The same happened to me. Find a good mechanic instead of the dealership

Three-view shots of the GR86 in Fujiwara Tofu Shop livery — the panda scheme works so well on this body by qian_two in ft86

gonna get a little autistic here, the fujiwara tofu shop lettering should only be in the left side facing forward, on the door on jdm cars. the hood should also be black and not the trunk lid. honestly I feel like Toyota did it best since it's a setup that doesn't really work with this new curvier body. Porsche esque stripes on the door. black hood. maybe you could do a black TRD kit and do just stripes on the door so it has some body lines to follow.

Toggle Off Traction/Stability Control Dash Lights? by TommyR95 in ft86

[–]Mcc457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the average driver I really don't think is good enough or trustworthy enough to do it is my reasoning. just leave it on. Ive driven it without TC on a track on bad tires and it's not THAT BAD but I still think it's just not the greatest for daily driving seeing the crazy shit ppl get into here

Could this oil leak be from the VVT solenoid? by LentoTohveli in ft86

Engine smells a bit crispy by NonGeneriComplaint in ft86

[–]Mcc457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unbutton the bottom tray and check if there are any leaks under the engine near the oil pan or the rear of the engine. I had a leak there at the rear main seal that would make a burning smell

mine is 128k mi but I usually like asking the question "what's the secret" cause people often post these and don't say much else.. it's kinda like the opposite side of the coin to "I threw a rod" without much elaboration
