stranded at the track - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Since your location is "U.S." it's gonna take me along time to check all the tracks in 50 states. Hope you have a good supply of food & water....I may be a while.

That $75 a year for AAA doesn't look so bad now does it?

dabocx · 09-15-2012, 07:28 PM

Well i manged to fix it about 30 minutes after this post and went straight back for some fun

Regardless it ended up being something stupid simple, we spent forever looking all over, resetting the battery, checking fuses exc. In the end the factory forgot a hose clamp on one of the vacumum *not sure* lines. I took off the cover on top of the intake manifold where it says Toyota/Subaru. There was two hoses, one had a hose clamp and was nice a sturdy. The second did not and the hose was loose. The Hose also doesnt look normal, it looks like they made the orginal hose too short and glued a extension.

I just zip tied it for the time being and it worked great. Still going to take it to the dealer and see whats up with that. From the looks of it that hose never had a hose clamp so they most likely forgot it at the factory >_>

I only have one hose under there, and some kind of cap?

One on the left was the one that got loose.

Looks like that hose is the post to be like that and perrins doesnt have a hose clamp so pretty strange that it got loose after only one lap.

gmookher · 09-15-2012, 07:37 PM

Ok you should all check yours too. Mine came off with just a little tug. I added a clamp to mine too.

wheelman · 09-15-2012, 07:40 PM

sounds like they have poor quality control???? lose after one lap BS!my friend got one and 200 miles later still in the shop having BIG TROUBLE! rushed to market??? wish me luck BROTHER! the wheelman...got a manual asphalt so far so good.great deal also.

ft86Fan · 09-15-2012, 08:42 PM

I just checked and there is no clamp for that left hose either on my car.

Roadstercycle · 09-15-2012, 09:27 PM

Glad you got it sorted out.

That's the pvc hose with a another hose/protective cover over it. Mine did not have a clamp either but being a turbo now it needed one. The plug next to it is a perfect place for a boost gauge and BOV hook up. It's like they made it for it.

Yup, a minor vacume leak and your friends car is messed up......
RECALL ALL OF THE CARS!!

Texas BRZ · 09-16-2012, 01:14 AM

Well, at least you managed to correct it in whichever manner you could, and then go on to continue with your session(s) at the track...

I know it's always a terrible feeling when I have to leave an event incomplete due to mechanical issues with the car...

mr. slim · 09-16-2012, 01:09 PM

Do I hear another TSB coming?
