For me at least with owning a new GR86, one thing that kind of scares me is the RTV problem with the oil pan. Most cars probably won't have this issue if you don't floor it everywhere and treat it nicely, but one thing I want to do is to drop the oil pan and to replace the RTV. And also knowing that Toyota / Subaru aren't the easiest to deal with just in case that the engine does experience failure, makes me want to do it that much more.
What would the coil pack revision part number be? Just bought a 2013 BRZ with 61k miles and just wanting to freshen up everything plus it’s throwing the P0351 code
My first car, I’ve owned it for 8 months, rattles and pops from worn suspension, wallowed out ball joints, missing fender liners, splash guard is on with a zip tie, wiring issue on the front right side and problem with the front right lights, mold growing in the back seats, water in the alternator and on the battery from driving while it was raining, corrosion on the battery and spark plugs, big gap in the front bumper, front grille cover fell off while driving because the clips all wore out and broke
Honestly the stock gear fluid in the transmission and differential is kind of a joke. I would say regardless of if it’s fresh off the lot or has a few thousand miles on it, swap it for quality MOTUL gear 300 oil.
Do you recommend any shops in the Long Beach, CA area to work on my BRZ? It has 60k on it now. I'm a light driver, no tracking. What mileage should I get the transmission juice changed out? I just changed the plugs. It runs great, knock on wood. Thanks for any info
You missed key points the bolts on these cars should always be replaced they stretch so easy and shouldn't be reused. The front seals on the cams and oil dip stick like to go bad he oil pans like to leak. 2nd gear issues , the horrible oem tune where it has the car almost die at 500-400 rpm when you down shift to neutral coming up to a stop
Use 5w 30 every change. My club mates and mechanics always use this oil in 86's . Ask around and alot of youtube 86 drivers recommend. Some use 0w 20 recommend in Japan. But Japan is colder half the year. Oh and I live in hot Australian state 7 mths the year.
I was surprise my FRS on 60K miles and no big maintanance to do😳 I ask twice the service personnel and ask the tech if theres any but mostly I have once a yr change oil and few battery changes as it was not good. Mine is stock only and no plan of upgrading parts as I’m gonna move to MK5 platfprm later on other than change oil and filter changes I have no issues with FRS RS1 trd.I will let them check the spark plug if thats one of the weak point you mention other than than flush of coolant at 200kmiles? I dont thinkk I would reach tha much befpre I move to MK5.
How about the frs having silicone in the oil pick up and the Berings breaking at 100,000 because of lack of oil do to the oil pick up ?????it’s a pretty big problem that no one talks about my car has rod knock on cylinder 3 because of this problem everyone that I know here in fl that have the frs have Upgraded to a killer bee pick up ands found silicone or had rod knock and now are upgrading it now Is this a real problem with the fa20 or is it a Toyota building a Subaru motor and do you guys correct it on your short blocks because I’m buying one
Best of luck in the future. These fa 20 boxer engines are a lucky dip of problems the higher you go in klms or miles. Mine started leaking on timing cover at 50,000 klms. Common problem on these.

My advice would be if you get a new enough one to go get a warranty from the dealer. When stuff goes bad it gets expensive.

Oh yeah and the valve cover gaskets need to be replaced it’s leaking oil
Oh yeah and the control arms needed to be replaced
You bought a beater.

I changed my transmission fluid (manual) at 58K. It looked dirty!

Hello rod knock, valve etc.

Any one else use 5w40 oil for hard summer driving.

Do you guys know if the carbon fiber driveshaft on your website works for the second gen brz/gr86?

Is this a real problem with the fa20 or is it a Toyota building a Subaru motor and do you guys correct it on your short blocks because I’m buying one
how do you fix a p219a code ;(
start diagnosing. It can only be one of a couple things. Check for vacuum leaks first.
just picked up my 2022 brz. Im so in love i might breakup with my GF XD
