Ordered the mirrors because my old car is a Fiesta that in Europe has beautiful wide angle mirrors. I would also buy a center console cover if you had an option for a base model without a hole for heated seats controls.
You should spray paint that little buddy. Awesome vids as always Kevin, I wish you had a Supra because it will probably be my next one and nobody shows every mods and every installation as you do! Such great quality and work
Yo Kevin, I hugely appreciate this upload. This video had tons of stuff I want to do to my 86, and I think you should install that carbon fiber hood too: it looks sick!
Awesome video! Something I gotta mention, being a AWE track edition owner videos do NOT do some of this higher end exhausts justice. When I first started it up, I was freaking mind blown. APEXi is also insane, my buddy has it installed and every person turns their head on the street lol
Thank you for giving us such high-quality videos. I love how detailed your explanations and how-to's are! Keep up the awesome work. P.S.- You make me add something to my "Want to Buy" list with every video😂
I know allot of people who own a gr86 don’t mind the cabin being dark when your driving at night but I like to have some interior lighting on. Kevin please make a video on symphony lighting install for the GR 🙏
Are all these parts compatible with the 22 BRZ as well? For some parts like the HKS oil cooler and cold air intake its says Toyota 86 on the website. I know they’re twin cars just wanted to see if you knew for sure it works on both vehicles. Awesome video as always Kevin love your help and advice as always!!
just found out about your channel. great content & quality! instant like and now subscribed! i have a 99 Miata with hardtop but have thought about getting a BRZ/GT86 instead
Hey Kevin, wondering if you know how to prop back in the tow ring panel on the front grill? Mine popped out of nowhere one day and is sticking out like a sore thumb
hey man! love the content you put out! hopefully one day i will be trying to get a GT86 or maybe even a GR86 in the future. I would like to ask tho on what camera you use to film your content?
I know this is quite a controversial thing to say, people are split, but personally I think turboing the 86 ruins its characteristics of being a lightweight highly responsive car. I really think you should keep yours naturally aspirated, but that is largely a personal preference thing.
Completely understand that point of view. I did very much enjoy that with my time attack FRS, but I am very tempted to go a bit more crazy with this build haha
Any plans to offer the wide angle mirrors without the blue tint? I have 15% tints and my concern is that the blue tint will make it tougher to see details in the mirror through the window tint. Love the vids btw! Always come to your channel to see if you have reviews or install guides on parts that I'm thinking about picking up.
I had a carbon keyfob cover when i first had my gr86 but took it off a month after since it reduced my keyfob range. i couldnt press the trunk button and the unlock button would work about 5 foot in range of the car. does the keyfob that you have reduce the range?
Yooo, Just request or suggest to get different color of driven media t-shirt. The quality on shirt is so nice, if i can wear it everyday i will lol. I need to get those in different color lol.
hey Kevin, great video. Question about your seats. Since they are raceback style and much thinners, does this make the legroom in the rear of the car more appropriate? think the back seats are usable with thinner front seats? thanks!
well isnt that something. I dont need good rear seats but i have two friends Id like to enjoy the car with once I get it, too bad for them I guess @@KevinVo 😂
I'm in California. Been running a HKS spec L exhaust for a while with no issues, you just gotta get something conservative and keep an eye out for cops haha
There are a few different reasons, the main one being safety. They want to be able to get to you easily in case you were knocked unconscious and or if there is a fire. Windows down also allows you to do point bys to allow for safe passing on the track.
Angle them as much towards the cent of the car. That will create a gap on the outside where you can stick your fingers. Then grab the mirror and start prying it off. It will pop off.
There was a slight fitment issue and I didn't want to have to deal with shipping a large hood back and forth. Sayber was great to work with though so can't recommend them enough.
I believe there are some options, but can't comment on whether they provide a good enough seal or not. I will say though that most of the RTV people are finding are likely not from the oil pan seal but from further within the engine.
Can someone direct me to a decent big brake kit for this car? Im completely new to modding cars and I'm worried about buying the wrong kit online. I heard brembos are the best so id like to get one of those if possible
Has Subaru Fixed the RTV issue? For the 2023 models by updating the design of oil pick up tube. Instead of a flat, single mesh screen, the new “box” design oil pickup tube features five different screens. Is this going to help? Thanks, in advance!
Please don’t advertise something that isn’t available!!!! Do it when is available makes sense!!! Tired of waiting over 2 months for the blinking module.
It wasn't advertised in this video and I never advertised it when it wasn't in stock. I also clearly stated on the product page that it was on backorder. I apologize for the delay, but sometimes things take time.
The angle of the mirror was adjusted in both shots so that I was in the center. You aren't able to see more just by moving the mirror, the field of view stays the same.
Always a pleasure to see you, Kevin!
Appreciate the support!
Can you do an install video of the HKS cold air intake kit please mate. And the before and after dyno runs
I really love your approach with your GR86. The modes no matter how small or big, are tasteful and have good utility
I love these videos, keep em coming!!

Are your referring to Buckey? haha thanks for watching! Hmm maybe I'll need to pick one up
@@KevinVo of course I was talking about buckey ahahah!!

I just installed the HRS Elite CBR tails on my pavement 86 and they look fantastic. Also super easy to swap
Any news on the GR86 blinking module for the trunk lights I haven’t received anything since 7/29/23 ???
Amazing line up of parts for August! I just wished the Driven Media Carbon Fiber Key Fob Cover fit pre-22+ model Subaru's (i.e. my 2018 WRX).
Hmmm, I'll see what I can do for you!
Wow jam packed! Nice video!!
Thanks for watching!
The clear tailights are beautiful! Been Waiting for my order to come through ❤ and you read my mind with the mirrors. Much needed haha
Can't wait to see how they look on the car! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for giving us such high-quality videos. I love how detailed your explanations and how-to's are! Keep up the awesome work.
P.S.- You make me add something to my "Want to Buy" list with every video😂
Glad you're enjoying them! Thanks for watching!
Would love to see you review and have someone here stock the SARD Ti-Z so we don't have to fight with shipping costs from JP.
Thanks man. Looking forward to the HRS taillight video to showcase the other options they have available
Is there any difference in weight between the hood struts? Even if it’s not by much I’d still like to know. 🙂
I think there's only a 1oz difference haha
Thanks Kev I will order a few
Great videos 👏👏👏
I love your videos! You do such a good job showcasing everything, do you think you could review the supra style headlights from alpharexusa?
I know allot of people who own a gr86 don’t mind the cabin being dark when your driving at night but I like to have some interior lighting on. Kevin please make a video on symphony lighting install for the GR 🙏
Yes get the hood, can't go wrong with lower engine Temps
Agreed!!!
Thx Kevin, now my wallet is even lighter. Just ordered the mirrors. I just hope I don’t break the OEM during removal
2.5 Stroker would be dope!
When i get my 86 im gonna really use this playlist thanks
@Kevin Vo
Do the wide angle mirrors reflect on how close an object is compared to the OEM mirrors? Also is it both the mirrors or only driver side?
What do you think about the new performance package Toyota is offering
Are all these parts compatible with the 22 BRZ as well? For some parts like the HKS oil cooler and cold air intake its says Toyota 86 on the website.

It's time for a Verus upgrade.
This video was sooo helpful, thank you soo much for this!
Awesome man BRIDE ZETA IV red color same with my CR-Z
Sorry. Where did you say you can get the shift knob? The Alcântara one that you were holding
Hey Kevin, I love the content man keep it up! Will there eventually be a matte carbon option for the center vent cover?
Do the hood struts provide enough tension to reduce hood flutter at highway speeds? It is the most visually annoying thing while I am driving my BRZ.
I'll have to check next time I take it for a drive.
My wallet can’t keep handling these videos Kevin 😂
r u gonna get the toyota brakes and damper upgrade? if u are can review it?
Hey Kevin, wondering if you know how to prop back in the tow ring panel on the front grill? Mine popped out of nowhere one day and is sticking out like a sore thumb
hey man! love the content you put out! hopefully one day i will be trying to get a GT86 or maybe even a GR86 in the future. I would like to ask tho on what camera you use to film your content?
Have you thought about wrapping your mirriors red? To match the car
Your vids are the best ngl easily
I know this is quite a controversial thing to say, people are split, but personally I think turboing the 86 ruins its characteristics of being a lightweight highly responsive car. I really think you should keep yours naturally aspirated, but that is largely a personal preference thing.
Completely understand that point of view. I did very much enjoy that with my time attack FRS, but I am very tempted to go a bit more crazy with this build haha
@@KevinVo I will say if you plan to track the GR86 at some point, then yeah a turbo kit would absolutely transform it
Any plans to offer the wide angle mirrors without the blue tint? I have 15% tints and my concern is that the blue tint will make it tougher to see details in the mirror through the window tint. Love the vids btw! Always come to your channel to see if you have reviews or install guides on parts that I'm thinking about picking up.
They're available in clear on the website!
@@KevinVo My guy! Always giving the people what they want!
Cant wait for that gen 1 new products video 👀
100000% get the hood bro, an the Verus wing, u got the WRX as the Daily go stupid wit the 86
Will Driven Media be making ZN6 parts in the future? Would like a dark stealth overlay for the 4th brake/reverse light.
Absolutely!!!
Have you heard anything about the gktech short shifter ? Wondering if it’s any good or comparable to the one you have
Are the side mirrors compatible with the defroster?
Yes!
I had a carbon keyfob cover when i first had my gr86 but took it off a month after since it reduced my keyfob range. i couldnt press the trunk button and the unlock button would work about 5 foot in range of the car. does the keyfob that you have reduce the range?
Is it true that Kia stinger GT going to be discontinued in 2023?
What happened to the ftspeed headers?
6lbs of boost and its making 335whp! 😶👍👍👍 that's amazing. It'll be 400hp at 10lbs.
I like the Sard tail light
Stoptech brakes for brz gen one will it fit gen two
Is that a rear seat delete I noticed?
Yooo, Just request or suggest to get different color of driven media t-shirt. The quality on shirt is so nice, if i can wear it everyday i will lol. I need to get those in different color lol.
How much weight did you save going with the carbon fibre key fob?
I'm going into debt after this video.
Sorry if I missed it, But did you ever get the fitment issues figured out for that Sayber CF hood?
I didn't want to deal with the logistics of shipping a hood back and forth so I decided against it. Sayber Design was great to work with though.
I have mirrors like that, wide angle is awesome but lights are still too dam bright nowadays lol
Any plans to do store items for the 1st gen 86/BRZ/FR-S?
Absolutely!
hey Kevin, great video. Question about your seats. Since they are raceback style and much thinners, does this make the legroom in the rear of the car more appropriate? think the back seats are usable with thinner front seats? thanks!
With these specific seats it actually makes the rear seats even more useless as they do not recline forward due to the aggressive bolstering.
well isnt that something. I dont need good rear seats but i have two friends Id like to enjoy the car with once I get it, too bad for them I guess @@KevinVo 😂
They can take turns haha it's not fun in the back seats either way!
the hood wiLL look sick in your car go ahead
That's what I'm thinking!
I thought you were going to sell the FRS? Did I miss an important video?
I've been parting it out and it's taking a bit longer than I would've liked haha I'm almost to the point of listing it though!
I love the wheels on this thunbnail. What are those?
They're Advan TC3 wheels. They're not made any more and have been replaced by the TC4.
@@KevinVo thanks!
If I didn’t live in Cali I’d be exhaust and turbo shopping. I feel like all I can safely do is aesthetics unless risking pull overs 😢 damn this state!
I'm in California. Been running a HKS spec L exhaust for a while with no issues, you just gotta get something conservative and keep an eye out for cops haha
is it possible add parking sound sensors for manual version?
What do you mean parking sound sensors?
@@KevinVo sensors that do more and more intense sound as the distance between car and anything else is smaller and smaller.
Nice!!
Wait what happened to your Sayber designs front lip
Couldn't make it up my driveway so I had to take it off. I still have it though haha I need to make a ramp for my driveway.
They need something so you can take right turns without engine failure. That would be nice.
YES KEVIN TURBO IT!
Rtv issues?????
Newb question. You have keep your windows down at the track? Why?
There are a few different reasons, the main one being safety. They want to be able to get to you easily in case you were knocked unconscious and or if there is a fire. Windows down also allows you to do point bys to allow for safe passing on the track.
What's good Kevin
Life is good! How are you?!
Good stuff
Nice license plate. My wife says that about ten times per day 🤣
hahah that's awesome!
Hey Kevin ordered my f1 taillight module last month and it still hasn’t come in. Any feedback?
They are currently on backorder. Once they come in they'll ship out!
@@KevinVo ah okay thank you
How do I remove the old mirrors
Angle them as much towards the cent of the car. That will create a gap on the outside where you can stick your fingers. Then grab the mirror and start prying it off. It will pop off.
what happened to the sayber hood?
There was a slight fitment issue and I didn't want to have to deal with shipping a large hood back and forth. Sayber was great to work with though so can't recommend them enough.
Has anyone found an actual gasket for the oil pan? I want to drop it and clean the excess RTV
I believe there are some options, but can't comment on whether they provide a good enough seal or not. I will say though that most of the RTV people are finding are likely not from the oil pan seal but from further within the engine.
@@KevinVo Thank you for the info ❤️
Can someone direct me to a decent big brake kit for this car? Im completely new to modding cars and I'm worried about buying the wrong kit online. I heard brembos are the best so id like to get one of those if possible
What is your reasoning for wanting a big brake kit?
Facts. Cus the stock ones are solid. If anything upgrade your pads.
@@KevinVo Mostly the look but I plan on tracking it eventually
Are you Vietnamese?
Yup!
Kevin please PLEASE turbo the gr
Hmmmmm maybe I will since you asked so nicely
@@KevinVo I love you Kevin 😭
Here’s the problem. You show us all these amazing upgrade mods for our 86…we go to the sponsor web site, and every item is sold out! What’s the point?
Which products are you referring to?
It definyttly need carbon tayl wing
Has Subaru Fixed the RTV issue? For the 2023 models by updating the design of oil pick up tube. Instead of a flat, single mesh screen, the new “box” design oil pickup tube features five different screens. Is this going to help? Thanks, in advance!
Fixed it? No, but the new pickup tube design is a lot better than the previous design for sure.
yo imagine making all that mods to ur car and still beiung slower than a kia optima type s
I don’t trust hood props though, my mom’s Hyundai is terrible to work on because they use terrible hood struts.
TROI OI
Please don’t advertise something that isn’t available!!!!

get a bugatti its cooler
Yeah you're right, let me just pull the money out of my 🍑
You also moved the mirror in more so your going to see more but im sure you can see more
The angle of the mirror was adjusted in both shots so that I was in the center. You aren't able to see more just by moving the mirror, the field of view stays the same.
Could I get your email so I could send you a message?
