I had a 325 gram knob in my 86 and I thought it was absolutely perfect. I understand liking the notchy feel of the 199 grams but the transmission didn’t feel good enough to me to enjoy that. Interestingly, I am running 500 grams on the STI and I happen to think it’s perfect.
Awesome car shit engine so shit car
I've had my GR86 for almost two years come November, I didn't even know cons one and two was a thing. I feel you may lean too far back, you should sit as upright as possible. I'm between 5'11" and 6' and these aren't issues for me.
just FYI - negative on the step by step navigation in my 22 BRZ using CarPlay - tried Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze. No additional menu, no related setting within the head unit, updated firmware to most recent.
@@alexandram9477 that's surprising -- did you enter a location in Apple Maps and click navigate? The dash display only works when actively seeking a route.
@@KonkrRoads yes I did, with all 3 apps
Any opinion on the ND3 mx-5 Miata RF? Im debating on getting the Gr86 or the Miata
My opinion: the ND3 RF is an incredible car! I think a decision between the Miata and GR86 boils down to your priorities on daily usability, back seats, and whether a convertible is important. I believe they are both extremely fun and beautiful and will scratch the sports car itch. Which are you leaning towards?
Hi ya Mike - thank you for this video - I am expecting delivery on a BRZ tS in the next couple weeks and was thinking about changing the knob. After seeing this video, I have decided to keep the OEM knob that is coming with the car. It looks like it will fit my needs very nicely. This video DID help regardless of the 'hater' comments below. Thanks again! Stay safe and healthy!
Glad you enjoyed the video, and congrats on the tS!! An awesome ride. 🤙 Any other mods planned?
@@KonkrRoads Actually, YES - not long after I am allowed to drive the tS, I intend to completely replace the exhaust system. Corsa Sport 2.5 in Cat-Back 4.5 in Single Tips - HKS Equal Length Catted Headers - Invidia Overpipe - Invidia Front Pipe - at least that is what I have planned for now. I had quadruple by-pass surgery on 2 Aug and am forbidden to drive a manual until October - lol. I have a friend that will drive the car from the dealership to my house until I can get to the Subbie shop. I am also looking into a couple engine enhancements/replacements that won't break my warranty.
@@bruceobrown534 hey Bruce, congrats on getting through the surgery! Loving the exhaust plan; that should get the car rowdy. Careful though on the header -- often engine warranty is compromised when you go aftermarket on this bit. Best to check with your dealer 🤙
@@KonkrRoads The Subbie shop has volunteered/suggested that they would be willing to swap back the original header just for the services and warranty aspects. BUT I do intend to ask the dealerships - there are 2 of them the one where I am buying the car and the one where I will have it serviced - about the header/warranty issue. The tS will be the 10th Subbie I have owned, and I have a 23 Legacy Touring XT that will still be with me for 'bad' day driving. THAT one I will be 'allowed' to drive in a couple weeks - lol.
Thanks for the comparison video! I'm currently using the STI shift knob (~270 g) and I love it. I think it hits the sweet spot for the reasons you mentioned.
@@rcuriel47 right on target with the STi -- glad you're enjoying it 🤙. STi at ~270g and the GR at ~250g says something about the OEM's preferences 🍻
Wtf 😂 is this video a joke? 😂
@@marselluswallace8129 Why do you ask?
your life is a joke
I put the same eject sticker in my Jetta when I got it! Always gets great reactions from my passengers! Looking into buying a brz soon so ill have to add the eject to that as well!😂
Hey good stuff 💪💪. Which BRZ you looking to get??
tall cobb knob is the way to go. not lite not too heavy. also not as expensive.
@@elgoogkcuf for sure a good choice 🤙
Got a Raceseng Slammer @635g for my 86 and then when I got my WRX stuck with that. Love the feel and weight of it. The WRX doesn't shift near as nice as the 86/BRZ and that Lexus 6-speed but the Slammer + Motul fluids certainly helped the WRX feel better.
Good stuff -- no doubt the heavy slammers have their place and feel 💪🤙
Only problem I had with my 6 spd 23 BRZ. The windows when you open and close the door .. they drop and inch to open and when closed they seal up. In the winter the windows were frozen stuck so I couldn't get in to warm it up.
That's intense -- you find a solution? I used to mix up a salt and vinegar mix and run a rag on the window edges. Keeps things right when not parking in a garage. 🤙
I've had 2 heavy aftermarket shift knobs on 2 different cars (a 2009 2L NA lancer and a 370Z), no stock vs aftermarket weights sorry but they were brushed stainless so way on the heavy side I guess. I loved it on the lancer and found it didn't make much difference on the 370Z. I think it depends on the car (gearbox/throw/shiftknob combined) I've got a GT86 now and have been curious but also I'm not a big fan aesthetically of all the ones people usually mention, where did all the brushed metal ones go :( Guess based on your video I probably wouldn't want to go too heavy though
You're absolutely right on the gearbox itself making a big impact on feel. For me the 86/BRZ is best balanced in the 200-300g range, but I do like things on the notchy side. Have you seen this knob? www.blackhawkjapan.com/products/csohara-csohara-00117?_pos=9&_sid=f68e93a9c&_ss=r
@@KonkrRoads thanks for the recommend. I remembered the brand I had, TWM Performance, apparently they went under 5+ years ago. I should have taken them off my cars before I sold them... oops
Vehicle finder function isn't of much use to me. I have a carbon fiber shell on my fob and its effective range is about half a foot. XD
That's quite the case...maybe combat drones should use the same material to protect from energy weapons 😎 Does your keyless entry (hand on door to unlock) still work?
@@KonkrRoads Lol yeah, I just have to be really close!
Please stop your Really Bad Videos Anyone choose their own style.👎
Thanks for watching the video 🤙
He isn’t forcing anyone to buy one over the other… hes giving HIS opinion on HIS youtube video. He even said that everyone has their own personal taste. miguel please stay off the internet since you have a difficult time comprehending such a simple concept.
Bruh it's a review, why you got a stick up your ass?
Hey Mike, nice video 👍🏻. I bought a 220g sledge style knob on eBay and it’s the glass slipper fit for me. Love it. Whatcha gonna do with that collection 😂? Are you sticking with the OEM or continue looking?
Hey thanks 🤙. Yeah not sure what to do with all these shift knobs...the wife is over seeing them scattered about the house. Maybe I can create a piece of abstract art with them and gift it to her on our anniversary 😉 . For now OEM is it...but I suspect the search will endure. Have a link to your 220g bit? Cheers 🤙
Highly appreciate your feedback. Shame it’s personal thing, so I’d have to buy from both spectrum to decide which one I prefer 😅
lol I can relate -- the wife isn't exactly pleased I have a shift knob collection on the dining table 😎🤙. What weight are you leaning towards??
I had a kid call mine a corvette at a show lmao
😂🤣
you actually had a lots of hidden facts and features in this video! tons of these video are repeatedly mentioning the same thing but I learned at least 5 more from your video! thanks man.
Glad you liked the video 😎🤙
You can also get it to unlock all the doors with the hand touch on the driver side like it does on the passenger side. By holding down the lock and panic button on your key at the same time with the car off and the door open for 3 sec, until the car beeps. Way more convent if you drive with passengers all the time.
Good stuff -- I'll have to give that a try 🤙
Ok but trying to fit four 200lbs people in a BRZ at the same time without having to cut some of them up is hard enough. 😂
@@noahosmond3154 LOL you're right on that!
Hey mike, i was wondering if you have dropped your oil pan to remove rtv?
@@raymartisais7613 Hi Ray, I haven't dropped my pan. The OEM multi-window pick-tube design lets me sleep fine, especially knowing that I'd likely make the situation worse by dropping the pan and risk damage or applying too much or too little RTV on the re-seal. If my BRZ were track-focused I'd take the chance, but for my daily driving duties all is good 🤙
Fuel door lever, very cool. I can fit two Oru Kayaks and stuff in the BRZ. In settings you can have both doors unlock when you touch the drivers door. Changing the oil often is the smartest thing to do. 3000 is ok. I average 29mpg, so I could go pretty far before looking like an idiot. Grave new, very funny. didn't know about the car finder function, will use that one. Was very impressed with the three squirters the first time I used them! That was fun. Thanks
Hey all good data and glad you enjoyed!! p.s. I have to see a photo of the kayaks on the BRZ -- well played there 🤙
Bad video.
how so?
I agree they are not at all economical, but how the hell are you averaging 12l/100kms?? Otherwise good car as the XT
23 or so MPG seems good to me 🤷♂️. I don't see traditional highway miles, where high MPGs are afforded, here on Oahu less on my Sunday drives. Our total of three, very short, highways are typically bumper-to-bumper and stop-and-go at rush hour.
Yeah I get like 7.2 to 7.5 l/100km on the highway at like 120km/h
Hello All. Are there any GR86 owners who can give me an information about the long term reliability? I plan on getting the Hakone Edition in the Fall. What’s the issue with RTV? Is this detrimental to the engine? What about oil starvation I’ve been reading about?
Have no fear -- tracking the car, especially with stickier and wider tires, may bring oil issues to light. For daily driving, just check your oil every fuel-up to be sure it's topped off. You'll be fine. 🤙
You can program your trunk to open via a code fyi without key
That's good data 🤙
GR86/BRZ full oil capacity is 5.3qt not 1.1qt
Yep, tracking all. The video's 1.1qt references the amount of oil to bring the car from the dipstick's low-oil dot to the full-oil dot 🤙
When i first started the video i thought you were in australia from the look of the house your in. Given where hawaii is i guess it makes sense houses there are built like out older style homes
At times I wish I were in Australia -- I miss the chicken parmy and chips...the pubs in Brisbane may have had the best 😎. Good eye on the house -- it was built in 1922 🤙
Great video Mike!
Thanks brother 😎🤙
I’m in Hawaii🤙🏽too
Also removing the in cabin fake engine noise
Nice!! Which island?? I'm on Oahu near Wahiawa
Mike many thanks, great review!!! All agreed BUT... 4th con; the indicators (annoying) 5th con; centre screen is 80's video game poor. PRO's 6th pro; power! (albeit after a Harrop supercharger fitted :)) Sound, I fitted an AWE cat-back but with two additional centre hot dogs which gives the car a wonderful growl. Still wakes the dead on start up but settles into a mature (like me!) burble that suits the overall character of the car. Simply a wonderful tool for carving up a good road :)
@@davidgoliath5901 hey good data!!! Clever exhaust setup; if you have a video I'm good for a listen. I'm planning on a supercharger next year as well-- how's the Harrop treating you??
@@KonkrRoads Mike the stock AWE sounds amazing with no drone but I found that there were a few too many decibels when simply commuting. Bit too much 'boy racer look at me' for me. There is room in the straight section for a couple of hot dogs which dropped the noise by say 15%. It sounds epic when you're on it but just a nice burble when you're not. Start up is still out there but I live out of town. Harrop are very well respected over here (Oz) and have been producing top notch racing products for many years. The install is super neat, it looks practically stock. Its unintrusive, it only runs about 5psi and doesn't introduce additional heat to the oil etc. Its difficult to convey the difference except to say it totally transforms the car. With N/A I'd often find myself up at the rev limiter to get things moving. Definitely not so now.. 4 to 6k rpm has enough forward motivation for any occasion! Roundabouts etc in town need a careful right foot. I love its ability to step out but the cops don't. I've also done brakes, wheels/tyres (RE71rs) and will fit a Verus baffle as soon as production starts. I've completely ignored the factory service recommendations. Its had 5w-30 Signature Amsoil with the first change at only 1500km. Its now at 8000km on the third lot of fresh oil. Its a sweet thing to own and now a sweeter thing to drive!
@@davidgoliath5901 thanks for the reply and glad you're enjoying the car! What numbers are you hitting at 5psi? Pump gas? The Harrop has my attention for sure...very clean install and you and others share their good reputation.
@@KonkrRoads Mike standard BP Ultimate pump fuel. 298rwhp. 235ftlb. I haven't timed it yet but its comfortably quick.
@@davidgoliath5901 incredible numbers at 5psi! Thanks for the data David. I'll be joining the supercharged crew in short order. Cheers 🤙
That was fun, thanks. I knew about two thirds of them, and the other third are handy to know.
Hey Robert thanks for having a look at the video. Which feature most surprised you??
But i like the fake engine noise..
Skip #4 and proceed 😎. I'm with you, it was a debate for months on whether to unplug or not. The noise really isn't all that bad until 4k rpm...then it's a bit synthesized for my liking 🤙
Sweet vid man
@@KatieBresette-t6h 🫡🤙
Great info. Earned a sub! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed! Cheers 🍻🤙
I would love to know why, when approaching the car and unlocking via fob, sometimes the headlights turn on, and sometimes not. I thought maybe it had to do with how far away I was, but I can’t seem to replicate it every time.
@@traverserdavid from page 175 of the owner's manual: "Welcome lighting function...is activated while all conditions are met...the light control is in AUTO position and it is dark enough to turn on the auto on/off headlights. NOTE for Canadian models if the engine is turned off after turning off the light switch, the welcome lighting function may not operate." 🤙
Interesting! Sometimes if I click it again it will light up. I must be noticing it right near dusk and didn’t put that together. Thanks!! - @seele_86 ✌🏼
Welcome lighting sounds more like when you approach the vehicle and the interior lights turn on be for you enter. It’s one of my favourites.
Color twins!
😎🤙
Thanks for this. I never knew about the gas emergency hatch.
Glad to help 🤙
Mike your new handle should be Subaru Guru! Great vid!
I like the ring to that name 😎💪
The navigation instructions in the dash may be a Subaru exclusive thing. I couldn’t find that in my gr86 dash screen.
You need to have apple carplay or android auto going. It'll show the directions instead of the music it would show if you had your phone connected via bluetooth
@@raulvenzor5699 I had Apply CarPlay connected and running, and had navigation going with Google map and Apple map. Neither worked. But I can try again.
That's odd for sure. This navigation feature is on page 156 which covers both the BRZ and GR86. Give it another go and let us know if it works out 🤙
I tried again, and good news it works with Apple map, but doesn’t work with Google map on CarPlay. Maybe Google map would work if it is via Android Auto. Thanks for this hidden feature, really cool stuff.
Miatas have more HP per nozzle.
@@megatrolltrollington Fact. That little car has some angry nozzles 🤙
Lol why do i smoke them then
Smoking is hazardous to one’s health.
Great video!
Thanks much! 🤙
Hi ya Mike - thank you for these incites - some of which I knew from previous Subaru vehicle ownership but many of which were new to me. It makes want (need?) to look in my Legacy ownership manual to see if there are corresponding features. Thanks again - stay safe and healthy!!!
Hi Bruce, thanks for having a look at the video 🤙. I'm sure a few things carry over from other Subarus -- let me know what you dig up. I'll have a look at the wife's Outback manual too. Is your legacy the same color as your twin??
@@KonkrRoads the 2023 Legacy Touring XT is Cosmic Blue Pearl and I have a 2024 BRZ tS in Sapphire Blue Pearl that is to be delivered in August.
@@bruceobrown534 well played! I was wondering if my wife and I were alone in matching colors on our Subarus (gray). Any big plans for the tS when it arrives?
@@KonkrRoads I am not going to be allowed to drive the tS until October. I am having quadruple by-pass surgery on 2 August and the surgeon has told me 'No driving a manual transmission for 2 months'. I can't even drive the AT Legacy for 1 month either. I hope to be able to ride as a passenger when a friend of mine drives the tS back to my house and puts it in the garage.
@@bruceobrown534 Bruce -- best of luck to you on the surgery. The tS patiently awaiting you in the garage will certainly make a great get-well gift!
I couldn't give less of a damn about the dials. They stay on MAX AC and I only touch the speed.
Curious as to where you live perpetually blasting the a/c. Do tell 🤙
The fake engine noise lol With the stock exhaust it's actually necessary especially if you're wearing a helmet. But if you put on aftermarket exhaust you can and should dump it.
100% agreed 🤙
Lol. Love the farm tractor sounds.
My limited photoshop skills got put to the test making the tractor image too lol. Not quite a Picasso! 🤙
1. Road noise, changing tires did nothing. 2. oil burning 3. junky power train sounds 4. seatbelt chime 5. terrible brake feel under panic stop 6. Skinny slippery steering wheel 7. wheel hop is atrocious 8. No circular tach with traction aids off 9. First generation car had none of the above problems..
Which tires did you change to?
@@KonkrRoads PZero PZ4. But get this, I couldn't figure out why I wasn't hearing road noise from the back of the car compared to the front a month ago. Turns out me struggling to get up a muddy driveway left my rear wheel wells caked in an inch of mud. The mud was on their good and would not come off without a scraping ..Now All I need to figure out is how to get that same inch of mud in the FRONT wheelwells then the noise problem is solved.
@@Fghh108 LOL that's wild. Might have a million dollar idea there with mud-wrapped wheel silencers 🤙
Instead of the eject sticker you should have gotten the 6 speed gear layout so the subaru mechanics could figure out where the reverse gear is (true story) mod shift knob
LOL that's a scary thought when the techs aren't tracking the left-and-up reverse. Hopefully they didn't grind your gears (literally) 😎🤙
Excellent video (subscribed). I have a 23 BRZ WRB. Love it. What are your thoughts on a set of high quality lowering springs (Tein H Tech)? Just going for the aesthetics, but would that just nullify the engineering that went into the stock suspension? Also, I love the signal stalk. Second nature after a week and no clicks! Also running the Borla S-Type exhaust. Wonderful.
Do you have the Borla S Gen1 or Gen2? Lowering springs are a good way to go, you just have to be careful on how low, spring rate, and progress vs linear. If you're going for just looks, a progressive spring will treat you best as normal driving won't be too punishing. The Tein H Techs lower less than an inch and that maintains some shock travel, and they appear progressive in the photos with rates at 190lbs/in front, 258lbs/in rear. If these are the max rates you'll be ok most of the time, but at a 10% increase front and 25% increase rear rate over the stock BRZ, the big bumps you'll feel the added rate in your soul. These days OEM ride height is worth the very compliant and sporty ride for me. 🤙
@@KonkrRoads Thank you for the reply
@@KonkrRoads Borla Gen2. It's only loud when you want it to be.
