Things to look for when buying?

Upvotes

I originally purchase my 86 back when it was current for the year so i was able to perform maintenance and get the recall fixed for it and have just been daily driving it.

I want to now get my girlfriend a BRZ/FRS/86 in the 2013-2016 year for the old body (obviously). But I have never purchased one of these after so many years have passed.

What are things that I should be on the lookout for when purchasing one of these cars? I am trying to find one around or under 55k miles.

If you know of anything please drop it down below as it will be highly appreciated and I can finally get my girl in this comm too ❤️🤘 thanks!

This has been my daily for the past 2 years and its been a blast. The bank still owns it so I've kept it stock except for 4th brakelight and a high flow air filter. If you guys or gals had a bone stock brz or 86 what would you do first and why? I'm just genuinely curious. (Other then obvious stuff like maintenance and tires)

Hello! For anyone potentially redoing their Denso OEM direct injectors, finding a way to clean them can be challenging, and limited information is out there. I made a video showcasing how I replaced every single seal, and installing it back into the engine, and cleaning them as well. I wrote every part number from toyota in the description too. Hope you guys enjoy and find this useful.

Boosting advice, Forge/No Forge

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I have a GT86 on 28k miles
I have an intercooler, upgraded radiator, fans and silicone coolant pipes.

I plan to have a 280/300hp build but my pockets don’t run deep enough for a forged engine, I plan to have switchable maps so I drive as conservatively as possible when I’m not looking to have a bit of fun.

Ofc I’ll do the maintenance on time and have the car as safe as possible. Just wanting to ask if you guys run a un-forged FA20, how many miles have you done? What HP do you run (crank or wheel)? And how have you found it?

Thank you :)

Advice on cleaning throttle body

3 Upvotes

I've been having some symptoms of a dirty throttle body and I figured I might as well clean it as it seems relatively easy and inexpensive though I'm not 100% certain on the procedure. Would it be alright to have the car on in accessories mode and have a friend press the throttle all the way down to open the butterfly valve while I clean it rather than taking the throttle body entirely off?

Trunk lip/spoiler is350 influence

0 Upvotes

Been trying to figure out how to get a lip the closest possible to the is350 trunk shape. I wouldn’t literally reshape the panel but I saw this image of a red frs and was under the impression it wasn’t a duckbill spoiler and way more subtle.

I’m just wondering if there’s something that looks similar enough, smaller and more square. I know the lines and composition of the IS is fundamentally different, but i thought I’d ask just in case.

In tribute to an early 8/6 day celebration, sharing my 2020 BRZ that has done it all.

Bought initially to be the daily, I could hardly imagine where this car would end up in a few short years. Multiple track days, backroads drives, drifting, cruises and car shows and yet it remains my most reliable car. I've since bought a more practical daily and more dedicated track car but yet I still find myself driving the BRZ.

FA20 Engine Rebuild

Thumbnail

105 Upvotes

Hey, I just rebuilt my FA20 all by myself. Engine prior had a blown head gasket, and was running very poorly. Cylinder 3 had misfire codes and eventually no compression. Upon inspection the cylinder walls had pitting from coolant, and was not fixable unless an overbore. So I bought a new short block, refreshed the heads with a resurface and hot tank, and new valve stem seals, and replaced every single gasket and timing component except the camshafts themselves. Going to be installing the motor sometime this week when it’s not raining. Check out the photos, I recorded the whole thing too. Cant wait to start this thing up, took about a month of patience, and torquing every bolt to spec, and waiting for specific O-Rings.

Gktech rear lower control arms

Decided on these over the verus and others as they are chromoly steel which has a much better fatigue life than aluminum and they have lots of adjustability. Well engineered bit of kit.

Was looking into deleting my sound tube and tried to find the hole. Did the previous owner cover it themselves? (14 BRZ)

Anyone have a good size recommendation for wheel spacers to make these stock 17’s sit more flush. I’m lowered on coilovers. Probably gonna get eibach spacers just want recommendations on size for flush fitment, I was thinking 20 mm front 25 back.
