It's not the car who is too slow, it's the driver who is too slow. 86 is pareto princip at its finest. You get 86% hypercar for 20% of the price. Also there is a sub 8 time made by OneLapHeroes (7:59.1)

Yes it's to slow and unreliable.

what year is your car? and do you know if this would work for a 2024 gr86? on the one site i just looked it said 22-23 gr86

2025 civic si, 0-60 : 6.6 seconds

I think you've finally convinced me!!! Some Black Friday sales on now too...

I use rhino ramps. Super quick and more oil comes out with the front end up. Never used a crush washer and never had a leak on any car.. Also, check your valve covers, both of mine were leaking at 35K. By the way, do they enforce the front plate in Hawaii?

people just won’t stop complaining.. the gt86 was fine . people r droids. it’s driver dependent too 😂

Have you thought of the billetworkz titanium tall teardrop shifter?

It’s just as fast as my “stock” 350z from 2005. Z had linear power throughout powerband and gr86 comes alive after 4krpm. Both were/are manual transmission

Waiting on this muffler to deliver to me as well as a GR intake. #dadlife

I'll be doing my first oil change soon at 1000miles with 5w-30, I'm not a fan of 20w oil in cars. Good info and thanks for the video.😀

The gr86 is more for drift and the brz js more for grip. I prefer the gr86.

Thanks for the video, I am driving 2023 BRZ in the exact same colour as your GR86. A neat trick to oil change is to drain the oil first, then do the refill with a cheaper oil. Bring the engine to temp with a short drive. Drain the oil and keep it for the next flush. Now, change the oil filter and pour in the intended engine oil as you normally would. Does take some extra work but definitely worth it for longevity.

do you have a video of hoe you did the camera setup in the car?

gr86 fast cus i got hella tickets from the cops

is youe drive way flat ? i think it can also affect the oil level when it slightly angle

Thank you for making all these videos. After discovering your videos I traded in my car (200 series LC) for your car (limited magnetite gray BRZ). I really believe car is unique, having test driven SS1LE, Mustang GT/GT350, 997 911, M4, etc. As it’s my first manual, it’s been a bit of a learning curve but 600 miles in the 2 weeks I’ve owned it has adjusted me. Gonna love how easy this oil change is at 1000 miles. The LC had ~20 bolts holding in the skid plates protecting the oil filter. This is a piece of cake compared to it. Looking forward to seeing more maintenance videos and if you have any break-in tips from your experience, other than what’s in the manual, would appreciate your insight. Cheers 🤙

you deserve more subs

If you loosen the oil filter while the drain plug is out I believe more oil with drain out

I went with the exhaust tip extender. It was reasonably priced, easy to install “and” it looks great!

love the content my guy there isn't a lot of channels doing stuff with the newer brz and its nice to see stuff with my car in it and get advice from other brz owners

If Subaru told you to wash your car once a year, is that what you would do?

Nice and thorough how-to video. We got a 3-year maintenance plan for our GR86, but we'll be doing this all ourselves when that is over -- and I'll have to rewatch this ;) Still have to keep an eye on the dealer, as they way overfilled one time...

I haven’t driven a BRZ but I figure it’s similar enough to my S2000. These cars have a “fun” amount of power and great handling. I’ve driven more powerful car but if you live in or near the mountain twisties, the BRZ, Miata, S2000 type cars are where it’s at.

Quick search on forums mention the actual USDM pipe on the exhaust is shorter so it really only extends it about an inch because the JDM ones will still sit further forward. This is probably why people prefer to go with an aftermarket extender instead.

I ran over a turtle yesterday in my 22 brz I just had a LITERAL CALLBACK to YESTERDAY over your thumbnail. I could hear the insides of that turtle hitting the other side of the road. The poor thing didn't stand a chance against my 18 inch wheels going around a turn at 60mph. I need a dash cam. I've hit raccoons and all sorts of stuff in this car and I've only owned it a year.

5.4 to 60 is not a realistic number. Add a second to that for a real life scenario. Still not slow

Its my dream car, when I get that dough I would definitely buy 86 or brz 🔥

Are the tips polishable to remove the blue?

I wish every exhaust review had all of these different takes.

Ayyyy! That 12v port in the glove box is a life saver. Just got mine and I did check the box, but not behind it. I was planning on rewiring my dashcam and air pump to connect in some other way but now I don't have to! Thanks for the tip.

This is all without mentioning that the cars start brand new at ~$30k, far cheaper than most of the cars listed used.

Anyone that says is slow is absolutely insane and doesn’t know shit lol

I have a Cobb titanium catback exhaust on my 2024 GR86 and I’ve actually pushed the slip on exhaust tips to match a more OEM JDM look v. most people who have them further out. You can’t even really see the laser etching of the Cobb name on them, lol.

I drove a Cobalt SS/SC with some mods as a daily driver for years. The GR86 drives and handles noticeably better and I don't have to worry about extra maintenance with forced induction. The whole reason I bought a GR86 2023 was because it was one of the few new affordable sports cars that still offered all the perks small tuner cars from the 2000s used to offer. If you loved the small tuner cars from the late 90s and early 2000s then this is one of the cars you want to try out. People do not realize getting 228 HP out of a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder is nothing to laugh about AND it is RWD. You can easily get near 250HP with a good header, exhaust, intake, and a E85 tune. If you want to go the turbo or supercharger route then 300HP + is easily accomplished. I do not think it is needed, but the platform is there to build on. These types of cars are a dying breed and I doubt we will see many more in the future.

honestly the car community on platforms like tiktok are horrible, and it sucks tjat their voices are so loud because in person the car community (in my area) is for the most part way better. When i hear people hate on the gr86 i just ignore them because i know there’s know way to change their minds.

Really want one for my WRX. I like the richer tone.

Insipid, trite, fluff video. Your opinion is about as valid as any inexperienced, ignorant teen. Said shifting with the lighter knob takes more energy! Wrong. Shifting the heavier knob takes more energy. Simple Physics!

Debating between getting this one and the HKS L spec, hard to find a website that sells in Canada unfortunately.

5.4 seconds 0 to 60 is not slow at all! thats pretty zippy for the pricepoint

Have owned my 22 Brz for 3 months in Ottawa, Canada and goddam its so fun!

Love this car. Its basically the 240 of modern times. I saw the GR86 in Gran Turismo 7 and bought one a couple of months later in May 2022. Learned to drive manual on it. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

People who say it's slow must have never driven a actually slow car. Plus who actually does 0 to 60 runs regularly

After Electric cars/Tesla speed is not the priority! Handling is ...... This is a car with a perfect build and Handling right off the lot. This is a daily legal race car. Once you drive a GR 86 end experience the balance handling and the feel of the steering wheel. Everything is just so tuned in. For the first time i feel like adding to the build is a choice off the lot. Bought my GR 86 23 with 8 miles .....I am now at 21000 miles and it has been great as a daily. Winter >>> snow mode and snow tires this car handled great for a rear wheel drive. Better then my super girls Veloster N turbo. Great video

can't help but smile when ripping my GR86 through twisties 🙂

My 24' BRZ is fast enough for me and much more fun to drive than my 93' Corvette.

Can you tell me why it dings at me when I open the door? It's really annoying. It's not the lights.

switching from a V8 RS5 to 2022GR86, the 86 is absolutely amazing. The driving fun is more about hitting the G-force/handling in corners than going fast in a straight line. A straightline car is just not that exciting, 3rd gear hitting jail speed on the highway, and that's it.

It is worth noting that if you DO want laptimes, it's not difficult to do so. Stick a turbo on it, half a bar of boost, making 300 horsepower easy... it is genuinely a rocket ship. Check out Misha's video to see it keep up with a modern Cayman GT4!

Erm Since when is 2800 lbs weight.. Light. ! In a small 'sporty' car. Moderne times indeed.
