GT86 FRS BRZ Youtube Content Recommendations Wanted

Hi all, looking for some decent recommendations for GT86/FRS/BRZ content on youtube, if you are following any recent or quality older builds post them up in here.

I have a couple:

Might Car Mods - BRZ Project, this was a good watch especially when they started to appreciate the platform - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...iy0PdsyCOdrp8i

TJ Hunt - I know he is pretty marmite, but I like keeping up to date with his channel even if the BRZ features less on there now: https://www.youtube.com/c/TjHunt28/featured

B is for Build, he has rebuild a crash damaged one then done an engine swap series, not watched all of them yet:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis..._WDgj9AWCah8PE

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...sVhkijycuzEPmP

Cant miss my own channel, plenty of BRZ/86/FRS how to videos, project updates etc:

Chris Harris has a couple good vids with the 86. The one comparing it to the 370z and a Cayman is one of my favorites. Just a review, not a build

TJ Hunt and B is for Build ?

Speed Academy did two different builds on the same car showing their testing in between. They first built it for the Targa Newfoundland and competed. Then they boosted it and redid the car and ran the Ontario 1500 which had then do 5 TT's and 5 autox's at 5 different locations in a week.

Tyler Tran is a very good channel. Lesser known by far than these other channels mentioned, but he makes good quality stuff. He has been on a hiatus for over a month now though.

Tyler posted a video saying he was gonna stop making videos (about 1.5 month ago), because it was getting costly and time consuming for him. I really enjoyed his content too, and his car actually inspired some of my current mods (got a 10 series too).

Second savagegeese. Honestly one of the best car review channels on youtube. I highly suggest you subscribe to him. He makes in-depth, independent, high quality videos. He deserves more subs and views, and I don't say that lightly.

Speed Academy gets my sole vote. I love their restoration work, I can relate to it and it's inspiring to see
