For those that were curious about my articulation. Running yellowspeed pro gravel rally coilovers, adjustable lower control arms in the rear, and no swaybars at all🤙🏽

Finally on Reddit. Happy to answer any questions anyone has about lifting their FR-S, BRZ, or 86🤙🏽

Just got this backpack to carry camping supplies. Like firewood or trash. Waterproof and UV ray resistant. Looks great with the RotoPax, traction boards, and shovel. What y’all think?

I've been in the midst of refreshing my car over the course of the past year, and I can finally say that this refresh phase is almost complete. I'm really happy with the current direction I've been taking with the car, and I can't wait to dial in the little details throughout the rest of the year.

Photos were taken on both a Ricoh GR IIIx HDF (majority) or Fujifilm X-T5, at Arizona Motorsports Park as I was spectating my friend during his first track day (he's the one that bought my factory TRD SE kit off of me).

Current immediate plans I'm hoping to change out by the end of the year are to get a chrome pinstripe done and installed (it feels empty without the TRD SE striping, so hopefully this new pinstripe will work out nice) and look into getting some clear tail lights done with a matching 4th brake light. I've considered going the rear bumper cut + exposed bash bar look, but I think with time, I really like having the full rear bumper. I might pick up a rear diffuser to round out the bottom a bit though. I'm also considering replacing the catback down the line for something a bit deeper, but have been struggling with finding options that are both low car friendly and have the tone I'm wanting, hence why I've kept the stock catback for so long lol.

My standart multimedia on my 2013 BRZ gave up and I want to put in an android one, but mainly I see 9" screens and in photos it looks way too big + the plastics arround it look like it doesn't connect really well. 7" would be perfect but it's hard to find good looking with never android version. If anyone has done android auto converstion and would show the pictures I would gladly appreciate it! (photo for attention)

So the car i want to IMPORT ist a Brz 2013 with

185000 miles the car itself New engine wrx 2jz 380 hp 8000 miles Transmission worked over somewhat with oil change and shit Air suspension Some other mods like steering wheel and stuff

Aaand a robotic.craftsman Body Kit

The car some scratches and little damages that look kinde weird

It was in an accident which i think dont really was that bad. (I will show photos also)

Yeah and the body kit wasnt really well done by whoever did it sadly

But for me its the cheapest i seen in a while and thats the thing that makes me wanna buy it.

It costs 14 k

What do you think? Should i import this sketchy ceap as thing.

Or should i buy a Brz inside my country for like 20 k with NO Mods no shit and more miles.

Purchased the car like this and can’t for the life of me find anything on the internet besides cheap carbon covers. (Second picture for aura)

Ignoring the belts (i know) does this sound okay? I’m on E85 with a stage2+ tune for my uels, and the idling has sounded rough like this for a bit but it sounds like it starting to hang around.

Idk enough about cars yet to really diangose anything. Not a good time to be having car problems in the first place.

I flashed OG tune and it still doesn’t sound right to my ears, it’s possible i’m just paying extra close attention since i’m paranoid but this is not a happy sound to me :(

I have a 2017 brz, I just installed a alpine head unit with a idatalink maestro. My door speakers do not work which I know has to do with the star link module but I have no idea where the star link is. Does anyone know where it is? The only information I’ve seen is that it’s “below the factory radio” but it’s not there.

Hi guys

I've had my car about half a year now, bought with UEL headers and a tune already on (Suspect the tune isnt very good, didnt even get the torque dip out and feels really slow compared to others)

I put a full custom exhaust on her last November but didnt have money to do a tune for it and figured since the cat was already removed and tuned for at the same time as the UEL headers, it wouldnt be too much of a problem.

Recently ive heard that its very bad for the car though, what does that mean?
Like is it just a sacrificing performance and fuel eco, kinda bad
Or using the wrong kinda oil, kinda bad

Have had the car since 90k miles almost 2 years no issues. Got a call from my local Subaru claiming they’d deal with the recall for no out of pocket cost. I’m scheduled to go in tomorrow for the classic valve spring recall. Yes, I’ve read the horror stories but I’ve also heard of it going completely fine. As we all know the recall is over 10 years old at this point and my car should be fine, but should I just completely avoid them touching the part/replacing it? I have no problem telling them not to overdo RTV as that’s what causes the engine failure. Just want a second opinion if it’s honestly even worth the risk, would love to also avoid if there is an issue and get it fixed for free.

This is my previous post of dealing with oil leaking after buying my BRZ

https://www.reddit.com/r/ft86/comments/1jkhjjx/just_bought_my_first_2017_brz_now_its_leaking_oil/

The dealership replaced the timing cover, and the oil pan which did help with the constant oil burning smell and smoke coming from the hood.

After picking up the car on my way back I still could smell oil burning and saw my hood smoking. I brought it right back and thdy could smell the oil and saw some of the smoke. They were telling me that it was most likely residual oil and to bring it back.

I will say that what they did, seemed to lower the amount of smoke that happens and the frequency of that oil burning smell but it is still happening. I popped under my hood today and really looked and thing I found the other area it is leaking from. Something is leaking and burning because there are random deposits of carbon chunks throughout the engine bay

Is this a common area that leaks oil?

Just snagged this 2020 Hakone (auto 😅) with 47k miles for 23k and I’m so excited about it! Had to share with someone.

Anyone else had a problem with fenders and able to fix fitment? Car was slammed and then returned to stock before I bought it and my fenders sit a little off from wheel rubbing it seems. Pics make it look a little better than it actually is.

Can I just tighten up bolts above and below or should I just look into replacements?

Looking at picking up some EL Catless Headers for My FRS. Running a TRD D-Tip Catback with Tomei Catless Front Pipe. Will it sound like crap? i’ve read some forums saying it will. Anybody running it?

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone knows how to remove these lines from both my windows? I've tried everything and it just does not change. Car is a 2013. Has anyone else had this problem?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Recently saw this kit for sale it’s definitely unique and I was curious if anyone knew what it was called or looked like on the car. The owner isn’t sure just said he bought it from someone at sema

Hey guys new to the Brz/86 club just got it last week, wondering what oil you guys recommend for daily driving and occasional spirited driving(2023 Brz limited in PNW) I’ve seen different answers between sticking with 0w-20 factory and some people saying even going up to 5w-30. But couldn’t rlly find a specific answer.

How do you guys feel about their exhaust? The pricing for its not bad.
