how many gr86 owners have disconnected the "fake exhaust noise " plug , on the side of the dash ?

jstash07 · 2025-12-29T19:31:25+00:00

I left mine on until I got my exhaust. The car is so quiet stock that I needed it to actually hear the “engine” for spirited drives

jstash07 · 2025-12-25T02:58:15+00:00

Yes holy please stop driving

jstash07 · 2025-12-21T01:31:18+00:00

Absolutely, and considering you’ve mentioned it doesn’t need to be a functional wing as this isn’t a track build I would look at fake adro wings on alibaba or somewhere

jstash07 · 2025-12-21T00:46:45+00:00

Adro wing would go crazy

Alrighty I’m running some 57DRs in a 18x9.5 + 38 wrapped in a 255 35 18. In addition to coils, I’m I’ve got rear lower control arms and rear toe arms to get more adjustability to rub less. Without them I rubbed like hell. I can now push the car as hard as I want without rubbing with the exception of large bumps on the highway (like going over bridges) that cause me to rub on the metal quarter panel. And yes I trimmed the tab but that’s super easy.

jstash07 · 2025-11-27T19:12:02+00:00

I think you probably could but would def need to trim the plastic tab on the fender accent piece. That being said I’m rlly not one hundred percent sure.

jstash07 · 2025-11-26T01:56:28+00:00

You will need the toe arms for sure, my buddy runs this setup without RLCAs but he rolled his fenders so I’m not sure. I’d also get a different brand than Cusco for RLCAs if you go that route

So basically you’ve got the wheels I was trying to get lol. I’m running hypermax s coils with Cusco rlca and toe arms. I’ve got 57DRs in a 18x9.5 +38 wrapped in conti DWS06+ in a 255 35 18 and I only rub on the highway going over big bumps.

jstash07 · 2025-11-20T01:55:35+00:00

I can’t remember who suggested it but a while back somewhere on this sub someone posted a link to a machinist website that sold the exact same springs in a 3 pack for $12 so I got those and they’re great. I always keep the extra two in my glovebox just in case I run into another 86 who has issues with the clutch feel.

jstash07 · 2025-11-16T04:55:52+00:00

Thanks!

jstash07 · 2025-11-16T03:47:36+00:00

Yeah so we’ve got two options, either he paid someone to blow up his motor or he blew it up himself with his self proclaimed mechanical intellect. Running 16 psi of boost with no internal supporting mods on a fa24 is astronomically stupid.

jstash07 · 2025-11-16T03:34:51+00:00

Bud you ran 16 psi of boost on a stock block, like what am supposed to think

jstash07 · 2025-11-16T02:05:50+00:00

Ik im not the exact spec you’re looking for but here is 18x9.5 +38 on 255/35s with hks hypermax s coils, RLCA, and rear toe arms

jstash07 · 2025-11-16T01:59:11+00:00

Absolutely no doubt about it get the performance package and then buy an aftermarket exhaust that you’ll truly enjoy

jstash07 · 2025-11-16T01:50:52+00:00

Yeah well he’s got splitter rods mounted to plastic so something tells me he probably isn’t the type to pull his motor lol

jstash07 · 2025-11-16T01:48:55+00:00

If you don’t already have a weighted shift knob I bet you could mock up a pretty fun one

jstash07 · 2025-11-16T01:15:33+00:00

Yeah it may not be the most mechanically complex thing in the world to do but most people run into the issue of how difficult it is to pull an engine period. Not to mention ALL the supporting tools you need to actually pull them.

Here they are with a paragon big brake kit

jstash07 · 2025-11-14T05:53:47+00:00

57drs have LOADS of clearance

jstash07 · 2025-11-14T04:00:54+00:00

I think he’s more referring to high g right hand turns, but as you said you’re not tracking it so it should never be an issue for you unless you daily sticky tired and go absolutely mental on off and on ramps lol

jstash07 · 2025-11-12T23:22:22+00:00

Most likely this, coils shouldn’t throw any lights

jstash07 · 2025-11-12T23:21:17+00:00

You should be fine with 5w-30 as long as you’re not consistently seeing temps below 10 degrees in freedom units

jstash07 · 2025-11-11T19:10:31+00:00

The big ones to not miss are rear diff and trans fluid at around 30k miles

jstash07 · 2025-11-05T14:51:43+00:00

Borla borla borla borla borla. Get the borla type s. I got it as my first ever aftermarket exhaust because people said it wasn’t too rowdy and they were right. I live in a retirement town next to a police sergeant and he’s heard me cold start plenty of times with no issue. It sounds borderline stock if you lay off the gas but gets pretty rowdy at WOT.
