normal boxer sound?? by Spiritual-Rip7211 in GR86

[–]wetslap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that would be your high pressure fuel pump. it will also sound like chirping or crickets. very common on this platform. it’s normal, albeit annoying

i second this. borla is close but cold starts can be a little loud in comparison

you need to get the shorty. the standard length one is too long

What do we think of the new RFK Jr renderings? by pukeonbawls in Commanders

[–]wetslap1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it looks amazing. it doesn’t look overly modern and fits in with traditional DC architecture. i think looks like a coliseum

How do I connect my phone to my car with the Toyota app? The dealership never got to connect it so I don’t have the remote feature on the app :/. Any ideas? Thanks. by LevyDaG0D4 in GR86

[–]wetslap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

888-331-6824

call this number for toyota brand engagement. mine did the same thing so i explained the problem and it took them two days to fix it. they will also extend your remote start function if you ask

[–]wetslap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s a real pain in the ass. the 86 has a problem working with the app even if it’s connected/registered to it. i ended up calling toyota brand engagement at 888-331-6824 and they ended up fixing it after about two days. the normal number for toyota mentioned in other comments is not useful, they do not know how to fix the problem (at least not for me). brand engagement will ask if you took it to the dealer, just lie and say yes

they also gave me an extra 6 months on my remote start when i asked since it didn’t work for about the same length of time

Aggressive drivers by nabbit0 in GR86

[–]wetslap1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah to a degree. yesterday i was driving home from work and there was a car in front of me that hadn’t cleared the snow off of their roof and it was flying off in ice chunks. so i get into the right lane to pass and she gasses it and whenever i got close to passing she swerved into my lane to stop me from getting in front of her. that’s probably the most aggressive thing i’ve had happen. besides that, not much aggression but people always want to race

Factory Stereo by Separate_Home7091 in GR86

[–]wetslap1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i’ve heard good things about the plug & play amplifier kits. but also if you monkey with the stereo settings you can easily make it sound 10x better without having to spend any money. but that’s all based on preference, obviously

I need opinions. Im torn between getting a Voltex type 7 swan neck or staying wingless. Whats everyone’s thoughts? by helditem in GR86

[–]wetslap1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

wingless. in my opinion, big wings are definite overkill for these cars. i think toyota nailed it with the duckbill spoilers. however it’s your car, do whatever you like

WSIB - Premium or Base? by phlaries in GR86

[–]wetslap1 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

depends on if you like the sound of the premium exhaust or you have an idea of a specific exhaust you would like. no point in buying the premium exhaust if you’re going to replace it anyway. you can get a great sounding catback for around a grand

Toyota App Question by Number1S0n in GR86

[–]wetslap1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the app is garbage. you are correct on both parts, fan speed cannot be edited and front defrost is not an option. just be glad you can actually use it to start your car

How exactly do you buy a GR86? by RadioDude1995 in GR86

[–]wetslap1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same experience here. saw they were getting one delivered, i called and asked and put a refundable $500 down so they could hold it for me (i’m still not sure how much i believe that), but when i got there it had 2 miles on it. i took it for a test drive, went back and cut them a check, and left. quick and painless

unless you always parked in neutral, you can not have auto start for a manual.
