WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1267 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I flushed my brake fluid and converted over to Motul. I didn't think the brakes would bite more with Motul, but what a difference. The brake pedal feels a little different, but not by much.

more likely due to getting any air bubbles out of your lines than the brand of DOT4.

I can literally drive around in 1st gear round my neighborhood at 20mph and it is just at 3K. Whereas before, that was 2nd gear. 1st gear was super touchy in that 20mph would have it at 4.5K (aka: revving high and loud, but not going anywhere quickly! therefore, needing to shift to 2nd as quickly as possible). I know this entirely because everyday on my work commute I have to drive at 15mph around a school zone, and I am in 2nd gear at under lower 2K~ RPMs.

It's so weird!

uhhh doesnt sound right. maybe your ecu/tach still need to calibrate etc. i had to flash mine twice because i goosed it too quickly after first tuning it and ecu didnt seem to learn, gas pedal always had a dead zone that wouldn't go away. light driving after reflashing cured it.

I'm this close to pulling the trigger on the same set. Did you get the 120vac or 12vdc power option?

110 plug in the wall. The assembly and priming/bleeding was a pain, but one time.
