Just got a 2015 BRZ shipped from Texas with 64k miles on it. I've had it for like 2 weeks and I'm absolutely LOVING IT!

[@unverified635]

Bought a used 2014 FRS back in April and have been loving it! No mods yet, so this video HELPS!! Luv ur work Alex, keep it up!!

[@trelchxpo]

[@unverified635]

I just bought a used 2013 FRS yesterday as my first manual car with a stage 2 clutch and learning it right now is very difficult on hills

[@emoney5929]

@@plutosrevenge6560haha I feel u brother that was me in 2019 when I bought my 2013. Just bought a 2020 today. Best car I’ve ever driven (2020 and 2013 barely different)

[@carrotzzss7250]

do you guys have any tips on knowing how beat up the car is before buying it? im very close to getting a used one

[@GustavoGonzalez-ou5ui]

This vid couldn’t have came out at a more perfect time i just got my 2015 BRZ last Saturday!

[@waterrr356]

Bro dropped one of the hardest Intros and no one noticed 🔥

[@josuelopezcarrasco7933]

"How To" Series inc...? The intro made me smile bringing it back to the glory days of Alex@FI. The days where I learned more on different car platforms than any other source. Nothing beats a revamped classic that keeps its classic essence and sir you made me smile again with this video. Welcome MartiniWorks! Keep up the intros and videos, Ill be excitedly waiting for more content! IMO: More clips of cars or parts or sites (to find parts) would be awesome while you explain them! 🔥

[@digonderongedonga]

he forGOT THE MOST ESSENTIAL MOD: smol perrin antenna so that your toybaru BR-86 doesnt look like an RC car lol

[@kevind_53]

Was waiting for that one🤜🤛

[@kevind_53]

I agree they are the futur S chassi! I have a 2018 brz tS with intake, header and ecuteck. Went from a speed3 2010. Love the car. I do miss the turbo punch, but it's something that can be fix🤭 You doing great🚀🚀🚀

[@Flaccid_zn6]

Stock air box in these cars are already really efficient. I’d recommended just a drop in filter but if you really want an intake just try to find one that encloses the filter and helps jt stay cooler

[@NKPH]

got my brz and this is the first vid i see on my recommended and i realize it isn't alex from fitment industries but martiniworks now LOL

[@ogbluej8403]

Fr, I just bought a BRZ a week ago and I realized he isn't with Fitment Industries 🤣

[@Luther.Williams]

Intro game is next to none honestly

[@Flaccid_zn6]

Also if you do forced induction you’re gonna be good if you keep it between 300-350 WHP as long as you keep up with maintenance and run an oil cooler. I’d you live in a really hot climate OR track jt sometimes I’d also recommend running 5w30 instead of 0w20

[@Gr86_del08]

I remember seeing a orange frs in 2013 and i fell in love with it. It may have a ticking timebomb under the hood, but i still love the look of these beautiful cars I was 14 back in 2013😂

[@jackson22668]

As a owner of a 2013 GT86, I plan to run it as a daily while still have the capability to do some mountain runs/track days. So far I have K&N filter, Rota MXR wheels and Kenda KR20a semi slick tires, Winmax W3 brake pads, DBA 4000 series rotors, Whiteline lowering springs and some newly installed Invidia R400 catback exhaust, in terms of performance. Planing to get Sparco Evo L seats, front and rear strut bars, Whiteline front and rear sway bars, Invidia EL headers and a tune to finish it off Cosmetic wise, some Vland headlights and tail lights, 4th brake lights and the car came with the Modelista kit. Less is more is what im sticking with, aside from being poor 😬

By chance could you do how to modify a sa/fb rx7 love these videos!

[@itzgriff420]

patiently waiting for the NB miata video

[@normzynormzy6364]

was waiting for bro to spit some bars

[@amcezm0n3y47]

as a early 86 twin owner if your car has high miles and didnt get the recall done then dont get it done. The cars these failed on all with lower in the miles and if yours hasnt failed with higher miles than your car isnt likely effected. 128k miles here on mine and I wont get the recall. Not worth the risk. Got high enough miles now that I would just swap the engine or build the engine\iag short block.

[@DSMJingo]

I would love to turn one of these into a touge monster.

[@atevalve]

Would love to see something on the mk3 or mk4 Volkswagen platform. Got into cars with mk1's and mk2's over 10 years ago and those have kinda taken over that accessible Euro space now.

[@AlexMartini.]

We're on it.

[@JamarcusWilliams884]

would love to see this on s197s or e46s

[@robelmurph]

Woof, i wish i was in it, just 5k for mods on my gt86. I supercharged mine with all the supporting mods ( And some extras that I probably don't need but im paranoid about blowing the engine up) and im at 13k in parts sitting @ 300whp and i haven't even started with body kits or much cosmetics yet. Dont get me wrong, i love every minute im driving it. Just be aware that if you are attached to your money, dont get into moding too much. It's an addictive rabbit hole from witch their is no return😅

[@briantaylor1399]

Do the tc next please

[@noahbender677]

Just got a 13’ with a turbo, wide body, massive wing needs plugs though, has 60k miles

[@jaystyles2241]

I love my brz

[@Boosted_Renegade]

Can you please do one of these for the Genesis coupe 2.0t

[@jacobasuncion3132]

This was a good list I hope you talk about how to modify a euro or domestic platform

[@AlexMartini.]

What are you thinking?

[@ProGamer-jg8ro]

Please do Mk7 Toyota Celicad

[@static_Tricolor_camry]

My 2 options for my next car, is a G35 or an FR-S must be Manual stick shift only. I don't know if I wanna keep a stock body with a Front lip kit and Rear diffuser side skirts, or do a widebody set up. Either way it's gonna look clean and nice. To be honest I'm a Toyota car enthusiast I'll most likely get an FR-S

[@RTGaming28]

I’ve owned both. I sold my g35 for an frs, 3 years strong it’s just so fun to drive ! And so easy to mod and make look nice to how you want it. The market of parts for this platform is incredible

[@sanjicamps]

gr86 next please

[@NismoFanatic]

Can you do one on the lexus is350

[@AlexMartini.]

Helll yeeeaaahhh

[@prospect2664]

better looking then any bmw out there

[@Aliens4ever117]

Doo Theeee Evoooo X Pleeease 🙌 (or Focus st/rs)

[@comeconcon569]

The Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ were a collaboration between Toyota and Subaru. Toyota partly owns Subaru by having interests in the company.

[@JohnSingletary]

Loving this series cant wait to see the Genesis Coupe on it

[@yamoisredeemed]

Also first :). And second too 😊

[@AlexMartini.]

[@billbob4856]

As these get older then standouts will be the unmodded ones

[@jakepurnell8640]

One thing i would say that is KEY to buy for your FRS/BRZ/86 is BUY A KILLER B PICKUP and A Decent Aftermarket BAFFLEPLATE. more for engine longevity especially if you are doing anything with the car. then go wild fensport is one of the best places to buy from for 86 parts (here in the uk atleast) but you also have tuning developments and Amber Motorsport and Rogue motorsport. apart from that go nuts! im doing a trackbuild rn and absolutely loving it but you will be sinking Money!!! so get a good idea of what you wanna make and then go for it! :D Hope this helps!

[@MikeTallon]

what about e85

[@i_i8924]

Apparently for the 3rd Gen GR, Toyota going back and putting back a Toyo Engine back in bc of the oil problems on the Subaru boxer engine

[@caseymurray7722]

I'm not surprised. Subaru is killing off their performance divisions while Toyota has been building them back up. Subaru also doesn't really have any good hybrid systems while Toyota has excellent hybrids. They would most likely use the GR Corolla motor with some form of hybridization. Ideally they would implement a small traction motor in the rear to double as an active diff and a hybrid turbo to deliver instant boost with no lag.

[@H2ORaider]

Lol I wanted to know about pretty body mods and I got hit with 5 years of mechanic info

[@Idk-hy2do]

What happened to the other yt channel

[@justingogotsis2736]

Whats that spoiler on the blue subaru at 7min30?? Anyone know?

[@hughyoung1602]

It's the 326 wing :)

Wow, took half the video to actually go through mods.
