*Works at wheel shop*
*has stock wheels on car*
stock wheels look pretty good though so hey
Chair you actually like the infamous Prius wheels ?
Zach E it be like that sometimes 💔
@@thatrupride Prius tires* smart one
The stock wheels on the base models are absolutely garbage. I can’t argue with him for getting headers and an exhaust first tho 🤷🏼♀️
But I’m pretty sure a wise man once said that the first modifications you do should be “Wheels, tires, suspension” which I did on my BRZ, *cough cough* but who listens to Alex anyways?
I bought this frs cause there is so much aftermarket mods. “Car is still stock af” 😂
Joey Lopez it’s not stock tho
Exterior mods aren't the only mods... some people prefer performance over esthetics and vice versa all comes down to what you want
Jimma Kenyi performance mods on a frs? that’s the definition of financial mistake.
@@Suhhdew to each their own buddy I enjoy my brz just fine
Erick Pacheco yea I personally prefer aesthetic mods for my FRS most I’m gonna do is probably coils and exhaust performance wise, I’d rather spend money on a a faster car then 6k on a supercharger and make it unreliable
The whole "86" legend began with a 115-130 hp rear drive hatch back and coupe..yet it became one of the most well balanced and legendary sports cars of all time. You don't need a lot of power to make a great sports car. All these it's too slow mind sets are funny because we have a perfect platform and world of tuning options to play with and most of them started with 120 hp civics trying to race camaro ss's and mustang GTs. Nothing is useful without balance. Why do think Keichii Tsuchiya s favorite car is his 86, and his is still well under 300hp.
Problem is the tq dip, if it was a better powerband it would feel quicker
Also the ae86 was very light the frs is sorta light
Alex Strömberg a header and tune will take care of the dip, true but the frs is "safer".
@@johngorgis blame safety regulations for bulking and fattening up cars. If you strip the chassis down to the bone it's pretty light for its size.
The only reason why it wouldn't be as light as the original 86 is because the chassis itself has a lot more reinforcement in its structure
Yea sure on the track but when you're trying to show off how fast you are on the street ,which is more realistic for daily , you will be quickly embarrassed.
Boxer and easy to work on aren't suppose to be in the same sentence
It's not as easy as they think!
Easiest way to work on a boxer is to swap it lol
Either this guy and I have a little to much in common or FRS just draw a very specific kind of person
Honestly the whole “aftermarket” world for the frs is absolutely insane. There isnt a whole lot thats “ricy” about the car excpt for that wing. Probably because that car wasnt around during the fast and furious movement where if your car didnt have the biggest wing and the most neon flames down the side it was lame. Of course in 10 years were all going to be like “rocket bunny frs? You mean bucket of rice on wheels?” Its kinda interesting to see what people do with this platform because you can do litterally anything with them. If you wanna track it, track it. If you wanna slam it, slam it. Like ive even seen gingium style off road frs/brz’s and theyre sick

iHeart GT86 {KatyCat} I will be the first to put a bmw e60 m5 v10 in it
@@Cle_M3 Look at the No.45 on my list, that's E60 V10 swapped 86...
You know, the wild looking graphics on the side were put on purpose to make them stand out from all the other cars from the movie...
Look at all the other extra cars from the first movie, and you'll see how clean and simple they were!
Kev27RS true but in todays time, Unless its done really well, the fast and furious style liveries are commonly met with “oof thats big rice”
I've got an 86, a modified 86. I love it. The mods are.. more powerful front speakers and some sound proofing. So I can listen to the radio when I'm driving :D
Aftermarket radio or amp?
Now that's interesting, the sound proofing. Did you do that inside the door panels or where exactly?
@@dani3link inside both front doors, and some in the boot.
He looks like the guy from good mythical morning lol
4:40 click it over and over. Thank me later.
😂😂
Lmao
Just wondering how you discovered that?
You funny bastard!
What is it?
As a ‘18 Civic Si Coupe owner, I feel as if it is a fast car as well, because I have never owned a “fast car.” My other car/ First car is a 2006 Nissan Sentra SE, so upgrading from that 128 HP car to my now 205 HP car feels like a big upgrade. Point is, I love my car so, no worries! 🤙
Dang called out birdy from Kings Must Rise🙇🏽♂️
Lmaolmaolmaolmao
Birdy makes lambo doors look good tho. 😎
Who woulda guessed Steve is so natural on camera. Nice job brotha!
I was nodding my head as you said “Mario’s nodding his head back there” bahahahaha
You guys didn’t have to roast Kings must rise like that 🥺
New wrxs are pretty good on interior space. I'm 6'2 and have a car seat in the back with no real space problems.
Biggest reason why I am buying one is because I fell in love with the body style the lines are amazing clean not too flashy and trying to be futuristic classy yet sporty....I am getting a Toyota GT86 and putting a small upgraded L33 v8 swap into it but not turboing it or making it crazy. Just a nice sound with enough power to kick it sideways without any struggle.
Well I must say ... not bad for your 1st non Alex(no1) interview guys. Great job Steve for how you introduced the questions and Alex (no2) the fact that you were very "calm and collected" made the whole interview watchable.
So keep them interviews coming ! Oh BTW mix the interviews with girls too ... There are a lot of them in the car community.
My suggestion was NOT "weirdo style" oriented. Peace ✌️ (i'm laughing writing the peace sign i never do that)
I like this new guy. You guys have alot of different personalities and it works!
Think I want to answers some of these questions ! Definitely going to shout-out Fitment Industries for the idea
ayeeee 🙏🏼
Being in Iowa, same as these guys, 1st thing i did was get a 2nd set of wheels one set for winter and 1 for the rest of the year. I have a 2018 Gt black in Thunder color, Black TS10s on it look great.
You should start with the question “What turbo are you running” and see how they respond.
Steve: "function over form"
Me: "now i like you"
*he now has my upmost respect
This
😬🙏🏼
Finally something that actually makes sense.... Smh
Agreed 100% I hate the bagged out slammed thing. Yes I understand the lower ground clearance is good for track handling but when these guys slam them and daily D them around town it kills me to hear them crunching and shooting sparks out of the back.
Im about to buy an frs after owning an 03 silverado for the past 4 years so I feel him on the whole not knowing what hes missing as far as "fast" cars. Or a vehicle that doesnt handle like a school bus for me, personally.
Still love the FRS, great platform if you want to build up your own car, so many parts, so many directions to go...
I'm trying to get my first car and idk if I should get a FRS or something more fun more faster ....I'm obviously not gonna be going around racing everyone insight but everyone in my area is a car guy you look to the left you see a 350z and 370z parked in the same block and on my block a supra , WRX hatchback , Mazda Hatchback don't know exactly what model it is, a modded Acura, a modded G35 , and modded bmw, my area is a hotspot for car meets due to the fact the cops aren't so hot, there's a lil pressure for me And I want a car worth bragging Abt and if ever I can prove myself Or at least not lose soooo bad yk? What do you think I should do
I just bought an 18 Brz limited. I didnt buy the car for the raw power. Just wanted a small two door thats fun. And trust me. It was a great choice!!
Awesome! Im interested in seeing more vids on this ride...lets us see the progress...what would your top bolt ons be? Would you recommend internals or would you leave it as is and run low boost? Turbo or supercharger?
The fact that he compared it to a miata makes me so happy lol. I have a miata and I’m getting a brz next
I got the same car, but its a 2014 Toyota 86 ZN6GT in orange. Also my dream car is a FD.
I have 162k miles on my 2013 six speed manual. I drive from south central KY to Louisville to work every day. Over half of it is on well maintained twisties. There are really no cops out here but you have to watch out for deer. The result is that I did my first brake job at 142k miles and there was still pad left. And I've been through 8 sets of tires.
It's like racing to work every day. With the factory tires I did a lot of drifting, but most of my tires were Michelin PSS's so it was pretty much on rails. The G forces actually make me nauseous sometimes. It is the best bang for the buck sports car on the market, IMO. Other than tires, I keep the car completely stock.
Used engine restorer 4 cylinders on my 2015 Scion FRS and I now have around 6 check engine codes. Cars at 82,200 miles and it says on the can use on any car over 50k...also put in a bottle of STP gas after a trip the gas station. Codes with the same oil I used the restorer on: P0420, P0014, P0014, P000B, P000D, P00014 Codes AFTER I changed the oil(because I changed the oil around 15 miles after): P0420, P0014, P000B, P000B, P000D, P0014, P000B. A month or 2 ago the car was at stage 1 with the OPENFLASHTABLET then stage 3+ with flex fuel(without flex fuel kit). Flashed it back to original ECU/file and sold the OpenFlashTablet. Some miles later it gave a transmission code cel problem then it fixed itself....then a catalytic converter o2 problem...let the car idle for 30 minutes rev'd it a bit then fixed itself......now this..help pls ty(also i ran the flex fuel with a K&N cold air intake that is still installed so the tune was wrong and the air/fuel mixture was bad)
Didn't know Gels' dream car was an FD RX-7... Thats awesome man!
Love the 10 questions
i love em!! Im also 62 and i weigh 300 pounds. so i make it extra slow but its still rad af
did you get a tune after the header install?
i agree with his whole aftermarket scene. one of the main reason i bought an frs instead of a gen or a 370z is because of how great the aftermarket scene is and how much love the car gets from manufacturers. you could honestly rice the car out with ebay parts but, i feel like most people who own an frs mod the car with style :) plus it gets good gas mileage for a sports car ill take it haha
Noel Soto should’ve got a z...
Matthew Campbell ew why would I get that? So I can copy the other700 Zs in my neighborhood?
Noel Soto guess I live in a smaller town I see just as many zs as frs including 350s ,brz,86
Matthew Campbell my town is overpopulated with 350s g35,37 v6 camaros, challengers, and mustangs. What’s rare are genys, 86s, and rarely do you see wrxs
Noel Soto that’s funny we got too many v8s more genesis than 350 and frs combined now the v6 “muscle cars” we got a fair share as well
Don’t camber your tires.. that doesn’t look nice at all and it it’s really not good for the mechanics lol 😂
What I like about it, is how the car doesn't even look that modern...
It could have come out around ~15 years ago...
Looks nice!
This is an old video but I’ve had my FR-S for almost 10 years since I bought it new and I still enjoy it every single time I drive. I have just a few mild mods with the important ones being lowered a little on springs, rear LCA for camber adjustment, wider but lighter wheels, and wider stickier tires. Oh and the MT centering springs are key!
Those who think it’s slow are trying to use a cornering tool for drag racing. Seriously, go around a corner at twice normal speed without braking and see what you think.
Own a frs currently it’s my second car ever I’m 22 and lmao dude I be hitting exits at damn near 60
@@seyvonmiller676 exactly! I'm 50+ and I still love hitting a right angle to an on ramp at 30 without touching the brakes!
That's that one guy from Good Mythical Morning...
I bought it for the same reason of aftermarket support rn I'm on e85 with a stage 2 tune and full catless exhaust and 18s
BKG COLT what hp u pushing?
@@kylegalea2413 round 230 at least 250 at most I can beat a charger in a dig
Is the wing in #8 they don’t know the name of is a Big Country Labs one?
My FRS almost killed me with this issue , Toyota really needs to issue a recall due to this problem. The clutch fork and throw out bearing are incredibly weak and not properly lubricated from the factory. I have a video on my channel explaining this more.
Ask a Celica owner 👍😎
slow
I have a Celica and it’s the best nimble FWD I’ve ever driven. I’ve driven a Civic before but I prefer the 2ZZ because of the sound when the cams profile changes and it has potential that just got recently discovered
@@bravo_10 Integra was good too
Get scotty Kilmer to come on matey😂😂
I think that the lower hp is good, teaches you to carry momentum thru the corners to go fast... just my two cents
oddly enough im 6'2 and i fit in a wrx fine, but had leg issues in the brz / frs. maybe if your body is longer it's different.
Omg THAMK YOU
FRS / BRZ stock wheels are hideous, thats like everyones first mod for these
ImSamC even plasti dip makes them look a whole lot better
Neel Parmar damn Ive been thinking about plasti dipping mine but I just got it... and idk I don’t wanna mess it up
If you watch tutorials on UA-cam, it's fairly difficult to mess it up and if you don't like the results, it's fairly simple to remove the plasti dip too
Neel Parmar really? Won’t leave marks or anything?
From my understanding, you can clean it off with plasti-dip removal liquid and a high-pressure hose and that'll leave no traces of the plasti-dip. Have a hunt around online and you'll know what I'm talking about.
My thing about the FRS community is that there are so many freaking widebodied ones now. I feel like every show I go to, there are about 20 FRS's there with a widebody kit. However, they look so good with the widebody kit that when I get mine, I will probably end up doing a widebody kit too lol.
I have a varis widebody kit I'm waiting to put on my FRS when I get my suspension set up calibrated, and the rest of my parts come in. I love a widebody with the exception of the rocket bunny. (just tired of seeing it everywhere no offense to any owners.)
That Greddy RS with Burnt tip.
Can you guys do one of these but with a genesis coupe owner preferably 2013-2016 with the 3.8
well,some suggestions...how about showing us some good widebody kits for the frs or brz. They seem to have alot of them.
I got a Question. Do you like the newer body style or the older one?
6.3 and I feel comfy. Greetings from Germany
"Alot of them are pretty big dudes"
Ironically enough I'm 6'0 and I fit in this just fine. And thus car surprises me driving up tight mountain roads, handles great
i was interested in one, then i saw what the dealer wanted for one so i got something else
I know it's a pretty old video, but,
8. Camber, especially rear camber. It does nothing besides wear out your tires unevenly. Do it if you don't drive it though, go nuts if you make it a show car.
Also another one is static suspension while driving super low to the ground. And same thing to the above applies if it's a show car and you trailer it everywhere.
Correctly me if I’m wrong but the black frs/brz when featured about bag setups I’m pretty sure he is static
It def looks like he could be static!
...because it’s one of the best handling cars you can buy at any price.
So Glad you asked if it's good for tall People! I'm 6'6" and i thought about buying one!
I'm 6'5" and I fit with room to spare
@@reidschultz9932 i test drove one, i fit very well in it 😁, i'm gonna buy one in the future
What are you saying. All wrx’s are known for fitting tall people. My dad’s 6’9 and fits in the new ones. And I’m 6’5 and have a bugeye, which my dad also fits in.
The Origin labo kit looks nice on them I think
Do we know what that wing is yet? I'm trying to find it
50 different headers lol in California that’s 50 different ways to get a 1000 ticket now
You're thinking bigcountrylabs wings 😂 and yes totally agree. Please stop this
By far one of the best channels out there #underrated
*BCL are the huge wings people throw on these.* 🤣
Waiting to see if birdy finds out about this 😂
Robbie Ferreira's BRZ at 3:58?
Can tell be the shifter gator.
I hate those slanted wheels, it makes cars look bucktoothed and wear tires faster. Plus I've never understood the whole "let's make a car more uncomfortable and inconvenient to drive because I can fit a finger between the tire and wheel flair.
FD and 86? Would be a beastly combo
86 BABY
hey man lambo doors are clean as hell on that frs to be fair
Also any stock car with a big wing on it looks ugly... you at least need some after market wheels and suspension so it fits in
I'm 6'6" and I fit in mine just fine.
I have a 2014 cion frs i hase a D-45 its leaking oil out this part i can't figure out the name of it some frs and bmz have a cam plate in place of it.
It sits on passenger side behind the motor.
Can anybody help me out and tell me what color that is it at 6:16 please and thank you
MINT!
Things that should go with the 86/brz/frs community (86 owner and 86/brz crew founder)... PLEASE take out the need for scissor doors!!!! If lambo finds it lame and stopped it, we don't need to continue it!!
Lmao they got Birdy's clip in there
I liked the style of them but after driving one not so much wound up getting a accord sport 2.0t which is faster than i thought it would be
But if they do a different engine in the 86 id be more open to trying it again
How you guys going to put birdy on blast like that.
My next car is definitely gonna be an FRS, coming from an Auto Civic the BZ will be stupid fast for me.
You'll have fun with it for sure! -Edgar
i’m 6’3 and i fit perfectly in my frs
He not lying about those big ass wings. Stop it😌
Yea Im 6 feet tall and I had trouble looking over my steering wheel before I set the whole seat and wheel up lol. It really is odd how they make these peoples fit.
The BRZ platform basically is an FD RX-7 but with a naturally aspirated boxer engine.
Talks about how the inside of an STI is small.
Me: laughing from the inside of a Del Sol
Do Asking a Mustang owner 10 questions
How many pedestrians have you ran over
☝️✌️🖐😂
6 on a monthly basis
Why did you get a mustang?
Cause im a basic bitch
how many crowds have you killed
the only things I hate in the 86 community are big wings, crazy liveries and flashy multicolored 3 piece wheels. I like clean grey scale pallet with stretched wheels and low
Here’s a question..do you fit in the back seat? Which’s better, sti rear seat or frs? IMO rear seats in a FRS/BRZ is useless.. these cars should come as a 2 seaters like the vette. I rather sacrifice the rear seats 💺 for more cargo space to hook up a bad ass JL sound system.
I almost want to put a LS1 in the FRS.
Guys, what’s the best wheel fitment & rims for a 2015 frs ??? I’ve been looking at pics but can’t decide 🧐
FLUSH HOMIE!
Most people go with 18’s
Real reason, I wanted something sporty, and this is all I could afford
how to make the frs faster
ls swap, change ecu and exhaust, and u done lol
What were theWheels of that light blue frs in the beginning
Forgiato wheels!
Finally someone doesn't say that a lambo is their dream car.
@Ty Ty but you will never have one lmao
Since I just hit owning mines for a year I’ll answer. Why not.
1. Nope. Never cared for vaping
2. Customization and fun to drive
3. Nothing yet cuz I’m a broke young boy lol
4. I fit but I’m short lol I’m only 5’6”
5. Like 5 snap backs.
6. I don’t care. My buddy runs a civic si 👍
7. I’m not sure. I don’t want to lower the car really since I want to daily it for the foreseeable future
8. I don’t care what trends are popular. I find the uniqueness of ppls cars the most interesting thing about the car community. Regardless of how “ricey” it is.
9. It’s my second choice on my dream car list. Only losing to a mark IV Supra. FR-S are way more available lol and modern
10. Kinda spoiled it in my 9th question answer but the Mark IV Toyota Supra with the 2JZ of course
Would you care to discuss the car a bit? Looking into buying it but im also a broke young boi so it's a huge purchase and I would love to speak to someone who owns one
Thats like saying i bought a s600 Maybach because i couldn't afford a Bentley Flying Spur. No... its i like this car so that's what i bought.
Still waiting for you to do a wrx owner next
No Alex, no Jasper, no Claire!? Really!?
I’m not ready yet
NO STANCE!
