Is there a high mileage thread for BRZ?
I see there is one for FRS, I am wondering if there is one for BRZ?
https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107723 I searched, did not find anything promising. Any help? I am hitting 50k next week. I know it is not a lot. But it is a milestone for me. So what to post it somewhere. Thanks. |

I think the BRZ crowd just hangs out with us FRS peasants in the other thread.

Issues so far: 1. Replaced clutch at 100k due to throw-out bearing failure 2. Replaced 1 wheel bearing at around 150k 3. My throw out bearing is starting to make noise again at 175k. For anyone who is prepping for a TOB/clutch replacement and are going with an Exedy OEM replacement clutch, buy the latest revision of the throw out bearing from Toyota and have the shop use that. PN SU003-07349 Still on original front brake pads. This car has treated me well. I will likely be moving on to a 2018 BMW M2 or 2021 Audi S3 this spring/summer. Not sure if I am going to keep the BRZ as a backup, or hand it off to my nephew who has had his eye on it. |

I bought mine when it had 95k. It’s a 2013 too. I’m just a glutton for punishment.
107k now, woot. |

Is there a high mileage thread for BRZ?

If you can do a timing belt you can do a TOB easily. We don't have timing belts in our cars BTW I’m only at 81k but car is holding up well. Even after being oil starved under load.

The labor is a little pricey so to me it is worth replacing the clutch + TOB when only the TOB needs replacement. My flywheel was machined, not replaced the last time I had my clutch done. Local performance shop did everything for $1100, including the parts. |
