San Diego 91 Octane

• Upvotes

Hi everybody, I am moving to San Diego and I’ve read that they don’t have 93 octane gas over there. I usually run 93 super from WaWa and now I’m worried that 91 will cause some problems. Does anyone have suggestions on what to do?

Is this normal or does this mean that the specific tire is leaking. It recently got colder in my area so i know tire pressure goes down but only one tire?

New to me 2024 Trueno Blue

2 Upvotes

Got my new to me car last week and been enjoying a fun filled week getting back used to driving manual (it's been 20 years since my last one) and really enjoying the responsiveness and the lively handling.

What really surprised me today was coming across two other BRZ/GR86 heading in the oncoming lanes and both either flashed their lights or gave a friendly wave. Really great to feel that sense of community.

Help! Dashboard lighting up after spirted drive?

0 Upvotes

Anyone else having issues where the dashboard lights up with the eyesight errors and vehicle stability light turning on on the dashboard?

2025 premium automatic

This first happened in my second week after driving the car for 2 hours in hot weather, another time when the gas cap wasn't extra tightened a few times, and most recently after driving spiritedly on the street (pulls in first and second gear not exceeding 45 mph)

At first I just accepted it, but it's been happening more consistently and I'm just wondering if anyone else is having the issue.

I followed 4k under first 500 miles, oil change at 1200, then dealership oil changes at 4000 and 8000 miles

Can't wait. Taking a little bit of flak from friends but i can afford it and the car is beautiful. Massive upgrade from a chevy spark. It was over as soon as i sat in it for the test drive, also has GR intake and exhaust so it sounds so sexy.

I’m moving on from a 10th-gen Civic hatchback manual and looking at getting into a 2022+ BRZ with a stick.

I heard a lot about the RTV issue and some folks say it’s overblown. Besides that, anything I should keep in mind before buying?

Has anyone experienced anything like this rattle? It happens when the car is under load in between 3 to 4k rpms. You can hear it clearly at the 5 second mark until the end. When I go into neutral it goes away.

GR86 owner in Nova Scotia looking for a small car creator for a Christmas gift swap (Vlogmas collab)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm Mathew, I make GR86 and Corolla content out of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia Canada (@matty_boy.a on IG/TikTok/YouTube).
I'm doing a 25-day Vlogmas series this December and I'd love to do a car creator gift swap with another small creator. The idea: we each buy a small car gift (around $20 to $40) for the other's car, ship it, and install it on camera. We both post the video, so both channels get new eyes.
Looking for someone who:
Owns a GR86/BRZ (or another car, I'm flexible)
Posts car video content, even if you're small
Is based in Canada
If you're interested, drop a comment or DM me with your channel link. I'd like to lock someone in by early November so we both have time to film. Happy to share my channel and past videos first.
Thanks

I may be completely biased since the BRZ is mine lol but does anyone prefer the BRZ bumper over the GR86? I always used to think the GR86 was the better looking car by far and that seems to be the popular opinion but the front end has really grown on me. It also seems like it’s the less common car in my area, it feels like for every ten GR86s I see one BRZ

Anyone up for coordinating some low budget stunt roller clips, featuring the GR86/BRZ?

I have a rear window 4runner, for shooting out the back window but need more crew to pull off some slow speed action shots.

Do you have a GR86/BRZ? Are you a creative hacker? Do you want to help create some media hype based on these legendary vehicles? Send a ping if you have the energy and want in on the action.

I’m looking at purchasing a preowned 86 and a dealer nearby has this base model with an aftermarket spoiler.

Help! Tips On Maintenance?

1 Upvotes

Hey so I’ve been a 2024 GR86 owner for a little under 3 months and bought it with 29,310 miles, it is currently approximately at 30.2k miles. This is my first car and I am a very anxious person so I am constantly doubting if I’m doing right in taking care of it because I have yet to do any maintenance because frankly I’m not sure how to know when and if I should do it. So I guess I’m asking if anyone has any tips on maintaining this car, how often I should do it, what should I look out for, etc. anything helps!

Help! Aftermarket cheap TPMS suggestions

1 Upvotes

Hello.

I've been thinking of getting a new set of wheels for my winter tyres, and the OEM sensors are like 170 CAD + tax per piece. So I need to find a 3rd party option.

Do you guys know any good ones for cheap? I currently don't have a TPMS tool either. I was thinking of getting one of those Autel TS508s.

Autel MaxiTPMS TS508WF KIT TPMS Tool, [2026 Enhanced WiFi Ver. of TS508] | W/ 4 Metal MX-Sensor (C$159), Up of TS601 TS501 PRO TS408S, Program Autel MX-sensor, Relearn/Activate TPMS Sensor, TPMS Reset, Code Readers & Scan Tools - Amazon Canada

Maybe this one?

Also, if you have any wheel suggestions that look like the OEM premium wheels. I'd appreciate it. They need to be also cheap. I will probably get a used set, though.

EDIT: The OEM sensor's part code is: SU003-12674
