man i was the exactly the same the first year it came out then i started seeing them in person and that got me hooked. i had to have it only car i can think of that is perfect to me for me and reasonably priced in this current economy
Like the look of the build! I have a Black 2023 GR86 and the color is a blessing and curse. It's nice when clean, but can be obnoxious cause it gets dirty pretty easily. It's been my daily for and it is a blast to drive. It's my first manual car and first time owning these type of cars. So all of my opinions and criticisms are from a first time owner perspective.
hey man we literally almost have everything the same build and color , except i went from my AWE track exhaust back to my stock since my neighbors gave me heat about it. love the build
AWE Track is louddddd. If you can find an HKS Spec L-2 for cheap or used you should give it a try. It's very mellow, barely louder than stock, so neighbors probably won't be bothered, but sounds way better than stock when you step on the gas.
Quick note about Eyesight. It doesn't throw check engine lights, it just beeps at you if you wander out of your lane or get too close to obstacles. I have a POV video with examples. Lane Detection can be turned off permanently, that's the orange light on the bottom right of the dash. Obstacle Detection can be turned off, but it comes back on after every engine restart. ua-cam.com/video/Uy7DSB7CX2Y/v-deo.html
no yeah i know what eye sights function is i was just trying to say the cars with most problems i seen arise more recently were the new years with the eyesight im not saying the eyesight function itself throws check engine light on
So I’m very tied in between spring or coilovers I know either way I’m doing lower control arms for front and rear but you relatively have the wheel im trying to have so i think all the after suspension parts may be overkill even if dialed in correctly
Just take it slow, piece by piece. The control arms could be overkill like you say, if you're just looking for good wheel fitment. Camber bolts for the front would probably be enough to get it how you want it to look and feel.
Yo sweet ride dude! Just picked up a ‘24 in silver last week. Love the car so far, need to get the tint and deactivate that pumped in fake noise. Is it fairly easy to do? Might get that cam like you did too
thank you ! and right on i’m glad silver is a very cool color as well and yes the fake noise deactivation is very easy and quick to do. just unplug the wire a quick youtube how to video should show a better visual on how to !
Was deciding on whether it’s worth buying the premium trim here in Cali considering one of the sellers is heated seats. What made you want to buy premium since I heard you’re around Bay Area?
Definitely a good video and I have been looking into a gr86 but the 36k price I’m not sure about since a m3 is about 50k maybe I could save or just have fun now 🤔
yeah but it’s a brand new car you’ll get it 0 miles compared to a m3 that most likely will have a good amount of miles on it brand new comes with the 3 year warranty but either or i bet both will be tons of fun. just comes down to person preference imo but thanks brother i appreciate it !
It's really a nice car but it's a damn shame about the engine. Pretty much half the people think a recall is gonna happen and the other half thinks toyobaru will just warranty em as they come hoping the bulk makes it past the warranty date. Either way, am jealous.
got a '24 in black, exact same feeling for the clutch spongy and unsure where the biting point is. hopefully a spring can fix that and not buy a whole assembly for it.
@@Gantzitoe @number1nerdy I feel you boys I didn't want to make excuses all other gears are okay but 1st and second no matter what I did it was terrible. Also, you have to feel and find the biting point and when you find it even if you hold it for a second to reduce slippage that still a tiny tiny jolt ... or is the jolt from the throttle? like when you add a little gas. Can't figure out which one it is
Hi! I’ve always wanted a GR86, and I’m planning to buy an automatic soon! (I can’t drive manual lmao😭😂). How are the blind spots in the car, in your opinion? I hear that many 86 owners say that oftentimes, other cars on the highway tend to not see them as well, and have encountered near accidents or almost getting side swiped. Have you experienced any of that while owning the vehicle so far?
i’ve had this car for over a year and never experienced that and have had similar small cars like this and never had that happen. i think just dumb drivers in their big trucks that don’t pay attention ahahah but i can see what you mean by blind spots i am able to see good enough but sometime i do think the A pilars can create a blind spot in a way when looking around but i tend to be more attentive all the time when driving better to be safe than sorry !
Thank u for the response ! Definitely so true. I always try to be attentive and extra cautious too on the road regardless but some drivers will always be bad drivers :(
I have the H-Tech with 20mm spacers on my BRZ. They take some time to break in, I hated them at first for being too bouncy. But it's been about a week since install and they've settled down a lot and they feel a lot more like stock, which is a good thing. The stock suspension on these cars is fantastic, just a little too tall to look cool lol
@@jaron95 yeah that was my thinking just a little drop. I’ve been debating between the h techs and s techs and I don’t want a huge drop. Probably gonna go with the h techs
thanks i appreciate it a lot ! and i hope they implement something to ease people’s mind o think these cars are pretty reliable or else their would have been a recall for something like the old gen had that valve spring recall
i get that but don’t hesitate to tbh they have been out a while now and only issues that ever come up mostly is tracked gr86 and standard warranty on these cars comes 3 years and if it last over the 3 years then it will sure last as long you maintain it just like any car. this is a dying breed probably last before the switch to electric vehicles and more just automatic transmission as well i don’t really see any other car that can beat this at this price range as well the rest of other good manual rwd cars are more expensive
All the blown engines have been due to over-rev with aftermarket turbo or money shifting which would kill any engine, or using 20 weight oil on track. If you're going to track the car, you need heavier oil like Xw30 or Xw40 and an oil cooler. Basically just mod appropriately for how you plan to use the car, and don't drive like a dummy 🤣

Good video, man. Looking forward to the next one from you.
i appreciate it so very much thank you !!
beautiful gr86
thanks alot brother i appreciate it !
the first time i saw the car online i wasnt too convinced abt the looks, but the more i see them on the road the more i fall inlove w how it looks
man i was the exactly the same the first year it came out then i started seeing them in person and that got me hooked. i had to have it only car i can think of that is perfect to me for me and reasonably priced in this current economy
@@Daniel_Barofor real tho, either you buy an older jdm car in good condition or you put a good down payment on a car like this lmaoo
Good video dude and sick car 👌
appreciate it a bunch 🤙 i’m glad some people are liking the video and car
Badass car bro, looks great
thanks i appreciate it brother !
Nice video bro keep it up.

hey thanks ! and i’m glad your first manual is this platform ! hope you enjoy it as a daily because i sure am
You sound like a chill dude, I also check my oil religiously lol
thank youu i appreciate you and good it’s way better to be safe than sorry !
W danny cool car man
i appreciate it !
hey man we literally almost have everything the same build and color , except i went from my AWE track exhaust back to my stock since my neighbors gave me heat about it. love the build
hey ! twins !! and sad you went to stock i don’t like the quiet with stock ahahah but thanks man appreciate it !

@@jaron95tomei is the best in my opinion. It’s just right not to loud and not to quiet either
Love the Color 🤌🏽 I have the gray color and it’s really sick to drive 🫡. Also POV videos drive in the mountains go crazy
thanks brother glad to see others enjoy this car as much as i do ! and i have yet to give mountains a try i will have to soon !

@@Daniel_Baro mb I misunderstood
you got it in the best color man
thank you !
So I’m very tied in between spring or coilovers I know either way I’m doing lower control arms for front and rear but you relatively have the wheel im trying to have so i think all the after suspension parts may be overkill even if dialed in correctly
Just take it slow, piece by piece. The control arms could be overkill like you say, if you're just looking for good wheel fitment. Camber bolts for the front would probably be enough to get it how you want it to look and feel.
i’d just do adjustable coilovers that have camber plates and if anything camber bolts as well for the front and you should be solid for good fitment
I get that nervous breathing too man. Its like you just sprinted a mile and can't catch your breath. Lol.
mannnnnn all my buddies and family make fun of me for it i thought i was the only one ! ahahaha
@Daniel_Baro nah bro first video ever you have no clue what to do say and it's super easy to be nervous don't stress it.

sick gr bro. Where'd you get that freshener hanging from your rear view mirror?
thanks bro and i got it from hello senpai on ig
Was deciding on whether it’s worth buying the premium trim here in Cali considering one of the sellers is heated seats. What made you want to buy premium since I heard you’re around Bay Area?
to me it was worth it due to better interior and the duck bill already installed and the 18 inch wheels wish 2023 premium came with the brembo brakes
If you could pick another daily other than the 86 what would you pick?
hmmm bmw m3 or m2 or porsche 911 manual or gt3 but too broke
I got my Pavement MT GR86 June this year.
the best color imo !
what are your thoughts on the eyesight tech?

What is the front splitter
ht auto front lip
Hey man, I've got one too, how do you find the clutch feel, mines brand new a bit spongy honestly. Hard to find biting point. How about you?
me too bro

@@Mk2rocket tried that too bro no god same thing

I'm just worried about the engine reliability, and i hope that Toyota or Subaru does something about it.
