It didn’t fit at first but I spent the day figuring out how to make it work.

Yes if you are familiar with this exhaust it is quite loud. I also live in California which is pretty well known for state reffing for these kind of things.

The cold start honestly sounds awful (like a loud wet fart) but once I’m on the road I absolutely love it. I rarely have to commute far much or at all since I work from home, but I’d imagine long drives with this thing on would get annoying.

Not sure if I should just put the stock exhaust back on, it’s kinda hard to go back at this point :/

Anyone here have this same exhaust in Cali?

Hi everyone, I’m going to be in the market for a car next year and I’m heavily considering the BRZ because I’ve wanted to get a manual car for a long time. This is going to be my first car purchase as I have been using parent’s car until I can afford my own, so I won’t have a crazy budget (most I’m willing to pay is around $22k).

Obviously this budget makes it hard for me to get a second gen at least the way the market is right now. But, a lot of the first gen’s for sale are really high mileage or highly modified, and it seems the second gen is better in every way. So I was wondering, do I bite the bullet and try to get a second gen for a higher upfront price or will I be okay getting a first gen?

Hi I'm quite new here. I just wanna ask the 2027 owners here if the triple camera eyesight really blocks some view and provides new blindspots for the car? Can you also send some photos here for reference? Thank you. I'm just trying to decide if I would buy the 2027 or the older models.

Let me just start with saying this set up looks so nice and sounds amazing. We retained the factory GR Performance exhaust and added a JDL ultra quiet front pipe. The main thing I wanted to say though is when we pulled the oil pan we found rtv in the pickup that was enough to cover a US quarter which was a lot more than I thought. It was visibly covering the pick up.

I know people are always saying it’s overblown but it’s always easy to think that until it happens to you. Even more this is a ‘24 and it was reported that it was “fixed” with this year. 20k miles with track days sprinkled in and that much was found. There’s so much fear mongering in this sub and I really don’t want to add to it but just thought I would share some discoveries I found and my experience

gotta pay respects to the OG <3

Just got my 2026 gr86 a few weeks ago and I think I scraped the bottom this last weekend. It’s on the right side under the passenger door.

Has anyone else had smth similar? Should I worry about it?

My plan is to have Toyota check it out at 1k miles during my oil change.
Any help is appreciated!

Hey everyone, I've been really interested in buying a 2027 GR86, especially since it's been said that the throttle will be more linear.
I've heard a few people say that the throttle will be similar to the ZD8 BRZ's more linear throttle in comparison to other GR86's more sensitive throttle
Are there any 2027 GR86 owners that can speak on how different the throttle is, if at all?

I’m planning on getting a new Premium MT GR86 later this year, and I’ve narrowed my color choices down to Halo and Pavement. The problem is, I’m pretty torn between the two. They both look incredible in their own ways, which makes the decision that much harder.

I’m drawn to Halo because it really makes the car’s body lines stand out, the interior shouldn’t get as hot in the SoCal sun compared to a darker color, and it has a classy look to it. I also like that swirl marks tend to be less noticeable on lighter paint, although I still plan on taking proper care of it and hand washing it.

On the other hand, I love Pavement because it gives the car more of that JDM look, and the darker color blends in with the panel gaps a bit better, making the overall design look slightly more cohesive. Plus, since it’s not a premium color, I’d save a little money, which is always a nice bonus.

Honestly, after typing all this out, I think it’s becoming a little more apparent to me which way I’m leaning, but I’d still love to hear what you guys think before making a final decision. If you own either color, I’d especially love to see some pictures in the comments. Seeing how they look in different lighting really helps!

I’ve always wanted a GR86 and finally make enough money to comfortably afford one. My commute is roughly 140 miles round trip, 3–4 days a week, mostly highway driving. For those who daily drive theirs, how is it in terms of comfort, reliability, road noise, fuel economy, and maintenance? Especially for those putting higher mileage on them. Would you recommend it as a daily with that kind of commute, or would I be better off keeping it as a weekend car?

Unfortunately, I'll be selling my GR86. I have spine surgery coming up, and between the recovery and limited mobility afterwards, I won't be able to drive a manual for a long time....or possibly ever again. What would fair asking price be for this spec? I've looked for comparison, but can't find something with similar spec and mileage. All the 86s with this spec around me are rebuilt or salvaged with 20k+ miles. Can't seem to find a fair comparable

2024 GR86 Premium, Neptune Blue 2.0, 6-speed manual
1 owner, clean title
~7k miles
Oil change every 3k miles
No issues or exterior/interior damage ofc

Located in Dallas. Looking for a realistic price range I should be expecting. Extensive parts list, but I understand parts don't add value.

All the Toyota’s!! And a single speed :-)

Jun Auto kit is amazing. Fit and finish is perfect. Even the directions in Japanese were great. Now I just need the EVS Tuning Silver Mirrors and Kondo Engineering Carbon Hood.

Shoutout to Michigan 86!

Live in the northeast us.

My gr86 is my second car, but I don’t have a garage and have to take it out occasionally to keep it running properly / critters out.

Is it worth undercoating? Or do the cons outweigh the pros of potential issues such as trapped moisture, improper application concerns or potential warranty issues?

I plan on keeping the car for 10+ years.

I have a 2026 gr86 with a K&N Intake and a Borla ATAK exhaust. I love the way it sounds now but am looking for more sound. I get nice pops even without a tune and just the exhaust so far. I'm looking at getting UEL headers but want some recommendations that will amplify my sound so far. Do you guys have any suggestions? I want to preserve the pops I get already. I live in VA, but am AD military so my car is registered In NJ. I was thinking of going catted, just so I can pass emissions, and also would love some HP gain. Just looking for suggestions and opinions/help with this decision. I’ll leave a video of my current exhaust sound as well.

I have a 2023 BRZ Limited with the 8-speaker system. I'm mainly looking for clearer vocals. Does anyone know of good dash midrange/coaxial replacements for my BRZ Limited that don't need any custom spacers and only require little or no trimming?

I was looking at the Hertz DCX 87.3. Has anyone installed these in a 2nd-gen BRZ Limited/tS or GR86 Premium? If so, did they bolt into the factory midrange location directly, or did you need a spacer/bracket or trimming?

I'm fine with using a simple plug-in harness. I just want to avoid any custom adapters.

Found this broken clip in my cupholder today. Just recently took my car in for an oil change, new tires, and a wash (all different places) so I'm not sure which one did it.

Does anyone know where it might have come from?

My brainchild after owning the Aeroflow Dynamics Lip and the Sayber Designs Lip. The AFD had a simple clean look and decent clearance but the 3 piece always looked cheap to me. I loved how the Sayber Designs lip molded to the brz bumper but it dropped too low and I was dragging it out of every driveway on my daily drive. This is basically a hybrid of everything I liked from each. Made from the frame of the ikon Motorsport v4 lip and combined with sheets of abs and acm I had lying around. Some body filler, a lot of shaping/sanding, paint and it’s finally finished.
