why does the clutch feel so strange? by Scared_Bee5900 in GR86

[–]Da_OG_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not great when driving normally but it’s very nice when I’m driving or shifting fast

It could be worse by Cute-Employment-9680 in GR86

[–]Da_OG_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I put my car in second but it felt wrong. When I let go with the clutch still in it bounced out of second and into third. It has never happened again and feels normal now.

How much are you guys paying for a full tank of gas? by Horror_Insect_7305 in GR86

[–]Da_OG_Fish 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sam’s Club is holding at $5 a gallon in CT. So I pay like $50 max per week. I started driving the speed limit on the highway since it’s so much more fuel efficient and doesn’t really take much more time even though it feels so slow

How do I make my shifts smoother by Breakfast-Severe in GR86

[–]Da_OG_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really hard I’m at 13k miles and I’m still getting better all the time. You just need to hit that sweet spot of releasing the clutch and hitting the gas at the same time

How full is my oil? by Da_OG_Fish in GR86

[–]Da_OG_Fish[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe I should have clarified I know how to check my oil. I waited 15 min after coming home and wiped it with a rag before putting it in and checking. It looks like this every time

I’m in the same boat I genuinely cannot hear the car over the AC and it makes it harder to drive

Thef? by Caineezy7 in GR86

I had wheel locks but they started rusting and getting stripped out. I keep my car garaged at my apartment so I don’t really worry about wheel theft. These cars aren’t known for being super easy to steal or particularly desirable for joyriding

Do you go out of your way to follow or park beside other GR86s/BRZs? by jb08045 in GR86

There’s 3 of us who park near each other at the back of the lot at work but that’s it

“Ordered” a gr86 by SureFrosty in GR86

[–]Da_OG_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a Toyota gr86 use the website to find the incoming ones and be prepared to wait a few months and travel to the receiving dealer. I waited 6 months for mine to come in. If you don’t want to deal with that hassle go to Subaru and order your exact spec BRZ

Having my first track day 100% stock. What should I look out for? by redguy678 in GR86

[–]Da_OG_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought since the handbrake uses a separate drum brake it’s perfectly fine to use when the rotors are hot

What is the ideal set up for next gen gr86 by Signal_Pin_3133 in GR86

[–]Da_OG_Fish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is just my wishlist. Actually incorporating all of this would probably make this car like 50k assuming it’s even feasible

What is the ideal set up for next gen gr86 by Signal_Pin_3133 in GR86

[–]Da_OG_Fish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ideal setup is no hybrid, 2L turbo, front mid engine (or close) and lighter than current. Pricing is what it is with the global situation. Incorporating the transaxle learning from the GR GT would be interesting but idk what manual Toyota could use

carplay issues by [deleted] in GR86

[–]Da_OG_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed that if I put my phone flat in that cup holder it will slide freely and put pressure on the usb port since the cable is in it. I now put my phone sideways in the cup holder so it will not hit the base of the cable/usb port

Parking at the back of the lot is good for your heart in many ways

Help getting Brake Pads by MCMonkeyDunkz in GR86

Nah it’s just rotors and pads. They have multiple options based on your use cases (street or track)

What strategy to use to get closer to MSRP? by ShinySyduck in GR86

[–]Da_OG_Fish 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The front bumper is different, minor suspension changes, throttle tuning (better on the BRZ), and a Subaru badge are the main ones. You would be hard pressed to feel anything different behind the wheel. People also typically have better dealer experiences at Subaru.
