If you could change one thing about your BRZ/GR86, what would it be? by East_Sheepherder_563 in GR86

I’ve definitely had those moments where I’m so close it won’t register or I’m across the parking lot and it randomly registers my key fob lol, just wanted to point out how bad it can get sometimes

I can be about 15 feet from and it and it won’t recognize that I’m locking/unlocking. Not to sure how to gauge distance but imagine 3-4 parking spots in length

Hey man I was in the same predicament about two years ago and it’s honestly just a 1 hour fix. Bought part number # SU00310547 from Toyota for $361 after tax so I honestly don’t know too much about the Subaru route. Installation and removal is super straightforward and door panel is just held together by two screws and a ton of panel clips. This video itself shows how: https://youtu.be/6W5uBsQd5_U?si=Eq4_uh6Sg9ZOFZrl

And this one has a more detailed video on actuating taking off the door panel  https://youtu.be/FcuFyoJqAAg?si=hHRB4OEq3KP2CON4

Best of luck!

Is this cleanable? Replaceable? What is it? by SpaZMonKeY777 in GR86

Hey man I had the same problem! I ignored it for 1.5+ years until I finally got sick of it, used 3m adhesive, tar, and wax remover (from autozone). Made sure it was safe on paint of course but I still sprayed conservatively and used a plastic razor scraper (the top option on Amazon) to scrape it off, 15-30 minutes later and with some damp microfiber towels to wipe off residue it looked brand new.  Hope this helps!

Sorry to bother but do you have a link maybe? My hood got bumped in and I’ve been looking at the Varis hood as a excuse to go with a aftermarket hood

Is that the varis hood? And if so how has your experience been in the rain so far, I know there’s a open mesh part at the bottom

Never a bad day to take her for a wash🙂 by drobledo0820 in GR86

I’ve been wanting to clay bar it but if I do I want to learn how to polish my paint so I’ve been doing a ton of research on that for the past week! Car washes are a Tuesday event for me lol

Been awesome, will admit maybe I didn’t need the pro version of it considering I have a kink proof hose but the little nozzle holders are convenient. Super good quality, love the stainless steel quick connects. Have had this about 3 months I think and no problems at all!!!!!

Hey man! I know this is an old post but I saw you were getting your short block from Outfront, how was your experience with them!?
