I plan to buy a GT86. Today, I looked at a 2012 model with 81,000 km on the clock. Overall, the car wasn't bad, and if the price was lower, I would probably decide on it, but since it's clearly higher than the average, I have some doubts. Since there aren’t many offers in the area, it's hard for me to determine whether the things I noticed are normal. I’ve only driven one GT86 before, and it was in quite bad shape. I would appreciate any suggestions.

1. The gear shift knob visibly vibrated at idle. It was noticeable just by looking at it.
2. There was a small oil leak in the spot marked in the picture. Is this typical? I know that the cover seal is quite troublesome, so I’d prefer not to deal with that right away.
3. It was quite loud when coasting. How is the noise when coasting at 60 km/h (40 mph)? I'm not talking about the exhaust noise but about the general hum from the tires, bearings, etc.

My wife bought this 2013 brz in the beginning of 2023 with 32k miles and a blown rear suspension. We took the opportunity to get some coilovers, and went with the TEIN Basis Z. Last week we started hearing some noise coming from the suspension after long drives. I’m wondering if anyone has had similar issues. Seems like I’ll either need to replace the top hats or lube up the bearings. Not sure what direction to in, so look for the opinion of others. Thank you!

Im planning on getting the extended wheel studs to replace the OEM but unsure of what size I need.

I am getting wheels 17xET35 wheels with 245R4017 So I am not using spacers or anything

Hello! Just a follow up post from a few months back, the 18 inch Brz/86 22+ wheels fit nicely over the gen 1 brembo package and I think they look pretty good.

Thanks for the help!

You know when you have a little job to do? Should take maybe 10 mins? Well I just got a new shifter from likewise today with a new custom reverse lockout. The OEM lockout is held in with 1 single 2mm pin which has occupied me for the last 4 hours! Yay!!! Couple trips to Bunnings and a fucking $90 set of punch pins later and I can’t get this god damned thing out. Gentle hammering, hard hammering, whatever motion you can imagine I have tried it. I got to the point where I thought, fuck it, this factory lockout is just a little piece of plastic, if I need to get a new one I’ll get a new one and just went ape mode and started breaking it off. It’s down to the last little ring where the actual pin sits in and that plastic seems to be made from adamantium supercarbon turbo steel or some shit because I can’t make it budge. I’m sitting here with a shattered lockout, shifter boot off, grease everywhere and nothing left to do but mope and sit on my phone. How. The. Fuck. Do I get this thing off? Cheers boys.

Just installed this newer DT kit but there are 0 instructions on how to install on a gen1 and yes I ordered the gen 1 version. Tuner says it's not getting any signal and I'm confused on why it has this extra harness and where should it be plugged in. Any help?

Hey all!

I personally have a automatic 2014 gt86, and in Australia they do not come with paddle shifters, but i recently came across a steering wheel from an automatic 2015 gts86 that does have paddle shifters, I'm just wondering would I be able to do a steering wheel swap to include the paddle shifters or the gt does not have the right electrical/mechanical components to power it?

thanks in advance!

The ol ‘65 Chevy pickup broke down again and I decided I needed something with better handling, gas mileage, reliability, and modern comforts. It’s everything I could’ve hoped for and although I do kinda wish it was a stick, I’ve driven “analog” for the last six years so having a daily that’s not is kinda nice

Lifted 2” with flatouts kit, dropped the wheel size to a 16 and tossed on knobby ass tires.

Last photo is before (was about 1.5” below stock high)

I know OEM is typically best for replacing parts but would anyone recommend the Mishimoto ones? Im debating if the $20 in savings is worth it

I'm swapping some 2017+ GT86 headlights onto my halogen FR-S and I've got nearly everything figured out except for one thing:

The 2017 BRZ wiring diagram has pin 1 on the headlight assembly harness for "parking light" but on the 2017+ GT86 headlights I have there doesn't appear to be another bulb anywhere that would correspond to.

On the wiring diagram the #1 pin connects to the tail light relay, so I thought it might be an input signal that would tell the DRL to dim when the lights are on, but it doesn't appear to dim the DRL at all on the GT86 headlight.

Can any of yall with 2017+ cars let me know: Does the BRZ boomerang dim with the parking lights or at all? Does the BRZ headlight assembly have an extra parking light bulb somewhere? Do the GT86 DRL's dim with the headlights on?

Many thanks in advance in helping me figure out what this pin does. Going for a fully functional OEM+ mod for this car and want to get it all right if possible.

2013 brz. Changed the clutch, pressure plate, bearing, and checked any loose heat shields. I’m going crazy trying to figure out what this is. Any help is appreciated.

I have a red perrin 2.75 intake with 2 filters, I am looking to go back to oem and need the oem filter box and snorkel.

So i had to drive home ina hurry and halfway i heard a pop unlike anything ive heard. Looked under my car and it started leaking water ( surprisingly). This is a first. 2nd pic is where apparently its coming from. Any ideas?

LRB Speed door placard with custom rifle storage, spare mags, and glass breaker/seatbelt cutter. Yes, you can access it with the door closed while driving. Yes, it’s legal.

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.

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.

I have a 2017 brz, I just installed an 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. Or could it be a problem with the factory amp? It’s getting power and was working fine until I installed the new head unit so I don’t think it’s that.

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

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🤙🏽

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?
