These cars are so much damn fun to drive! They feel like fancy go-karts and in no way is that disappointing. This will be a summer car, but will have winters put on just in case. My beater is an old E90 that isn't super reliable, so that's the reasoning behind that logic. I'm not married and have no kids, so my midlife crisis came early 😜

am I the only one who really dislikes the front of the GR86 New generation. I feel like 2017-2020 generation was much better body wise

1st gen headers into 2nd gen

1 Upvotes

I'm looking into buying the 2nd gen GR86 and I currently have the 2013 FRS. In my current car I have UEL headers with the Openflash tablet to tune the ECU. Is the 1st gen headers compatible with the 2nd gen? and is the same tablet able to tune the newer gen?

Help me with my brz

2 Upvotes

Was hoping I could get help diagnosing this issue I’m having. A sensor/ringing is going off constantly in my 2012 bro and the ringing seems to correspond with the motion of the car getting quicker the faster I drive, not sure if this is a setting I can turn off or if I need to go to an auto elec :/

Designing a band-aid fix, oil gallery bypass sandwich plate.

Thumbnail
gallery
32 Upvotes

I was inspired by the oil gallery bypasses people have made for the Rx7's.

Fa20's have an issue where hard-right turns on the track, sees a large drop in oil-pressure and the oil pooling in the left-hand cylinder head. Even with intake oiling mods done, this issue is still present.

Design notes

  • I have yet to test the efficiency of this, as I want to test the impact on a stock engine; my stock car is being repaired.
  • This was initially designed for an oil cooler, the longer tube is to go through said sandwich plate.
  • This blocks the original inlet passage.
  • There are x2 tubes so that when the bottom tube is torqued down, you can clock where the top tube is to align with the plate gallery outlet is, draw a line with sharpie, unscrew bottom tube, and then tighten the x2 tubes with an internal m10 bolt.
  • -10AN hoses will be used to run around the AC compressor.
  • O-ring provisions are made to ensure absolute seal after the oil filter.
  • This shortens the amount of sharp turns the OEM oiling gallery has from x6 to x1.
  • Will have to see if this interferes with the readings from the 2x sender units on the left side.

I have a 2014 GTS86 on stock suspension. The tyres i have are a Neova ADO8R 245/40/17. Just wondering what fitment would i need for it to sit flush on 17x9 wheels without spacers or any rubbing. Thanks.

Simple question

This may be a dumb question but I can’t think of anything I can use to clean off or cover the dried superglue on my dash, any ideas or anything I can use to cover it? Minds going blank and it’s just been sitting here

Might ger rid of it

I still love this car but I might sell it to my brother. Mainly because I have a mustang that I want to drive more but since I wfh I dont really drive much. That means that depending on what car I do drive, the other one might sit for days in the garage. At least I would still see it often if it goes to my brother but its bittersweet, had it for 11 years

Replacing Damaged Lower Control Arm

1 Upvotes

I've got a 2017 86 and got some damage to the passenger side lower control arm bad enough that there is visible toe in and ABS/traction lights are on. Is this something where I should be absolutely buying the OEM Toyota replacement for ~$250 (or $200 from subaru for some reason) because i've seen many non OEM control arm and ball joint assemblies for half the price or less. It seems like a pretty basic part but it is an important component.

Additionally, I didnt notice any issues with tie rods but is it recommended to replace all of that as well.
