My girls FRS currently is at 204k miles for a 2013. Idk how it’s got a lot, but it’s been running great. I’m helping her out to get as much changed and fixed, so thank you 🙌🏽

[@EpicTacoSenpai]

bruh i be so paranoid wondering if its in properly because on the side is sticking out just a tad like if its not closed shut but thats how it was when i got it and havent had issues about it so i just replaced it and left it alone

[@chartreusenematoad9451]

I'm at 54,000 miles, when I got my BRZ exactly 5 years ago it had 18 miles crazy to think back on all those memories/miles

[@smithsfan425]

Henry I just got one with 24000 miles. Have you had any issues with it since you got it?

[@chartreusenematoad9451]

Nope, no issues al all. It has been my daily driver and has been a great, reliable car. Just regular oil changes. I've put money into it, but that has just been for unnecessary aesthetic and performance upgrades. The next major service will be at the 60k mark ,and I plan to keep the car forever and hopefully put many many more miles on

[@smithsfan425]

Henry great to hear! I hope mine is as trouble free as yours. It’s a 10 series scion.

[@chartreusenematoad9451]

How had you liked it? Have you done any mods or do you plan to do any?

[@smithsfan425]

Henry It was all stock EXCEPT for a Borla exhaust which isn’t obnoxious sounding so I’m probably keeping it. I’m not sure yet, because I also plan on buying back my first car from when I was in college from the person I sold it to (07 tC) for like a grand and turning it into an autocross car. That’s the car I’m gonna tinker with while I pay off the 86. Maybe in the future once it’s paid off and if the new Supra is any good I’ll make that my new daily and track this one someday.

[@chrismbroome]

I recently noticed that I need to flush my clutch fluid as its supposed to be changed every 2 years, like the brake fluid. My car has only done 25,000 km. I think it is good to mention this as I never knew what this reservoir was for the clutch and it can affect the gear changes.

Okay, okay. I just bought a Used 2016 Subaru BRZ at 40K Miles. I'm about to catch up on most of this maintenance, so thank you very much for the video. I would love to contact you more as I continue building out my car. This Is my first time. Will say it came to me with a Borla Exhaust System, but I don't know its full extent yet. Looking to get brakes, wheels, coilovers, and short-throw shifter, interspersed with light cosmetic and aero mods over the next 5 years, but am still developing the plan to keep it classy. Thank you for posting this!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

Garrett 88 Do you think getting something like a Nissan 35-70Z, Infiniti G35-7, or Hyundai Genesis Coupe would have left you happier? Or is it purely because the engine is unexciting with the torque dip in which case even a Mustang or V6 Accord would be more fun?

[@ddtonni]

Can you guys do a video on how to change the spark plugs on a boxer and what are the best brands to buy ?

[@recklesslyarrogant7242]

Musicizmyremedy that’s why I️ need a video to show the correct process. Pretty sure a lot of people would watch that and buy the recommended spark plugs.

It can be done without lifting the engine. I've done it before. You just need a few select tools. There's a few threads on it on ft86club forums. But yeah, lifting engine would make it much easier.

Never replace automatic transmission fluid unless the trans starts slipping, even then new fluid will likely make the problem worse.This is why most modern automatics don't even have a dipstick and are sealed, because the fluid degrades as the clutches degrade and new fluid on old clutches will cause problems.
