How to jack up your FRS BRZ 86

[@georgiohenderson5998]

How to properly jack up your car 1.) Remove oil drain bolt 2.) Forcefully shift without using the clutch 3.) Always downshift at too high an RPM 4.) Take it to a dirt road filled with potholes, preferably an old town road 5.) Ride until you can't no more Your car should now be pretty jacked up

[@wajalama]

lmao

[@sleepings4596]

Jacked up also mainly means getting yelled at or being chewed out in the army. Not what you said.

[@mattbeach8641]

I'm going to be doing some work on my 86 next week and literally opened KZbin to find a video on the jack points for these cars. Perfect timing!

[@a.jennings4664]

Actually, the jacking point is on the sub frame directly BEHIND the pinch welds and not the pinch welds themselves. Take a look at the scissor jack provided by Subaru. There is a groove cut into it (4:00) so that it does not contact the pinch welds, allowing the vehicle to be lifted by the sub frame jacking point..

[@KingPeaceus]

Is it still okay to put your jack stands under them?

[@a.jennings4664]

@@KingPeaceus: You should always use jack stands anytime you work under a raised vehicle. But I wouldn't (and don't) rest the entire weight of the vehicle on the pinch welds. They are not designed to support it. The pinch welds are part of the fender/body not the sub frame. Will the pinch welds support the vehicle? Yes, but you run the risk of damaging them. The weight of the vehicle should rest on the sub frame not the pinch welds.

[@Luth3rr]

This is one of those “actually” moments that we really needed! 😂 thank you

[@daduncker20D]

I feel like in the next 5 years this will become their most viewed video; especially when the 2020 Toyota 86 comes out and the price of older 86s tank down.

[@smithsfan425]

This was definitely posted pre COVID car shortage haha.

[@bishopm4401]

That’s why I’m here lmao

[@ianj4389]

Great video, exactly what I was looking for. Went ahead and got the Cusco ramps.

[@boost331]

Jack stands should not go anywhere near pinch welds. The U shape at the top puts pressure in all the wrong places. Jack stands should be on the frame or under suspension anchor points.

[@gryphon123456]

Don’t forget to put spare wheels and tires underneath for an additional safety measure. Very handy and good video.

[@hadez438]

Today we are gonna learn how to jack up your car But first, jack up your car. (that was mighty car mods joke)

[@Alexander-sr5fg]

Protip- check the pinchwelds on a used car to see if the owner did the work, or if a shop did work mostly :)

[@zoshy2403]

How would you know

[@smithsfan425]

Zoshy they’ll be worn down if someone does the work themselves since jack stands progressively wear them out. That being said, who says the owner doesn’t own a lift or similar type of device?

[@oof578]

Mechanic shops fuck them up too

[@sirfrancisbacon4344]

Yea that's true that being said i enjoy the piece of mind knowing i did the work correctly and not rushed. If someone ever tried to use that as a point to negotiate I'd tell them to suck it lol

[@RJMANFIT]

Just bought an 86... Imma need this video 😂

[@deeerek0756]

Do people just bend their pinch welds when you put them on jack stands? I milled a slot out of 2x4 to go on either side of the pinch welds.

[@jonathanstimmell9952]

I haven't bent them yet and have had it up on jack stands at the pinch welds. Now it will bend the seam if you place the jack stands anywhere besides the pinch weld, don't ask me how i know....>:(

[@a.jennings4664]

Your's is the correct method for jacking to avoid damage to the pinch welds. Although, you may be at risk of cracking the 2X4s which may present a problem. Rubber jacking pads with a groove cut in them work well.

[@durmientewrx]

This also works well for our cars www.amazon.com/Potauto-Universal-Aluminum-Grooved-Magnetic/dp/B078J55SBW

[@KiraOniiChan]

Old video but very helpful! And I need ramps for sure, my 23 GR86 is way too low with my lip even at stock height lol

[@jet0577]

My 1st one of these. Good to know.

[@Dragrede]

Are there alternative points where I can put the jack stand? My side skirt does not give enough clearance to place the jack stand. Cutting out the area might not be a good solution either...

[@Luvpolo999]

Question if I am only doing back work like switch exhaust tips can I just pick up the back

[@lymn2002]

The flat rear diff won't be damaged? It is a small surface area

[@novasquad3920]

Hey mate huge help thanks mate😊

[@thanatos387]

My pinch welds are bent and destroyed Subaru said that was normal when I took it in. Still work to jack up the car.

[@jacobfathal2230]

Use jack stand pads that have a groove for the pinch weld to sit in.

[@myevilrabbitgames]

@@jacobfathal2230 They are already bent dude

[@a.jennings4664]

Yeah, it's normal when you jack up your car incorrectly.

[@thehoodieguy3491]

Does the 2nd gen BRZ have the same jack point in this video?

[@3rdeyecult974]

What extra things could you put under the car with Jack stands, too support even more. I’ve seen people use wood

[@nelsonsantana6778]

i needed this 3 years ago before i munched my pinch welds like an idiot. unfortunately but fortunately it'll never happen again lmao.

[@maatmeet9292]

Can i ask the lenght of your floor jack? I have to buy one and i would like to jack up the rear like you did :) Is something like 70-80 cm good or do i need the Long version which is 93 cm? Thanks a lot :)

[@pethaa]

Thank you thomas

[@mojo_gojo]

Are you guys getting any more of those tail lights??

[@JOMFSE]

Any word on em? Im still waiting for mine

[@br1jspec]

Can a regular low profile jack (not the long one) reach the front sub frame when accessed to the front?

[@ricardocardenas4150]

What i do is i use the flimsy scissor jack to raise the car a lil bit so i can fit my low profile jack in

[@MTP_CHANNEL_]

Can also use a brick if you dont have ramps

[@B1SQ1T]

What’s the really loud sound the lift makes while it’s lifting the car up? First time I heard it I thought something snapped

[@joaty1906]

Those clacking sounds are locks, which is part of the safety system on the lift :)

[@666kingzero]

What are those bronze rims ad what are the specs on them?

[@only_dans4036]

just curious as too what color gold the rims on this 86 are??

[@albasrah-782]

Hey man your videos are awesome my engine bay is very dirty and it’s ugly tooo look at, I want to clean it in car wash using engine clean mode, but I am afraid that water could damage the engine and stuff. So can you make a video how to properly wash the engine and clean it so it can shine like the first time you got it! That would be appreciated if you do.

i recommend Drift armors rear bashbar with jacking point. it defeats all the problems you were talking about with the rear and it fits under the stock "or any other" bumper. driftarmor.com/?olsPage=products%2Frear-bar-wjack-point

[@wrinkledlemon]

Why use a wooden block on the jack?

[@a.jennings4664]

So the jack doesn't mar the under carriage/jacking point.

What lowering springs do you guys recommend that can be taken on the track and daily driven?

[@TimurIskhodzhanov]

Had the same question and ended up getting coilovers. Given that you'll need alignment and probably want to get corner balancing too, it seems that in the long run the price of coilovers isn't that much higher.
