All things considered I have nothing to complain about to be honest, it was a baby and I managed to only clip it thanks to some emergency braking. Would have avoided it entirely but I was on the highway and had someone next to me 😭

So my BRZ had developed a Thunk up front but only when going over bumps on one side. I'm pretty sure its the end links. Its stock height right now but I want to drop it .5 in the future. My question is do I need adjustable end links? Does my problem even sound like its the end links? 2019 with 152k miles

I’m looking to change my Toyota Yaris 🤪 for something more fun and thinking about maybe getting into mods in the future. I really enjoy taking car photos and I frequently go to events. I’m originally a motorcyclist but now being based in Germany is not the best option.

The thing is that the first minutes it felt great but then just nothing special. I’m not sure if my expectations were unrealistic or I was also very hyped because of everything I read and heard online.

It’s also a quite expensive car: 34k Euros, 2024, 50k kilometers, I’ll need to get a credit (which was approved) which means setting some money aside each month for 3 years.

Did something like this also happened to you? I’ve been wanting this car so bad and now I’m just feeling quite sad about it. I was also interested in a mx-5 or a z4 but ugh I tried the brz because it was my first option.

I’ve been looking at 17x9 Kansei KNP’s, and I was able to talk to a customer service rep about fitment. They stated it will fit but it’ll be tight since I have Brembos. Should I look for a different wheel?
(Offset will be +35)

Old engine was at 205000-ish kms. Been having an internal metallic rattle for a year which sounds like the camshaft is hitting the valve or something so i decided to put a new engine in. Glad she’s running smooth and quiet again.

Currently 100k kms on stock suspension, I’m looking at lowering my post facelift base BRZ by 25mm

Initially I want to get coilover like tein flex z to do so, then I realised it is illegal to install adjustable coilover where I live.

So now I got a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs. Based on the review online it sounds like exactly what I’m after. My question is what to do with the struts

If I keep the existing stock strut, given the mileage I feel like they will get destroyed soon by the lowering spring

I heard good things about koni and bilstein, but they are out of my budget.

Also considered second hand low mileage sachs or stock.This comes with the risk of dishonest seller.

I’m leaning towards getting new KYB Excel-G or Tein Endurapro+ struts to pair with the Eibach spring. But I don’t know how to pick between the two, and i wonder if anyone has experience with these structs with lowering spring. Or are there other suggestion.

I am lowering to kill the wheel gap. I quite like how the stock suspension rides and will be happy if the ride feel remains close to stock.The car will be mainly street use.

I just bought an oft to log data and run stage 1 on my 2013 scion FRS and my iam will constantly go to .900, then 1.00 and now .700 on stock tune and just fluctuate in general. I attached a pic of spark plugs to see how my engine delt with the knock but imo they look fine. Tomorrow I’m going to do a smoke test, run a tank of redline fuel injection cleaner, clean maf sensor, and then clean throttle body but if that doesent somehow fix the problem I might as well start saving for a new engine cause I don’t even know anymore.

If you are down to help me I can send data logs and any info u want im mad asf because I don’t even have fun driving anymore knowing I have to baby the engine every time I drive.

Does anyone know ways to hide the stock holes when putting a duckbill on? I cant find a trunk in the correct paint code that is wingless

Mine always rust....

Direct me to some stainless steel bolts that are good forever!!!

Am deciding whether to up to 18s or stay at 17s on stock height.

How does it feel? Photos would be great

Edit: thanks all for the comments

made me want to do things to my car lol

2017 jap import 150km on the clock.

I do my own oil. This was probably my third time and just noticed this bit of oil around the filter. I did my oil a while ago and everything else has looked fine and plan on doing it again this week. I know sometimes oil just gets on there when changing it but I don't recall seeing that when I did it. I should be fine to drive as long as I do my oil this week, right?

Can anyone give their opinion on both seats? I want to fit them into my Celica GTS since they have a similar chassis.

i recently been having some problems where my car randomly goes into limp mode while driving. when i pull over the car will sometimes idle weird or just have no power behind the throttle. It throws no codes or warning lights. After pushing it in limp mode for a little bit the car kicks back in like normal. seems like the lower my fuel level the more consistent it is

Been having a hard time finding a good independent mechanic for this platform. Can anyone help with recommendations?

Is it okay for it to be open I swear this is my 3rd one they always dry out get brittle and disappear is this normal?

Anyone in here actually tried these out? My handle has started to develop a little lip on the top of the lever and i find it annoying. Not sure if the chrome is gonna start peeling off now or what. I may just remove the chrome and paint it black. But it might be nice to do an upgrade to something a little nicer. I like higher quality touch points which is why I find that little lip is so annoying. TIA.

Hey guys,

Recently acquired a 2015 GT86 UK Spec,

Driving it back home on the motorway and I noticed the temperature gauge hasn’t moved,

My question is what is your temp gauge look like when up to running temperature, I’ll attach mine here

Thanks in advance!

Edit:

Thank you everyone for your help we think due to the cold and potentially having different headers it’s just running cooler than we expected!
