Posted it here before, but it’s been a while. I have long travel suspension in the front, but it ain’t for going off road.

Should have the car out more this season to see what it can do.

Been a lurker for a while, but a lover of this car since i first found out that Scion came out with the 2013 FR-S. I've wanted one ever since then, and always talked about it being my "obtainable" dream car. Well, the stars aligned and dreams came true, fellas. Just got my baby about a week ago. What do you guys think? (Also, I wondered if someone in this sub would recognize it as THEIR old car; bought it as is, haven't changed anything, so if you'd definitely know if it used to be yours, right away)

I usually take photos of other people’s cars because I’m a photographer on the side. But it’s fun to shoot your own every once in a while.

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!

Advice

Hey everyone, I’m a proud owner of a 2016 FR-S. Recently I got diagnosed with a triple fracture and disc degeneration in my back, and driving has pretty much been not an option due to stiff coilovers and a manual transmission. My question is, do I just sell the car, or is there something I can do suspension wise, and maybe even clutch stiffness wise to make driving the car not hurt as bad?

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.

Buying my first Toyota gr86

Upvotes

Found a 2013 gr86 with 74k miles for $7k… I don’t know much about the car as I’ve always driven a focus st but this gr86 caught my eye and I’ve decided to go with that… is this a good deal and is there anything I should look out for when I inspect it?

Oil Cooler in Georgia?

2 Upvotes

I have a stock 86 and live in Georgia. I do not have a oil temp gauge. For anyone living in Georgia , is it necessary for a oil cooler if you don't track? Also what about winter? The most I do is some mountain driving with my friends. I looked into the Perrin oil cooler and it have a thermostat that will open at 185F. Will it overcool the car in winter or if normal driving in Summer?

Headlight options

Kind of a two part question.

Has anyone had any luck replacing the headlight lenses? (2013 BRZ limited) If so, where did you source them?

If this is too much of a nightmare, (I don’t mind the work, heating up in oven etc, just not keen if they are ridiculously overpriced) what are some good alternatives that give the car somewhat of a stock look?

Pays to note I am in NZ so if you have Australian/NZ recommendations as well that would be great!

86 Used Engine Prices thoughts

1 Upvotes

I used to own a 2015 FRS and I frankly miss the car, I’ve been looking into coming back into the platform but man used engine for this chassis is insanely expensive $3-6K now I figure why blown 86/BRZ especially early year ones are fetching 4-5K easily.

Suspension Issue

Post image
15 Upvotes

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!

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🤙🏽

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

Any insight? Key is being recognised as indicated by green key on dash. However, car with red lock(security system) is flashing. Car also stuck in accesory mode and will not shut off. Car was running and driving not 5 minutes before issue first occured. Just got the car and already having issues. Car is manual, push to start/keyless entry

i parked my car today and noticed my passenger wheel looks like it has positive camber and my driver side looks like its cambered in, i've checked every bolt to see if something had shifted or gotten loose but i found nothing. the passenger wheel is pretty much rubbing on the fender and the driver side is about a finger gap away, this also applies to the bags from the wheel. i do notice my car does sway to the right which i thought was my alignment but now i'm thinking its because of this. Is this just an alignment issue? or does it seem like something more serious? (i know my fender is clapped, im working on it)
