2022 BRZ Track Day - My First Thoughts

[@dustiinw]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Glad to see you back on track

[@ArcaneGhosts]

So awesome!!! It’s Dustin Williams 🙌🙌🙌

[@JesusGonzalez-kh8df]

Badum tss

[@qarrett]

Happy seeing you here Dustin!! 🥳❤️‍🔥

[@refillz5281]

DUT!!!

[@chrisgrassa69]

Well now that he missed 69 miles, he has to wait for 420. It's only right. It's the law. Also, really happy to see Evan back on the track. I've been WAITING for this. Really excited for you, dude!!!

[@nelsonpioquinto8301]

he already hit 420

[@kylechubb8543]

And if he misses that it’s 42 069

[@ZombieGaming212]

if he’s only at about 420 miles wouldn’t it be bad for him to beat on it? i mean bc the break in period

[@scottyd0530]

There's something so intoxicating about POV track driving. Hope to see the BRZ back out there later on after some bigger, better brakes. Also, that was a great message at the end. Learning how to control my emotions and depression instead of it controlling me has taken a long time, and I still don't know how. Always appreciate the words of encouragement Evan.

[@trackntrail2869]

It just needs some pads and fluid :)

[@TheCarCreative]

Recent subscriber here, loving the content man. The endings and wise words, on point. Hope you are able to get the brain back to 100% brother 🤘🏼

[@lukescott8438]

welcome to the gang bro!!!!

[@FLAREps]

i honestly wanna see evan bring it to a Subaru dealership to get the brakes done and to see the dealerships reaction when they see how many miles and how much brake is left

[@RAY_FILET]

So, now people can't even do their jobs without a camera in their face.

[@ArcaneGhosts]

Early comment gang!!! Thanks Evan for using our new song “Rollercoaster” in this vid 😊. Now available on Spotify and Apple Music ✅

[@refillz5281]

Honestly I'd just go FBO+Tune (assuming the 2.4 responds well to those), Suspension, Brakes, Wheels and Tires and possibly some Aero and just track it as is. It looks fun as hell already 😤🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@refillz5281]

Also, the track videos are fire!! Please do more 😂

[@koastal312]

If by bolt on you mean exhaust intake headers it won’t do much but make your car sound good

[@Mr.Harris.]

@@koastal312 dudes be thinking FBO and Tune means 150hp+

[@koastal312]

@@Mr.Harris. i mean on a turbo car fbo + e85 is massive gains but it does almost nothing on an N/a car

[@Mr.Harris.]

@@koastal312 adding E85 and tune to the mix is obviously where the gains come in for a FBO turbo car but dude is only talking about fbo and a tune which doesnt do much to begin with and we are talking about a N/A brz here

[@motormusique]

18:46 that is the best angle seen of this car ever. The lighting really highlights the big wheel flares. It's too bad all the promo photos were so overexposed

[@autosenses2960]

Just found your channel and im in line for a GR86 at my local dealer. I enjoyed your words at the end about your struggles with anxiety/depression. I can relate, it's a struggle for sure. Staying open about it and getting support is the best thing. Thanks for that!

[@martyh9263]

Why would the factory break in the car? You should have done a few more miles of normal driving before taking it on track IMO

[@thegaslightneverends]

some car companies break in the engines on the engine dyno so that customer's don't have to. not sure if subaru do this?

[@CookiesMonsterShow]

Nah he need excuses to boosted the car thats why

[@ciello___8307]

a lot of newer cars have factory break ins

[@coffee2862]

So glad seeing you upload again! Stay safe, much love!

[@kgthegreatone943]

Car driver magazine says 0 to 60 and 5.4 seconds quarter mile in 13.9 seconds which is not a slow car at all

[@ButteredUpToast]

So sick to see you back on track, im excited to see how well this car does after wheels, tires, and suspension

[@nikolee2854]

You forgot to plug fitment industries after you said “wheels, tires, and suspension”

[@ButteredUpToast]

@@nikolee2854 i considered it 🤣

[@michaelkartman3543]

Great, strong message at the end Evan. These things will hold us back if we don’t get on top of it once we notice! Also it was super cool seeing you rip around the track

[@harrisondrifter]

Was a good excuse to go play with one of my cars! Glad you made it out dude

[@dronesjumpingin8308]

I loved everything about this video! Great to see you back on track having fun, def seems like the prefect “affordable” track car that you can actually push to its limit and have fun. I love your always positive outlook on life and just taking life one day at a time and keep doing what you love.

[@thelaw3278]

Don’t you have to break in the car first?? I thought for the first 1000 miles you aren’t suppose to go over 4K rpm and only half throttle. You have the vehicles manual, read it!

[@jonathanluse4641]

Killing it man! Hope you continue driving and overcoming those obstacles, such as inspiration in so many ways. So much more then cars on this channel, what drives me to watch every video

[@158158cow]

Day 2 of new BRZ ownership, at the track? FLEX. So happy to see you back on track

[@itscroc_]

You should look into a Brembo brakes retrofit from the older gen, I'm assuming the whole suspension compartment is the same as the old car considering coilovers from it still bolt to this new one, so that should be a nice brake upgrade for it. Also, they're not PS4Ss, they're just normal PS4s. Still a great tire but not as good as the S ofc lol

[@antontrann612]

I would love to see more of these track days

[@Dan_AYP]

I'd love to see if the WRX STI calipers fit this thing like they did the last gen! cool video man, love this thing, i need one! haha

[@CasualTryhard]

Pads and fluid are all you need for stock power. I have Carbotech XP12s and rbf600 on my 86 and haven't managed to fade the brakes on track days or tail of the dragon. Don't get yellows, the only street pad I would get for this car is the stoptech sports

[@col6y]

i’m loving the BRZ content👍🏽keep it up

[@dariusGarage]

Can't wait to see the maintenance and upgrades video! Curious to see how bad the pads and oil look:)

[@j.curtisproductions1106]

U really struck a chord with more with ur anxiety stories. My anxiety has been so bad I actually blocked out from an attack yesterday, been ages since iv been able to take my own car out and just drive it with full confidence. Getting back into the rhythm of things more now tho. Not allow buddy, just keep that good ol distraction therapy 👌

[@3-lias]

I just realized that the rear view mirror shows the direction you're going. I think that's awesome

[@B1Gxyz]

Subarus have had that for a while, my 2006 legacy gt has it

[@3-lias]

@@B1Gxyz Yeah, I've seen it on other cars (on videos) since then. Still a really nice touch

[@michelfortier9563]

I get the feeling you're the kind of guy who will work his way through his issues.....So - mine comes in two weeks. Found out it was manufactured this last Monday. First thing is a new exhaust. Cough it up and tell me what type of exhaust you're putting on and what made you pick this particular brand of exhaust? I keep leaning on HKS. Love the burble sound it throws off but I'll look at other brands.

[@Zaratium]

i will be going with HKS for mine!

[@DNKwest74]

I’m looking at HKS and Tomei I got mine a few days ago

[@michelfortier9563]

@@DNKwest74 Let me know after you've picked one and how you like it. Can't wait to get mine...

[@motormusique]

Great video! It's true that the stock brakes are the limitation on this car. I had an FRS with some speed upgrades but stock everything else, and I was surprised that the brakes were completely toast after a few laps

[@tracefetherman]

So much for waiting the "break in" period after buying a new car. :) I was told to not push a car hard for the first like 1,500 miles after buying a brand new car.

[@RobKOwens]

You don't have to wait if you don't want to it just a safety thing for the dealership and vehicle warranty.

[@tracefetherman]

@@RobKOwens oh, I thought it messed with engine compression and shit, and over time your engine wouldn’t be “as good as it can be”

[@RobKOwens]

@@tracefetherman it can, that's why they say to do it so that it will last through the warranty time and they don't have to replace the engine or transmission if the break during warranty

[@tracefetherman]

@@RobKOwens gotcha lol :)

[@christophercarrera7486]

🥲🥲🥲I’m sooo stoked about this build man, LOVE the track day and I wanted to see a track grip build SOO badly

[@supita_a9135]

everytime i watch your videos i just feel better going thru marrige separation its not easy but watching your videos help so thank you evan!

[@angrod3]

Awesome video ! Great words at the end, and I’m exited to follow the build. :)

[@brock5932]

Most owners manuals have mileage points for a break in period such as don’t use full acceleration before 600 miles and avoid hard breaking before 200 miles. But they are supposed to be broken in at the factory as well.

[@nicolasb5899]

I sure someone already said this but new rotors would help too, drilled and slotted really helps.

[@Dwightschrute6669]

Awesome to see the new BRZ on the track, hope you enjoyed it Evan!!

[@mattbaker6818]

Great advice, I just bought a BRZ on Saturday and hear I am trying to slowly brake it in !!! Guess I should just let er rip. Great video can't wait to take mine to the track.

[@RebornDrake869]

A track build on this BRZ would be sick

[@SushiPac]

I can’t wait for this channel to reach 1 million subscribers!!!! We are almost there!!! Keep up the good work Evan!!!

[@myke3277]

Hey bro I stumbled on your video. I really liked it but I must say you are a brave individual deserving all the love and respect for what you open up about. I wanna wish you all the best keep motoring you will get to full health soon because you opening up about your condition help others. Peace

[@David25512]

Nice! Glad to see someone can actually get one of these out there! Although a couple things. More a slight concerns. The brakes and the gear indicator light. One is more important than the other, however the previous videos I've seen from Topher and Smoking Tire and Savage Geese have shown the indicator slightly lag. Maybe an update will come out later?

[@13jeffandtrish]

I have a 2023 on order but that seems to be my biggest worry are the brakes. The 2019 "Raiu" had a nice braking package. Oh on a side note I have 2022 86 on order but my guess is the BRZ will be the one the comes in first

[@joelbowness54]

It’s so sick you took a brand new BRZ straight from the dealership to the track! Looking forward to the build! Still a shame we won’t get the new BRZ here in the UK

[@Milo.Benjamin]

Loving the silver paint at night time! Thanks for the life lesson at the end of the video.

[@JRosa-mh2hk]

I’m so stoked for the BRZ!!!! I can’t wait to get a brz!!!!!

[@keenan537817]

You're not alone man! I suffer from anxiety and depression as well. It is good that you're getting professional help. That is a very important big step. About the Brz...did you notice the oil temp being high on track? Do you think you will need an oil cooler asap?

[@tylermorris2480]

I know wheel specs, catback exhausts, coilovers, and most suspension parts are interchangeable between the first and second gen, so if you don’t see much advertised for the second gen then def look into the first gen aftermarket

[@ENLGHTND]

So dope 🔥🔥

[@mugen041907]

Better pads and brake fluid will fix that right up. If the new model has the same brake caliper as the 1st Gen, order some Raybestos ST45 pads for the front and some Redline RL 600 fluid. 👌 Great content, keep it up!!

[@kovid5274]

evan if you turn the fire tunes off while youre on the track maybe the brakes wouldnt get so hot lol

[@everettblue146]

id love to see more track days man, love to see your progression. maybe see u at harris hill! just started getting track time

[@vdub4life151]

Been watching for awhile man an were all part of your family here an you have untapped potential even when we feel like we can remember we all started from nothing an built something up! Keep up the good work man your killing it!

[@robertbailey6459]

It was like I was watching real life green Turismo on the track thank you for sharing I felt like I was in the passenger seat in the car it sucks that the brakes kept failing on you they need to put better brakes on those cars high priced cars because they should know people take them to the track stay safe I look forward to seeing you back on the track when you get better breaks and all the upgrades you want to put on that car thank you Evan!🏎️

Almost to a million bro 💪🏽 💯

[@nocs3]

Hoping to see some of Evan's other cars on this track as well

[@anonymous5072]

Not sure if you have seen any reviews on the car but if you launch control (I think) it actually breaks the tires loose in 1 and 2 (I think) but I’m pretty sure that the other brz didn’t

[@mahifislam7968]

Don't take too stress while on the Track. Keep making more content !

[@slipp3ryslop3]

6:56 *tracks the car before hitting 100 miles* "I'm giving this thing a proper break-in." Subaru engineers: "Are we a joke to you?"

I currently drive a Toyota truck that I absolutely love. I'm also looking into buying a 2nd car (sports car). I love the BRZ/GR86...but I'm also looking at the Hyundai Elantra N Turbo. What do you think about it?

[@tofu.delivery.]

With new cars you're supposed to drive it easy for 5000 miles before going hard, you probably aren't aware of this because this is your first new car, but going hard right off the bat is not great for the long term durability

[@RobKOwens]

I'm sure he is and it's actually only 1k miles, but some people just don't care

[@UnWrecked]

Unequal length headers so it gets that boxer rumble back

[@sleeper.simulant7327]

Hard pass on UEL’s, I’m sure ACE will come out with a EL that’s puts power down n/a like they did with the first generation

[@unknown_kidd4455]

Hey Evan, I haven’t been enjoying the videos like how I used to. I’m not saying this to be negative or to upset you because I know you have a family and several businesses to deal with, I’m just letting you know as a dedicated fan for the last 3+ years it feels like you’re losing your connection with the audience. Love you bro and stay safe🙏🏽❤️

[@ATS_Racing1]

Would Love to see you do a track build, with one of your cars.. A budget build track car

[@deependrider2317]

Bruh I really like the compass on the mirror, I don’t know why tho but it’s different to many cars

[@CarsonQiu]

I definitely gotta hear this car on UEL headers someday

[@arandomcommenter7051]

Dude I missed 69 mile pic too. was so disappointed in myself. Good to see you can beat the balls off it before the 1000 miles break in and not worry too much. Might have accidentally ran 3rd gear out to the top at 100 miles not knowing about the break in

[@Robsphotographync]

Love these track videos more than the build ones if I’m being honest

[@iBoomish]

No need for brembos. Just get good pads (ex. CSG specs) and good brake fluid

I’m excited to see this thing get modified

[@saleemyasin154]

Dude wtf this guy managed to see A DIFFERENT 2021 BRZ on the road and I haven’t even seen one at a dealer yet 😭😂

[@edhemkrkic3114]

i have a question Evan, isn`t there a break in period on the car. like the engine, trans and diff? reason I ask is because someone I know bought the new g80 M3 and he needs to complete the break in period. he needs to drive the car for 2500 km and keep the rpm under 4500 and cant use 100% throttle and cant use launch control. the dealership also said to him that if he doesn`t do/follow the break in period he could loose his warranty. excuse for my bad english. Greetings from Norway

[@Mtnbike121]

I live 30 minutes from harris hill. What event did you go to? Trying not to pay 6k to use there track 3-5 times a year Also, all you need is an upgraded pad and dot 4 fluid, you're probably boiling the stock fluid

[@gloglas]

I feel like the advices are not only for us but for you in the future.

[@calebyrd253]
