WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 1383 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Replaced both front calipers. Both had the lower piston siezed. Upper was fine. Fluid did not look contaminated.

Took it for a drive to one of our favorite hiking spots after it's been sitting in the garage for the last two weeks. I mainly use it for autocross doing the season (~25 events), but I forgot how much I enjoy this car for just cruising around and having fun with. It goes away when they start salting the roads, which might be late December or late November depending on the weather this year.

Yeah, it's just about the same cost as 98 in Aus now..

Changed trans and diff fluids... a couple days ago.
Toyota WS ATF is pricey.

Had the windshield changed.

Installed STi axleback and wired up 4th brake light. Would show pics but my car is beyond dirty.

leaving things to my imagination isn't the best idea

IAG short blocks just went on sale

I don’t know how to reset the little infographic on the bezel that says average speed, mpg, etc.

I wanted to do that to my BRZ today but couldn’t.

Just press the thingy for a few seconds... Should "zero".. in case it doesn't then possibly you've bought a lemon!!

Lost another tire to our local pothole road. Getting a pair of 215/50/17s for the back to replace the bust one. A bit more air might help.

Gonna put in a claim on this one. The company that has the maintenance contract is not keeping up, and in BC we have a way to get compensated.

Went in for an oil change and was told how messed up my suspension is.

I have Bilstein B6 struts, and they aren’t leaking, but there is play between the shaft and the body. Apparently struts have bushings inside of them?? TIL.

On my whiteline control arms, the back right eccentric bolt “tab” is starting to round off and has completely destroyed the notch that it sits up against.

Guess it’s new coils and control arm time!

Front struts lasted 90k, rear shocks are still in great condition after the same mileage.

Rather than starting another thread for a two second question, I thought I’d ask here:

If I am going from a Tomei UEL header to a Tomei EL header, do I need a retune?

TIA
