Beautiful car! You can add almost 25 whp with an open flash tune and a catted UEL header on 93 oct. Run E85 and you will get 40 hp and a slight bump in the midrange vs the dip. All for $1000. No overheating No turbo lag or parasitic losses of an SC. Leave the stock cat back exhaust and run an takeda cold air and your car will sound BETTER than an RSX-s.
Tow truck? Ted just doesn't know how to wrench and seriously has idea about the difference between performance cars and fake wanna be performance cars like a BRZ.
"Fake performance cars?" Is that why 86s have been dominating entry level motorsports for several years? There are minivans faster than a miata. Does that mean that a minivan is a sports car, and a miata is not? It's not just about raw speed. Independent platform created for handling and aerodynamics with a sacrifice for a smaller engine. This isn't GTI/R, wrx/sti, and other vehicles that share 1 platform across the lineup. This is why this car is special, and one of two (other than miata) in it's class under 70k with a handling challenging a porsche.
Subaru's unveiling of the anniversary cars said 1, 050 BRZ and two other models combined were made, so divided by 3 equals they only made 350 and divide that by 50 states is only seven per state
ohhh i looked at the 50th STI, i really liked it but the dealer i was at wanted like $46k for it, i was like "LOL i'm not spending V8 money on that, maybe if it were a Lotus i would understand, but not a subaru"
SICK! I'm in love with the heritage blue color, I actually just found some vinyl wrap that is a damn near exact color match to it, I'm gonna use it in my next video if you are interested in seeing it, I'm just trying to wait out all this rain i have been having
63k miles, belt tensioner pully, oil filter housing gasket, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, waterpump, auxilary cooling fan, aux fan relay, sun roof motor, window regulator, keyless entry failed, motors in the driver seat failed as well
Wow that's nuts, I only had oil filter housing gasket replaced and other than that nothing else happened, probably around 60k I'll have to do the tensioner pulley and belt but knock on wood I haven't had too many issues
Nice spec, when my timing chain went on the E88 Ngl I went straight looking for the 86 because I felt demotivated after the repair costs, but now it's all working again it will definitely be a future upgrade :)
yeah im aware, but its not expected to be revealed for at least 4 years which at that time i will have 95% of this car paid off if not the full amount so hopping in to a new car shouldn't be a problem if its really that much better
No i went from an N55 that was broken constantly and costing me way more money than the car was worth to fix..... to a brz with a warranty that hasn't cost me a dime and that i enjoy quite a bit more than the 135is..... sure its slower, but unless you've driven one its hard to explain how good they are to drive.
MatterMoo do you go to meets? I’m on my 2nd n54 so I’ve had to fix everything twice. But only things that have broke is water pump and fuel pump, but those are to be expected. Besides that I’ve been running 400ish hp for 8+ years and still running strong . If I was you and wanted something more reliable and had to be coupe, I would of gone c6. Brz is just so underwhelming.
@@i_read_bad_reviews yeah i go to a bunch of meets around the houston area, and a C6 Z06 is my next step. its all about timing to be honest. when i traded my bmw i had just spent $1,300 fixing some relays and other random stuff and then got a CEL while having it appraised to be traded in. at that point i was pretty much done with the car and just happened to be at subaru and really liked the heritage blue paint, i had owned a 2013 brz previously and the 2018 was so much nicer so getting into it was a no brainer. they also gave me way more than they should have for my bmw. i've been on the hunt for a C6z06 for awhile now. i'm just trying to be pickey cause they are a realistic dream car to me, so i want the perfect one and i plan to keep it for a long time once i buy one. hit me up on instagram next time you;re going to be at a meet
Every body is ditching that motor and puting a 2jz in it people like hp and tork car may be good on the twistys but cares 2021 you'll be looking at the upgraded brz and tgat 50th anniversary is a thing of the past
if i end up blowing this motor or just getting tired of it by the time the new brz comes out i'm LS swapping this thing! or just trading up for a corvette haha
Sorry for the asshole comments...I was just being a BMW fan boy....I used your video all day to remove my interior trim pieces and I felt bad about the stupid shit I wrote...hearing your voice all day...lol....sorry man your car looks great. I wasn't even sub'd but I am subscribing to your channel...again sorry for being a douche bag!
its all good man, it honestly hurt a little bit getting rid of my BMW but I'm glad to say that i got to experience owning one, i learned a lot and I'm actually much happier in my BRZ its dreadfully slower than my 135 but i find myself enjoying the ride more, the brz just takes a little bit more to drive well, its a little more roudy and raw and i like that about it, having gotten to drive a buddy of mines supercharged brz, it felt so good, so planted and quick, not straight line fast by any means but being able to carry triple digit speeds through turns that my bmw could barly handle at 60mph was enough for me to want to make the change
Its allot more reliable and looks super cool to be honest...Its nice not to worry about another stupid breakdown and the cost I bet. I have driven the BRZ and it honestly is allot of fun...not everything is straight line and its a corner carver. Good luck man...!
You gave up a 13 second quarter mile car for a 15 second one? You cant even beat a van with that while before you could stick with a C6 vette??? It nice but you will hate the fact that everyone in the sports car world can beat you, and if you throw a ton of money at it to make it faster...it still will be slower if you had done a JB4 to the BMW.....
sometimes you need to step back an enjoy the drive, this car is worlds better than the bmw in driving feel., i will have a C6Z06 soon enough , but taking a step back and really learning what it means to be a good driver and doing track days is much better than just "being fast" anyone can buy a 10 second car.... but not everyone knows how to handle a 10 second car. so this is me learning to handle cars better
@mask man, lol well I'm glad you're such a supportive person.Unsub if you're really that offended that i don't have the 135is anymore. i'm happy with my switch and I'm not going to the drag strip anytime soon so quater mile times mean nothing at all, hopefully your 135 doesn't break as often as mine did..... sucks to suck
Beautiful car!

i've got some decent plans for the car and a good NA setup in mind, i plan to stay NA for maybe a year and get some track time in
Welcome to the 86 club! Also just subscibed!
yow! thank you1 i'm glad to be here
Nice! Congrats on the new wheels !
thank you!
What's with the dislikes? Car enthusiasts really have some strong opinions lol
bunch of whiner babies
BRZ slow as hell....135i fast as hell....that is why
Mask Man Only needs to go faster than the tow truck carrying the bmw

How good did you do on the trade in?
not as well as i had hoped but, i got 19,800 for the 135is
wonder if i can still find one of these brand new ? was it difficult for you?
nope, i bought mine when they first landed, just call around to a few dealers to see. from what i've heard there are only 500 of them
Subaru's unveiling of the anniversary cars said 1, 050 BRZ and two other models combined were made, so divided by 3 equals they only made 350 and divide that by 50 states is only seven per state
they only made 250 of the brz heritage blue, confirmed from subaru headquaters in new jersey
I got the 50th anniversary wrx, love it. Congrats and I’m sure it’ll be more reliable than any German car.
ohhh i looked at the 50th STI, i really liked it but the dealer i was at wanted like $46k for it, i was like "LOL i'm not spending V8 money on that, maybe if it were a Lotus i would understand, but not a subaru"
Awesome bro, I have a 50th anniversary WRX and it’s beautiful! I’m going with a herritage blue, black, and red color scheme.
SICK! I'm in love with the heritage blue color, I actually just found some vinyl wrap that is a damn near exact color match to it, I'm gonna use it in my next video if you are interested in seeing it, I'm just trying to wait out all this rain i have been having
Awesome. Have to seek my 2015 Limited. Just had my 3rd kid. Time for a Crosstrek.
26,000 on it. I had fun though.
Congrats.
oh awesome, congrats on the kid! the crosstrek is a good car from what ive experienced with it and ots still semi fun to drive haha
how many miles were on your 135is before you traded it in? and what were the major issues you had with it and stuff?
63k miles, belt tensioner pully, oil filter housing gasket, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, waterpump, auxilary cooling fan, aux fan relay, sun roof motor, window regulator, keyless entry failed, motors in the driver seat failed as well
I think you just got a bad car cause it shouldn’t have that many problems at 60k miles. That’s a bit ridiculous.
Wow that's nuts, I only had oil filter housing gasket replaced and other than that nothing else happened, probably around 60k I'll have to do the tensioner pulley and belt but knock on wood I haven't had too many issues
haha why do you think i sold it?
ive heard of a few n55s out there being reliable but this one has kinda put a bad taste in my mouth for bmw
I got the same car about 3 weeks ago, best car I have owned by far!
awesome! congrats! add me on instgram Matter_Moo i wanna see pics
I will get the isntagram app and will share pics soon
Nice spec, when my timing chain went on the E88 Ngl I went straight looking for the 86 because I felt demotivated after the repair costs, but now it's all working again it will definitely be a future upgrade :)
i think you would love the 86, it might not be the fastest in a straight line but the "smiles per gallon" are way higher
It is the same speed as a Civic Si ...SLOW.
you traitor! jk, really nice car man. I hope you get to enjoy it!
thanks man! she rrally is a bunch of fun
Congrats my man!
FYI: TOYOTA AND SUBARU just announced a standard bigger engine in 2021 MODEL brz/frs!
yeah im aware, but its not expected to be revealed for at least 4 years which at that time i will have 95% of this car paid off if not the full amount so hopping in to a new car shouldn't be a problem if its really that much better
cool bro
Dude go Jackson racing if your going supercharger.
im not that big a fan of jackson racing's kit
Wait you went from an n54 135i to a brz? I am ashamed you are from my city.
No i went from an N55 that was broken constantly and costing me way more money than the car was worth to fix..... to a brz with a warranty that hasn't cost me a dime and that i enjoy quite a bit more than the 135is..... sure its slower, but unless you've driven one its hard to explain how good they are to drive.

Tork?
dam what up with all them dislikes. love the wheels on this spec.
i guess people don't like brzs haha
BREMBO- DAM PORSCHE stopping power!
lol but got crappy stock tires that don't stop like porsches
the stock michlens really arent bad
Silver stitching and silver seat belts...not white.
depends on the lighting when you look at it, it has some sort of metalic in it that makes it look white at first glance

This guy talking shit with vertical uploads of his 370z that barely breaks 14 seconds
Those videos were for a car I sold stupid...I now own a 135i so piss off.
Plus it ran mid 13's which is way faster then the BRZ POS at 15 seconds...
@mask man, lol well I'm glad you're such a supportive person.Unsub if you're really that offended that i don't have the 135is anymore. i'm happy with my switch and I'm not going to the drag strip anytime soon so quater mile times mean nothing at all, hopefully your 135 doesn't break as often as mine did..... sucks to suck
