First Mods for our 2022 Toyota GR86! 

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the content!

It's been too long since I've been to Super Autobacs! I just remember them having USDM spec parts which made me laugh because we want JDM spec parts over here.

Appreciate the support!!

That was definitely satisfying!!!

I'm excited to show everyone what we've got in store!

Thank you for all the love!!!

Always excited to install new car parts!

It's a really sleek look!

Lots to come!!!

Happy to help! Learn from my mistakes! haha

Thanks for watching!!!

Glad you enjoyed!

Sometimes I surprise myself! haha

We're going to go a little bit different of a route on this one so stay tuned!

Thank you!!!

Do it! They're fantastic! I love them!

@@KevinVo 2023 brz arrives in Nov you guys will be getting a very BIG order before then lol

You won't notice a difference in power delivery with the strut bars. They do stiffen up the chassis a bit, but it's not a massive difference.

Thanks!

This, honestly, was more cosmetic and more for the fact that it had a brake master cylinder brace built in. They're not going to make a massive difference, but every bit will help. This isn't going to be a track dedicated car like my FRS is so I'm doing a little bit of function and form.

Strut bars don't resist body roll, so not sure why they would even be a factor in your thinking. They resist frame movement, if you have problems with curbs, you normally address that with proper suspension that can actually handle being driven that hard internally.

Maybe one day I'll overnight parts from Japan!

I'll have plenty of ideas for you by then! haha

You can't unsee it!

Is this something you're going to notice a substantial distance driving around town? No. It'll be a subtle upgrade in stiffness, but the brake master cylinder brace will be a nice improvement! Plus they look pretty damn good.

In other words, it did nothing but add weight to the car.

Maybe we'll do a driveshaft as well! haha probably not on this car. Maybe on the FRS. As for the carpet, yes I could've, but then you wouldn't have access underneath without removing the bar. Because the mat can just be folded over, I can still pull the carpet out from underneath.

@@KevinVo I have always been interested to see how much of a difference the light weight shaft makes re how much power makes it to the rear wheels. I’d be intrigued to watch a before and after dyno. Might prompt me to buy one. 😉

Very nice

I don't think you can go wrong with either car really. I'd love a GF Corolla if I could get one.

No STI parts on this GR86! haha

In reality, the rear brace isn't going to make a substantial difference. These were more for looks than anything besides the brake master cylinder brace.

It really depends what you're planning to do with the car. Some easy budget friendly mods are the JDM clear sidemarkers, LED upgraded for the interior and reverse lights, and a shift knob. If you plan on tracking the car you'll want to do brake fluid and pads at a minimum.

I think that one sits underneath the carpet though. I want to be able to see it! Haha

@@KevinVo yep it does, also it require a spare tire delete on the first gen car

How much better is a strut brace going to get though?

I don't believe loctite is necessary for these. Should be perfectly fine without it.

Nah, I can just flip the mat up and still access underneath. There's no spare tire in these anyway.

@@KevinVo I know. I have a 22 BRZ. I bought a new spare rim from Toyota for a FRS $88. I have a spare now. Good to know about the access. 👍

You can still access the space underneath the mat. Not sure if you'd be able to pull a spare out though. I don't have a spare installed on this car so can't say for sure.

It does fit perfectly as it should. That may not be the case with all strut bars though depending on the mounting designs.

None of these mods would affect the warranty if installed correctly.

Unfortunately, I don't know the laws in Germany so I couldn't tell you.

@@KevinVo yeaaah, Its Not your Job anyway. But great Video :D

Cảm ơn em! 😀

There's room, but I don't think there's enough room to put some subs back there.

@@KevinVo yea didn't look like it, thanks!

No

I'm not 100% sure, I'll have to test it next time.

You can get all the parts on FTspeed.com

Those things are a joke. I had one on my R33 GT-R and even braking super hard on track I never noticed better brake feel.

In these cars, it helps! I noticed it in my FRS as well!

It really depends on the car. Some cars have stiffer firewalls than others which means the brake master cylinder doesn't deflect as much. On these cars it makes a noticeable difference.

Not any time soon. I'm a broke boy.

I feel like a beefy rear swaybar would address the stability better. And since the twins have multi link rear suspension. The upper A arms would take away some of the impacts during curbing, so essentially the upper A arms are acting the job in place of the RSB.

It won't be a huge noticeable difference on the street. There's a blitz option that installs underneath the carpet if you don't want to cut the mats.

Not quite yet.

We'll see what options we've got for the dipstick.

Why would the caps fall off? They're secured in place even better than the plastic ones.

@@KevinVo like when you top off fluids, specially wipers fluid

@@Carlos.Rivera they snap into place the same as the oem ones. Just gotta make sure they're on right. They're not coming off.

Did you strip a stud on the suspension top hat or what stud did you strip?

@@KevinVo the one on the strut tower.

@@skunkiiee7333 the one holding the oem bar that goes to the firewall?

@@KevinVo yes

@@skunkiiee7333 depending on how bad it is, you can get a tap and die set to see if you can chase the threads.

Kevin Vo master race

@@KevinVo Proud to be Vietnamese 🇻🇳

I'll try my best!

Logos are displayed on most aftermarket products and on the cars themselves. Verus Engineering is a company I'm happy to advertise for.

I would hardly call that a major downgrade. If anything, since the OEM cap flips up, you end up having to hold it out of the way while you pour anyway and how ofter are you filling up your washer fluid haha

@@KevinVo I was just teasing. 😜 After seeing your engine bay in other videos now, I have to say it does look nice.

Well, really anything extra you put on the car is unnecessary haha

Why so negative, Jared? It's a light hearted video sharing some parts being installed on the car. Are they the most mind blowing parts? Of course not, but as I've said, I'll be installing parts that I just think look great as well as parts that make the car better. Will these stiffen up the chassis a significant amount? Not likely, but at least it has a built in brake master cylinder brace and they look nice. At the end of the day, I'm having fun installing parts on my car. Why else do we spend money on these things haha

@@KevinVo Because people will watch this video and take your comments about those parts in the video with a degree of authority. Its poor ethics.

@@Jaredscott89 which comments are you referring to exactly? I don't ever recall saying that these are going to significantly improve the cars performance, in fact, I believe I said they probably aren't going to make a big difference. Interesting that you think this is poor ethics. This is a video about what I chose to do to my car. It's not a video telling people to go buy something that could harm their car or themselves.

Why are you so mad at what someone else does to their car? 🤣 What does being a citizen have to do with car parts? You know, you could just not buy parts you don't want... I'm not making you buy anything haha
