Just Bought a FR-S! Happy to be a part of this - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Bought my first 86 this week!, 2015 fr-s in halo. Happy to be part of the team. So far I must say i love the car. My shifting is still off being that before i bought this car i barely drove stick shift. Hopefully in time it will be better. Just wanted to get advice from everyone that owns an 86 and how you guys take care of your car in terms of detailing, car washes, etc. Figure i start a form that you guys could list what type of products you use for your 86 from interior to waxing and how often everyone uses that product on their car. So far i waxed it with Lucas Spray on wax and havent touched anything else. Thanks guys!

since you just got it
i HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend getting an Opti Coat done ASAP or clear bra the car!
i wish i did this when i first got my car

the paint is so delicate

^agree. The stock paint sucks! Soon you will find many rock chips in the front bumper if you don't get any protection

One of the first things we did when we got our car is tinting the windows and getting it opticoated.
After that reverse camera, then dash cam.

No plan in tuning the car. Next maybe sound deadening the doors to prevent speaker rattle at louder volume.

what year is your car??

i have Apline Type r's in the doors and tweeters up top, 10" sub in the back,
no sound deadening at all, car does not rattle,

only thing i found was bye the rear deck lid was a little rattly

2014 build, it might be the speakers installation itself.
Normal volume is okay, but if you start cranking the volume up, some bassy tunes will make it buzz.
