yeah the stock one.. I used it for weekday car...
I have one but im on stock wheels @86_ronin
@Daniël van Opstal I have a BRZ and my friend has a 370Z. The 370Z is defnitely more powerful but my buddy (the owner) has told me that if it was gonna be his daily driver, he'd much rather have a BRZ. The BRZ/FR-S/GT86 is way more nimble and feels a lot more playful. You can definitely feel the weight of the 370Z when you get into it. Sure, it's got a nicer interior and it's faster/more powerful, but it's definitely not as fun.
U know wat i just realised? He sounds like the car guy version of linus tech tips
Stanley Chen broooo I thought the same exact thing 😂😂💀
Thanks lol I was wondering why he sounded so familiar. It makes sense now
I laughed way too hard at this.
shit ahaha
Yo! I never made that connection but your right, now wonder why I liked watching these videos!. Plus I am a BRZ owner =)
B is for boxer, R is for rear wheel drive, Z is for zero power (I own a BRZ)

This is a proper tuner car. Nothing comes even close with aftermarket support.
Modded miata will. But I do like your energy!

Drak Václav lol civics
to be fair, a proper tuner car making real numbers wont need that much aftermarket support. strong base > easy base. why do you think civics have a lot of support too? theyre slow.

I love my BRZ. It doesn't matter how much power your car has if it handles like shit. The BRZ/FR-S/GT86 platform handles like a dream. I often find myself trying to think of excuses to go somewhere just so I can drive it.
i just got a 2013 frs and i find myself in this situation very often.
„It doesn’t matter how much power your car has if it handles like shit“ don’t say that around scat pack owners 😂😂😂😂
I had a brz 2020 but traded it with a 370z like 3 months ago and the 370z feels way better in corners by far more
Having a used FRS as my first car has been amazing so far! It never fails to put a smile on my face on a bendy road, and the lower horsepower number keeps me out of trouble when riding around town. I couldn't really ask for more out of the car. The people that complain about the lack of power have never driven it properly. When my friends and I go for a spirited drive, they are merely a dot in my rear-view mirror on bendy backroads. If you ever get the chance to take one of these cars for a spin, it is totally worth it.
Idk what’s with American guys but they love to have power on straights but that’s not that fun

@@Slow5Ohhh I’m thinking of getting one for my first car
I love my 86. Favourite car I've ever owned. But if you think it's not fast enough, the roads you're driving on are too straight.
agreed, I got a 2017 model, and he explained this just right, theyre legos man, mix and match, and the handling is beyond perfect
Destiny's Computer agreed
But the 86 was meant for drifting and not for straight lines but it is a good car in my opinion also
I find that the curvier the road the more I coast in the straights. I had a 15' brz premium and loved it for 150k miles. Recently picked up a BRZ sT it's a completely different animal it hunts apexes and takes work to kick the tail.
Relate
The only modern Japanese sports car that's trying to keep the spirit of the 90s alive.
(low hp numbers, not about fancy interior, RWD, good platform/chassis to build on, cheap parts, affordable car, MANUAL...)
The skylines, rx7s, supras, and nsx had to adhere to the gentlemans agreement and made up for the power short comings with making a platform that handled well. Something modern sports cars don't do too often. It's all about high power and v8s now.
V8's are on their way out though...
Aside from the three American pony cars (who all offer smaller engines now) and obviously high priced vehicles, who's using V8s in lower end sports cars now? Almost everything is a turbo 4 or 6.
I get the 10 seconds or less excitement going straight, but going in to the corners, and exiting speed after is lots of fun.....for me, that's where this car shines
@@user-gm4kv2my4u I don't know about that one bud. It seems like every drift car or swapped motor car has a v8 these days. Trucks still commonly run them as well (that or diesels).
Which sucks, because i hate seeing a dope ass tuner and then hearing a v8 when they fire it up. It's like seeing a beautiful "woman" in the club and when she speaks you realize it was a man all along...
@@mamoruokinawa I'm the exact same way. I'm far less impressed with high HP numbers and for more impressed by lap times or time attacks on extremely curvy/technical/tight tracks.
I won't go as far as saying drag racing takes zero skill but I think it takes alot more to handle a rally car or f1 rather than a top dragster.
@@_SKDK_ my kind of a guy....enjoy your car ......
People hate that there are the 86 and the BRZ, but I kinda like it.
It gives off a Trueno/Levin vibe to me
@@misterpspdude both had a 4a-c sohc motor and the 4a-ge dohc motor, the only difference was were the front quarter panels, grill, headlights and bonnet i do believe, give or take a few radiator mounts as well but other than that...
x15adam THATS not true. Levin was fixed headlights, Trueno was pop-up headlights. Both came with either the SOHC or DOHC as an option depending on if you bought the GT-S/GT-V, Apex, or SR-5 models.
I dislike it but I hope u know that doesent matter if u wanna rice rice
If ya wanna like brz like brz don't let anyone tell u ur wrong u do u this is your money and your passion
Re minds me of the 1993 Levin/1993 impraza couple
Its named after the AE86 lol

best daily I ever owned. Running cost : fun factor ratio is through the roof compared to anything else
Eyyyy 2013 FRS guy here. My VIN# just barely squeaked out of the recall ranges. Still going strong :D No valve spring issues, no blowy uppy motor, nothing.
It's like a little family. Every single time I see someone in one of these cars we wave, or we flash lights, whatever. They also look great cruising as a crew. The car has character in loads. Ask an FRS/BRZ owner where his rattle is, and you'll get a different answer every single time. Mine went from inside my driver door to the dash to the passenger door and now is somewhere between the rear window and my trunk.
Nope, not a power car, but it does sound absolutely mint with the MXP Comp RS catback I have on there.
Actually, since the OFT tune to take out the torque dip, and the tiny power increase from a larger intake, it is a lot more peppy in the lower RPMs. But even with it having low power, once you cross the 4k RPM line it becomes a lot more fun. It's like the car has two personalities - below 4k RPM it's this benign little cruising car that just likes looking cool, but after that 4k line it sort of wakes up and wants to go fast.
Just don't be an asshole in this car because it really doesn't have the balls. I do find some people really can be idiots around the car though. Like you'll get people that want to show you up and blast by or tailgate you or whatever, meanwhile you're just out going to Walmart enjoying your car.
Everyone else in my experience though absolutely loves the car, ESPECIALLY non-car people. A few simple visual mods and people will talk to you endlessly at gas stations and such that have zero idea about the car scene but dig your car specifically. My favorite so far being some dude coming out of a grocery store, handing me a beer, cracking his open, pointing at the car, saying cheers, and walking off.
Be ready for the attention from the general public. People stare at it once you start modding it. I dropped mine by a few inches, added some wheels, stanced them flush with the body, replaced all the lighting with color matched LEDs and HIDs, blacked EVERYTHING out, and literally every light or corner or parking lot people stare at it. Sometimes you'll enjoy the attention, sometimes you'll hate it because you modded it for yourself, but on the whole it's worth it.
I've had my FRS for 4 years now. I STILL get compliments on it every day. I've paid it off and people still think its some fancy new car. I've gotten another much faster car, and I still prefer driving this one around most of the time. I'm 100% keeping this car until the wheels fall off. It's not a car for everyone, but if it does appeal to you its fuckin great.
Also I have Gram Lights 57dr’s, no RPFevery1’s here lol.
Whats your faster car?
What's your other car? Also yeah I'm excited to buy one when the time comes. I'm actually gonna turn 16 in a few months and my parents fixed up my mom's old car that's been in the driveway for years so YAY free car.
I just bought a 2013 frs, they unfortunately didn’t have a manual on hand so I got an automatic. Will it last me a little while? It’s got 45k miles and one owner and I’m now the second one.
@@darrenstager1311 to answer your question, yes. I drove mine to 100k before i bought a newer one. This one is at 40k. Not a single issue my man. Just do routine maintennace and she will take care of you
@@surferman911 Sorry I never answered this, but Infiniti G37 coupe with some bolt-ons
You guys did it! Finally after all the begging!
Cup Cakeo they heard our constant bitching and gave in
I got a 350z, but recently I went to go test drive a GT86. It was crazy fun. It may not have close to the same power in comparison, but it still handles and drives like you're going fast. And with TC off the rear end feels like it's just begging to go sideways. I would definitely get one if I didn't already have my Z :)
I bought the 2018 '86' last year and as a big Celica fan, I found this beast to be an excellent ride! No it isn't the fastest car in its class, but these cars are not for straight lines they are for track work and given that these engines can get up to 800Hp, if you want more power output you can just be prepared to pay for it.
I have a Brz and just wanted to say this is the best video explanation yet that I've seen online about these cars thank you🙏🏾
My favourite thing about being a BRZ guy is the variety of styles people go with. There's stancy bois, drifty bois, serious racecar bois, engine swapped drag cars, the odd rally build, and some old dudes that keep it stock and never drive it hoping it'll be a collectable some day, and the car generally does all of those things pretty well when the mods are done right. Also most of the people are super friendly. I actually ended up getting my first career job as an indirect result of a guy knocking on my window to tell me he has the same car as me.
I had the 1st ever Toyota Special Edition 860. Production model #1 out of 860 in Halo White. I have uploaded and submitted my one of a kind car to your gallery.
This was the car that also introduced the dumb “Noise enhancing Intake tube” the one that goes from the intake into your fire wall. To “Enhance” the engine sound......it’s also unfiltered intake air. And has an intake muffler, intake debris trap and corrugated intake tubing.
The first and only RWD Subaru. Instant classic. A boxer motor for a lower center of gravity over the front tires. Creating the coolest site out the windshield, the hood design.
The hood is prone to twisting and flexing. I wouldn’t get a carbon fiber hood unless you also plan on getting hood pins too. The stock hood when driving I saw flex in the corner of my eye a lot which is a distraction and poor for racing. I installed flush mount hood latches. Looked amazing. They used OEM holes in the hood skeleton so not cutting the structurer of the hood. Looked Factory.
They never changed the design or performance of the oil pump. Which aerates the oil when you go over 7K RPM.
It has MacPherson struts. Which is an ugly suspension set up. But somehow managed to build a car that despite its poor quality handling characteristics. Out performs the rest on race tracks. Imagine what they could have done with SLA.
If you want to gain the perfect performance platform. FT86 Open flash tuning tablet. Get Perrin or better Intake tubes and delete the stupid stuff. Delete the catalytic converter, no high flow just get rid of it. The emissions are already so low that you will still pass in California. Get a lightweight flywheel (unless you plan on using a sprintex/edlebrock supercharger) 17lbs is fine, but you can go as Low as 10 but then you have other drivability and wear concerns to worry about later. Get the one piece Aluminum/Carbonfiber drive shaft. The weight saves on your drivetrain will make for the most remarkable driving experience and greatly improve performance.
Brakes. Go big or go home (Brakes only slow you down anyway) suspension stock works well but I recommend the cheapest you should go is eibach no cheaper if you’re replacing. Increase Swaybar stiffness and then get better bushing. Tahdah the perfect 86/BRZ for under $2000 in mods.
P.S. if you have a 2017 or newer model. You’re obligated to replace every light with LED. The head lights, tail lights, and fog lights are done for you. So you need as follows: Interior Dome, Interior Door (bottom corner), Side Marker, Trunk, Reverse, Plate, 4th Brake Lights.
Would you like to know more?
no that was good thanks
More please
more pls, thanks
Is it safe to run a lightweight flywheel with a turbo?
they're some very good looking cars and the mod ability is fantastic! took one for a test drive a few years ago and was very impressed with the factory package, it's a great platform to start with.
Love my BRZ. Tip: if you get the manual, Altimas can't keep up 👌🏾
Idk if it was a maxima or altima but it was a v6 and it kept up. We werent racing but i was flooring it and he was behind me chasing. Im pretty sure he would have beaten me.
@@Ryan-ue9ve I don't know what they had done to it but I personally haven't had either one of those come close. I've beaten a couple different cars. And it was us actually racing (disclaimer) nothing crazy though
@@JBC1154 they probably werent the v6 versions. Their rated 0-60 is also faster than ours so im pretty sure they can hang or beat us.
@@Ryan-ue9ve I don't do 0-60 only highway stuff so like 40 roll 50 roll 60 roll. After some of the stuff I beat I couldn't see those coming close. Especially if I mix in e85 with 93. But I know someone with one I'll have to race him to see
@@JBC1154 oh yea that was on a stock tune. Im on e85 right now and i think it would walk it slowly but im not sure. E85 makes this car feel proper. I honestly dont really think in needs a lot of power but i could never go back to stock tune. I dont beat mustangs or any v8s but i could kinda hang with a newer v6 camaros. I do have a turbo waiting to be installed on this car so im excited to see what 330whp will feel like.

I've watched videos here and there about these cars but recently REALLY got into them, the differences (BRZ ftw, and I'm a Toyota guy), if they make a good daily, snow, etc, and this is THE best video I have come across. You kept it short, sweet, and most importantly engaging. You KILLED it on presentation as well. I look forward to watching your future videos. Keep up the great work! PS the white BRZ at 7:47 is boosted, correct? I like the black one on the track after it.
I've owned a 2017 86 now for 3 years, absolutely love the car. Haven't done too many mods but honestly the car doesn't need a ton (and I'm poor), but I didn't buy it to go fast in a straight line, I bought to get sideways and maybe go fast doing it lol. This car is a drift beast, and the depreciation on them is pretty decent so this is, I'd say, the "next 240SX" in a way.
FINALLY!!! I own an FRS and you guys hit all the marks in reviewing the platform without harping too much on power which in most videos make the car look...well...weak by the end. I have driven several cars including an FD and Celica GT4 while living in Japan and this car is the easiest and most fun per dollar I have ever spent. Current build consist of,
Tomei unequal length header (wrapped)
PLM front pipe
PLM over pipe
Koni Yellow struts(adjustable)
TRD Springs
TRD rear swaybar
White Line front sway bar
White Line front endlinks
Camber plates (-3.0)
OFT 93 octane tune
Stop tech cryo front rotors
Hawk HPS pads
Enkei RPF1 (wrapped in potenza RE71's)
Things to come:
E85
Racing seat
Racing steering wheel
Rear seats removal,
Half cage
Harness
Aluminum drive shaft
Clutch
Lightweight flywheel
Hood vents
I still remember the first time I heard about this car and loved the concept of a light RWD car that compares to a miata. Definitely one of the best looking cars and are very fun but if only they came off the line with a turbo... if only.
Awesome video! I absolutely love my FR-S! have had it for a year and a half, and it's still stock. Starting to make a little more at my job, so now I'll be able to pursue some mods! Super excited! XD
I just bought an FRS 5 days ago and I’ve never owned a car that puts a smile on my face so much

I just bought my FRS for my first car. Watching this has me all the more excited to find out about cars!
I love my FRS. My wife bought me a first year model the summer they were first released. Man, she spoiled me. I had wanted one when I first saw them, but never imagined owning one. They turn super well, are fun to drive, and I got so many compliments. It was definitely a car I really wanted, and almost 11 years later, I still love getting in and driving.
I don’t have a BRZ but I’m about to get one and this video offered some good foresight into what I am contemplating purchasing.
Love my 15 FRS. It’s my DD and couldn’t be happier.
Love my 2015 fr-s had it for a little over 5 years and I still turn heads and compliments to this day
Just bought one as a reliable sports car/daily driver for to and from work and I absolutely love it! Gets great fuel economy and the mods to do to them are virtually endless!
I just bought one today. Have you had any reliability issues? Any major repairs?
@@isaacbrock00 no not really except for the infotainment system in the BRZ. It connects to your phone whenever it feels like it.
@@isaacbrock00 have you had any problems with it currently? Thinking ab selling my Z for a better gas mileage car, would you recommend it?
@@taleent4700 mine has been mechanically solid so far.
@@isaacbrock00 Thank you, i’m going to consider this car fs tthen
Love my 2016 FRS. Over the years, definitely have modified it. Currently have 18" Enkei Kojins on super sports. Valenti tail lights, TRD exhaust, and a bunch of other interior/exterior mods. Just ordered an OFT v2, gonna flash to a stage 1 93 octane tune fairly soon!
This hit me hard. Yes I have a bonestock BRZ, and RPF1s are on my STI though.
I have one and the numbers thing was something I expected but what I didn’t expect was the fact it handles so well it doesn’t feel like the car is trying to kill you
Just recently financed a 2020 Hakone 86 and I love it.
I've been waiting for this video since the beginning of the series.
ANNNNND HERE WE GO! 😂🤘
I've had a BRZ for a year now, haven't done any mods yet because I'm still trying to learn about the car and what it can handle. However, I must say the BRZ is an incredible ride.
Your intro pumped me up, im not gonna lie :P I sold my BRZ for an STI 1 year ago and now I'm lookin at getting in a BRZ again. I think a (used, low miles) 250whp BRZ is the perfect car under $30K and there's a TON of kits to choose from to get you there. Its all about the low center of gravity for me. That car is so damn fun.
Highly considering buying a BRZ! I love the idea of everything you can do to mod it. Imma make the move!💯👍
EVERYTHING has been done? I lived out of my BRZ for about 6 months in a parking lot, road tripped with it, car camped at national parks, tracked it, and daily commute with it.
SOOOOOOoooooo :DDD
Thank you for explaining the deal between the two companies. I was searching over internet for an explanation but all I got was performance comparisons -.-
Bought me an FRS a few months ago and BOY HOWDY is it a joy to drive. Can't wait to start putting some dressy new wheels on it, hopefully by Fitment Industries
Recently supercharged my FRS with Vortech's complete tuned kit. I tell ya, it's a night and day difference. The car was enjoyable before, but now I'll find any excuse just to drive it somewhere😊
I love my FRS. I didn't want all the power but a better car than my old TC. I also love the look and sound of the car. If they keep making it, in a couple more years I'll get a newer model of the same car.
I love my 2019 TRD 86. I've started adding aftermarket parts to it.
As a 2013 FRS owner, bought brand new, this is the car that wanted when I was 21. Now that I'm nearly 67, she is still the car I want to drive. I grew up in a 1968 Coronet R/T, so if you want speed, buy speed. Let's talk about unique, save tires (Mich PSS) and TRD brake pads, mine's stock (50k+ miles). Almost forgot the US 129 Dragon sticker on the driver's side rear window. That's my list of mods, might think about finding another 30 HP and little more torque, but that would be all she needs. This a very fun car to drive on a winding road.
So you want a Nissan 240sx.
Pretty much a modern one
Your in for a ton of disappointment
i just commented this now … im too late :( check my 240 btw IG: juniorschassis $ u wont be disappointed
Then your willing to spend at least 7k to make it at least competitive. Just import a 180sx...
Bro you called it
Dude that comparison at 3:06 sounded like straight outta your life 😂✌️
That background set and lighting FIREEE!

Showed up in my feed so:
I own a 2016 BRZ (bought new) and liked the car as both a daily driver and occasional track use.
BUT after I installed the Edelbrock Supercharger kit (easy install!) and had DD Performance in Texas tune it (gets 287 HP) it's AWESOME and what the car was supposed to be. I kept the car 'stealth' externally so it's not cop bait. Went with wider wheels and tires, race brake pads n fluid and some suspension mods.
Note: I could have gone with E85 too for even more HP but since so many people seem to have 'rapid unintended engine disassembly' with rod breakage going over 300HP I stayed with the more easily available 93 octane and the power is "just right"
Love working on my FR-S. Flipped all the internal harnesses to that of a 2017 BRZ with door Harnesses from Japan for the power fold-in side mirrors. Love the amount of support you can find...well anywhere. You may not be a one off in the world, but you can make an imprint depending where you live.
Got in pictures or a ig? would love to see it.
Have a '13 BRZ and love it. Intake, catless front pipe, N1 running out the back. Just ordered a set of wheels and tires this morning from you guys and am crazy excited to receive them! Wanted some bigger wheels and wider tires ever since I bought the car so just can't wait to get them and throw them on! 6-12 days is estimated delivery!
Get some headers and start running ethanol
I have a GT86 and it's an awesome car, I don't look for 500bhp straight lines but to drivability and it's great fun..
I just bought an frs today!
update on it ?
@@franiaaa check out my ig if you want to see it @86rumble
@@jacobmay6032 ohh yessiirr omw
I didn't see this video until after I had already gotten my FRS but I loved the fact that my MST MT01 wheels that I bought from you guys was in the backround
I daily drive my BRZ and i live in Alberta Canada. Yes...i do drive it in the winter. Its a blast.
This will become a great classic car in the future, just like the FD RX-7
I love my FRS for the aftermarket, my brother loves his stock, my buddy loves his for the stance life, my wife on the other and is one of those people who says it's under powered and shes much happier driving a mustang.
I've done zero, zip, nada to this car, it's fast enough for normal traffic (unless you want to track) and it still makes me smile when I apply some deliberate oversteer and put down throttle at 25-30mph :D
I love my FRS. Favorite car I've owned. Only my third, but still. Only thing I miss from my first car (Civic) is the sunroof.
Mine's a 2013, buuuuuuuuuuuut it escaped the valve recall by a few numbers. I got the recall notice, looked at a bunch of vin lookup sites, then finally called my local dealer and they told me mine didn't need to come in. I was so ecstatic about that after hearing about them exploding pulling out of the repair shops.
The one thing that I'd say is maybe a con, is that even after this much time, the aftermarket zone is SO competitive. It can be hard to get certain parts that end up being on CONSTANT BACKORDER EVERYWHERE. Sar LSR wing I'm looking at you. Spyder / OLM headlights I'm looking at you too. Someday baby, someday. I'll live with my broken ass Winjets with one working highbeam flappy thingy for now.
It's a hilariously fun little car to drive. If done up right it turns heads and looks like it's worth four times what you paid for it.
Mine's been reliable the entire time I've owned it, and anything that's gone wrong was 100% my own goddamn fault, my favorite being not tightening down my battery positive one day and wondering for two weeks why the car was constantly shutting off going 65 on the highway. First time that happened I was like OH GOD IT'S THE VALVES SHE'S TOAST.
But it's taken me learning stick on it, stalling it constantly the first few days I owned it (:P, seriously, I had my dad drive it home the hour from the dealer because I wanted to learn in my own neighborhood, and he drove it better than I do now, despite not having driven stick in 40 years and his last manual being a '64 bug. Even he had this huge ass smile on his face the entire time he drove it home. I even had the dealer drive the thing for the test drive cuz I didn't wanna break their car). It's taken me lowering it and learning the hard way to avoid potholes. It's taken me learning how to be a Chris Fix Certified mechanic without complaint. The worst it's given me is one of my TPMS sensors breaking and rattling around in one of the wheels lol.
At the end of it all it's still a blast to drive it every day. I've FINALLY gotten it out of the garage after this year's Canadian winter and even after owning it three and a half years I still enjoy it every time I get in.
I didn't expect the car to have this much... Character. I came from a 2012 Eco mode Civic coupe, and it was a night and day difference. No, it's not a zippy boi, but it doesn't matter. It makes up for it by feeling like a really big go-kart whenever you drive it.
Go into the purchase knowing what you're getting and what you're not getting. That's the only thing I'd probably advise.
building up power is more fun than just straight up buying power from the factory.
Always wanted a brz and no one has ever changed my mind
just got myself a 2017 gt86 with the added spoiler for looks, love it so far, it handles amazingly
I’m happy with my 1.6 MX5 (pop ups 4life). I appreciate the handling and light weight.
The 86 seems like the next logical car for my garage, basically I would do “OEM plus”. Need nothing else. Life’s good.
Amazed for my 86 to be on the Video Cover Photo ❤️ Thank you @FitmentIndustries
The world is flat! I love my brz. Even if I'm slow in a straight line I promise you'll never have the fun I have on canyon and mountain roads 👌👌
Actually theres plenty of cars that will probably out handle an FRS, 90's hondas, miatas, and easier to make fast
I bought my Toyota 86 for one reason only... Ok one big reason, it loves the turns. It hugs the road. It is one of the best handling for the price point. All the other things I love about it are gravy.
I bought a 2015 FR-S in “Asphalt”. Traded it for a 2017 86 in “Halo”. Then traded that for a 2019 86 TRD SE! I call the first two my “Training Cars” for the TRD SE. it’s time to bolt on some more power!!!
I am very happy with the platform because it’s like driving a go-cart! But, it still needs more power! Another 80 to 100 horses would make the driving experience so much more fun!!! Love to be able to Smoke everyone that wants to play!
"they may not be the fastest care in the market", couldn't be more true. It's the skyline look that gives it its attraction. It's sad to see the same car driven around the city every 10 minutes.
Let’s go you finally upload this I’ve been commenting it for ever
What think he forgot to include. Is that it's a jdm car with enough driver room for a tall guy like me. I'm on my second brz now and i love that i didn't have to modify the seats on either to be comfy.
I loved my 2016 Drs and 2017 bra out of the box. But every mod has made it that much more fun to drive.
BRZ Owner here... yup. I definitely have a set of RPF1's, Tomei Headers, and Tein coilovers.
Ha. Ya me too.
i love my 86. not on rpf1’s either. but i do have tomei uel headers 😅 and tein coilovers 😅
I’m on rpf1’s and Tein coilovers 😰😅 at least they’re gold instead of the standard silver.
Briton Jones hey they all look really good imo. i don’t hate. i’m on esr sr06 in gloss black on a black body
Same
is that ah tomei dawg!?
The Hakone 86 Edition is amazing in green. Love the tan leather seat trim and the wheels.
Chuck Cribbs my cousin just got his and it looks amazing.
2016 FRS absolutely love it!
Been eyeing the 86 for a few months now. It but I'm a college student and probably wouldn't be wise to buy a $30k car right now
Perhaps after college and once you had a decent job, you'll be owning the car in no time bro! Best of luck in making your dream of owning this car possible! 💪🏻
I've seen some that go for like $18k-$19k but brand new yeah you're going to have to spend $30k
I’m about to buy one for 22 15k deposit rest on finance
@@crokodile5725 same lol I'm can finance for 14k . I just know insurance gunna be a pain to pay
Imma pay the 18k then ask my parents and my grandparents to each pay 4k. And if not then just slap it on a loan it isn't that much
Dang son, i have a stock early (march) 2013 and never taken it back for the recalls. 65k km not problem. so fun, thought this would be a neat video to watch and look at what the community thinks of this thing nearly 7 years into it
i love 86's brake lights. it looks so aggressive, it gives me heat molten red vibes.
I absolutely love my 86, uel headers, a tune, some wheels and tyres and she’s like a completely different car, feels absolutely perfect
Tbh, I do have a unique variant of the BRZ/FRS/GT86 triplets. Its the 2017 Series Yellow BRZ. In the 2 years I've had it, I have never seen another series yellow in person.
what I like most about my 86 is how easy it is to get it sideways and how predictable it is, all the way up to 10/10 driving. Even when the whole car is sliding sideways, it’s still insanely easy to manage. Many cars go like this:
nearly there, nearly there, nearly there, HOLY SHIT I’M IN A DITCH! The 86 is like: Nearly there, nearly there, definitely there now, wow, how much more can I get out of this? beyond there, still smiling, push harder, wow, that was easy, still on the road.
I love this video I had my heart set on a brz I really did drove it had some fun but then my buddy had to make me drive a s2000 and it was like I was a kid in the candy store there not crazy on the road you dont see them everywhere you go they have a great platform to work with and I'm just about finished with mine. Hope I can send you guys over a picture of the finished product
I’m picking up a 2017 series. yellow BRZ this Monday with only 2,000 miles on it. I love this car for what it is. A canyon carver that you can comfortably push to the limit. Very excited!!
How much bro
