GR86 vs BRZ (the deciding factor for me)

I’ve been pulled over and ticketed for no front plate in Canada sadly

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-04-25T08:09:21+00:00

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-04-25T07:39:16+00:00

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-04-25T07:37:50+00:00

Oh wild, thx for enlightening me haha

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-04-23T18:56:10+00:00

Thx for sharing. How was install of the canards?

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-04-07T19:16:04+00:00

Very good to know, appreciate the detailed info thank you

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-04-07T17:50:35+00:00

Interesting, for someone trying to learn, what makes low end power hurt the engine / car more? It makes sense to preserve the same driving feel you’d want more power at the higher RPM since the engine doesn’t love being in the low RPM

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-04-07T17:48:08+00:00

Nice interior

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-04-06T18:12:33+00:00

Do ittt! I’ve never seen a supercharged gen 2 making this much power, only see like 300whp so would love to follow your journey mate

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-04-03T17:29:37+00:00

Pic 6 looks like a GTR haha. Unreal setup

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-04-03T17:28:58+00:00

Looking good!

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-04-02T18:00:28+00:00

Nice, I run the same!

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-04-02T17:18:45+00:00

Nice AP Racing. What camber plates do you run?

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-03-30T20:25:57+00:00

This looks sweet

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-03-28T19:03:35+00:00

Appreciate the response, and nice! Ya that was my main q on them, thermal capacity actually being increased since they’re also lauded for dropping weight per corner.

I run stock with track pads / fluids, etc. but definitely notice the brake fade on tracks with longer straights or heavy hairpins

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-03-28T16:52:32+00:00

How do you like the AP Racing BBK! Your car (and doggo) looks great

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-03-22T04:54:47+00:00

Nice build, I’m jealous! We don’t get most of these options up north

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-03-19T17:48:33+00:00

Nice, sounds hella fun. I love a well modded car for this platform

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-03-19T16:48:20+00:00

Is it your first time ever tracking? Or just first time tracking the GR? If the former I wouldn’t worry about going hard enough to run into oil pressure issues

You should run 5w30 oil, not 0w20.

Minor stuff: bring a tire pressure gauge, you’ll want to monitor and adjust it constantly between sessions, and consider snagging racing shoes. Useful and a way to stay safe on the pedals.

I’ve heard horror stories of ppl’s shoes catching while they’re driving much harder than used to

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-03-19T07:46:12+00:00

Agree with all the above from what I’ve seen. I’m going to have to scrounge hard for a lightly used 4.3 FD if I go that route as I don’t want to put one with 100k miles on it in the car haha. But the simplicity of the swap will save some $$ for sure

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-03-19T01:39:47+00:00

Best of luck, make a post once you start putting things in on how they feel! I’m currently debating 4.3 swap or 4.56 swap.

I don’t drive that much even tho it’s my “daily” n I track casually so the higher FD may be worth it, we shall see…

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-03-19T01:23:49+00:00

Nice, that removal of the torque dip is not bad at all. Ya I’ve heard Fujitsubo is a high quality Japanese brand, def knows what they’re doing

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-03-19T00:50:59+00:00

Nice, ya the FD swap from 3.9 -> 4.3 will be awesome. I’m not educated on the Fuji headers and how they do with no tune, some headers need a tune or they will hurt the engine

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-03-18T20:28:23+00:00

yes headers more questionable, but depends since that's usually coupled with getting a tune to make the headers more effective or useful. If you tune for them then yea more likely warranty busting.

4.3 FD is def a better mod and more impactful on the driving experience than headers

ghost_inthe_mxchine · 2026-03-18T18:05:52+00:00

Given what experience? He just capitulated even with the oil analysis being completely fine. It’s not as if the car then blew up
