The REAL reasons i bought a GT86

[@isuk]

I bought a 12 plate 2 years ago with just 28k miles on it at the time, best car ever

[@ConnerRhysuk]

@@isuk they're great cars! Too many people look down on them without ever experiencing them

[@beanwater22]

Owned my gt86 for a little over 2 years now, I'm in love with it

[@ConnerRhysuk]

@@beanwater22 hell yeah! They're great cars!

[@sk1p3r]

I've bought mine 1.5 year ago, it's a 2014 version with 54k miles on the clock. Now I'm at 80k. It is my daily. I'm wandering how long will it keep going before I will need to start spending the big bucks. So far I'm loving it. And I want to keep it for as long as possible. I'd say keep the car mate! Keep on the good work on the YT channel. It's a great quality content! Thank you and best of luck!

[@ConnerRhysuk]

@@sk1p3r thanks mate I really appreciate that! 😁 And yeah I think I'm going to keep it, and just work a bit harder on building it and modifying it. And I'm glad you're enjoying yours too! 😁

I have a GT86 2018 facelift with 150,000km and I only had to replace the brakes and a few wheel bearings. I am very happy with the car and hope for many more good years.😉👍🏻

[@ConnerRhysuk]

@@manfred5597 the newer ones are much harder wearing than these old ones 😂 so good on you I'm glad you enjoy the car! And I hope you have many more years with it 😁

The GT86 2014 and after are solid the 2012 and 13 models dont have super great engines but 90% of the time they are super reliable

[@ConnerRhysuk]

@@xirv8731 theres a lawsuit out atm about the engines of gt86s made after 2014

[@Aearonjer]

I was building a NSX in Japan before my 86, the 86 parts a super cheap in comparison.

[@ConnerRhysuk]

@@Aearonjer yeah but that's a NSX that's understandable

[@Aearonjer]

@@ConnerRhysuk Which is my point, expensive is relative.

[@ConnerRhysuk]

@ yeah I suppose ur right

[@Nemonobody2024]

Surely wheel bearings are just normal wear and tear though? ( no hate, I'm just curious )

[@Nrx416]

Gt86s wheels bearings are a common problem, heard lots of people complain that they sound like you're in an aeroplane because they fail so often 😂😂

[@KorraVal]

when r u widebodying it? if youre local to me i can supply tools for it cuz im about to widebody mine over christmas!

[@ConnerRhysuk]

@@KorraVal where abouts are you based? ( I wasn't planning on going wide, just yet as I'm currently working on other projects but I'm still interested )

[@iRome927]

How many miles were you at when your engine blew? I just bought an automatic 2016 with 90k miles

[@ConnerRhysuk]

I was at around 106k miles mate

[@othmanourfahli7881]

I would like to buy one but I don't know if the parts are still available or not.

[@ConnerRhysuk]

Mostly every part for an 86 are all still available to buy, Toyota still make all the parts for them 😁

[@BRZguy]

You're better off building the engine and going FI with these cars instead of engine swapping. That will just be a lot of money and headaches.

[@ConnerRhysuk]

@@BRZguy a lot of people have recommended this now, think I'm gonna look into it

[@Yvzno]

Could you tell me the rim name and size? Looks nice :)

[@ConnerRhysuk]

@@Yvzno sure they're bola b1 18x8.5 5x100

[@moldyrefrigerator]

They are fake TE37s

[@ConnerRhysuk]

@@moldyrefrigerator yep 😂
