt it but interesting none the less.

You wish. It's a Subaru. It will surely be broken before 100k miles...

@@vitaminwaterdaisuki I disagree, Subarus can easily go over 100k miles but 200k not as much as say a Toyota or Honda.

@@adam_bbing it’s a shame too. Engines catching fire…
