FT86 wiki
I noticed over the last few months that a lot of the same questions get asked again and again on the forums. I also wanted a better answer to give new owners looking for a simple answer that's more than just "search the forums" which often contains outdated or outright incorrect information.
So that said I started putting together an FT86 wiki of all the platform's information on Wikia. It's very sparse still, because I've only just started. I'm going to need a lot of help from the community to add to and format it. I ask for all of your help, even if it's something as simple as checking my grammar or adding pics and videos (both of which are desperately needed). I would like to document every piece of technical and DIY information available to us. http://ft86.wikia.com/ |

Great idea! Would make life much easier for some of us.
The only problem is getting anybody to agree on what the "facts" are. There is a multi page thread with massive, argumentative, and totally confusing posts on the subject of tire air pressure alone and that should be a pretty straight forward topic. It gets so bad sometimes that I just either give up and start my own research from scratch or just pick a side and hope I choose the right one. I will be glad to assist in whatever way I can. |

This is an outstanding idea. I just took a look at the page, and it's a great start.
My only suggestion would be to add an FR-S/BRZ drinking game where every time you see any variation on the phrase or idea, "That's normal," you have to take a shot. |

In terms of things like tire pressure it IS straightforward and the factory info takes priority over self described "experts" that haven't even owned a car in real life, let alone an 86.
That's the thing though. These forums are 60% bullshit, 20% drama, and 20% valid info, and you have to sort through everything to get the little egg of truth you're looking for. |

Unfortunately many of the things talked about are "normal" (got any Jagger?) just people don't want to believe it! |
