Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community - FT86CLUB

Hi everyone

first of all, my first language is not English so try to ignore all my mistake plz
slowly getting there right? :bonk:

this is all about long build with date and feedback for my aftermarkets part.
follow by the auto x and track video

the example for review format

"yyyy.mm.dd
modified part name
feedback"

I had a 2016 Scion Frs for 2 years. First impression to drove the gt86 was remember me the go kart when I was turning into corner, then I had 2 track day on bone stock and i love it. Forgot to mention that is my first time to drive manual car exp in the drive school. After that two years lease, the 2017 Toyota 86 come out with a 5 hp power increase. By the same time, I need change my brake pad, rotor, brake fluid, engine oil, transmission fluid, diff fluid..... u can count it how much it could be to prepare my next track day,therefore i went to test drove the 2017 86 which give me a very solid feeling compare to 2016, a bit different clutch point, a smaller steering wheel, a short gear ratio, never feel the diff difference between 16 and 17. So i decided to get another lease on 2017 86 with better deal. I had one more track day with my 17 86 as bone stock which i feel i cant push my self anymore. Best time on VIMC is 1:36 at that time.

MXP Comp RS TI Tips Catback Exhaust System - 2013+ FR-S / BRZ

it was all start as a accident which was on Xmas eve, i was parking the car on my friend's driveway at a snow day, after 10 mins the car slide back into a rock beside the driveway, and my exhaust tip got damaged

here is the review on mxp comp rs ti tip cat back, sound good not so loud not too quiet. It is below 95 dB for sure, I have no problem on VIMC since most track has their sound limitation. it is very nice in the city, but the con part is on the highway. Since the 17 get short gear ratio, 6th gear around 90-100km/h which rpm will stay around 2500. it is require a very light throttle control, otherwise it will be very annoying. 5clicks more on stock speaker in city, 10 clicks more on the highway compare to the stock cat back.

one more thing, i find out the air drag will be the problem with this cat back. There is huge empty space just in front of the rear bumper, and our bumper is a inverse "C" shape. It is looks like a parachuting, something like stock spare muffler will be much better to solve this.

I cant feel any difference after change the engine oil, but I do feel some thing with the gear 300 for my transmission. It is a bit better after u changed the fluid anyway, but it is feel not smooth when the car not on the working temperature. After u car is warm up, it is whole different story.

Stoptech Drilled Rotor Pair (Front) - 2013+ FR-S / BRZ

this is my first time using after market rotor, i don't know much about drill and slot. It was a mistake for just being cool.
with the hawk dtc 60, the rotor is not strong enough to hold the pad.
just check it recently, pad have tons life time left, but the rotor is fked.
going to switch to DBA T3 4000 for my next pad and give it a try.

overall, without turbo we should stay with the oem calipers since it is going to be change frequently if u tracking the car. a big BBK wont help much and will cost way too much.

Enkei RPF1 Wheels 17x8 +45mm (Gold) - 2013+ FR-S / BRZ

It is really painful when I did the research on the wheel size and tire size just make sure i dont mess up anything with factory setup, I really like the factory set up a bit body roll but really help understand what is going on with the car. It is working well at VIMC exp one corner, we got a lot of off camber hair pin corner. So softer really help u dont losses the rear end.

with the stock suspension, I am using square set up 17x8 +45 with re71r 245 40 17. It is looks very meaty.

Toyota has their TPMS install in the end of the steam between tires and wheels. I end up bought 4 of them from dealer, and keep the stock for the winter.
You also need hub ring to center up the wheel on the hub. ps: get a steel one they r going to get hot under heavy braking.

I did some permit paint just wanna to prevent the rust

and I was planning to install the control arm and camber blot myself
but just being lazy, was thinking it should be around $100 more but yea
it was $210 for installed those two

anyway, it is most expensive alignment i had ever done:bonk:
but the result is great
overall very good alignment, but wont ask them to do any installation for part tho

car drive amazing
they did their best for caster a bit off but acceptable:scared0016:

i think the front and rear was not done by the same guys from factory
the rear just perfect from factory,and it is explain why my rear tire wearing so even
i did change 2 front tires before the alignment

the closest event will be auto x, will test it all!

set my new best time as 1:2581
it could be wrong, the data is mass up
but i did it twice at 1:2581 and 1:2598
go pro only got one section when i link the lap timer with go pro
found on video very close to 1:26 just between video1 and video2:(
if the lap timer did more accuracy on start and finish time, it could be right

the trail braking really open to a new world, a lot of things to improve
new references point
and try to be constant next time
will do it again in end of Sep
and i am already paid:lol:
hopefully no rain this time
