How do you buy a car thats simply abandoned on the street without meeting the previous owner. I think there's something youre not telling us.

[@heathobarr4785]

What degreaser do you use to take all that sap off? Your videos are great and informative.

[@craigkenyon1780]

I don't like gold wheels! the engine is a Subaru boxer engine! the Japanese boxer engine was developed based on the original boxer engine that Porsche invented for the Porsche Boxster! the name boxer coms from the sport of boxing because the heads of the cylinders meet each other as they pass each other just like the gloves of boxers during a match, this is due to the 2 cylinders on each side being horizontally opposed facing inward towards the valley of the intake manifold which sits in-between the cylinder heads and are set in an interlocking finger design unlike a v style where they are positioned in a v style shaped angle moving outward towards the exhaust manifold headers or a straight or in line where they move up and down in a vertical orientation the difference in straight verses inline being inline are set in a straight single file line where a straight engine set up they are in a single file line on each side of the engine block!

[@craigkenyon1780]

given the boxer engines where designed they pack a very venomous and addicting punch with superior throttle response even with low power numbers making them a thrill to drive!

[@toddhayes7031]

I love Scion, Toyota offered a car you could special order to how you wanted it, and I put together an XB in late summer of 2003 exactly how I wanted it. It came out to 16k.* A full - page ad in Rolling Stone Magazine set me off.* I nervously wrote out the cheque, but drove away in an exciting new car I ordered myself down to how the hubcaps looked. So many options to choose from! I had the only one in town, and it brought lots of attention. Between my enthusiasm for it and the interest it created, many unique examples of it were ordered from our local dealer. Scion brought back the excitement of buying a new car. Some years later the FRS was really the cherry on top! Great score dude! that is a future classic.

[@mighty86]

The FR-S was my dream car growing up and now I have a GR86. Seeing that car in such poorly kept condition made me sad but you guys brought its life back. Good job!

[@windronner1]

This is one hot little number. Even without stick this looks like a blast to drive.

[@cglenn1457]

You guys have been crushing it with the uploads recently. I'm glad you have a modern era car that actually runs this week. To answer your question, I love Gold rims on the right vehicle. I don't know how much I love them on that white Scion, but I loved them on my old, gold Infini and I really love them on matte black vehicles, too. Let's see how I feel when you guys are done with the detail, though. Have a great week.

Those sparco wheels are really quality wheels so light and durable!! Plus they look outstanding

That bug is called an earwig. As a kid one was in my shoe and left it's pinchers literally in my foot. I didn't realize it till later when I took off my shoes. For some weird reason it didn't hurt, but it was also not in deep so that's probably why.

[@timbroderick4454]

[@arlenebrooks5163]

Also they don't get in your ears and make you deaf...LOL I don't know why they are called earwigs but that's what I've always heard them called. They really are harmless. The pinchers are to soft to do any real damage.

​@@arlenebrooks5163Incorrect, one crawled in my ear years ago while I was asleep in a tent.

​@@arlenebrooks5163It is called scissors in Spain, they do slight damage, with the tweezers like a wasp sting, they are usually on trees and plants in shady areas and they sting your legs and arms, it is common in the field, I have many stings... but they have not survived haha

[@garylewis6192]

Awesome little car They run forever with proper maintenance

[@mordechaitaub3594]

My Dad has a 2006 Ford 15 passenger van that he used to use for his work a long time ago. And then his business grew he had to get a bigger vehicle to hold all his tools. Now it's used by us for trips and vacations we go on. ( As of this comment is written) It's been 2 weeks since It has been last washed. Before 2 weeks ago it has not been washed since the summer of 2018. The last time we went on vacation was the summer of 2019. Ever since 2019 it has been sitting for 4 years, so it was like 3 or 4 different colors green brown black and maybe rust spots. I was bored that day so we decided that I should clean it. Now the sides were not so bad but the roof was the most dirty and the most satisfying part in my opinion. When I was doing the roof and cleaning it up I was thinking of your channel and how satisfying it is to watch all the years of dirt being cleaned off.

[@mattpipes5106]

I really like the Sparco gold rims on the car… the earwigs I could definitely live without! Was the front bumper replaced at some point? It looked like it was a different color when you were washing it, before it was re-painted. Nice job!

[@SpookyFow]

Awesome find! I'd ditch the goofy Sparco rally wheels. Or, do a rally build. I've never seen a Dakar/Safari FRS build.

[@95unded]

The badge may not have come with the car but as mentioned earlier it is really a Toyota 86 or a Subaru brz. As the gold rims I love them so long as they complement the paint. Personally I like the gold rims with a dark blue, purple or black, white not so much. Enjoy your new ride!

[@dpm1057]

I am with you on the gold rims. Pair those with yellow, orange and lighter shades of red, there just isn't enough contrast to make them pop. I think they are OK with the white, but the colors you suggested are spot on.

[@monstershayne]

No it is a Scion FRS. The FRS was the north american version of the 86 from 2013-2016, and it was introduced as the Toyota 86 everywhere else in the world. Since Scion went out, it became the Toyota GT86 everywhere in 2017, when they facelifted the 86 and the BRZ.

[@philtrysstrongman]

​@monstershayne4532 that maybe so but it is exactly the same as a 86 or brz just drifremt name all parts shared so his point remains

[@monstershayne]

@@philtrysstrongman he said "it is really a Toyota 86 or a Subaru BRZ." I simply said it is an FRS. I don't call my BRZ an FRS or an 86 depending how I feel on that day, because it is a BRZ.

[@ranp9035]

Scion Fr-s..Toyota 86...Subaru Brz...all the same. The Scion Fr-s came with the 86 badging..Until the Scion name got dropped. I own a '13 Fr-s..not built for speed..but, best handling of any car I ever owned..not to mention the body style is sexy as hell..with a few mods of course..

[@IceAssassin22]

i have a FR-S and it comes with the 86 badge. its because Toyota owned Scion and thats why theres a Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86 and Scion FR-S. The engine is a 4 piston flat 4. otherwise known as a Boxer

[@CCM911]

Great job guys! What a nice car! And it is a Toyota, so all you have to do is change the oil and the brakes periodically, and it will last forever. I am so glad you bought it.

[@pauldavies4667]

Well actually it is a Subaru built car, launched as a joint project between Subaru (BRZ)and Toyota (86) built in the Subaru factory with a boxer engine like all Subaru and unlike any Toyota.

Heyyy, proud new owner! This had to be one of my personal favorites primarily because the vehicle didnt' remain a turd even after the detail. Nice job, boyz!

[@saadmustafaisgolden5084]

A few things to note here! Firstly, the FR-S actually did come factory stock with the 86 logos but typically they are removed in favor of the carbon fiber vented ones or the blacked out ones because the chrome itself is too bright and bulky and interrupts the flow of the car. Secondly, this motor is a FA20 motor putting out roughly 200 HP on around a solid 2700lbs of weight and it was designed by Subaru taking inspiration from the EJ motor (the FA is N/A, but is still a boxer engine like both cars). Some quirks to note about the FA is that the oil filter is up top on the engine bay and the spark plugs are located on the side of the engine making sparkplugs an extremely difficult job to do on these cars. Additionally, the FA20 would've been a great engine for this platform if the tune from factory hadn't been the worst thing on this Earth, more specifically the infamous torque dip in 3/4. The torque dip was so bad that foot pressed down to the floor you would only gain 1-2 mph every 2-3 seconds or so, and the only way to avoid the torque dip while driving would be to shift into 4th at redline for 3rd and even then you would encounter it. The way to get rid of the torque dip would be to add aspiration via a turbo or supercharger (supercharger is easier to do on these cars as you can just connect it via the crank pulley), or by getting UEL headers and using an OFT (preferably ecutek on this platform). Other than that, they're incredibly fun and meant to beat other cars in corners; it's able to keep up with the likes of Porsche in corners and even outclass Lamborghini and Ferrari in certain cases on the corners. They are by no means "fast" compared to other sports car, nor are they meant to be, they are meant to be driven in the canyons and properly enjoyed on the road and they love to be taken to redline and abused by absolutely letting that engine rev to the moon!

Gold Wheels would not be my first choice. This was a joint venture with Subaru so the flat 4 boxer engine is what you see here. Subaru's version is the BRZ. Thank you for removing the clear bra, it was driving me nuts. Actually, it appeared that the front bumper cover had been repainted at some point, and it wasn't that great of a match. It looks far better now.

I really like the Scion two coupes. I'm no familiar with the FRS 86. I seen a lot of the Scion TC because I once worked at a Toyota dealer that sold. As I'm sure you know. Scion was created to be a division of Toyota for younger car buyers but the amount of Scion cars turned out to be much less than expected so Scion was shutt down a while back. I'm interested in the Avalonking spray paint protectant. Would like to know how to get two bottles for the price of one. I looked up their website. Is there a special code to get two bottles for price of one. Please let me know.

I bought my 2013 FRS brand new. There were 3 on the lot and 2 of them had that clear plastic junk on the front end for an additional $240 charge. SCION was always "pure priced" so it was supposed to be the same price at every dealership unless cheap mods were added. I bought the 1 without the film on it and after 4 months I got rid of it with 400 miles on it. Very underpowered for the price yet people are still asking top dollar for them.

[@neilharrison7555]

The engine is an FA20 boxer engine from Subaru with Toyota's direct injection system. It was made to sit as low as possible to best center of gravity to increase handling. For the 22+ BRZ and GR86, they made the FA24. More displacement for more power and torque.
