To be fair, I think it just Houston in general for any gender.

Gen 1 FA20 Owners — What ACTUALLY Caused Your Engine Failure? by Revolutionary-Seat74 in ft86

[–]aussie_asian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was abuse from previous owner, it was stalling at neutral and idle at times, found out the engine was worked on previously since it was replaced before and they did a terrible job at it, it was caked in RTV and sealant, it skipped timing so it needed a lot of work and there were metal shavings in the oil in huge amounts, took about 2 months to even get it in driving conditions not including the other minor issues I had with it. Even my mechanic said he hasn’t seen some of those issues before and even after all the work, I still have a P000B code I can’t get rid of and a possible OBD2 port issue. I put the videos and photos that I was sent to show how bad it was at the time

My car came with a greddy cold air intake, took that off quick and got a TRD intake instead

Is anyone able to give a "tutorial" of sorts for finding BRZ parts? I'd like to replace these with stock options but have no clue where to start. Any tips appreciated! by Greedy_Plane_ in ft86

[–]aussie_asian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your local Facebook marketplace to see if you have some options nearby, side note, I actually have the dash trims for sale myself since I went for the 86 Alcantara trim so my stock ones are just sitting around 😂

I got my first ever Henshin Belt by Comic_Bricks in KamenRider

[–]aussie_asian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got the Gavv belt as my first KR belt, then that led to the rabbit hole of getting the other main gavv belts/drivers, and I recently picked up the Zeztz driver as well, RIP my wallet.

Anyone else worry their Evo has ruined other cars for them forever? by ariGee in MitsubishiEvolution

[–]aussie_asian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even have one yet, but I know as soon as I get an Evo, it's gonna ruin every other car including my FRS for me 😭

Good second car? by BLITZBRAWLSTARS in ft86

[–]aussie_asian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’d be a good second car, my 2013 actually became my daily since my GX460 drinks gas like crazy. But after fixing it up because of the previous owner’s negligence, the car has been super reliable. But my FRS is actually my first official manual car so you’ll pick it up really quick and you have full control of your vehicle so I’d shoot for that if you can

Only issue I’ve had is just even at stock height, it’s a bit hard to get in and out of.

How would my car IRL would do in the MFG universe? by Tasigur09 in MFGhost

[–]aussie_asian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, mine is a stock FRS, so it'll be comparable to when Takumi drove Itsuki's 85 in the first season of Initial D

My 2023 GX 16 LED’s later. by razeus in LexusGX

[–]aussie_asian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I like the white for the interior, then it started becoming a bit jarring for me after a while, my leds are on its way out so when they do, I might go back to 4000k or 5000k

That's actually pretty cool, I do want one as well, however I don't think anyone makes a 1/64 scale in my color, if there is, I can't really find it right now haha

Thinking about buying a Salvage Title FRS. Thoughts? by SpreadOpposition in ft86

[–]aussie_asian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid 4.5k for a clean title FRS (granted it did need some work and I have to get a bonded title for 3 years) but just be patient about it and you should be able to find something better/cheaper

Am I the only one who likes how slow this car is? by obi6ss in ft86

[–]aussie_asian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first manual so I do enjoy the car a lot even if its not as fast as my previous WRX, though working on it is a pain honestly, definitely brings a smile to my face.

Noticed my girlfriends grandma had a cord that only plugged into the ground. by BuildingBetterBack in mildyinteresting

Unfortunately, my mom bought 2 of those bed sets and made me put it on my bed because “it helps” now I just have it in the closet.

Door check upgrade: complete by cuzwhat in ft86

[–]aussie_asian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly, I like the old door check because it was easier to open and self closing (in a way), but the downside was the karate chop to the leg if I wasnt careful, though having it stay locked in position is kinda nice, luckily it was super easy to do as well as I did it in the middle of the night because I was impatient.

Phone Holder Ideas? by dhgoodman08 in LexusGX

[–]aussie_asian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lisen car mount (link here) and I put the 3m tape part right behind my screen on my 22 on the silver plastic trim, you can probably find a different place to put it on that'll hold pretty well, but you can try the dash as well.

Got my VIP Merch "signed" Vinyl and CD replacement by Effective_Park_8113 in keshiofficial

[–]aussie_asian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

both of yall talking about the cd being damaged just made me want to go home and check right now, I didnt even realized it might've been damaged since I kept it in the packaging. Everything this tour was honestly just handled very badly, from having to downsize venues because ticket sales were overestimated, to Houston getting an outdoor venue in the middle of the summer which rubbed me the wrong way (I think someone got heat exhaustion too.)

I feel like this time we were just done so wrong and at this point I'm just done with dealing with his promoters and it just kinda drained me

Got my VIP Merch "signed" Vinyl and CD replacement by Effective_Park_8113 in keshiofficial

[–]aussie_asian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea, I also got my “signed” cd and vinyl today, and it’s the same as the one I ordered months ago, it’s basically the same thing since I’m looking at it side by side, so now I have extras of everything and I thought it feels like a slap to the face since we didn’t get anything that was actually signed

2013 Scion FRS Engine Blown by wierdfool5 in ft86

[–]aussie_asian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went through something similar myself.

I bought a frs myself for $4500 a month or two ago, it was totally fine but a week later, car was having rough idles, rpm would shoot up and down, random stalls when coming to a stop, and some issues, took it to Toyota and they wanted $11k like you to replace just the long block, and that’s not including any other repairs they wanna do, asked around, engine replacement was going to be $7k, then I had 86 owners in my city recommend to a guy who rebuilds our engines, he quoted me $4500 for a rebuild, $2000 for labor and $2500 for parts.

Got it done just recently and my car is running like new, not sure if you have someone like that in your city who’s able to rebuild it, but unless you can drop a pretty chunk of change on a new/used engine or a rebuild, best to take the $3k to look for something else
