F
Do you believe the Mutekis were just an isolated incident, or is this more common? |

Here’s a quick update on my car. While I was searching around Japanese 86/BRZ group member sites for some ideas, I came across this mod.
Not sure anyone felt unknown heavy steering while autox, track &/or drift with counter steering. Well, kouki 86/BRZ have improve that part by updating their EPS. Good news to zenki 86/BRZ owner is that, you can swap out with kouki EPS. Zenki model should have big “G” on it. Kouki model should have “1”... then why is other one have “3” on it? When I google search that part number it said it’s for ‘18 BRZ STI model. Which I’m assuming it’s for tS model (in US, BRZ tS came as ‘18 model). tS or kouki model EPS price was almost same on eBay (+-$5 difference). So thought to test it out if tS model EPS works on zenki model. Answer that question is, yes, it does work. Work itself took about 30mins. Only 3 bolts, 2 screws & 1 nut to get it off, so why took 30mins? EPS is in very awkward area (behind trunk release & light adjusting button), so had to go through several wires with twisting my arm & hand to get those bolts off. If you careful and take your time, it’s not that hard. No, I’m not planning to make DIY, cuz it’s easy mod. Test drove after installation and yes, there’s a difference in the steering feel. It’s a lot lighter. I prefer zenki power steering weight, but kouki power steering isn’t bad either. Here’s a vid (if you understand Japanese) |

Yeah, I want to keep the fundament of this car as is, but add my taste to it. Haha not sure what part of Utah you live? I work downtown, but rarely take freeway. That might be the reason why you don’t see me. I try to wave everyone who wave at me... except in the morning. My mind is somewhere else (half asleep), so don’t get offended if I didn’t. lol |

Gotcha, iirc there are good amount of 86/BRZ owners around your area. There’s also FRS/BRZ/86 UT FB GP. They don’t post much, but they do few meet annually.

Well, if you’re near downtown or Midvale and see me, wave. We’re black sheep of Toyota/Subaru, so most Toyota/Subaru owners don’t wave back lol |

I've heard that shop but never been there. I usually goes to my wife's uncle shop. I've been using them way before meeting my wife and they have been good. |
