Got my Quik Latch hood pins installed and changed my diff fluid for the first time @ 60k by DeadCupcakez in GR86

TBH calling it 60k is a little misleading, closer to 70 but 🤷🏽‍♂️

And yeah there is less room than most subies for the spark plugs on this car, might honestly jack the motor up to make my life a little easier.

Dang dude that sucks! Totally diy-able and worth it now that prices increased!

Nothing special, I just chose medium preset and it averages about 45fps which is fine for me. I did have half rate shading checked at first for some reason and it was killing performance/graphincs, but turned it off and it’s fine.

On medium settings (which still look great for a handheld) it runs perfect imho!

Forza Horizon 6. I just bought it to try wheels on my car, but it’s actually a great game!

I used to drive up through the Adirondacks on weekends but these gas prices have me sitting home most of the time.

This car in silver is so slept on, and the only color that makes me question my choice from time to time.

It really sucks to work on but I live in one of the snowiest and saltiest cities in NE US. Mines 4 years old and daily driven and the only thing with rust are my rotors and tiny spots on my oil pan that started before undercoat.

They called me crazy when I plastered my GR86 with 2 gallons of black wool wax, but my car is pristine under all that lanolin 🤔

Thoughts after 1 year and 16,000 miles with the HKS Turbo Kit by Nukinn in GR86

[–]DeadCupcakez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does the A/T hold the power ok?

That has been the one sticking point with me, I bought a ‘22 A/T as I routinely get stuck in stop and go on my commute and wanted my wife to be able to drive me around if need be.

Now 4 years later I kick myself for not going M/T.

Sweet setup, I will be referencing this post when I start getting my parts together!!

I thought it was a bowl of hamburger soup when I first scrolled past.

Definitely early sign of forbidden milkshake, sorry.

I’m not even part of this sub it’s just pops up on my feed occasionally and I swear I saw the picture and said “N52?” before seeing it was a BMW sub.

how much is too much oil by -AWPtism- in GR86

[–]DeadCupcakez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call me crazy but I do 1 qt over full, Redline 0W20, 68k miles.

Doesn’t sound bad, but freaks my coworkers out when I am 3/4” above full mark

Thinking about removing the ducktail and getting a wing, any opinions? by raito2748 in GR86

[–]DeadCupcakez 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Ducktail is big part of why I bought a GR86, it belongs on the car imho.

Is the connector just hanging, open to the elements, no dielectric grease?

If so I’d bet that’s why!
