86 owners, how's your idle?
 

My '13 FR-S idled so smoothly it was hard to tell it was running, at least when the crickets were dead.

My 86 has a much rougher, lumpier idle. If you had an FR-S/BRZ, how does yours compare?

Second attempt:
Former car: 2013 FR-S. It idled so smoothly it was hard to tell if it was running.

Current car: 2017 86. It has a very lumpy, rough idle.

Question: If you had an FR-S or BRZ and now have a 2017 86, how does your 2017 86's idle compare to the FR-S/BRZ?

Idle?

It varies for me. Some days smooth as eggs, other days not so much.

Rock solid idle. No drama.

2013 FR-S, MT - no power mods - idle has always been smooth.

I do believe the op was asking those that have had both the first and second generation cars to compare the two.

Oh well, he's getting bonus responses.

normal i guess?

Stop signs, stop lights, bong hits, things like that. I'm not cool enough to sit and bang off the rev-limiter when stopped.

My 13 liked to hunt for the idle rpm repeatedly at stop lights, and on a certain rhythm, where I thought it would almost sound to other cars like I was trying to egg them on or engage them.

After I flashed with OFT 91 tune it got better, but not 100% perfect. Sometimes it still idle hunts at a stop light, but way way less often than the stock tune.

I have a 2016- It's a little rough with the mods I have done. Right away a muffler and cat delete causes extra NVH and the tune changes timing. Sometimes idle dips a little. Idle LTFT is around 6, AFR is right on target.

My 13 FRS had idle issues they had to put shims in to adjust timing or the valves

in the morning after like a minute or so, it drops to about 500 , scares me a bit cuz it gets real quiet. Thought it would die but idles fine.

Really varies. My entirely stock 2016 FR-S has a pretty bouncy idle some days.
