Hmmm.. how about the others? Any Chirping experience you can share?

no idea since i've only used blaze 100 and v-power nitro on my brz.

it was also confirmed by other 86/brz guys on the fb 86-brz group that vpower nitro is causing chirping.

empty your tank to alarm level then refuel to full by using petron blaze 100
i experience that cricket/chirping sound using vpower nitro. Shift to blaze.

paps.. nasubukan ko na lahat ng gas stations sa regular pumps maliban sa Regular 80 octane... Blaze 100 ka lang kung ayaw mo marinig yung chirp.. does not bother me tho... sometimes i still use Petron Extra or XCS especially sa probinsya

Till last night I heard the dreaded chirping. Im on 3,000 km now. Has anyone here experienced this?

I think chirping comes from the ethanol conent of the gasoline. Blaze 100 should be ethanol free (as the gasboy tells me) but youll never be sure...

Try other petron stations and hope the chirping stops

@Wilcats, baka kung san ka din huli nagpa-gas, di kaya? kaya ako, i only gas up on certain gas stations as much as possible.. you never know kasi if sa ibang stations if walang halo yung gas nila

VDS headers are Dyno proven to get at least 8-12hp or your money back. That's how they do things when they sell to customers. Quality is great, comparable to imported headers.

I always fill up at Petron katipunan, never had crickets. I tried vpower one time, and heard crickets. After using up the tank, went back to blaze and never heard the crickets again.

I just wanna say what I an idiot I feel like. When my BRZ deal fell apart I happened to look at the Toyota Philippines website to check out the 86. I saw something in the config section that caught my eye. Galaxy Blue Silica.

(Tried attaching a screen cap but tapatalk won't let me so just see for yourself at the site.)

Anyway, the color looked new to me cause it looked very close to WR Blue and I became very interested. Talked to people (sales reps) and got told it was the same color. Had no reason to doubt them since that's what I saw for myself at the site. But I still wanted to see the color in person to decide for myself. None of the dealers I talked to had the color and so couldn't show me.

I figured that it must be a new color for 2013 or something cause I haven't seen the car in that color before. Then during the course of my conversation with my rep he had said something rather alarming. Galaxy Blue was the color of their first display unit. This is where my gut should've sank. I dismissed it and told myself that he must be mistaken. No way!

I should've known better. People may not know color names or be able to accurately describe color hues but almost everyone can tell time. I just decided to google Galaxy Blue Silica and to my dismay it turned out to be the dark blue I've seem before. Seriously, if you haven't already, go to the Toyota Philippines site and tell me the blue they use is the same hue as the car!

So now I gotta decide on a color other than blue cause though I really want a blue car, the only blue I'm interested in is WR Blue Pearl. I'm gonna have to call my guy up tomorrow to change the color of my reservation but what a bummer.

Still deciding on what to get. Looks like I'm gonna have to order white or silver. I was really looking forward to getting a color I haven't had before.

Someone please convince me Dark Gray Metallic is the way to go!

@Duo bro, if you wanna check out the Blue 86 there's a display in toyota makati was supposed to get it but didnt like the color. right now im looking for a red 86 or black.

Edit: Btw the silver 86 looks nice!

toyotas being an ass with reservation of units specially the manager of toyota alabang! In order to get an 86 via bank autoloan you need to add a bit of dealers incentive to your monthly ammoritzation .

Anyone here got their 86 via bank autoloan? can you guys refer me to your agent and kung oks lang pm me how much did you get the unit?

It would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

di maganda yung silver! just kidding, it's the color of mine kasi hehe the dark gray metallic was actually one of my choices pero i really prefer a light colored car kaya i ended up with the silver.. first choice was the white sana kaso pearl so no thanks

btw, parang konti lang din naka dark gray so if you want a not-so-common color, you can go for it.. madalas nako may nakakasabay na silver din kala ko pa naman konti lang may gusto nito hehe
