2022 BRZ: 3 Month Owner Review; Still worth it?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Since I have got my new 2022 BRZ I have had a lot of people ask me how I like it and if I would suggest getting one. Now that I have had the car for a few months I feel like I can answer this now. Let me just say that the Gen 2 BRZ is far far better than the Gen 1s...

Disable the seatbelt alarm. You can do that by having the ignition on and buckling and unbuckling the seatbelt 20 times quickly.
That was my last upload 🔥
@@Smeedia Lol you're right, I even watched it. I am trippin.
@@VoxVirtus86 😂 Something like this happened to me before. You’re not alone
What is more annoying, plugging and unplugging it 20 times, or driving 20 metres with beeping. Lol
Driving 20 meters listening to it beeping
No cars are worth the dealer markup. That’s a bs ploy
Mark ups are scams
@@Smeedia they are 💯
All Toyotas in nj currently have markups so I chose a brz 🤙
Yup. They'll give you all kinds of excuses if you mention it too. "Well, supply is really low right now, but they're selling like crazy," meanwhile there's half a lot full of the same car.
I have owned my 22 almost 5 months and 11k miles and still love it with no major complaints.
Bro no way you just come out with this vid lol. I’ve been thinking about getting one of these recently but the Toyota version
I can almost read minds 😅🔥
@@Smeedia it appears so
Same bro same. Just 2 hours ago I was looking at videos
Bro is the most clutch when it comes to Subaru
Save a few extra bucks for a new Z id say
Learning to drive stick to fully enjoy mine when I get it. Might wait another year to see if they work out any kinks from the first run of cars. Mainly because I am broke and have my current ride paid off which feels amazing.
Same here 🤣🤣🤣
Smart. Too many people trying to buy brand new cars before they pay off their current one. Just lease if you HAVE to have the new car stop piling on debt.
I learned to drive a manual on a semi-truck. It was comical driving a Jeep... sometimes I'd try to double clutch or float other times I'd be looking for the splitter to grab a higher gear. 🤣
I didn’t know how to drive a standard when I bought my 1st car. Luckily for new drivers modern manuals are so much easier. Don’t have to ride the clutch in traffic jams.
Go get 1 if lightweight sports cars are your bag. The 86/BRZ is a dream car. I got BRZ since Subaru didn’t mark the car up
Buy a beater and learn to drive on that before you put tons of unnecessary wear on a brand new car’s transmission…. Protect your investment
The turn signal lever is a common feature in fords. It turns off when you make the turn, or when you push it again to the direction you selected. Keyless doesn’t work when the car is running, at least that’s what I’ve learned with my STI. I lock my car when I start it to warm up, I have to use the actual key when I want to unlock it. Otherwise when I place my hand on the handle, it constantly rings at me. And the button on the key fob doesn’t lock/unlock the car either while it’s running.
Same same with the brz, have to use the key to unlock it while it's running
Smart
Was able to grab a GR86 at MSRP and I agree with everything you said in this video. I'm loving the car.
Eyyyy good job on the MSRP dude! Dealers be wild out Here
@@Smeedia no kidding. I saw you were in WA. Had to go all the way to Bellingham to get mine at msrp. Lol
Nit too far though 😬
I want a GR 86 but the only dealership in Atlanta that allow pre-orders has a $4-5k markup :/
I went to a Toyota here in Phoenix and they tried to have me paying 40k and I walked out, they called me a few days later and I told them I’m gonna keep looking for one at msrp and they told me they’d sell it to me at msrp, sadly I now have to wait because my parents told me they’d co sign with me if I waited until I graduate and since I’m only 19 I could use that
That BRZ looks gorgeous in the opening scene with Tanner sitting in front on the passenger door
I am 5'5 and this car is my dream car. Love this car. 😀
You'd fit perfectly it in 🔥
glad I discovered this channel. this dude is super entertaining.. looking forward to owning the new brz too
Dude you are one of, if not the most entertaining tuner enthusiast out there.
Eyyyyy appreciate it Eric 😁😁😁
I was looking for one near my area and all the dealers had em over 35k almost 40k! Nice to know it's a good purchase if it's near MSRP, I appreciate the insight dude
Anytime and hopefully one comes up for MSRP Near you!
It's so meaningful if you own it and are being watched from second or third floor so then you next to it's scaled down bigger scene. MSRP is completely new term for us and our hardware info components.
You’re the first channel I’ve ever subscribed to after just one video. Love your car
I want a GR86 so badly but none of the dealerships around Atlanta have one or are accepting pre-orders and the only one that is has a $4-5k markup. Thank you for your advice on walking out. Your point made it clear to me not to give these dealerships extra money. After talking to the salesman who tried to sell me a GR86 for $42k, I walked out lol I’ll just wait or find dealerships further out than me
42K?! 😳 holy hell, I promise there are some out there at MSRP they pop up every now and then
I believe r/gr86 has a dealer thread of dealers that do MSRP only
I almost got an 86 for $40k but ended up finding the same year (2023) brz for $30k. Agree that paying a markup defeats the whole purpose of an “affordable sports car”
Congratulations and I am glad to see you enjoying the car. (:
Thank you Ricky 🥳
@@Smeedia You’re welcome. Remember to stay dry. (:
I removed the chime speaker behind my dash for that very reason. It's really damn annoying! Great review--thanks for posting.
The chime just gets louder and louder 😅😅
@@Smeedia Right. Just a slap in the face
I did that but it also turned off the blinker sound too haha
Loved this video. Orders just went live yesterday in the UK for the 86 with first deliveries due in July 22. Very excited and counting down the days!
Ohhhh hopefully time Flys by 🥳
@@Smeedia Toyota have said every UK allocated car sold out in 40 minutes so I was lucky to have got one!
Absolutely love the intro song,a total banger,please have more of this kind in the vids,video, been looking at either a gr sti or a cheap brz,fr-s
Can definitely add them in 🥳🔥
Love this type of content. Earned a new subscriber. Funny and professional at the same time.
Eyyyyy appreciate the support 🔥 🙏
i got the premium GR86 and literally everything he said in the video is how i feel
it’s such a fun car, im loving it, with the right mods it can be even better
Glad yo hear your loving yours 🥳
Wait it's already been 3 months?!?! Sheeeeeesh keep up the great work!!!
Right, time Flys 😬
Love this car. Love this video. 100% getting one of these. The mods for this car are going to be amazing
It's very nice but I'm gonna stick with my 2013, almost at 100k miles and still running strong with no issues. Was gonna get a new car but decided I don't need a 3rd car and gonna use that new car payment money on my investment portfolio instead
never buy new cars. Huge waste of money. Buy them used for a massive discount. Investing is WAY smarter than buying a car that isn't worth anything.
@@kenshinhimura9387 buying a used car right now in todays market is probably the worst decision you could possibly make
@@kenshinhimura9387 Thats generally true but you'd be a fool to buy a used car rn. Used cars are going more for new, it makes literally no sense
I work for Toyota in Australia & have an order for a GR86. It’s crazy to me. that American dealerships are allowed to mark up prices from MSRP. If we did that in Australia on a new car the ACCC - which is the “Australian Competition & Consumer Commission” would fine the living life outta the company.
It's like the wild west out here with dealers 😤
In Australia they just add on $2000 of “dealer charges” instead.
Must be nice having a government that actually gives af about regular people
How’s capitalism treating you in America?
@@blackrhino44 yea true, we need to bump up that gross profit somehow haha. You’d be surprised just how little profit some cars have in them. The old 86 had $2100.00 - after we’d discount it for customers the delivery fee was where we got the profit.
I must say That everything you have done to the BRZ is very good 👍.
She getting there 🥳
i just ordered mine, 2023 version so its a little more expensive 28,595 for the premium manual, with 2 addons, taxes, shipping and tag came out to 33,910 wont be here till September / October i cant wait
Just got this car and I love it
Glad to hear! They're an absolute blast 🔥
My two dream cars are a brz/86 as well a ford maverick. One day I will have both
Maverick would be a cool one to have 🔥
That would be a great combination. I have a forester with a 2" ball for towing lawnmower and motorcycle and I'm possibly getting a brz
Glad to be a new subscriber. Loving all the content! 🔥
Eyyy, appreciate the support Jake!
Your exhaust definitely sound better. I think that is absolutely worth the $500.
That's what I'm saying! For $500 really not bad 🔥
Considering buying one of these, saved this video to a playlist specifically so I can reference the exhaust. Sounded like pure sex to me 🥰
For the seatbelt, I think they sell seat belt plugs with custom designs, you could leave that in the passenger side to get rid of that. They’re super dangerous usually but it should solve that problem specifically
had to double-check my playback speed cos old mate talks feckin rapid! thought I was watching a micro machines ad for a minute!
My bad 😅😅😅
I was skeptical of the looks but they actually do look good in person.
Way better in person 🔥
Man I wish you didn't sell this car. Would have loved to learn about this car with you
Now that the new STI is nixed, il gonna have to get a 86 and slap a turbski on it.
DO ITTTT 😈😈😈
So torn up between this car and a Miata. I'm leaning 90% Miata right now, but this car has made me second guess it many times.
Tbh both are solid picks 🔥
esp if you have a daily, a miata is going to be a more refreshing experience, there's just more going on when you have an open top on a weekend drive. Ive driven both and I think they are both great cars. Miata is as close as you can get to a motorcycle experience without riding a motorcycle
I sat in a Miata while getting my wife’s Cx5 serviced and I felt cramped and am a slim 5’ll, couldn’t imagine it as a daily. My brz is comfortable enough, and something special. Just wish there was a little bit more leg room for rear seats.
I have a Miata that I love but she needs an 86 for a brother
Quick add. I went with Toyota for my gr86. Big difference is Toyota (racing history) uses a yellow before redline indicator on the rpm gauge. This is a huge help managing rpms on the track and daily driving. Remember Subaru is phasing out their performance side while Toyota is pushing gazoo racing all over the place. The engine was lowered 28mm because GR engineers figured out a different mounting position, not Subaru or sti. Toyota was the one who changed the fenders to aluminum trying to reduce weight do to larger engine. My point. Who is completing in racing at a high levels using rear power? Who’s ceo is a race car driver? Toyota. Oh I own a 2018 brz race car. 2589lbs/230whp (n/a)
How did you get 230hp Na? I currently have a cat less uel, stock mid, and a 2.5 inch catback, intake (doubt that makes any difference) . Running an oft tune but haven't had a chance to dyno. But I would be very open to making more power. I just recently had a chance to drive a new brz in anger and it's noticeably faster than my frs. I would be upset if my frs was close in power
Whose
Yeah but not everyone is going to be racing their 86/BRZ. I think what Subaru did with their version of making it more comfortable and “live-able” is a good thing for those who just want a fun daily driver they’ll occasionally zip down some backroads on.
im saying. its not always about performance. some people like the cars to drive in but never have time to track it. reason i got my subaru@@donjohnson2428
Old comment, but you can add the yellow indicator to the BRZ tachometer. It's a setting in the digital gauge cluster. TMYK 🌈⭐
First time viewer. I love that you have chosen wheels with the correct offset. It really annoys me that some that modify this car chose wheels that require a stupid amount of negative camber just to make it drivable. That's dumb in my opinion if your intention is to not do anything other other than roll the lips on the wheel arches. P.S I didn't realise that they were stock wheels, I hope the new ones are sized correctly with the right offset.
Alwaysbsized properly, I actually like the stock wheels alot more than I thought that I would
17:20 *This guy in a '22 BRZ lined up with a STI and did a couple of pulls and surprisingly, the BRZ was able to keep up. The video is on UA-cam done by another channel. The new gen BRZ makes a lot more power than on paper, and the STI really doesn't make as much power as it seems due to all the drivetrain loss. Although a new STI will becoming out, but it sounds like it's going to be a lot faster, but of course, with a much higher price tag.*
Another day another video 🙌🏾
🥳😁🥳😁
the center console location for the cupholders makes sense in a car you wanna play with. Less spillage :D
My cups still have spillage 😭
I have a 2015 BRZ Limited Pearl White and luv it. Subaru keeps calling if I want trade for the 22 but my Car is mint and only has 63K miles on it. Also, I get Family and Friends which is 3K off the top.
That looks so clean. Nice man 🤟❤️🔥 dream chaser
Thank you 😁😁😁
The new BRZ grew on my insanely fast. Had the same opinions as you when it first came out with but now I absolutely love them. If I didn't own a bugeye already I'd buy a new BRZ for sure. As my tastes have changed over the years I prefer RWD, lower power N/A cars over turbo/AWD now for a track build but I'm already in too deep haha😂
Maybe check out some of the genuine STi accessories that are out now for the BRZ, they look pretty cool. There's a front lip, side and rear spats, side vent trim and also a carbon fiber swan neck wing which is crazy expensive but looks incredible. Subaru also makes an LED front bumper vent kit that looks awesome.
I have some on order 🥳 they're all just on super back order 😅
My dream garage at the moment which I find somewhat feasible is that light blue gr86 and a gr corrolla.
I honestly bought my 18 brz new thinking it wasnt gonna be getting a second gen... And it did, and it's everything I hate about mine fixed. So now that I am finishing using it as a daily and paying it off this year I'm like "shit, I don't even wanna mod this car I want the other one 😭"
@@invertedv12powerhouse77 I honestly wouldn't mod the old one haha. Obviously there are some great suspension upgrades you can do to make it handle better, but in terms of power there's not much headroom to improve. I think the best forced induction option is the Jackson Racing supercharger but I'd still be concerned about reliability on the stock FA20 motor with boost.
@@dlugsch the skinny con rods are the problem. Also that tuning is more finicky in boxer engines
Skat... like the "Velvet Fog" Mr. Mel Torme... classic :)
😅😅
I like that high pitch voice falsetto at 14:08 mark 😂
Lmao yess 🤣🤣
@@Smeedia ☝️👍
I own a 2017 BRZ. The first time I let my son drive it, I told him to be careful of pickup trucks and Jeeps, that they will tailgate you and pull up beside at a light, wanting to race. He laughed at me, until it all came true.
Happens all too often 🙃
“Gen2 way way better than Gen1?” 😐
Respect. Your. Elders. 🤫
Lol, it's not just you dude. I drive a 95 Miata, and that's not even the smallest car I've owned. Big SUVs/Pickups love to come up on your butt (what's that about?). I always just take joy watching them disappear the minute the road gets twisty. They usually tend to leave me alone after I walk away from them with my 1.8 127 hp hairdressers car 😁
I live in a very busy city in Florida I got the automatic it should be here on 5/10, I hope I didn’t make a mistake not getting the manual
They're not too terrible 🙏
Just out of curiosity, how much of a difference did the master cylinder brace make? I think the brake feel on the STi is pretty good, I don't care for how little feedback there is in the clutch pedal though... Car's looking sexy!
Night and day. Definitely gets rid of the squishy feeling in the pedal 😅
@@Smeedia think I’ll have to look into it then, maybe because these brakes are way beefier than anything else I’ve ever had it’s swaying my opinion 😂
Did it to my wrx and I couldn't live without it now. Makes more of a difference than braided brake lines
Master cylinder is a must, but so is SS brake line, good brake fluid and upgraded pads. Makes a good car better.
I just put the same 17x9 +40 Ampliforms (bronze) on my 2013 BRZ last week. They just clear the stock suspension with 245/40R17s on them, and have a little bit of poke on the front. I'm thinking of getting Fortune Auto 500s to lower the car a tiny bit, but I'm reluctant to go much lower since I can just clear entering my alley as it is, and would love to get the sti front lip someday.
Glad to hear they clear! Will prob run thr same tire size on mine 🔥
Had the STI Lip on my old one, well worth it
My Forester has 18x9.5 ur telling me if I get BRZ they won't fit??
Personally Id want a BRZ, at one point Id like to add a rwd car, so far I got a fwd 98 civic hatch, 17 wrx awd and a 4x4 16 EcoBoost f150, maybe for next year I'll add a rwd 2 door🤔.
Tho the styling of the BRZ is eye catching......
😂Unless I become a minivan dad with a (I used to be cool) bumper sticker than its game over🤣....
Ey, nothing wrong with the mini van life 😅🔥
So I found a video recently that seatbelt sound can be turned off in the settings! So it won’t bother anymore
My 23 86 deposit is at a dealer 1700 miles away just to avoid markups. I refuse to pay a markup and will never buy at a dealer again that is currently marking up.
That exhaust swap makes it sound so much better.. what system did you use? I want to use the exact same one when my 2024 BRZ gets here. Thx
it’s a thing of beauty esp in white
I walked away and they called me back saying they would sell at MSRP
You end up snagging it?! 🔥
@@Smeedia No, I went to Toyota. they said no mark up and I am ordering the 2023 version. I 'm still torn between the GR86 and the BRZ
Styling is better 1000% subjective or not . Styling is GOOD , and your are totally right that the 86 front is nicer. My understanding however is that the Toyota cost more despite being pretty much identical , so I would be hard pressed to chose as the 86 front is much nicer but MONEY .
ANDBODY who pays more then MSRP for a budget car that already costs 30K is BONKERS ! I HAVE NEVER even paid MSRP on a car and bought many below invoice and dealer cost .I paid 20% ofF MSRP on my last car in 2019 or 20K for a 24-25K car between factory incentives and dealer shopping for best deal and drove 100 miles to buy it.
I get that cars are expensive even in used market and all that but there is ZERO REASON that these cars should be marked up and dealers are trying to take advantage and anybody who pays 5K over sticker on a budget car , a good budget car but a budget car is NUTS and on principal I would wait or ride a bycycle before I paid that much . A C8 I understand and with production being slowed on a HIGHLY ANTICIPATED car that is a tremendous value but a car for monied people , to be the first I get it AND THE CAR IS SOLD OUT FOR YEARS . I would stick every dealer with these as I dont think there is a shortage .
You need to find a BIG DEALER who moves many cars and tell them your shopoing , want one, have the money but looking for the best price . If they give you a crap price tell them they are nuts and no thanks . If you call enough dealers you will find one with sane pricing even if you have to travel to buy it . you can service and do warranty at any dealer so just refuse to buy from local if they are trying that shit . OR wait and tell them to call you back when the prices are normal and wh3n they call tell them the price you got if you got a car or if you haven't and waited DONT ACT EXCITED and check if you can't do better and call them back to see if they will beat it . There is NO R3GULAR OR BUDGET CAR so good it should get a premium . I would ride a skateboard before I paid 16% over MSRP for a NEW CAR that loses a ton of value the first time you drive it . INSANE . NO idea dealers were doing with cars in this price range . People are hurting , GAS and FOOD through the roof and it's a good time to raise prices on cars targeted at people with less money then average to spend on a car ?
I don't get it .
My roommate has the exact same car and color. Im still not a fan on the rear end, specially the lights, but it's growing on me. One thing he and I (my 21 WRX) have been having an issue with is apple car play (Android auto in my case) it doesn't connect properly and you can't control the volume and sound only plays in the rear speakers.
That would get annoying with the speaks real quick, May have to kidnap the ladies IPhone to give it a try
@@Smeedia it's pretty sporadic but when it does happen you have to connect and reconnect 3 or 4 times or reboot the head unit.
I'm getting an 86, waiting for it to come in. For me I wanted a fun coupe that I can daily. and I wanted a new car. Being only 25, I don't want to pay insurance for a mustang or a supra. This felt like the only real solid choice. Helps I really liked the car from a test drive I did! And for the cost I feel like its hard to beat. Can't get a miata since I play cello.
You can get 328i e36 with same power, but smooth l6 and way more torque, for 3000 dollars, they came with lsd too
I feel like dealerships that mark a car up more than 2-3k will never have a steady flow of customers, especially when the GR Corrola comes out. luckily around me most dealerships are msrp only and one is 2k standard mark up which I can deal with because you can negotiate add ons to lower the overall price.
Just like there are sings that say "look out for motorcycles", it should be added "and 86/brz". Middle lanes almost never see my frs on left lane and I have to dodge those drivers.
The rain def makes an appearance in most of your videos...I can see why you're excited to move that shit is ridiculous!!!!
Dude it's like everyday 💀💀💀
Car guys and rain just don’t mix
as soon as I saw that rain and grey sky, I knew you were in the pnw. thinking about trading in my year old RDX for one of these
Gotta love the overcast and rain here 😅
Worst part of the new brz/86 is the non aggressive front end of the car
I can 100% agree with this 🔥
I’ve done turbo AWD 3 times. Had a 17’ STi and a Evo X. My wife currently has an 05’ STi. My STi was basic stage 2. Was fun but had to sell it for other reasons. Evo was full bolt on made mid 400’s but the car just didn’t do it for me, it didn’t feel engaging enough. Im hoping the new BRZ will be a car I keep. Mine comes in July.
Totally feel it! I have both my STI and my Evo 8. The brz definitely gives the most fun for a drivers car. All three are great in their own way. But the BRZ is a blast
@@Smeedia I’m really hoping I feel the same way 😂 I’m tired of putting money into a car and then losing money or barely breaking even on it. Having a reliable daily will be a breath of fresh air to be honest. My clapped civic is on its last legs and the car is to far gone to dump money into fixing it
Hopefully it holds out until yours shows up 🤞
@@Smeedia Lucas oil stabilizer works wonders
NYC area no one selling a GR86 without a markup! I have no other choice but to settle with a $5k markup, granted, I will bargain like hell when it does come. I've been waiting for about three months now for the car. Seeking the Toyt GR86 Premium Manual Halo.
Hopefully they'll work with you a little bit. Goodluck on picking it up my dude 🔥🥳
The question is wrx 2022 or brz 2022, in the process of buying but can’t choose beetwen them 🥴
BRZ 100%, then again I'm not a big fan of the new wrx 😅
My 15 sti passenger seat sensor doesn't go off with my phone
Jealous 😪
@@Smeedia yeah. I always put stuff there. Unless it's different due to it being a "base" sti
I never realized they the brake master cylinder flexes... I guess that's something to take care of now lol
Makes a night and day diffrenece with the brakes 🔥🥳
15:30 - The proper seating is to be able to rest your wrist on the top of the steering wheel with a slight bend in the elbows. I don't know why people like to drive with their arms stretched out. Imagine trying to avoid a wreck like that...
It may just be a feel thing, but in an automatic I think my driving position is typical, but in a manual I like to be cramped in there. Kind of like it is a cockpit.
Same!!! Whenever I'm in a manual I have to be all up in the sauce 😅
Probably gonna try and get a used one of these in like 2 years when I trade in my new car or just get a new car
Hey can you do a video on j pipes from different brands and gesi vs non gesi. Grimmspeed just released a gesi that's two pieces. Would just love your take on it. Also great video on the brz.
Yes I can 🤙
In the UK we do not get the BRZ anymore. We only get the Toyota GR86
They don't even bring the BRZ over there now?! 😳
I think it looks great
How did you not love it? Instantly a gorgeous car. I decided to get the Corolla hatchback XSE instead of it becuz of mark up.
Hey mate. Good review. How about the sound system, is it really that bad?
I was close to getting one until the Toyato dealer in Doral miami decide to put a 15k mark up on, stood up and left same instant
15K?! 😳
SMEEDIA!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
JEREMYYYYY!!!!
I have the cell phone weight sensor issue in my 18 STi as well, confused me for about a week before i figured it out and realized it was a subie thing lol
Lol surprised they haven't fixed it yet
I get people who get on my ass on my 05 Legacy GT and its ANNOYING...but I'm use to it as I initiate a break check :)
I don't brake check but I'll never understand the riding if the asses 😆
Hey at 14:31 did you mean 32 instead of 42? I believe its rated between 27-30 mpg hwy (depending on 86/brz and manual/auto) so 42 sounded like a stretch to me. If you are actually getting 42 then you just sold me on this car lmao. Appreciate this video btw you spoke on a lot of topics potential buyers are interested in
Negative senior, been getting low 40s for MPG when driving normally. That's keeping RPM low and using higher gears
@@Smeedia Hold up thats insane. So cruising at 65ish mph in 6th gear?
Lol I use to live in Redmond 😅 I recognize some of those places 😅 I use to shop at the whole foods there😆
Little more south of Redmond but close 😅💪
I agree. Fuck the mark up.
Thanks for the vid. It's inspiring
🙏🙏🙏
Was considering trading my corolla hatchback for the new gr86
But I love this hatch
Will wait to buy the 86 in future
Can't go wrong with a good hatch 🔥
GR Corolla
Really wish Toyota had just done these solo and put their turbo 3 they have in the GR Yaris/Corolla.
That would be gnarly🔥
Couldn't agree more about the seats. Dont know why they didnt put a more aggressive bolsters in the sti. Just makes the brz feel sharp sitting still
That's what I'm saying! They feel so good!
Wish there was more available to buy.. most likely gonna have to pre-order the 2023 version at this rate
Hopefully one comes up for you 🤞🤞🤞
My subaru contacted me saying they just opened up orders! Getting mine in Augustish can't wait!
I think a nice wing/spoiler would tie in the rear a lot better.
Agreed 🔥🤌
There is no way you are going to keep this car basic....I see you enjoying it so much that you go all out on it....
Lol you right 😅😅
The seat dings because the phone is plugged into your usb outlet. The phone generates an electrical field that creates a faulty signal for the weight alarm to be triggered when plugged in. When its unplugged it wont go off.
My wrx does the same thing and I randomly figured that out. Sadly every spot in the car to store a phone is way to small, and my cup holder has turned into a phone holder.
Even when it's not plugged it still does it. A water bottle in its place sets it off 😅
My phone in the cup holder with the usb cable on the seat makes it go off lol.
Laughing at the people saying that the front looking like a Porsche is a bad thing! Hell I don't even mind the back end. Only thing I would do is see if I could get an after market blue Subaru badge like on the higher trim level because those look great with the white paint.
Ohhhh yes 🔥
Good stuff man. What oil cooler are you using?
Color fittings kit 😁
Honestly you never see a supercharged subie barely ever and I know my mate supercharged an ej201 a basic Na Impreza engine it had 92kw and 180 nm of torque we chucked it a raptor supercharger on it with full exhaust fuel tune ect and it pumped out 134kw and 345 nm of torque at only 9 psi.. he realised the stock internals wouldn’t as last if he increased boost so his currently getting new camshafts new inter cooler all that jazz to suit to see how good a lil na subie from the 90s goes on an fully open deck block with no forged pistons 💯 some times something different stand out above the rest 👍🏽 now off the line we can take on 4l inline 6sixes and even the occasional stock v8 all depends on who’s driving 😜
I've tossed around the super charger idea but for the price of a super charger kit you could do turbo as well and make more power 🤔
Sound really nice. I use a plug to trick the seat belt sensor. The gearbox is reinforced on the new Gen. Brake fluid is different it's a lot better in BRZ high temp DOT4 but the toyota is more tail happy... Randy Pobst words not mine ;)
Glad to hear they beefed up the trans a bit more 🔥
Put my deposit in for the gr86, now I'm just waiting for stock to come in second half of the year 😭
Hopefully they come sooner than later 😭
I am from WA, may i know the dealership or the salerperson you dealth with. i would love to order a 2023 if i could get it for less than MSRP. I firmly believe that paying over 30k for limited is not worth it
Ended up snagging mine for around 29K they might work with ya a little
