Introducing myself - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

fz6r · 02-13-2014, 01:19 PM

Hello everyone. My name is Shawn and I'm a new owner to a '14 FRS.

(not sure if the pic embedded, so also including the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/78858374@N03/12503935325/)

I do have a couple of questions. I came from an 07 VW GTI. I'm used to DI and the motor ticking but it seems somewhat loud in this car. Is that normal?

I skimmed through the owners manual and didn't find the 'break in' procedure. I've been going from what you guys have been saying around the forum, but do you know which page the information is on in the manual? (sorry for the stupid question here)

Outside of that, i'm glad to be a part of the Twin community.

Welcome from one noob to another

Sup, first and foremost, the "twins" reference is well outplayed and I've always hated it.

This car is loud, and without knowing what you're hearing, it's hard to say but I'd bet it's normal. It's lightweight and insulation was scarcaly used to save weight/keep cost down.

The break in period is listed in the manual. I'm going to persaude you to look again and actually read some of it, even though it's mostly all common sense. I bet you will run into something you did not know that is listed in there.

I'm so-so to VW owners, but....

..you chose the right color.

Yea, I knew the car was loud, but it just seemed abnormal so I figured I'd ask. Thank you. With the manual, I looked through the table of contents and skimmed through the rest specifically looking for the break in information, but wasn't able to find it. That's why I'm asking if there is a specific page I should look for.

Sorry for the twin reference. New to the community, been lurking for a while and see it floating all over the place.

Welcome to the club ;3

and here, use this site and click on the BRZ PDF manual part. You'll be downloading the owner's manual in PDF format. Open it and then press ctrl + F and then you can search "break in" and it'll come up!

Hello fz6r and welcome to the group.....

I see you have met a few of the folks.

Break-in is like with many cars; keep the revs under 4,000 for 1,000 miles; vary the speed.

Yep, the engine is relatively "noisy". Especially the HPFP (High Pressure Fuel Pump) on some of the cars. They say it sounds like "crickets".

Enjoy your new machine ..... and don't hesitate to ask questions.....
