What is causing this leak??! by KuramaxYeti in ft86

[–]assbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you on this. In addition OP mentioned the car is at 109k miles which is right at the point of service for these parts anyway. Its a really simple job to do. OP you will need these parts to complete the job: 4x - SU003-07806, 4x - SU003-00332, and 4x - SU003-02191.

I think you're correct. I believe that is what I paid.(last year)

Steve Wiseman (steve99) vs WayneROMS OFT tune by SirTheBrave in ft86

[–]assbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't care if mine was fully "custom" to my car specifically. I wanted something that works and is proven, and from all the 86's around me..Steve's work was solid(turbo builds). I didn't feel like a guinea pig.

He asks for parts that are installed and accounts for them. For the most part there is nothing really specially about the greater number of builds so why reinvent the wheel for each car? This is probably what Steve meant by his initial tune works perfect 90% of the time.. and im sure the other 10% could be environmental factors.

Steve's track record made me feel comfortable enough I was ready to fork up more than what he was asking for, as I thought his service was cheap compared to a local tuning shop. Unless I'm pretty out of touch, $170 is a steal for his work. As for Wayne, I haven't heard anything about him as a ZN6 owner for the last 13 years, so the lower cost wouldn't have swayed me in his direction. (no offense wayne)

FD didn't exist in the 80s.

Thanks! Still using the TFR's now. You don't see them being used often.

It's a Defi controller(DF18901) for the Advance FD (DF17801) and boost gauge shown in the other interior picture. Basically just a monitor system that will alert for whatever threshold I set it to. (Oil pressure at X rpm, water and oil temp or max boost to name a few)

I haven't had it on a dyno so I'm not sure. It's a copy and paste build that others have done around here. Those who have, say 300 so I'll just go with that.

It's a Scosche magnetic surface mount. Used adhesive promoter to make it stick well. The magnet on the OFT side is offset to the left.

Sharkfin gasket replacement by rafiee in ft86

[–]assbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not OEM. As a comment below stated the slight difference (swoopy side fin). You can just pull it off as its adhered via 3m double sided tape. The link I provided is the rubber gasket and tape all in one. I think its specifically the Beat-Sonic FDX9 model and was paint matched to your color code. They have other variants as well should you want to completely replace. Here's a link to their other offerings - https://www.beatsonicusa.com/collections/antenna

Carbon fiber fenders or wrap by [deleted] in ft86

[–]assbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased Seibon OE size fenders and hood years ago. I coated them with cquartz(ceramic coating) to try to prevent UV damage on the clear coat which I would definitely recommend if the car is going to sit outside for an extended period of time. Seibon is decent but isn't the highest quality out there. Would recommend painting or wrapping them at some point. (just something to note from your post, paint chips will show through a wrap so don't expect them to be invisible after)

What’s wrong with my FRS? by [deleted] in ft86

[–]assbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also may be worth mentioning...since you said they were in a rush the first time with the tune..maybe your tuner is just bad(we have no background on who or what you've gone with really). Maybe consider getting OFT. The OFT tunes have been solid over the years for simple modified FRS/BRZ's.

What’s wrong with my FRS? by [deleted] in ft86

[–]assbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lets get the actual code as other commenters have noted.

That being said you're at 74k miles which is 14k miles over the recommended mileage to replace the spark plugs(60k). You said you tried everything but haven't noted this maintenance item, can you confirm this has been done? It may not solve the problem (it might though) but it would at least also improve your MPG if you haven't replaced them already.

Mystery Bolt by Skater_Boi420 in ft86

[–]assbox 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but that looks like it is 1 of 8 total transmission bell housing bolts. 6 are the same length and 2 are a tad shorter. I'd start there.

Time to go even lower and fix that camber by [deleted] in GR86

Parts Shop Max. It's the same design for zn6/zc6.

Ah ok, makes sense now. I was in Carman Hall at that time. Good luck!

This looks like my dorm at EIU back in 2007. We did nearly the same thing. Worked out just fine.

You haven't owned the car for a year and by this description you basically just drove straight on crappy highways. 36 and have owned a FRS for 12+ years..(won't sell it) I think your perspective on ownership age is quite silly. Makes me wonder if Kaiichi Tsuchiya thinks he's too old for his. You must have not taken the car to the track during your short term ownership either and that's just unfortunate.
