Thought of a kind of less intrusive way to cool oil by connecting the engine side coolant hoses together and running a separate water cooled system ran by its own pump and radiator to the factory cooler plate. Easy to reverse for street use and you're not messing with the oiling system. The idea came to me from looking at turbo cars with water cooled intercoolers. The same parts for intecoolers can be used here.
Certainly nowhere near as efficient as cooling the oil directly with how small the cooler plate is but should theoretically incur zero oil pressure loss over stock setup compared to conventional air-cooled oil setup (they shouldn't cause a drop if set up well). The benefit of this is a greater difference between the oil and water temps compared to using 190F/90C engine coolant to do the job. Perhaps the stock oil cooler plate can be swapped with a bigger one? I would like to see someone experiment with this or I could use my Miata as a lab-rat someday.
With the small factory plate, short oil residence time will mean slower heat transfer but the water pump can be controlled to an efficient speed paired with a good radiator to hopefully have a meaningful effect to be useful for track/drift use.
Today I threw on 16x6.5 blizzak ws90s and WOW the ride quality is noticeably better. I knew it would improve but I was genuinely surprised by how much smoother everything is now.
Hey guys, I have “brand new “ -driven only 5 miles with them. They’re too loud and a little overkill for my liking.
$75 shipped.
I'm thinking about get the subwoofer. Anyone have it? and if so how is the sound? Worth the money? or should I put the money somewhere else like diapers for my kids.
Hi, looking to get either lowering springs + spacers + camber bolts up front or coilovers next spring.
My biggest concern is budget of course. A set of decent coils are around 1.5k ish and i could get springs…etc for around 800.
So my questions is if i was to get in to tracking or auto crossing and even drifting can the springs keep up? or should i just save up for some coils
p.s was looking at RSR super downs
Want to sell the Banks Pedal Monster I used on my 2023 BRZ Limited along with a set of new-unopened Whiteline KCA416 front camber bolts together for $230. I had the pedal monster for about 4 months and it’s in perfect like new condition. Selling cause I traded in the BRZ for an SS 1LE yesterday🤘. I previously sold on r/watchexchange and regularly buy and sell on r/fragranceswap. Message me if interested

How do you guys feel about this new system? It's priced at $1,250 from Juiced Pipes.
Parked at a hill and scraped the rim 😭 Yes I am a fool. Anyone have some tips on these types of instances? Would appreciate it greatly!
Anyone know if this is possible and any product options on how to go about this? I'm thinking of adding in some mid range speakers on the top of the dash - the ones that are missing in the 6 speaker setup. Just bought the focals and want to take advantage of this opportunity when installing, if possible.
Hello fellow enthusiasts!
Thinking on installing an oil baffle for my GR86, is this something that can be done easily at home with a lift, or would you take it to a shop/dealer? If anyones gone through a dealer or shop, what did the price run you? Thanks for the advice!
hi friends 🎀 I’ve always wanted a coupe and have liked the 86/brz a lot but I wanna get the automatic ! (I don’t know how to drive a manual lmao). I’ve went to see and test drive the red GR86 in person and fell in love, but haven’t seen the brz/test driven it irl yet. Are there any seasoned 86 owners that can give me some of your thoughts on the car (your experience with it, daily usability, insurance rates, etc.) that might make it a better option than the brz? Did your insurance go up a lot with a new 86?
Thinking of buying one at the end of this year or the end of 2025. Thanks ! :)
In a different post someone pointed out that I have red-colored coolant.
I was told it should be blue.
1 - Does anyone have red coolant in their FRS, 86 or BRZ ?
2 - Please let me know the brand and product number of your coolant ?
3 - Also, how often should I change it now that I have a supercharger + E85 ?
..
Thanks in advance.

Anyone running this wheel? Want to get more pics before pulling the trigger.
Sad reminder that as we head into November, this basically rings the bell for last call for anyone still looking to pick up a new Neptune. The very last shipment of 2024s has now arrived in the US and are on their way via rail to their dealerships.
Anyone else here like me picking up a brand new Neptune this month from this last shipment? Literally can't wait to see it in person.
Sad to see such a good color be put out of production.
