So You Want a FRS/BRZ/86 

We love the 86s an we want to see yours if you have one! Submit your FRS/BRZ/86 over at www.fitmentindustries.com/add

U know wat i just realised? He sounds like the car guy version of linus tech tips

B is for boxer, R is for rear wheel drive, Z is for zero power (I own a BRZ)

RU-vid: so you want an 86 Me tearfully: yes :(

I have a unique 86 GTS - it's stock!!!!

This is a proper tuner car. Nothing comes even close with aftermarket support.

So you want to work at Fitment Industries

I love my 86. Favourite car I've ever owned. But if you think it's not fast enough, the roads you're driving on are too straight.

The only modern Japanese sports car that's trying to keep the spirit of the 90s alive. (low hp numbers, not about fancy interior, RWD, good platform/chassis to build on, cheap parts, affordable car, MANUAL...) The skylines, rx7s, supras, and nsx had to adhere to the gentlemans agreement and made up for the power short comings with making a platform that handled well. Something modern sports cars don't do too often. It's all about high power and v8s now.

I love my BRZ. It doesn't matter how much power your car has if it handles like shit. The BRZ/FR-S/GT86 platform handles like a dream. I often find myself trying to think of excuses to go somewhere just so I can drive it.

People hate that there are the 86 and the BRZ, but I kinda like it. It gives off a Trueno/Levin vibe to me

We're so blessed to have content like "So you want a" and "Up to speed" on the RU-vids! Thanks for the 🔥 content

I've had my FRS for 4 years now. I STILL get compliments on it every day. I've paid it off and people still think its some fancy new car. I've gotten another much faster car, and I still prefer driving this one around most of the time. I'm 100% keeping this car until the wheels fall off. It's not a car for everyone, but if it does appeal to you its fuckin great. Also I have Gram Lights 57dr’s, no RPFevery1’s here lol.

One of the most unique one I've seen is the engine swap with a Ferrari engine by Ryan Tuerck

best daily I ever owned. Running cost : fun factor ratio is through the roof compared to anything else

Eyyyy 2013 FRS guy here. My VIN# just barely squeaked out of the recall ranges. Still going strong :D No valve spring issues, no blowy uppy motor, nothing. It's like a little family. Every single time I see someone in one of these cars we wave, or we flash lights, whatever. They also look great cruising as a crew. The car has character in loads. Ask an FRS/BRZ owner where his rattle is, and you'll get a different answer every single time. Mine went from inside my driver door to the dash to the passenger door and now is somewhere between the rear window and my trunk. Nope, not a power car, but it does sound absolutely mint with the MXP Comp RS catback I have on there. Actually, since the OFT tune to take out the torque dip, and the tiny power increase from a larger intake, it is a lot more peppy in the lower RPMs. But even with it having low power, once you cross the 4k RPM line it becomes a lot more fun. It's like the car has two personalities - below 4k RPM it's this benign little cruising car that just likes looking cool, but after that 4k line it sort of wakes up and wants to go fast. Just don't be an asshole in this car because it really doesn't have the balls. I do find some people really can be idiots around the car though. Like you'll get people that want to show you up and blast by or tailgate you or whatever, meanwhile you're just out going to Walmart enjoying your car. Everyone else in my experience though absolutely loves the car, ESPECIALLY non-car people. A few simple visual mods and people will talk to you endlessly at gas stations and such that have zero idea about the car scene but dig your car specifically. My favorite so far being some dude coming out of a grocery store, handing me a beer, cracking his open, pointing at the car, saying cheers, and walking off. Be ready for the attention from the general public. People stare at it once you start modding it. I dropped mine by a few inches, added some wheels, stanced them flush with the body, replaced all the lighting with color matched LEDs and HIDs, blacked EVERYTHING out, and literally every light or corner or parking lot people stare at it. Sometimes you'll enjoy the attention, sometimes you'll hate it because you modded it for yourself, but on the whole it's worth it.

he is basically the linus tech tips of cars

You guys did it! Finally after all the begging!

My favourite thing about being a BRZ guy is the variety of styles people go with. There's stancy bois, drifty bois, serious racecar bois, engine swapped drag cars, the odd rally build, and some old dudes that keep it stock and never drive it hoping it'll be a collectable some day, and the car generally does all of those things pretty well when the mods are done right. Also most of the people are super friendly. I actually ended up getting my first career job as an indirect result of a guy knocking on my window to tell me he has the same car as me.

Just bought one as a reliable sports car/daily driver for to and from work and I absolutely love it! Gets great fuel economy and the mods to do to them are virtually endless!

I love my FRS. My wife bought me a first year model the summer they were first released. Man, she spoiled me. I had wanted one when I first saw them, but never imagined owning one. They turn super well, are fun to drive, and I got so many compliments. It was definitely a car I really wanted, and almost 11 years later, I still love getting in and driving.

Love my BRZ. Tip: if you get the manual, Altimas can't keep up 👌🏾

I have a Brz and just wanted to say this is the best video explanation yet that I've seen online about these cars thank you🙏🏾

Having a used FRS as my first car has been amazing so far! It never fails to put a smile on my face on a bendy road, and the lower horsepower number keeps me out of trouble when riding around town. I couldn't really ask for more out of the car. The people that complain about the lack of power have never driven it properly. When my friends and I go for a spirited drive, they are merely a dot in my rear-view mirror on bendy backroads. If you ever get the chance to take one of these cars for a spin, it is totally worth it.

I still remember the first time I heard about this car and loved the concept of a light RWD car that compares to a miata. Definitely one of the best looking cars and are very fun but if only they came off the line with a turbo... if only.

*_"So you want an; Escalade, a Navigator, Eddie's Skyline, Savo's S7, Ryu's Evo"_* Make it happen captain

A lifted FRS R/cursedimages

So you want a Toyota Yaris.

As a 2013 FRS owner, bought brand new, this is the car that wanted when I was 21. Now that I'm nearly 67, she is still the car I want to drive. I grew up in a 1968 Coronet R/T, so if you want speed, buy speed. Let's talk about unique, save tires (Mich PSS) and TRD brake pads, mine's stock (50k+ miles). Almost forgot the US 129 Dragon sticker on the driver's side rear window. That's my list of mods, might think about finding another 30 HP and little more torque, but that would be all she needs. This a very fun car to drive on a winding road.

I don’t have a BRZ but I’m about to get one and this video offered some good foresight into what I am contemplating purchasing.

I've been waiting for this video since the beginning of the series.

“If the GT86 standard isn’t fast enough, then the roads you’re driving on are too straight” - HKS Europe Boss

I just bought an FRS 5 days ago and I’ve never owned a car that puts a smile on my face so much

EVERYTHING has been done? I lived out of my BRZ for about 6 months in a parking lot, road tripped with it, car camped at national parks, tracked it, and daily commute with it. SOOOOOOoooooo :DDD

I've had my 86 for just over a year, I love it, it's my favourite car I've owned!

Recently supercharged my FRS with Vortech's complete tuned kit. I tell ya, it's a night and day difference. The car was enjoyable before, but now I'll find any excuse just to drive it somewhere😊

they're some very good looking cars and the mod ability is fantastic! took one for a test drive a few years ago and was very impressed with the factory package, it's a great platform to start with.

2016 FRS absolutely love it!

He is still the pewdiepie of cars for me.

Cant believe this. I searched the playlist few days back for this and was disappointed. Thank you for making this.

People buying em, thrashing em and then trying to sell em for more than what they are worth is driving up the price of clean ones though. Kind of sucks because it's a fun platform to start out with for sure

I just bought an frs today!

I’m picking up a 2017 series. yellow BRZ this Monday with only 2,000 miles on it. I love this car for what it is. A canyon carver that you can comfortably push to the limit. Very excited!!

I've owned a 2017 86 now for 3 years, absolutely love the car. Haven't done too many mods but honestly the car doesn't need a ton (and I'm poor), but I didn't buy it to go fast in a straight line, I bought to get sideways and maybe go fast doing it lol. This car is a drift beast, and the depreciation on them is pretty decent so this is, I'd say, the "next 240SX" in a way.

So you want a Nissan 240sx.

Love my 15 FRS. It’s my DD and couldn’t be happier.

Awesome video! I absolutely love my FR-S! have had it for a year and a half, and it's still stock. Starting to make a little more at my job, so now I'll be able to pursue some mods! Super excited! XD

Love my 2016 FRS. Over the years, definitely have modified it. Currently have 18" Enkei Kojins on super sports. Valenti tail lights, TRD exhaust, and a bunch of other interior/exterior mods. Just ordered an OFT v2, gonna flash to a stage 1 93 octane tune fairly soon!

The world is flat! I love my brz. Even if I'm slow in a straight line I promise you'll never have the fun I have on canyon and mountain roads 👌👌

Y’all are really killing it with content, the type of content everybody wants to see 🔥🔥🔥

Been eyeing the 86 for a few months now. It but I'm a college student and probably wouldn't be wise to buy a $30k car right now

Love my 2015 fr-s had it for a little over 5 years and I still turn heads and compliments to this day

I love my FRS. I didn't want all the power but a better car than my old TC. I also love the look and sound of the car. If they keep making it, in a couple more years I'll get a newer model of the same car.

i love my 86. not on rpf1’s either. but i do have tomei uel headers 😅 and tein coilovers 😅

building up power is more fun than just straight up buying power from the factory.

Dude for the millionth time, So you want an e36?! 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Stock 2013 whiteout auto 40k valve spring recall,

Love working on my FR-S. Flipped all the internal harnesses to that of a 2017 BRZ with door Harnesses from Japan for the power fold-in side mirrors. Love the amount of support you can find...well anywhere. You may not be a one off in the world, but you can make an imprint depending where you live.

BRZ Owner here... yup. I definitely have a set of RPF1's, Tomei Headers, and Tein coilovers.

"they may not be the fastest care in the market", couldn't be more true. It's the skyline look that gives it its attraction. It's sad to see the same car driven around the city every 10 minutes.

what I like most about my 86 is how easy it is to get it sideways and how predictable it is, all the way up to 10/10 driving. Even when the whole car is sliding sideways, it’s still insanely easy to manage. Many cars go like this: nearly there, nearly there, nearly there, HOLY SHIT I’M IN A DITCH! The 86 is like: Nearly there, nearly there, definitely there now, wow, how much more can I get out of this? beyond there, still smiling, push harder, wow, that was easy, still on the road.

I bought my Toyota 86 for one reason only... Ok one big reason, it loves the turns. It hugs the road. It is one of the best handling for the price point. All the other things I love about it are gravy.

My frs has been great for me pushing 60k miles now got it at 40k not a single issue yet that hasn't been covered under warranty. Knock on wood... Lol it's a fun quick car mine is still stock and still fun to drive, just not gonna smoke anyone like he says in the video the numbers are kinda weak but it's still a super fun car to drive and has room for improvement with mods.

Just bought an FRS and all of a sudden my friends are car experts and explain to me at length the terrible mistake I just made.

Utoob: so you want a FRS/BRZ/86 Me: yes, I do, but that doesn't mean I can afford one lol 😂

I love my FRS for the aftermarket, my brother loves his stock, my buddy loves his for the stance life, my wife on the other and is one of those people who says it's under powered and shes much happier driving a mustang.

I bought a 2015 FR-S in “Asphalt”. Traded it for a 2017 86 in “Halo”. Then traded that for a 2019 86 TRD SE! I call the first two my “Training Cars” for the TRD SE. it’s time to bolt on some more power!!! I am very happy with the platform because it’s like driving a go-cart! But, it still needs more power! Another 80 to 100 horses would make the driving experience so much more fun!!! Love to be able to Smoke everyone that wants to play!

i fell in love with the brz the first time i saw one its been a dream car of mine since then because it cost like 170k here, but recently ive been convinced by the internet that its a boring car and have nothing special to it and i would be better off with an rx8 or something else, and its kinda a bummer, but this video just reminds me of why i love brz, i hope i could own one someday

Dang son, i have a stock early (march) 2013 and never taken it back for the recalls. 65k km not problem. so fun, thought this would be a neat video to watch and look at what the community thinks of this thing nearly 7 years into it

Dude that comparison at 3:06 sounded like straight outta your life 😂✌️

Always wanted a brz and no one has ever changed my mind

Have a 2018 GT86 and if you are looking for highway drag racing at a starting speed of 65/70mph this is not the car for you. If you live in city with lots of traffic probably not. But if you live in area with lots of 2 lane mountain roads (with out snow) this car is a lot of fun. Race car fill for under $30k and not to bad on insurance. Insurance compared to my 06 STI about 40% less not to mention car loan $12K/$20k less. Fun car definitely recommend.

I have one and the numbers thing was something I expected but what I didn’t expect was the fact it handles so well it doesn’t feel like the car is trying to kill you

I think the 86 chassis is the best looking chassis of the 2010’s 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have a 2016 frs automatic stock and not adding anything just fine the way it is. Always fun to drive

I've done zero, zip, nada to this car, it's fast enough for normal traffic (unless you want to track) and it still makes me smile when I apply some deliberate oversteer and put down throttle at 25-30mph :D

I just got my frs

Let’s go you finally upload this I’ve been commenting it for ever

There not fast there "quick" Your not gonna gain on a fast car on a straight but the corners will help you.

I had a 2000 celica which got so damaged from an attempted theft it was an insurance write off. Was on the fence about a GT86 since they were on the higher end of budget. Test drove one and instantly fell in love with how much fun it was drive. Will probably keep it stock for insurance purposes

Lets be honest, the thing with these cars is just how freaking good they look.. Specially for that price.

So you want a Lykan Hypersport I’m just kidding😂

I love my 2019 TRD 86. I've started adding aftermarket parts to it.

I own an 86, it's great fun.

*I’ve had my FR-S for over 5 years and love it!*

Have a '13 BRZ and love it. Intake, catless front pipe, N1 running out the back. Just ordered a set of wheels and tires this morning from you guys and am crazy excited to receive them! Wanted some bigger wheels and wider tires ever since I bought the car so just can't wait to get them and throw them on! 6-12 days is estimated delivery!

I'd been dying to get into an 86 since before they dropped and I finally got one at the end of last summer, 2017 Halo 860. I LOVE this car, it's everything I wanted it to be and I've been having a blast owning something I can actually mod and wrench on easily. I've done wheels, tires, header, catback (about to install my second actually...) and tune so far and there's always a next part I've got my eyes on. Currently have a set of TRD springs in my living room ready to go in. Looking forward to getting irresponsible with dressup parts next summer now that I've pretty much sorted my performance mods...at least until I end up going turbo.

Wanted one in 2009. Impulsively bought one in 2013. There are other vehicles I want, but I won't and will never trade/sell it.

Working hard for this. Anyone see this hope you get your soon.

Your intro pumped me up, im not gonna lie :P I sold my BRZ for an STI 1 year ago and now I'm lookin at getting in a BRZ again. I think a (used, low miles) 250whp BRZ is the perfect car under $30K and there's a TON of kits to choose from to get you there. Its all about the low center of gravity for me. That car is so damn fun.

Got a ‘17 Ltd w/Perf Pck. Added some KW Clubsports, Rear LCA’s, 949 6UL wheels (which I haven’t seen anyone else run in my town), Michelin SS, & a catback , then called it done. Drive it everyday & it’s a hoot. Just as fun as my Porsche & a whole hell of a lot cheaper to maintain.

I love passing BRZ/FRS ‘s on track days ;) S2Kgang

Highly considering buying a BRZ! I love the idea of everything you can do to mod it. Imma make the move!💯👍

B is for Boxer that got really popular R is for rear wheel drive Z is for zenith of driftiiiing! At least i hope so.

I absolutely love my 86, uel headers, a tune, some wheels and tyres and she’s like a completely different car, feels absolutely perfect

pretty fun to watch and can agree with basically everything you said…the GT86 it a great car

8:20 when this guy says “Saturday,” all I hear is “sadder day”

Wait so it's yelling "customize me!" But I intend to keep it stock, does it make me a moron?

Tbh, I do have a unique variant of the BRZ/FRS/GT86 triplets. Its the 2017 Series Yellow BRZ. In the 2 years I've had it, I have never seen another series yellow in person.
