Possible YouTube Channel Surrounding my FRS
 

Hey guys, been a member on the forum since 2013 and have owned by FRS since May of 2013! She's coming up on around 30k miles and still running strong with some light modifications (suspension, wheels+tires, header back, no HP freak here :party0030:)

My other hobby is photography/videography. I purchased a new point-and-shoot and would love to start making videos about cars/surrounding my past experiences and up-coming experiences with the FRS platform.

To get to the point, I have some ideas which I think would be interesting to film such as explaining the modifications I've done while looking under the car/wheels off/in-cabin/under the hood. BUT the most important thing is what viewers would be potentially want to see in a genre that has tons of other content creators in the vehicle review/automotive genre on YouTube. What would you like to see in videos that maybe hasn't been produced yet.

I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here, just wondering what FT86ers would like to see. :cheers: Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the terrible iPhone 6 lowlight quality but there she is!

buy a supercharger kit, install, film and review it. Then buy another brand supercharger kit, install, filt and review it. Repeat

Do it! You'll figure out your channel as you go. No one knows what they want until they see it.

I went turbo I vote turbo. I was always on the SC band wangon but my gawd I love turbos now. However install kinda sucks maybe he should make turbo/SC install videos lol

A youtube channel about car modifications?.....you are re-inventing the wheel

Get into drifting/autocross and document your progress in it. Either way, just get out there and start filming! :)

Another youtuber with frs/brz

I would like to see more people full of themselfs crash their cars in the most silly way possible. You know like what any logical person would never do. Then make a Go find me page to help them get their shit back.

Actually learn to drive the car, bolting on parts is easy, being fast is hard.

"Car Culture" is lame.

Lot of haters here

Well he did ask.

:clap:

Why would I watch a YouTube video done by someone who probably can't tell me why saving weight on wheels is a better mod than a rocket bunny kit?

"Rocket bunny is cool af yo!! Street cred brah"



(lol sadly your probably right cole)

I know that I'm probably right. I know the kind of people who buy and mod these cars. There are currently at least 8 (that I know of) rocket bunny twins in my area.

"I want to mod my car to be unique" is something none of them have ever heard of. But they're also the people who would rather sit in a parking lot and circle jerk instead of going for a drive with no destination.

Yeah its really sad that this is what the car community is coming to. People always ask me why I don't have a RB and its cuz my car isn't for show its to drive and enjoy. RB is a waste of time and money

Do it because you want to do it, and make the content YOU want.


Me? I'd love to see you crash the car. But you probably wont do that

Really Cole? Really? I know all kinds of people that mod these cars. Some even buy 9 or 10 exhausts

The whole car community is crashing down because of RB? How am I missing seeing that?
I would have guessed it was the whole "Turbo power brah" crowd myself.
I am amazed you didn't find an angle to say "Oh I am turboed" in this thread yet. Oh wait...
Carbon fiber hood, roof and truck isn't just as bad as RB?
Did you really bloody say that somebody buying something for their car is a "waste of time and money"? YOU said that?

For Christ sake the OP just was just excited and wanted to help the community and all of a sudden he is a RB loving, money wasting, posing hard parker?
He wasn't a **** or entitled douche (they seem to be ok with people and nobody says shit to them) and this crap is uncalled for.

Good point haha. In my local car community there is a lot more people that are all about stance and cosmetics then cars or performance and it makes me feel sour towards it all now TBH.

And car mods are a waste of money lol! I could have put a good down payment on a house for what I spent :(

Always got asked why i dont turbo my frs because sound like sti minus blow off sound

Go, why would you feel sad about it? It's THEIR thing and if it makes them happy, so be it.

I personally would never do a RB/wide tire mod but I do think they look cool.

I just have different goals and I'm 100% positive many would think they're stupid. I don't care because it will make me smile.

Yeah each to their own. Everyone has the right to spend their money how they like, I just wish there was more like minded people locally for me

Let them drive your car lol

Hahaha you cant use it for what its built for on the street and the nearest track is ~ 3 hours away :(

There probably are plenty. You have said many times you don't do meets and don't hang out with people so you can't complain that there are not more when you don't even know.

I've driven 3 hours to the track, spent 2 hours on track, then spent 3 hours driving home in a single day.

Your excuse sucks.

It was totally worth it as I can confidently say I've been on the largest roadcourse in North America at ~4.6 miles.

Edit: OP should totally go to that track, he lives closer to it than I do.

Meh, make a weekend out of it!

Pro tip: I'm not the person who has a chip on my shoulder and gets mad when someone doesn't like my car.

I fail to see how he can bring anything new to the table. If he wants to help out the community, post some good original content here first. Another pro tip for you: dude has no original content, hence him asking if it's a good idea here.

I have been going a little more now, maybe I am going to the wrong places :iono:

That is just it. This dude didn't show up with a chip on his shoulder.He asked a nice polite question in a reasonable manner and then everybody jumped him. Maybe a bit naïve in thinking there is new content to be had but no chip. He never even mentions RB once and at no point defends his car or what he has done. In fact he is pretty humble about it.
If he had come on like a douche I would have piled on with the rest but damnit he didn't.
Meanwhile in the tech threads there are some total asshats cursing out everybody that even attempts to help them over and over but all they get is yet more help.

&... done.
OP, you're more than welcome to restart new thread w same question. I wasn't gonna clean up 2 pages of off-topic shitstorm.

As for me on this topic, do what you want to do. When you rec a vid that you want to do, it's fun watching for me.

Just my 2yen
