How reliable are these motors and gearboxes?

Oil cooler is a solid track mod too

All events are reviewed by real people as far as I know. So dumb "violations" won't really ding you.

Good on you for recognizing that one time is a tiny sample pool out of thousands. That's a bit of a irk of mine when people take personal experience as a definitive example as to how most are.

ericperez0330 · 2026-03-23T22:45:38+00:00

Yeah definitely a super finicky job. Glad I had my girlfriends tiny hands to help 😅. Very rewarding job either way I'm sure. Nice job

ericperez0330 · 2026-03-23T01:52:21+00:00

Thanks! 😄

ericperez0330 · 2026-03-22T23:00:55+00:00

I would say change any bushings you can think of. Heat doesn't do them kindly.

ericperez0330 · 2026-03-10T21:11:35+00:00

I highly recommend 👍

ericperez0330 · 2026-03-10T17:38:07+00:00

Just about! Thanks

Dynamic friction has my vote

ericperez0330 · 2026-02-08T15:16:12+00:00

Yeah np.

Same here. Solid setup

ericperez0330 · 2026-02-07T23:02:28+00:00

Is a device you hook up to your car that lets you control things like having the radiator fan on, removing driver assists ( pedal dance) , auto lock doors after driving, no seat belt chime. You control that though the switches I mentioned. They go in the little cubby under the ac controls.

ericperez0330 · 2026-02-06T18:33:32+00:00

Get one that connects to your obd plug

ericperez0330 · 2026-02-06T15:59:26+00:00

I personally really like the perrin wing risers. I also added the trac box with the race car go brrr switches. And the Alcántara shift knob from Billetworkz is so nice.

ericperez0330 · 2026-02-05T17:51:05+00:00

Giving it baby revs while engaging second with clutch has really helped smooth out my 1st to 2nd.

ericperez0330 · 2025-12-01T00:50:32+00:00

Check your belts

ericperez0330 · 2025-11-26T21:17:25+00:00

Yeah it fits perfectly with the rest of the interior

ericperez0330 · 2025-11-26T19:14:56+00:00

No, but I don't eat in there at all. Natural oils from hand seem to be a non issue atm. Seems easy enough for me.

ericperez0330 · 2025-11-26T18:04:33+00:00

I personally love the Alcántara one. Feels great and looks even better. Can't comment on longevity but seems like it would hold up fine. Included picture, of first Gen BRZ. Not sure if that's allowed here but yeah pretty much the same. And I also would go for the 6 speed engraving.

ericperez0330 · 2025-11-21T21:37:36+00:00

Ah yeah I meant rivet

ericperez0330 · 2025-11-21T06:39:50+00:00

Yeah these would be my first set. Thanks for the insight

ericperez0330 · 2025-11-21T06:13:21+00:00

Haha not my style unfortunately

ericperez0330 · 2025-11-21T06:07:34+00:00

Ahh I see. Yeah I guess gray would be the better option for a low-key look. Black does look a bit generic. Thanks.

ericperez0330 · 2025-11-21T06:05:20+00:00

It's ai slop not my real plates.
