  3. Nailed it on this review! I have a 2014 BRZ that I daily drive year-round, track, drift, ice race, etc. and have loved it. The BRZ and 86 really came into their own after the changes in 2017+ The balance in the new cars is just about perfect. You can easily smooth out the torque curve and gain a little bit more power with an aftermarket header and a tune. Brakes are easy to make track worthy with high temp fluid and better pads/rotors too. I just swapped over the suspension and 4.3 diff from a wrecked 2017 BRZ, can't stress enough how well they perfected the suspension tuning on the refresh. You can make these cars into whatever you want to use them for. It's almost the perfect affordable sports car formula, and awesome that they exist in the market.

  20. A lot of people want to know - WRX or Elantra N? It's a tough one! Ultimately it boils down to how you're going to use the car and what you can find at MSRP, but here are my thoughts: -WRX For AWD & Winter fun. Fantastic Manual. Perfect for rallycross, ice racing, does ok on track with modifications (brakes, cooling). If you want a CVT WRX, I'd get an Outback Wilderness instead, just as fast but with more usability/off-road capability. Could use an exhaust, better brakes. Wouldn't mess with power too much, factory tune is fantastic (and more reliable). More fun in the winter. -Elantra N if you're doing track days and want serious all-round performance right out of the factory. Manual is fantastic with some shifter bushings, DCT is also really good, but has a recall right now. Elantra N feels better built and higher quality than WRX, tech is great too. All the exhaust, suspension tuning, brake cooling, etc. adjustability you'd want without having to go to the aftermarket. Less fun in the winter, more fun the rest of the time. Both look weird. Both have handbrakes. Both you'll love to drive.

  42. Re: the seat rattling - these press cars get driven by all types (and shapes) of journalists and are really put through the ringer. Clearly this one has been sat in by at least one (maybe a few drivers) who didnā€™t fit and broke part of the seat. I havenā€™t had any rattles or creaks on the multiple M3s and M4s Iā€™ve driven with the same seats.

  48. Highlight of the week in the Dark Horse: I wanted to switch the exhaust into quiet mode leaving the neighborhoodā€¦hit the menu button in my driveway and it took UNTIL I HAD LEFT THE NEIGHBORHOOD for the exhaust menu to load. Truly a menace, the new Mustang. I never really gave a conclusion in this video, so here it is - there are some notable improvements here with the Dark Horse. Steering is tighter and more responsive and gearbox tuning is a lot better on the 10-speed auto. Canā€™t wait to drive the 6MT Tremec TR 3160. Performance here is next level for a Mustang, weā€™ll have to get this out on track where we can truly explore the limits, cause it ainā€™t happening on the street! Now onto the rest - The screens look pretty badass at night, and definitely bring a cool modern feel to the interior. The menus, gauges, and animations are all really well designed and are beautiful to look at imo. I'm sure Ford will fix some of this with OTA updates but we experienced a lot of bugs with this car in the week we had it. Adaptive cruise control not wanting to work, exhaust modes not changing, proximity key settings absent in the menus that are in other Ford products (car would auto lock/beep every time after walking away and couldn't turn it off), and the worst of which was the touch screen that sometimes froze for 15-30 seconds when making menu selections. Sometimes the screen response was great, sometimes it was abysmally laggy. Interior materials have never been the Mustang's strong suit, but for the price tag here all the plastic (everything) is a hard swallow. C'mon Ford, you're calling it the Dark Horse "Premium" make us believe it. Alcantara wheel? Magnesium paddle shifters? Real carbon fiber? A lot of interior rattles too. Though these press cars are driven very hard. In the end, some of this could be chalked up to it being a pre-production car (not sure, we just assume most of Ford's press vehicles are pre-production with all the rattles they have), so time will tell if other cars show the same faults. The new Dark Horse drives awesome, but the devil is in the details.

You can watch my POV track lap of the base GR 86 here - no talking, just driving: https://youtu.be/2F3W3q-dFVA After testing all of them (new and old) throughout the day, the base model is my favorite GR 86.

  64. GR Corolla is a good time! I can't wait to drive one of these in the snow too. The base interior is pretty bland, I hope Toyota is able to produce more cars with the Circuit interior in future model years, that's a nice step up from the cloth and plastic in this Core.

  79. What happens when you push the turn signals to within an inch of their lives on a 2020 BMW X4M Competition? Do they explode and cause third-degree burns on your hand, grow nasty sharp pointy teeth and bite your hand off, or indicate to other drivers where you intend to go? In this video we find out. For full transparency - this was filmed using the oem recommended turn signal fluid, no high-temp aftermarket performance fluid was used here. Stunts were performed by a professional with necessary safety equipment installed.

  97. Nice little track battle today at Gingerman Raceway - first session out and probably the most fun few minutes of the day. Tires were a little over-inflated at ~40psi. BRZ is stock except for a -1.5Ā° camber alignment (2 sets of camber bolts) and Porterfield R4S brake pads/Hawk HP600 fluid (apparently not enough on this 90Āŗ day). Surprised at how much the car cuts power after a couple hot laps, doesnā€™t feel much quicker than the old BRZ after getting hot imo. You can see the power drop-off on the last lap. I read somewhere this is to keep cat temps lower? No idea what the Cayman is running, sounds nice though! Stay tuned for more videos on the BRZ, a Hyundai Veloster N, an AP2 S2000, and a 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. Enjoy!

  101. Nailed it on all the points! Btw I did confirm that the pedal dance to turn off VSC outside of +R mode works on the FL5. The sequence is: 1. Turn off e-brake and turn ignition on 2. Press and hold brake pedal, press VSA off, then VSA on 3. Put e-brake on, release brake pedal, then VSA off, VSA on 4. Press and hold brake pedal, VSA off, VSA on A little tedious but ideal if you want to track the car in individual mode with everything offšŸ‘

  134. I have to say, after spending a week with this Avalon, I REALLY liked it. Itā€™s one of my favorite hybrids, ever. Super refined, comfortable, and will get 38-40mpg all day long in the city, highway, everywhere. The powertrain is super smooth and torquey and the whole car drives and feels like a much more premium car. Hybrids usually donā€™t get me this excited.

    77
  159. Update after our week with the car. Key card/fob continues to be a complete nightmare. Substitute Topher just spent 15 minutes trying to get the car to unlock, gave up. We were about to text the fleet company that the car was bricked when we tried one more time 10 minutes later it opened up and worked fine. I realize there's a digital key, but It's 2025 and this is basic stuff that should work. Same thing happened to me earlier this week but I got it to open after only a minute of trying. You shouldnā€™t need an app to get into your car. I hope there's a fix for the air gap in the driver's window seal. Not sure how well it came through in this video, but it sounds like there's a window cracked open while driving. Other owners reported the same issue on forums, most seem to have gotten it resolved. Couldn't film a Winding Road night drive on the car this week due to an intermittent headlight error. Brought back old memories of my mom's 2002 S60. Reverse Camera is still a coin flip between full screen 360 cam and split screen w/the reverse camera. Having to tap the screen to access the reverse camera while in reverse was distracting/dangerous in multiple instances during our week with the car. Camera quality is excellent though. You need it because visibility looking back isnā€™t great. Driving dynamics continue to impress. Tons of grip, good chassis balance, but 22" wheels and wide performance tires decimate any driving range this would otherwise have with a 111 kwh battery. Air suspension (?) is constantly adjusting and making noise at low speeds. There's a lot to like about the way it drives, looks and feels...lease deals are even compelling. But for me, the positives are completely eclipsed by the fact that everything is so needlessly oversimplified and difficult to operate. I can live with the window switches but the steering wheel controls are just straight up annoying. Still, Iā€™m sure youā€™d get used to them with use and time. At least the screen feels like it is from this decade. Super responsive and pretty well designed with minimal inputs between menus. Still would be nice to have some more buttons in the car for frequently used functions. I appreciate form over function but this takes it too far and becomes a safety concern imo. Until cars can drive themselves this shouldnā€™t be the case. A couple of the issues we experienced are most likely specific to this car. Hopefully Polestar will address some of these in their future models/updates. I'm rooting for them, but I hope they read the room on some of this stuff.

  160. There was a lot going on during this offroad test so here are some final thoughts on this Bronco. The drivetrain felt awesome, loads of power from the 2.7 ecoboost, easy to modulate at low speed in 4 high and 4 low. The 10-speed auto really shined offroad too. Havenā€™t driven the automatic on-road yet so Iā€™ll hold my final judgement until then. The suspension soaked up hard impacts well but overall was on the stiffer side of what Iā€™d prefer. Articulation is excellent and the ability to disconnect the sway bars under load is nice. The 35ā€ tires were very impressive in the mud. Didnā€™t even care that it was there. The whole vehicle was incredibly capable and made easy work of everything we threw at it. Almost too easy! All the offroad tech works great and is easy to switch around on the fly. Personally I wouldnā€™t mind the added challenge of a manual offroadā€¦ There were a lot of rattles from the roof panels and (sometimes the seats) in both hardtop Broncos I drove. They only seem to show up over rough terrain. Somewhat understandable considering how it all comes apart to give you an open air experience. I wonder if the soft top would be quieter and if the trade off with wind noise would be worth itā€¦either way most off-roading in these will probably be done with the doors and roof off, as it should be! At the end of the day this is a hugely capable offroader. You can feel that itā€™s purpose built, and it looks it. I think these Broncos with the Sasquatch package are some of the coolest looking vehicles on the road. The new Bronco starts from a strong position and Ford will only continue to tweak and improve it with time. Also the aftermarket for these is going to be insane. Lots to look forward to!

  188. A couple questions I didn't cover in the video - Yes, you can opt out of the drilled access holes, but you'd be missing out on the most important long-term benefit of this rust proofing (and the Krown warranty https://www.krown.com/en/warranty/). The guys at Daily Motor were parting out a few cars this summer and I'm kicking myself for not taking photos of all the rust inside the doors, behind the fenders, etc. These were Michigan-driven cars that were rotting extensively from the inside out but still ran and drove great. You can't see a lot of this happening until it's too late, but the areas that are sprayed through these access holes are just as important as the underside, suspension components, etc. The holes wouldn't void any manufacturer "warranty" unless they become a source of rust, but Krown treats them and the rubber caps with a heavier compound to ensure they don't rust. Also since these holes are drilled behind door seals, trunk seals, etc, they don't see much moisture or exposure to the elements. Hope that helps!

  193. This video was supposed to be a proper off-road test of the GX 550 Overtrail. Unfortunately the course that Lexus put together got completely flooded and was a no-go. A week after this was filmed we were able to test another GX 550 Overtrail+ off-road in the California desert...stay tuned for that. Until then, hope you guys enjoy this first take for some info and initial impressions. Cheers!
    62
  194. And also, like many have mentioned in the comments - the Mazda3 hatch is also the answer! Drives better than both these options and is offered in a manualā€¦which I still hadnā€™t driven but I imagine itā€™s fun.

  200. Correction: it looks like heated seats are not standard on the SR5, you have to move up to the SofTex trimmed heated and ventilated seats in the TRD Sport/Off Road Premium and higher trims. This was a pre-production SR5, hence the discrepancy. Too bad, that would've been nice to have!

  209. With the BRZ sold and only having one car to test at our fall track day (M3), I thought it'd be neat to take the Volvo 850 R out for a couple sessions. After getting out of an adrenaline-pumping stint in the 500hp M3 Competition, driving the 850 R was mostly a yawnfest. BUT...an enjoyable time nonetheless. This is probably the only time I'll ever take this car to the track. The 2.5 hr drive there and back was a great reminder of how good the 850 R is on the street...and how I probably need something faster and more ferocious to bring to the spring track day...we'll see what I can dig up this winter.
    54
  210. I tried out the new GoPro Hero 10 Black for this review and it failed miserably! Apologies for the overexposure during the POV drive.

  229. Thought I'd just let you all enjoy the driving experience on this one! Here's the exhaust that's on Que's ZL1: https://www.shopmrt.com/Camaro-1LE-MRT-Version-3-Cat-Back-92U846-p/92u846.htm This is the Version 3 without mufflers - MRT also offers a muffled system with the V2.

  233. If you havenā€™t seen it already, hereā€™s the track test video (no talking): Circuit Edition vs. MORIZO Edition - https://youtu.be/lAFk_e_hda0 Full track driving review coming soon! One more note, we were at altitude (4,500ā€™) on a 90Ā° day, so this is guaranteed to be faster at sea level. Canā€™t wait to get it back home in Michigan, hopefully sometime this fall or winter, in perfect boost weather.
    48
  234. There's one coming. My wave was a day earlier than Savagegeese, but I briefly caught them at dinner the last night. So many YouTubers were there, it was great.
    46
  235. Correction: there IS a start/stop button but VW hid it so well we spent a whole week with the car and never noticed it. Everything still shuts off every time you open the door.

  245. Haha or maybe the pedal go-kart I had when I was a kid!
    44
  246. Had to go drive my momā€™s ND1 after reading this and itā€™s true! the BRZ doesnā€™t hold a candle to the responsiveness of a Miata. For pure driving thrills, Miata is still the answer
    43
  247. Heck yeah! Let's do Gingerman or M1 Concourse in the spring - we'll chat on ig about details. Really appreciate you letting me take it at M1 this fall, gave me a lot more context on the Elantra N's capabilities!

    43
  251. Nailed it! That pretty much sums it up for me šŸ‘
    42
  252. Correction: Weight distribution (front/rear) is rear-biased 40/60! Not 60/40.
    42
  253. I'll be releasing another video on this experience soon, but for now I wanted to share this clip of an instructor's thrill ride in the NSX. It's amazing you can get this level of ice traction from a set of ultra high performance all-season tires. Enjoy the ride!

  257. Went in and adjusted it to full brightness, will see if that helps!
    40
  258. At the time he wasnā€™t old enough to drive Porsche press cars, gotta be 25!
    40
  259. Update: on these new tires, the Ranger Raptor can corner faster around an entrance ramp than the 2025 Explorer ST lol
    40
  260. Need to straight pipe my momā€™s Volvo...
    40
  261. The Raptor is the only truck that handles like a sports car (on and off-road). Itā€™s fantastic!
    40
  262. This collection is incredible, heā€™s just missing an s2000! And yes, NSX and Integra Type R are coming šŸ˜Ž couldnā€™t pass those two up. Ranger raptor tune is a blast, enjoying the improved smoothness and drivability as much as the power increase
    40
  263. Re: traction control, deep snow/mud mode pretty much turns it all off šŸ‘
    40
  264. Thanks to Charlie for filming this session in the GT4 RS! Check out his channel, Daily Motor, here: https://www.youtube.com/dailymotor
    39
  265. Thanks, glad to hear! We have a lot of fun working together. Iā€™m glad he FINALLY started uploading to his own channel too šŸ‘
    39
  266. Ugh. This looks like fun
    39

  268. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
    38
  269. Yeah it would be nice to have a better refresh rate. SRT gets it right
    38
  270. Wicked cool!!
    38
  271. I was really surprised on that 48mpg number, itā€™s true this Avalon hits the mark. We have a Camry hybrid this week too, itā€™ll be interesting to compare šŸ‘
    38
  272. First Ford, first truck, first American car buy!

    37
  277. Re-uploaded with better audio - having to do voiceover on this set of videos from Autobahn Country Club, filmed over a dozen cars that day and remembering specs on all of them isn't in the cards!
    37
  278. The week continued, the mini kept switching between a 40s music radio station and NPR on startup. All car settings would reset almost every drive. I assume this is because it wasnā€™t signed into a profile. But still, that shouldnā€™t be happening.
    37
  279. Thanks to Steve for sharing his GT/CS with us! You can see more on his car here: https://www.instagram.com/tikbalang5.0/

  282. Rhymes with ā€œRhonda physic hype farā€
    35
  283. Original title was confusing, sorry!
    35
  284. We have one coming in next week! haha
    35
  285. Maxi
    35
  286. Oil temps were solid all day, never got over 250 with the oem cooler. Besides pads and fluid youā€™re track day ready in this new gr86.
    34
  287. The shorty gears make this near perfect imo, still what an awesome car
    34
  288. I also filmed a quick review on the AWD bZ4X here: https://youtu.be/4Ez1w4nOwu0
    34
  289. This trip was nuts. We'll try to top it next year!
    34
  290. hahah, awesome day!
    34
  291. Itā€™s a blast! Iā€™d like to drive an Evora 400 again to compare to this, but itā€™s truly a great sports car. Sad that itā€™ll be their last ICE one. Hopefully they keep it going for another 20 years šŸ˜„

    33
  296. lol, you beeped right at the moment the left turn light went green. Horn game on point.
    33
  297. What do you guys do with your cars in the winter...drive them, store them, sell them, bury them?
    33
  298. I was surprised - not a mark on the paint! Mudflaps took care of everything. Just some rock chips on the wheelsā€¦
    33
  299. New S class was a disappointment tbh. Cheap feeling materials, overly complicated infotainment controls, annoying safety features. It was too much tech and not enough luxury. This RR hits a better balance.
    33
  300. I stand corrected, thanks! You can add oil and water temp as widgets šŸ‘
    33
  301. There's one more in the pipeline, too!
    33
  302. Agreed, CS treatment does look better! I think I filmed this the day before the CS got leaked hahah. Had to cut out my ā€œsomeday there will be a CSā€ comment.
    33
  303. Tedward talks tire tech to TJ from Tire Rack and TheTopher tortures tires on the test track after a torrential thunderstorm!
    33
  304. Dude. Cheap cars, beaters, crap-cans are, by nature, pretty fun! You nailed it on the head with this one lol.
    32
  305. Iā€™ve needed to do this for ages. Iā€™ll do it in my Volvo!
    32
  306. Because this is $10k less!
    32
  307. Right now there isnā€™t a solution for the fa24 sadly. You could k24 swap it! But tbh itā€™s probably best to go with a previous gen car, Miata, or something else that has proven reliable for regular track work.
    32
  308. It sounds good!
    32
  309. Hey guys, regarding the lack of chimes/turn signals in this video - I'm not sure what was going on there, this was the only time it happened in the two days I had the car. Maybe my fussing around with the volume/reverse camera in the beginning caused a glitch. After I shut off the car and restarted it everything was back to normal.
    31
  310. BRZ is the jam!
    31
  311. Ahoy!
    31
  312. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
    31
  313. It's true! This, the BRZ/86, and WRX all retain just enough of that old-school driving feel.
    31
  314. Great looking TSX! I thought that'd make a fun cameo in the beginning of the video :D

  317. I think the GR86 is ultimately more fun to drive, especially at the limit. But this GR Corolla is really good. Maybe more fun when driven casually? Awesome daily. Canā€™t wait to drive one on dirt/snow too.
    31
  318. Bright brue blembo
    31
  319. This was a treat! It was also the first dedicated race car Iā€™ve driven on R compound tires. What a beast! Stay tuned for more track videos coming later next week on the C8 and M4 manualā€¦
    31
  320. 100%. Iā€™d argue the level of touchscreen involvement weā€™ve been seeing lately doesnā€™t even belong in a car that is light on autonomous driving and safety tech. Weā€™ve seen some manufacturers learn their lesson and backpedal to more simple interiors with physical controls and I hope that the other oems wise up and follow suit.
    30
  321. I just posted a WRX/BRZ comparison here for those interested! https://youtu.be/O2vvHX_aQx8
    30
  322. For $150k the Escalade V we just drove didnā€™t have super cruise šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø
    30
  323. Update: started it up this morning and it began reading scripture.
    30
  324. Update again: just opened the hatch to take something out and now itā€™s playing jazz inside.
    30
  325. oooh, of course - thatā€™s a classic bird of prey peck hole. Now Iā€™m sure everyone will want you to drive their Unimog, next time!

  327. Yeah, especially after driving the Santa Cruz for ~the same price, this was a winner. I'd even have it over a Telluride/Palisade.

    29
  330. I miss this MK7.5.
    29
  331. First road trip in the Type R & discussing my solution to the bouncy suspension. So I should preface this - the problem with the Type R damper tuning is that it adjusts depending on driver inputs; changing with cornering speed, engine rpm, etc. So you can be in comfort mode, steady state cruising, everything is fine, throw the car into a corner, show it some revs, and the dampers will stiffen up significantly. Just look at how stiff and bouncy the car is around corners in this video https://youtu.be/gUnCR3nD9GU (9:44) the best solution here is probably a good set of coilovers, but until then, thisā€™ll do. More details here: https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/active-dampers-too-stiff-disabled-them-with-cancellation-kit-very-happy.51831/
    29
  332. All the best cars usually sound a bit broken
    29
  333. Damn this was a fun weekend, wouldnā€™t have had it any other way! The GX (and I) do deserve redemption on test hill, however. Thanks for this video dude, see you next week!!
    29
  334. Dude this is all wicked sick. Also decorator Webb Bland as in the photographer Webb Bland?

  337. Iā€™m an obsessive compulsive billionaire who canā€™t stand used items, when a car gets dirty or runs out of gas I leave it by the side of the road and Uber XL to the nearest dealership where I buy my next new car.
    28
  338. Also this was on the stock all season tires
    28
  339. that 65-58 mph acceleration tho!
    28
  340. Another update: It's moved on from jazz and now is listening to NPR on startup. Carplay will connect, but not automatically, it'd rather play the radio. I think it really wants to be signed into a profile and it's acting out in defiance because it isn't.
    28
  341. Haha ā€œbot-early.ā€ Itā€™s a thing now
    28
  342. He was awesome!

    27
  347. Yeah I was really surprised how low the take rate is on the Camry V6. Toyota said something like 6%
    27
  348. From the man himself! Thanks Jason, great meeting you at the event.

  360. It's at the top, for sure - but BMW has this beat with their X5 xDrive50e and even Volvo 's T8 PHEVs feel better calibrated. I haven't driven the Q5 or GLE PHEVs yet.
    25
  361. Haha it really does

  364. Such a well balanced brute!
    25
  365. I havenā€™t seen an 850 thatā€™s been this well kept in a long time. Itā€™s lived a good life! Very thankful to the previous owners for their care
    25
  366. Huh? The Model 3 is quicker. Google it! It also weighs 768 lbs less than this i4 M50. The rest is subjective - imo the Model 3 handles better, and track mode blows whatever shoddy DSC Off tuning BMW did here, which btw feels very front-wheel driven and "safety first." Now the build quality and a lot of other things about this i4 M50 are vastly superior to the Model 3. However BMW is trying to market this, I don't think it's a competitor to the Model 3 Performance, maybe the Long Range AWD. I'm sure we'll see something else from the M division someday.
    24
  367. haha these old videos are fun to look back on!
    24
  368. April Foolā€™s Day
    24
  369. Yeah, I do - I had it aligned a couple months ago after the suspension rebuild but it needs another look. I also need to pick up some camber bolts and dial in more negative front camber
    24
  370. Ah ha! Now this is more like it.
    24
  371. 2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro vs. 2006 V8 Toyota 4Runner w/246,000 Miles - POV Comparison: https://youtu.be/ooY1Jeet6Vo
    24
  372. Yeah this was back in February
    24
  373. So what's happening here is a combination of things - the Bridgestone RE-71RS tires have too much grip for the stock suspension and it's causing a rear wheel to lift off the ground around tight turns. When that happens under acceleration, the torsen differential sends all the power to the wheel in the air and spins freely. It seemed to do this more on left-hand corners than right. The simplest solution would be to get a 1.5 way differential and tune the suspension from there. I'm going out to Gingerman Raceway soon, so I'm very curious to see how the car feels at higher speeds. I love the rotation and balance of the chassis, but feel like there are definitely improvements to be made with the suspension and most importantly, the differential. I love the grip and balance from the 205 width square RE-71RS tire setup. As Tire Rack proved recently, tire compound and wheel width are more important than sizing. A narrower tire is actually faster and more responsive on a narrower wheel. We'll see how I feel about that with square 205 width winter tires lol.

  374. You can watch the POV winter night drive here: https://youtu.be/n_Cbf88XEfE

  375. That's what Tedward said to me after he drove it, haven't driven an F40, but seems to be pretty spot on!
    24
  376. Absolutely.
    24
  377. Brian Do when it rains and when it snows!
    24
  378. I was fully expecting this to be $80k, but for a Land Rover $65k seems reasonable. That's right up there with high-spec Broncos or Diesel Rubicons.
    24
  379. Thatā€™s a tax deduction šŸ˜Ž

  380. It was named after Elon Musk's son

  387. I hear you guys on boost, but imo itā€™s just not worth the expense. Maybe the turbos superchargers for these cars have gotten better in the last couple years, but naturally aspirated the response and character of this engine is a little more enjoyable imo, even without the outright power. I would like to switch to E85 next spring, that might be the perfect boost in power with this header.
    23
  388. Closest experience you can get to a motorcycle on 4 wheels!
    23
  389. Tell me about it!

  392. Michigan: our dirt roads are smoother than our paved roads

  393. Is Polestar finally living up to their name? Because this is what itā€™d be like dating a bipolar stripper. So fine, but so many red flags šŸ˜‚
    23
  394. Gotta love these off-road trims saving the sidewall!
    23
  395. Right?!!
    23
  396. Thought about it last year!
    22
  397. 100%!

  398. No binaural audio on this one, the gopro audio makes me sound different lol
    22
  399. Want want want want want want want want.
    22
  400. It just needs some Benadryl
    22
  401. Time to start a car channel!
    22
  402. I mean the stock pads were pretty darn good on track, they just wore down after a few track days and cost an arm and a leg to replace.

  403. You can also see our livestream on the Bronco Heritage Edition here: https://youtu.be/sNaVrkjBOEQ

    20
  422. Like Sunday!
    20
  423. I think what they were going for was ā€œjacked and tannedā€
    20
  424. MRT used my car for the fabrication, etc. so they installed it in their shop in Plymouth, MI. They do customer installs if you're in the area!
    20
  425. That makes a lot of sense!
    20
  426. Would have loved to let Chris drive, but need to be 25 to drive a Porsche press car...he's gotta hurry up and get older!
    20
  427. Tiptronic is Porsche...Lexus is direct shift
    20
  428. Not gonna happen, wife isnā€™t about that minivan life!
    20
  429. The FWD CX-30 and its reasonable fuel range will be missed!

    20
  431. Also if they could throw in a Naturally aspirated V12 with a gated shifter
    20
  432. Honestly itā€™s down to FWD or RWD preference and practical needs like usable back seats. Both are fantastic options, you canā€™t go wrong šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    20
  433. The most impressive thing about this Grand Sport is that it felt 95% as sweet to drive on track as the Viper ACR.

    19
  437. I grew a face specifically for this video!
    19
  438. Everything is a bargain compared to that M8 šŸ˜‚

    19
  443. For wheel and tires, I still maintain that stock sizing is the most fun/best all around for the car šŸ‘
    19
  444. Agreed, probably couldā€™ve gone a bit lower. Those re-paved sections are slippery, too!
    19
  445. Same! Itā€™s just a little bit different and nicer in some ways than all the domestic Ford products
    19
  446. SOLD!
    19
  447. Luckily all the hard plastics are easy to clean!
    19
  448. Absolutely! Here you go: https://youtu.be/dBGfiG3CJjM
    19
  449. I sum it up like this: looks weird, feels good.
    19
  450. This one is literally for sale. To buy. Currently.
    19
  451. It is! Definitely still need to work on my driving skills in the sand but it is a lot of fun to drive around. Surreal seeing the lake over the horizon while driving in what feels like Dubai lol

  457. Joe Can't say I didn't try! šŸ˜„
    18
  458. Ryan we were running consistent 11.2s, someone ran an 11.1 earlier in the day. It launches hard and pulls strong all the way through the quarter. I'll be posting a couple videos soon here and to Winding Road, stay tuned!
    18
  459. Another cold fall track day, another drift video!
    18
  460. Ā @doberchicĀ  this car has been in development for a long time, but you never know about last minute supplier issues, layoffs on teams that QC this type of stuff, etc.
    18
  461. May the g-force be with you.
    18
  462. Makes me want to LS swap my house!
    18
  463. The interior spec on this is wild! Love it.
    18
  464. No comparison, this this this. The Explorer ST rides so stiff you'll need a good dental plan for your kids in the back, and their friends.
    18
  465. Loving all the GX fans out there! If you want to learn more about these 255/70R17 Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S Tires check them out here: https://bit.ly/2ZZm94R This is a pretty ideal tire size for the 460 imo, slightly narrower and taller than OE sizing, but still fits comfortably in the spare tire area (just).
    18
  466. Call me when we see more engine failures
    18
  467. With manual steering and a low ratio gotta have extra torque to turn the car in and get enough rotation to take it through the corner.
    18
  468. Agreed, that's it! I heard they did revise the intake a it on the ND3 so it sounds better in-cabin, but an exhaust is still necessary for these - it really transforms the experience.
    18
  469. Itā€™s a subtle difference, the tires are pretty heavy, about 24 pounds. But besides the road noise and the lack of performance in standing water I was really impressed with how well the car drove on the set up. It does feel lighter and more comfortable on the 16s. I just dialed in some camber in the front end so will have to revisit the track again!
    18
  470. That receipt was holding on for dear life!!
    18

    18
  474. I was definitely surprised by the grip levels! This '22 BRZ is so much better balanced than my 2014 was too, had lots of fun out there! An oil cooler wouldn't be a bad idea, I'd also probably recommend an oil pan baffle plate - that'd be a great mod to do while in there pulling RTV out of the oil pickup lol
    18
  475. This šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

  479. Last week I took the BRZ out to Waterford Hills for a track day - it's been a few years since I've driven this track, and it was a lot of fun to hustle the BRZ around here again! I installed an OEM Subaru Forester oil cooler, and that seemed to keep oil temps in a reasonable range (around 225-230ĀŗF, instead of 255-260ĀŗF). Very happy with the current setup, enjoy the hot laps!
    18
  480. Big shoutout to Midwest Motorsports Complex! https://www.facebook.com/Midwestmotorsportscomplex and https://www.youtube.com/@KAPSGarage for inviting us out. Also https://www.youtube.com/dailymotor for helping with the exterior shots. Enjoy the video!

  491. Hereā€™s the link to the WRX First Impressions video: https://youtu.be/6kcjkzFkYOU
    17
  492. Yeah Iā€™ll probably want to play around with the sway bars a bit. I never got steering rack bushings on my old BRZ but it might be a good idea on this new car. Once itā€™s off the squishy winter tires Iā€™ll have do a shakedown and go from there!
    17
  493. Shifting definitely keeps you off your phone, you need both your hands! Iā€™ve always believed driving a manual makes you a much more aware and focused driver.

    17
  501. You can watch the off road test here: https://youtu.be/xGj0zfzbZdo
    17
  502. For the record, the tires were barely worn after a full lunch break filled with sliding. Amazing!
    16
  503. At highway speeds the ride smoothes out a lot, but it's on the stiffer side around town.
    16
  504. I calculated power to weight and itā€™s shockingly similar to my BRZ šŸ˜‚ which just means you can enjoy that turbo straight six more at legal speeds

  512. šŸ˜‚ šŸ¤ž
    16
  513. Haha thanks, the goal is to be entertaining and get in some sideways fun, but honestly some of the drivers in this region (and many regions) can drive circles around me. Everyone who does a lot of these events can get to a good level of skill pretty quickly with lots of seat time and some focus/discipline. BRZ/86 is an amazing platform to learn on. Canā€™t wait for a dirt or snow event when conditions allow!

  516. Want
    16
  517. Awesome to hear. What sold me was seeing an early 2000s Silverado with 300,000 miles on it - completely rust free, the original black paint was still on the leaf springs lol. Driven on dirt roads in MI, taken to Krown since new. It just works.
    16
  518. Forza IRL! This is an awesome idea, I know a few people who did the same here in Detroit, can't think of a better way to have fun with friends on track.
    16
  519. Yeah, but realistically you can snag a decent spec on one of these for around $50k, and in the future theyā€™ll be even less
    16
  520. Oh man, best thing weā€™ve done!
    16
  521. Thatā€™s going to be a great addition!
    16
  522. Never. Instead itā€™ll be ā€œbought my 7th Miata!ā€

  528. Nailed it on this review! The 6-speeds in these cars are magical.
    16
  529. If you're averaging ~45mph for miles on end, 6th gear is what you want for fuel economy
    16
  530. Hands down more fun. GR has an awesome 6-speed manual and a killer AWD system, but if you're looking for grins this is the car. GR Corolla probably can' be beat in winter though, I'm dying to drive one on loose surface.
    16
  531. +Alec Manger Not sure anymore, the trans blew and the driveline was replaced with a LS3 and T56 :D
    15
  532. Recorded in binaural audio, wear headphones if possible!
    15
  533. Bahahah yaas that thing is awesome. You're going to be hooked on miatas now. I can't wait to get mine back on the road next week!
    15
  534. Itā€™s the bane of our existence
    15
  535. First
    15
  536. it's insanely quiet!
    15
  537. 100%. You CAN get aftermarket matte screen protectors, but itā€™d be nice if this screen was a little less reflective, especially with the white interior.
    15
  538. šŸ˜‚itā€™s just a grille
    15
  539. Oh, and I forgot - Ford, give us the new Fiesta ST.
    15
  540. Both
    15
  541. You've gotta drive this!
    15
  542. Update: wireless Apple CarPlay is actually pretty badass
    15
  543. Iā€™ve been meaning to get another Miata video in
    15
  544. Recorded in binaural audio, headphones recommended!
    15
  545. GT3!
    15
  546. Had to leave all that in šŸ˜‚
    15
  547. Youā€™re gonna need a heavy pour! Cheers šŸ»
    15
  548. I don't know if it's more fun than the F20C, but a K24 swapped s2k is still a really good time.

    15
  550. Thanks Andre! Always wanted to do this, hopefully it catches on, so much fun.
    15
  551. Haha glad you made it that far, had to come up with something entertaining to talk about!

  555. Yeszir
    14
  556. RWD in the snow is for the brave/slightly insane.
    14
  557. Here's the Veloster N track test: https://youtu.be/UAATJYqxitc and the BRZ's battle with the Cayman S: https://youtu.be/CoNYlZQ9mnU Also, this was filmed the week before Hyundai announced the Veloster N was being discontinued. Excited to get an Elantra N out on track someday and maybe redeem the BRZ a bit in the process...
    14
  558. Neat little CUV, but Iā€™m not sure which has a stiffer ride, this or the Focus RS!
    14
  559. Hated the Escalade, the Merc S500 was annoying and felt cheap, Silverado ZR2 was overpriced and generally a let-down, GTI & Golf R infotainment is a joke, MDX Type S was meh, never liked the 10th gen Si. Otherwise - Darren nailed it, cars are pretty good these days. Two people can drive the same car and get completely different experiences, but I'm not going to complain about stuff for the sake of it. You've got to interpret what you see and hear in videos to see how it applies to you and what you value in a car.
    14
  560. The hills are not jumps šŸ˜‚
    14
  561. Awesome, good to know!
    14
  562. Would love to, we'll see what comes along!
    14
  563. How does the new 2020 Lexus GX 460 Luxury compare to my 2012 GX 460 Premium with 150,000 miles? I paid $25k for my GX two years ago (May 2018). At the time of filming it's probably worth about $19k, nearly a quarter of what this fully loaded 2020 GX 460 Luxury costs. Let's find out how they both drive.
    14
  564. šŸ˜‚ off camera I drive like a granny
    14
  565. It was such a great vehicle. I let it go for $18k - a local guy picked it up and loves it! He's going to use it for overlanding, which is perfect.
    14
  566. BRZ Wilderness!
    14
  567. šŸ˜„šŸ˜„šŸ˜„
    14
  568. Deliciously thick, thatā€™s it hahah
    14
  569. Thanks, I appreciate it! Definitely have always put a focus on becoming as good as I can behind the wheel (for the camera). Always learning! I started out in high school with some autocross and rally-x, got into track days, then going to press events and launches at the track, always sought out instruction. Lots of sim racing too. Iā€™ve been a racing instructor for a few years on/off at M1 Concourse in Detroit.
    14
  570. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚comment of the week right here
    14
  571. Ā @aquaseventeen3721Ā  honestly, really enjoying the 850 R right now! I really want an S2000, but that probably won't be until spring.
    14
  572. It reminds me of old PlayStation cheat codes šŸ˜‚
    14
  573. Much more upright, more comfortable imo. Nissan has great zero-gravity seats!
    14
  574. To see if theyā€™re eww.
    14
  575. Hahah, no itā€™s just metro Detroit - everyone works for Ford, or has family who works for Ford and gets discounts, etc.
    14
  576. Havenā€™t driven a stock car on track, but the extra power, grip, and balance of this N was a riot! Definitely a nice improvement šŸ‘
    14
  577. Sweet, thanks!
    14
  578. Itā€™s a long list of YouTubers! Might as well just expect all of them to get one, like the GR Yaris overseas šŸ˜‚ And thanks, much appreciated!
    14
  579. Dangit, 50fps didn't get rid of the flicker! I was wrong.
    14
  580. Murphyā€™s law šŸ˜‚
    14
  581. BOOM!
    13
  582. Oh yes, it's good to be bad.
    13
  583. Yeah, they were definitely out of adjustment. I mentioned it when giving the car back after reviewing it. This has the full-LED headlights too, hard to tell here but they would be amazing when properly adjusted.
    13
  584. that was a moment lol...you can see halfway through I remembered, "oh yeah, floor it!"
    13
  585. Yeah I have a set of R888s with a ton of grip but itā€™s pretty boring to drive on compared to these stock tires šŸ˜‚ next up is a set of DBA4000 front rotors. That and another fluid change should fix the brake fade (at least it did on my last BRZ).
    13
  586. Oh man, I don't know if I could ever find another dragon like Igor - he was a special dude!
    13
  587. Dan is probably at home telling a light breeze blowing through the curtains to go ā€œeasy, easy!ā€ And upset about Brexit.
    13
  588. All I remember about this car is the deafeningly loud turn signal šŸ˜‚
    13
  589. Colin says itā€™s a jdm k24A. Different compression from the a2, believe itā€™s 11:1
    13
  590. Yeah, itā€™s a pretty odd size with the only benefit being looks, I guess. I wish Toyota would stop putting the biggest wheels possible on their highest trims, especially without a spare tire!
    13
  591. Compare this to the Polestar 2 here: https://youtu.be/T71zzvi1N3I
    13
  592. After a few drinks, itā€™s lookin kinda fine!
    13
  593. This guy is killing it too! https://youtube.com/@SlysdexicRacing?si=w7ulBLZQixP-h1RI
    13
  594. Now thatā€™s a power couple!!
    13
  595. Big shoutout to Chris and Steve for their help with scouting, filming, and spotting! https://www.instagram.com/alphaequipt/ https://www.instagram.com/rpmoffroadgarage/
    13
  596. Sports tractor!
    13
  597. Needed the space for kids + dog!
    13
  598. I'm excited about it, should be a good time!
    13
  599. Yes. Thank you
    13
  600. V8
    13
  601. 7am and Michigan pollen were not on my side this week! Haha
    13
  602. SO much better.
    13
  603. Agreed, itā€™d be the first thing I disable!
    13
  604. Props to BMW for that, itā€™s true theyā€™re all stunning.
    13
  605. 2021 Volkswagen Arteon SEL Premium R-Line - POV Review https://youtu.be/Iz61rEvh49E
    13
  606. Yeah, I've been holding off. Everything works pretty well right now and I don't want to give Ford the chance to mess it up lol
    13
  607. Yeah, I should have warmed them up a bit too before getting started. Lesson learned!
    13
  608. Our other press car this week was a Miata, itā€™s hilarious seeing them next to each other šŸ˜‚
    13
  609. A man with a camera on his face
    13
  610. E85 next season!
    13
  611. You were killing it by the end of the day!
    13
  612. Here's the full review & day drive: https://youtu.be/-EZ2p1BXNiU
    13
  613. Kona N, just for the thrills. But if you need rear seat room for kids, gotta go with the Elantra N, the Kona is tight back there.
    13
  614. Iā€™m going back home now I have a couple things I have a few to take home for you to take home if youā€™re still up for it I can drop them off to you if you want to come over and get them or you can just come over here and get them and then Iā€™ll just take them to the store and then Iā€™ll pick them up and then Iā€™ll go to the store and get them then I can go to the store and get the stuff and then Iā€™ll be home.

    13
  617. See the POV Offroad Test here: https://youtu.be/qnCKqymMm_E
    13
  618. Itā€™s just the enhanced engine sound in race mode, not a big fan of it honestly. Especially after hearing the new S3 last week which sounds phenomenal!
    13
  619. That thing came out of nowhere
    13
  620. Tbh itā€™s not a great choice for track work, but for daily driving and the occasional hoon it doesnā€™t get much more fun w/AWD.
    13
  621. I kind of wish we got some better reactions, but we'll be back!
    12
  622. Winding Road Magazine Gotta get Docta up to 100k subscribers so he can get his YouTube Play Button!
    12
  623. Cold.
    12
  624. This 2015 is the one to have! I drove a 2014 auto and thought, "this will be perfect next year with a 6-speed manual, better brakes, and magnetic ride." GM delivered.
    12
  625. Driver quality 3rd gen Viper for $30k and higher mileage 09+ Prius for $5k.
    12
  626. As soon as we can get our hands on one will do!
    12
  627. I have one right now, just filmed a video šŸ‘
    12
  628. Haha right?!
    12
  629. The perfect Civic Si review šŸ™Œ
    12
  630. Haha yes it is. I used to be able to take it at speed! No more unless in an SUV
    12
  631. Yes, every time my car gets dirty or runs out of gas I have my assistant go buy me a new one. Doesnā€™t everybody do this?
    12
  632. Ooo, good to know!
    12
  633. They were both around 75% šŸ‘
    12
  634. Yeah, that was some impressive driving!
    12
  635. So many versions!
    12
  636. I forgot about the Gladiator with the Pentastar V6! And I guess you could throw the Ridgeline in there too.
    12
  637. Thatā€™s true, for Michigan itā€™s probably overkill but elsewhere if youā€™re doing a lot of rock crawling itā€™s great protection. I wish they just wouldā€™ve put the valve stem in one of the larger spokes.
    12
  638. Exactly!
    12
  639. wrinkleneckbass yeah it really only drones when you floor it like a fool. Like I was lol. In real world scenarios youā€™d rarely ever hear it. Ps- this car drives really really well. Maybe my favorite hybrid to date.
    12
  640. DK is selling his Beetle! Asking $30k obo, shoot him an email if youā€™re interested. Serious inquiries only: bradstera2@yahoo.com
    12
  641. Letā€™s do it! I didnā€™t know the Elantra N was that much quicker than the Veloster N. Good to hear. We had a stock Veloster N DCT around Gingerman a few weeks ago and things got pretty hot after a few laps, but still lasted longer than a CTR would have. Excited to drive a manual Elantra N too.
    12
  642. on onlyfans
    12
  643. Oh yep - that's you!
    12
  644. Very rare and hard to find. You have to know someone
    12
  645. True! And they've cost about $35k for the last 15 years.
    12
  646. Check out the MRT Engineered Performance YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/ShopMRTUSA
    12
  647. It's not 100Āŗ out right now. 72 and sunny, perfect summer.
    12
  648. It depends on the day, ran at Gingerman on a hot 90Ā°f day and oil temp was creeping up to 260Āŗ after a few hard laps. Then did a longer session on a 65Ā° day at M1 and it stayed under 240 the whole time.
    12
  649. Oh yeah, itā€™s quicker and feels it.

    12
  652. Sup

  653. I copied the wrong monroney/info - thanks for the catch!
    12
  654. Get your next watch from Lewis Jewelers: https://bit.ly/49BbxfU Mention TheTopher and ask for D.K. he'll take great care of you guys!
    12
  655. We spent a week filming all sorts of stuff we canā€™t get out here in MI - Rivian, some exotics, personal cars like this. It was a fun trip, will definitely be back again to do something similar.
    12
  656. Prius is best car
    12
  657. Iā€™ve been trying to get one for ages, there just arenā€™t any in the fleets! Maybe Iā€™ll see if I can grab one at a dealer someday.
    12
  658. +CMTSUBR500 I'm Chris at WR, this is my personal channel. This video hasn't been uploaded to WR, though it's shot in the same style.
    11
  659. +P-Dub206 You won't regret it, the S3 rocks!
    11
  660. peguesemiles43 for some reason I thought there was more available in an additional power package on top of the S, but I think I was imagining things.
    11
  661. Note: was just advised not to run these on full soft/full stiff. Changing to 1/4 turn from soft.
    11
  662. You can see the POV First Impressions video here: https://youtu.be/qe57LNEZcmg
    11
  663. Here's more info on the Tudor Black Bay Pro at Lewis Jewelers: https://bit.ly/3W5yJzk Mention TheTopher and ask for D.K. he'll take great care of you guys!
    11
  664. Might do a tune, but right now holding my breath to see what comes out. Loved the OFT off the shelf tunes on my previous gen
    11
  665. That's how it was in the FK8 (and should be imo) but with the new FL5, the dampers will adjust depending on cornering speed, engine rpm, etc. So you can be in comfort mode, steady state cruising everything is fine, throw the car into a corner, show it some revs, and the dampers will stiffen up way too much. It's pretty poor tuning imo, so hopefully the Type S has an ADS module we can swap in that does it better.
    11
  666. I think for most people the M40i is the way to go, it's such a great all-rounder.
    11
  667. Check out the video on the other lifted/rally prepped BRZ here from @slysdexicracing2237: https://youtu.be/hfsWaLLWK_4
    11
  668. Wheel speed 55mph, ground speed, 12 mph.
    11
  669. What I went there for šŸ™Œ
    11
  670. Might have to do an infotainment shootout someday.
    11
  671. Just had a Forte GT last week to film, they're so much fun
    11
  672. Check out the Tudor Pelagos 39 at Lewis Jewelers here: https://bit.ly/3OXFcJ0 Ask for D.K. and mention TheTopher sent you, he'll take great care of you guys!
    11
  673. If you want RWD, go for a BRZ/GR86, if you want FWD, get the the Civic Si - simple as that!
    11
  674. You'll need both ORV and ORV Trail - you can order them off the DNR site or buy them at Holly Oaks, Meijer, or Ace Hardware, slap 'em on and you're good to go! Have fun!
    11
  675. I meant PRL REAR motor mount. A lot of you commented saying this is the mod to do to these cars and I agree - much better shift feel, and more raw/direct character from the motor. Nvh tuning is spot on imo, with cold starts being the only point where thereā€™s a little too much vibration in the cabin. Overall really happy with it in combination with the drop in filter and the type S ADS module.
    11
  676. That wouldā€™ve been šŸ¤Œ
    11
  677. Ā @TedwardDrivesĀ  purely selfish reasons...I just wanted more tedward uploads šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    11
  678. Unpredictable pops are good pops!
    11
  679. Except the Camry V6 and itā€™s horrible 8-speed tuning, CH-R why does it exist, regular non-hybrid RAV4 4 cylinder of marbles, Tacoma with the asthmatic Atkinson cycle V6, but yeah everything else is pretty good.
    11
  680. Thought youā€™d like this one!
    11
  681. In a month youā€™ll need a Raptor just to get around without bending a wheel
    11
  682. Iā€™ll do my best. Pedal cams can be tricky to safely mount the camera (depending on the car). I will definitely keep it in mind in the future.
    11
  683. Hi
    11
  684. Yes, but only when I accept a prestigious award in front of a large audience full of important people...ā€and last, but not least, Iā€™d like to give a shoutout to shit stain. Without him and those like him, none of this wouldā€™ve been possible. You know who you are, everyone letā€™s put our hands together for our dearest shit stain.ā€ Peace āœŒļø
    11
  685. The snow/offroad video already went live, here's the link: https://youtu.be/uC1nv9HGHo4
    11
  686. Unless if youā€™re drifting, I think the Elantra N is more fun, more of the time šŸ‘
    11
  687. I vote WRX!
    11
  688. I paid around $200 from Acura parts for less Would highly recommend it! When I ordered the part was backordered for a couple months but worth the wait.
    11
  689. Probably because both Doug and his dog are 6ā€™4
    11
  690. Watch the Hybrid MAX Platinum AWD first impressions video here: https://youtu.be/iKQYBM5ooLI
    11
  691. I still want an S2000 someday. But honestly am going to keep enjoying what I have. I think this BRZ is just as fun to drive as any of the other options out there, so I might as well keep it. Itā€™s paid off, cheap to run and maintain, and it does good skids.
    11
  692. I feel slightly better about driving it like this in low grip because itā€™s not seeing a lot of high g cornering (oil starvation) and itā€™s not getting hot. That said time will tell how it holds up!
    11
  693. I added it up the other day, it's roughly around $5,000 since I got the car in October. That includes up all the mods, maintenance updates, parts, and labor. I'm holding onto this one!
    11
  694. Itā€™s very close, almost identical to the Bronco Raptor, but with slightly longer exhaust piping.
    11
  695. Here are the bZ4X video links for comparison: 2023 Toyota bZ4X All-Electric SUV (FWD Limited): https://youtu.be/mrktYHIDv2M 2023 Toyota bZ4X All-Electric SUV (AWD Limited): https://youtu.be/4Ez1w4nOwu0
    11
  696. Yeah, you don't buy a Bronco or Wrangler for the quiet cabin
    11
  697. Dadward!
    11
  698. Oh yes
    11
  699. A hellcat smoking a pipe? šŸ§
    11
  700. Haha sometimes I wish šŸ˜‚
    11
  701. Hahah big time!
    11
  702. Winter tires are definitely quieter! I drove this off the dealer lot on Blizzaks and was surprised how loud the Primacys were haha. The tradeoff is worth it with some performance tires, but not with the PS4s imo - they're deafening in the GR86/BRZ!
    11
  703. I've thought about this, it'll be ok. The drive to and from the track on I94 was rougher than anything the car saw in the dirt. Everything here was low g, so no chance of oil starvation, and low stress on the motor, because low traction. It's coated with Krown rust control so it's not going to rust. That also keeps all the rubber bushings well lubricated. It's RWD, so those rear wheels aren't kicking dirt/rocks anywhere but out the rear end. The front tires are just rolling, so not actively slinging as much mud/debris back into the chassis as they would with AWD/4WD. I'll change out the air filter and oil more frequently, but honestly driving this around in the winter and on potholed Michigan roads as a daily is more abusive to this car. I'd be more concerned about buying a BRZ that gets tracked regularly.

  704. Definitely, the one write-up on those springs was with the performance dampers.
    11
  705. Agreed, white definitely wouldnā€™t be my first pick. Especially for the added cost
    11
  706. In the garage first thing in the morning itā€™s gnarly!
    11
  707. The GoPro Hero 12 does struggle a bit with low-light, that's probably what you're noticing. Usually I film night drives with the DJI Osmo 4
    11
  708. However, itā€™s not boring!
    11
  709. Itā€™s faster than a Lamborghini now

  714. Civic videos are up next week!
    10
  715. Haha awesome! I was wondering who you guys were. Nice Miata too šŸ‘. Were you setting up a telescope or something? And thanks, good to hear!
    10
  716. oh, this for sure

  717. Go check out and subscribe to Daily Motor, here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw3Dp6cTx78WSIdMKJF252A Charlie and I first met back when I was shooting at Car and Driver, and now he now schedules all of the press cars for Winding Road and this channel. We have lots of good stuff planned for this spring and summer!
    10
  718. Snow tires go on this week!
    10
  719. Agreed, youā€™re not sacrificing any power and this has all the sex appeal you could want imo. If you like turbo noises and can do without a V10 or V8 itā€™s a good option!
    10
  720. Itā€™s true, this was all voiceover. I could barely hear myself think inside the sxs it was so intense. Haha glad the voiceover sound quality is convincing!

    10
  723. I totally read this as ā€œI love your brz pov videos the moistā€ YouTube comments are messing with my head...
    10
  724. Yes, every off-road course designed for journalists is pre-tested by a grandma in a 1995 Toyota Camry LE.

  725. For those interested, hereā€™s the Mustang video! 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback - POV Quick Drive https://youtu.be/VV60FS0A3Pk

  726. Just got it installed a couple weeks ago! It's perfect, how the suspension should've been setup in the Type R. I'll have a video coming in the next few weeks!
    10
  727. Filming that this weekend!
    10
  728. 91+ octane fuel produces more power in the Mustang than 87.
    10
  729. Doors are overrated!
    10
  730. Looking back on that, I think most of it boils down to the engine sound of the last gen vs this one. The analog gauges had a certain appeal too, but ultimately the sound can be fixed with an exhaust etc
    10
  731. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜„šŸ¤”šŸ’€
    10
  732. What's that repetitive clicking noise at 2:37?
    10
  733. Yeah, lesson learned- going with Paragon R5 pads up front next year
    10
  734. Go with a GR86 if you donā€™t want to become bankrupt šŸ˜‚
    10
  735. Always wanted to drive a manual e92! This one sounds great, doooo iiiiiiiittttt.
    10

    10
  740. Itā€™s no longer slower than the Miata!
    10
  741. Not going to worry about it until we have more data on the extent of the issue. That 5 year 60k powertrain warranty helps me sleep at night!
    10
  742. Itā€™s going to be wild
    10
  743. For the automotive equivalent of Tiger King, follow Vehicle Virgins and DailyDrivenExotics! šŸ’€
    10
  744. Oh man, this thing was so fun. Iā€™d put it even with my BRZ for thrills on track. Itā€™s a different experience for sure, very quick, and I do love fwd. I wish it rotated a bit more off throttle, but that does make it more approachable. I was fighting it all day, and the BRZ is just so connected. Very different experiences for sure, both with a lot of smiles!
    10
  745. the only cruel thing is the bad music I made him listen to ;) but that cage was too small for him. shortly after I made this video I found him a 24x25x48" tank. I try to give my pets the best care I can afford, there's no cruelty in that. not to mention that I adopted this lizard from a buddy whose mom was about to throw it out on the street. There aren't many options here in Michigan.

  749. Cramped, scared of braking, and rich.
    10
  750. Thanks Michael, appreciate it!
    10
  751. Walking the course helps, but gotta keep your eyes up, looking ahead. Rallycross courses are a little easier to follow but sometimes autocross can seem like a sea of cones on camera. Itā€™s easier to follow in real life and with a few events under your belt.
    10
  752. The street pov is up! https://youtu.be/-jphoGYq1tI
    10
  753. Trying to spread all the Z vids out a bit šŸ˜
    10
  754. Absolutely.
    10
  755. The M2ā€™s the better manual, Iā€™d pick that
    10
  756. knock on wood, no high speed crashes. I mostly ride on mtb trails to keep speeds down (and avoid traffic).
    10
  757. Yeah I had to cut out some inappropriate sounding ā€œughhhā€™sā€ from this one
    10
  758. Haha the BRZ needs redemption vs. a Hyundai N product!
    10
  759. You can turn the sound off in the menu, forgot to mention that.

    9
  767. Lexus RC F? šŸ§
    9
  768. Thatā€™s what I was wondering!
    9
  769. It couldnā€™t. But it always makes me happy to see this comment. Usually itā€™s a Camry, driven by a grandma, but close enough!
    9
  770. 16s are perfect for winter. Would recommend a slightly narrower and taller tire 205/60r16 is perfect

  774. Going down hills/mountains/Sabine racing on the Nurburgring

  777. HARRY I NEED NOS!
    9
  778. Zero. Mudflaps took it all
    9
  779. Haha yep, fixed it
    9
  780. I kinda prefer the way the AWD Camry drives compared to the RAV4. But I'd probably take the RAV4 Hybrid over all of them.
    9
  781. I care xander, I care.
    9
  782. Switching between drive and manual mode, but probably wishing I had a 6-speed šŸ˜
    9
  783. Every. Single. Time. We usually get half a day of dry track, which Iā€™ll take
    9
  784. Had that thought too for a second šŸ˜‚
    9
  785. Testing the Tundra right now!
    9
  786. There was a Mirage in the press fleets a few years ago, but everyone was so mean to it Iā€™m pretty sure Mitsubishi pulled it haha, always did want to drive one.
    9
  787. Not a single neighborhood in this video. All industrial parks early on a Sunday morning (businesses closed).
    9
  788. It only cost $50 and a nitrile glove to fill this thing up today!
    9
  789. I'm sure they thought about it. One thing I forgot to say is that this needs a manual!
    9
  790. Haha this and the Type R were equally as fun to drive on track imo. Both weapons.
    9
  791. The old BRZ.
    9
  792. Haha weā€™re used to being slower than just about everything except a Prius. And watch the next-gen Prius be fast.
    9
  793. That is a cool detail!
    9
  794. My old 225/45/17 Falken Azenis RT615k tires have served me well, but after 4 years of track days, drifting, and ~15k street miles it was time to move onto a new set. I've always really enjoyed the Direzza Z1 and Z2 Star Spec tires on my Miatas, but have never run a set on the BRZ. I decided to go back to the stock size 215/45R17 Direzza ZIII tires on my SSR GT2 17x7.5 wheels. In this hot lap I managed to get back in the 1:49s around Gingerman, which I'm pleased with (but still with room for improvement). Stay tuned for more BRZ videos coming soon...until then, if you want to learn more about the Direzza ZIII, check them out on Tire Rack here: https://bit.ly/2WdzwAZ
    9
  795. My MK6 was rock solid (zero issues) until I sold it at 77k miles, but I drove it hard. I think that's the key.
    9
  796. Sweet! And thanks šŸ™Œ I never had an issue with carbon build up in my MK6 but I drove it long distances and with higher revs once it warmed up. Short trips can be a different story. The Mach 1 is amazing, only drove it briefly on track but itā€™s nearly a perfect mustang formula. Until then keep enjoying your Focus RS!
    9
  797. That was last year!

  800. You can see the full review here: https://youtu.be/R4cg16Vy-bk
    9
  801. The ZR2 Bison does!
    9
  802. Forreal! The S2000 AND the Cayman both had seized idler pulleys, cayman was able to roadside repair, couldnā€™t get the right part for the s2kā€¦STI blew a motor, another STI cracked a rotor, GR Corolla started sounding unhappy in 3rd gear so we parked it. It was carnage lol and this is all out of ~ 10 cars there
    9
  803. That would be cool, but it'd be heavy, more expensive, and slower w/the drivetrain loss.
    9
  804. The LC is quite a bit more refined. But doesnā€™t really work on track that well. I imagine this will hold up a lot better, being an F product. This RC F is a great all-rounder. Not the best at anything, but I think would be a joy to own. Also Lexus just needs to come on out with the LC F!
    9
  805. Holy shit Eddy got lucky
    9
  806. Some say heā€™d short circuit, start to spark, and then go try to drift while handcuffed.
    9
  807. Itā€™s such a cool little easter egg in Toyota products.
    9
  808. Agreed!
    9
  809. Ah, that's right - they must have swapped them out for the winter tires, the Monroney had the 23" wheels listed.
    9
  810. Hi Zachary
    9
  811. Corsa is definitely louder with a gnarley cold start. This is a lot quieter in all respects, with just a slightly more aggressive tone than stock. Corsa is too loud with a header imo, this would he just about perfect.
    9
  812. From what Iā€™ve heard these Rangers are pretty stoutā€¦but itā€™s Ford so who tf knows. Thatā€™s why thereā€™s a warranty!
    9
  813. Itā€™s true, super easy to work on/access things, itā€™s great
    9
  814. Sup

    9
  816. Sweet! Iā€™m sure weā€™ll bump into each other at some point. Is there still a drift practice at Clio in the summer?
    9
  817. Tough choice, gotta factor in price, warranty, personal preference...
    8
  818. I probably won't be stripping much out because the girlfriend really enjoys riding in it. Also, it's such an enjoyable car to drive on the street that I'd like to keep some if not most of the creature comforts. Who knows if I'll feel the same way by the end of the summer, but that's where I stand right now.
    8
  819. Yes, this is my personal channel - sometimes I upload personal videos that I shot which you might see some of on WR TV...hence some of the cross uploads.
    8
  820. Love the way this thing drives. Except for the offerings from AMG, this might be one of the sweetest sports sedans on the market. For around $60k with a few miles on it, it's a steal and will only get better.
    8
  821. Hey, if you're happy with it - that's all that matters! I've seen two people come out of the exact same car and have completely opposite opinions based on their preferences, past experiences, etc. Congrats on the car!
    8
  822. +James Zanghi it was just stuff I picked up at the local hardware store. Basically you need to firmly attach 2 U-bolts to a round roll bar and then the fork mount to that and you're all set!
    8
  823. The Koni shocks are awesome for MI roads, which are just about as bad as NY roads. The best way I can describe it is, a more "sophisticated" ride. It's borderline comfortable, with more mechanical grip and better overall stability.
    8
  824. If I didn't want RWD (and a BRZ) so badly, I would've sprung for a Fiesta ST in a heartbeat. After spending a week with one a couple years ago, it only got better the more I drove it and lived with it. My only gripe was how over-damped and harsh the stock suspension was on MI roads, but that's an easy fix with more sophisticated dampers or coilovers. Also, stock brakes were incredible from 60-0. These little cars get under your skin!
    8
  825. I asked Cobb about this, and they don't recommend adding E85 to increase octane. If you only have access to 91, run the 91 tune.
    8
  826. Yeah, what the heck is that about!?
    8
  827. The Ranger is much faster with the 2.7 but the Colorado is more comfortable and feels more refined. Lowest trim Iā€™ve driven in the Colorado is the trail boss and it was awesome.
    8
  828. That's one reason why I love my BRZ - it's just that perfect blend of lightweight flickability and fun to drive factor!
    8
  829. Nope, be bold, be gold!
    8
  830. He's got a guy well-versed in E46s who helps out.

  834. Using the DJI Osmo 5 now for most videos, the image quality is next level vs. the GoPro imo

    8
  841. Thatā€™s a good point, youā€™re right!
    8
  842. That and brake fluid will be the first thing I do come spring!
    8
  843. Groundhog!
    8
  844. Absolutely. Imo itā€™s the most fun to dollar ratio there is! The 4 seater talon had a little more trouble with break over angle because of its longer wheelbase but we havenā€™t run into any issues with clearance on the two seater. The extra width and stability with the 1000R is worth it. The 6-speed DCT is a lot of fun too. Half rally car half rock crawler!
    8
  845. Didnā€™t even do any trailer drifting!
    8
  846. šŸ’€
    8
  847. 10-speed has been really smooth, no complaints.
    8
  848. Iā€™m 5ā€™10 and very comfortable! The wheel doesnā€™t telescope out as much as taller drivers would probably like, but for me itā€™s perfect. There are some great aftermarket steering wheel spacers out there that solve that problem.
    8
  849. GoPro hero 8 black! Best gopro ever šŸ‘

    8
  852. I think about this all the time lol. The 86/BRZ is honestly one of the last pure raw driverā€™s cars on the market, and Iā€™ve often thought that if I had to replace it, Iā€™d just get another newer one. My favorite thing about it has always been that I donā€™t feel like I have to baby it. I think thereā€™s a freedom and enjoyment there that may be absent in more expensive cars. You already have a Type R, thatā€™d be my next suggestion. But beyond looking at another new 86 or BRZ (the performance package cars are the sweet spot imo) next on my list would be a Challenger Scatpack Widebody. Different beasts, but I love that thing. Theyā€™re awesome on the track and make for really entertaining daily drivers. They can take a beating too. It drives like a big Miata. Alternatively, the Alfa Romeo 4C is about as raw as it gets, but unfortunately witout a manual. The manual steering makes up for it though... Alfa is rolling out a CPO program too. I donā€™t know why Iā€™m not more excited about the new Miata. If I wanted another one Iā€™d just get a PRHT NC2 and set it up as a big grip car for half the cost of a new ND. The Camaro ZL1 is a good option too, but havenā€™t driven any of the new ones except for an SS, and I vastly prefer the challenger. The new Mustang is numb, the GT350 is good, but Is probably a ticking time bomb if you drive it hard. Honestly itā€™s either 86 or 911 GT3 lol.
    8
  853. It's a lot of fun! I need to see which is faster on the trails, EUC or MTB. I ride a Trek Farley 9.6 in the winter and a Niner Jet 9 carbon the rest of the year. Haven't been able to ride as much the last year or two, but I'm getting back into it this season now that we're finally seeing some freezing temps. I might do a MTB review or two when I'm back in shape, that'd be fun!
    8
  854. Haha I was just thinking about this yesterday after looking at everything in the driveway on the smallest possible wheel options šŸ˜„ #savethesidewall
    8
  855. Where are you located? And agreed, itā€™s not worth upgrading to this if you already have an ND. Aftermarket support is so good you can get close with just a couple suspension changes šŸ‘
    8
  856. Oh sweet, good to know šŸ‘
    8
  857. A little bit of both, but Iā€™ve always wanted a Ranger raptor! Got another kid on the way next month so I wanted something that could do family duty as well.
    8
  858. That seems to be the typical experience of all the lower mileage owners I know!

  864. Check out Tedwardā€™s video on the Pilot TrailSport here: https://youtu.be/BB0HgzhFHGk
    8
  865. Yeah I probably would recommend it over the CX-30. The only big drawback is the road noise but everything else considered itā€™s a better all-round car
    8
  866. I just counted it up, we have 21 hellcat videos on the WR channel. Go watch all those and then come back! lol
    8
  867. ZL1 is so good. The speed scares me a bit on the track tbh. Weā€™ll see how the SS 1LE shakes out this summer
    8
  868. Nope, the Miata is amazing. I was seriously thinking about buying one instead of the BRZ, but needed more of a one car solution.
    8
  869. Cool! Ogh man canā€™t imagine what such a mint AP1 would feel like. Congrats on the purchase!

    7
  897. Driving a manual this week! Iā€™ll let you know if I survive!
    7
  898. This sounds like a really good video topic. Iā€™d probably swing for a newer CPO 86 or BRZ if I were starting fresh. Depends on a lot of factors though, but the new cars are really the ones to go for.
    7
  899. Agreed. I was surprised how well they performed against other cars running blizzaks. Maybe I got lucky getting an earlier run, but Iā€™ll take the class win on the Pirellis.
    7
  900. That's the torsen rear diff spinning up while the rear tire is lifting off the ground. Pretty wonky handling in stock form with sticky tires!
    7
  901. The rattles are ridiculous lol but they all have them. After a while they all just blend together šŸ˜‚ thanks, itā€™s been fun to own a good one again!
    7
  902. Wicked
    7
  903. Definitely. Great! No rust
    7
  904. haha, that's a good question - from what I've found you can only charge on one side at a time.
    7
  905. Really excited to drive the Type S! Might have to swap an adaptive damper module over from one haha
    7
  906. Will have driving impressions on 9/14!
    7
  907. Got one coming in September!
    7
  908. From the factory with hydrophobic coating, horn, and active aero, definitely a force to be reckoned with!
    7
  909. Not after getting it rust proofed. Otherwise I wouldnā€™t consider driving it in the winter
    7
  910. I think the GoPro is better during the day. Just filmed a sunrise drive and the footage looked awesome, so each camera has its place šŸ‘
    7
  911. If you put your seatbelt on before you start the car it wonā€™t go off
    7
  912. Thatā€™s not true, the ND Miata and Fiat 124 Spider are based on the same chassis sharing a ton of components. Theyā€™re even built alongside each other in Japan. The Fiat 124 however does use the NC Miataā€™s transmission. https://www.redlineautoparts.com/blog/fiat-124-spider-to-nd-miata-compatibility-interchange-guide/
    7
  913. Yep, Motul 600 and porterfield r4s pads
    7
  914. I believe that is the compass! And the only reason itā€™s flashing is because of the cameraā€™s frame rate. It was cold this week! Our furnace went out last night, luckily was able to get it fixed this morning šŸ„¶
    7
  915. I'm not sure exactly, I'll have to follow someone or have someone follow me and film it/sync it up with my video and see how it acts
    7
  916. šŸ˜‚learn from my mistakes. Go with skinny and extra tall tires!
    7
  917. It really needs a Supra diff swap
    7
  918. Itā€™s made in Gothenburg, Sweden
    7
  919. Prius.
    7
  920. Completely forgot to mention that CVT WRXs have a different AWD system from the manual cars - Active All-Wheel Drive that changes torque split depending on driver input. Didnā€™t notice much of a difference in the real world between the two AWD setups, Iā€™ve found Subaruā€™s active AWD to work great in the snow etc. on other CVT models Iā€™ve tested. Hereā€™s the best explanation I could find on it, from Subaru: An electronically managed continuously variable transfer clutch actively manages power distribution and ensures that the wheels with the best traction receive more power. Power transfer is governed by slippage in the clutch plates. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls the multi-plate transfer clutch. Active All-Wheel Drive can adjust the power split in an instant, depending on many input factors. If the front wheels begin to slip, the TCM increases hydraulic pressure on the transfer clutch, reducing slippage of the plates and transferring the power to the rear wheels. As the front wheels regain traction, the TCM reduces pressure on the clutch, increasing slippage of the plates and transferring power to the front. The TCM monitors input from speed sensors on the front and rear drive shafts and also takes input from the throttle position and the transmission. All of these factors cause the TCM to select a software strategy that determines how aggressively it adjusts the power distribution. Active All-Wheel Drive varies the power distribution according to driving conditions. When throttle input signals acceleration, the system responds by transferring more power to the rear wheels to account for rearward weight transfer. When releasing the throttle indicates deceleration, power transfers to the front wheels to enhance braking performance. The system enhances cornering performance as well. When the driver lifts off the throttle and applies the brake to enter a turn, power transfers to the front wheels for greater steering control. As the car exits the turn and accelerates, power transfers to the rear wheels for added traction.
    7
  921. That was a great car!
    7
  922. Trades46 it does comfortable, quiet, soft, and efficient very well. My buddy just picked one up for his wife and it's perfect for their needs.
    7
  923. Haha thatā€™s awesome. I just figured ā€œthe people need more gr86 videos to analyze!ā€
    7
  924. It's pretty quick!
    7
  925. Itā€™s basically a Miata, until 6,000 rpm šŸ˜ˆ
    7
  926. Iā€™ll see if thereā€™s one in the fleet!
    7
  927. $90, thatā€™s it!
    7
  928. Eh, honestly itā€™s fine
    7
  929. Wiggle wiggle wiggle
    7
  930. Heck yeah! I may have just messaged you about an upcoming track day šŸ˜Ž
    7
  931. I donā€™t know why the Toyota CH-R exists, and this Subaru Ascent I have this week isnā€™t that great. More on that in the next few days. Camry V6, Explorer ST, Porsche 718 turbo 4, civic sport hatchback manual, and the BMW X1/X2 all irritate me for many reasons lol
    7
  932. Dude. So cool!
    7
  933. Chart port is the front Mercedes logo, completely forgot to show that!
    7
  934. Mad Pistol #collab
    7
  935. Go Jake!
    7
  936. The tank here is a 36x18x18, but I recently got him a 4x2x2ft w/sliding doors. It was very hard to find and pretty expensive, but well worth it. Right now Igor is about 22 inches...pretty big for a bd. I wouldn't worry about anything bigger than what you have until he's a young adult (around 14 in). Even then, if you make the best of the floor space and provide many high climbing areas, he should have ample room. check out- The Bearded Dragon Manual -by Philippe De Vosjol. Good luck!
    7
  937. Shoot me a message on instagram!
    7
  938. YES
    7
  939. They slop back into place eventually!
    7
  940. šŸ˜‚
    7
  941. Hereā€™s the full review on the new Frontier: https://youtu.be/i98WX1Gq0-s
    7
  942. Much more torque down low and continues to pull to redline. Iā€™d love to line them up sometime soon but until then Iā€™m saying the new GR 86 feels like a noticeably quicker car than one thatā€™s been tuned with a header
    7
  943. MC20 in the Canyons: https://youtu.be/FAa33qFqVQ4?si=s5YPHo6uNg06Ne3J
    7
  944. Iā€™ve been waiting for this one for a while! Now time to do the M5, M3, and all of Eddyā€™s cars lol. Iā€™ll get on the BRZ, 850R and new Land Yacht
    7
  945. The demise of the handbrake is the death of a long-standing mating ritual. It'll be a wonder how car enthusiasts pro-create in the coming era.
    7
  946. Proper stuff
    7
  947. haha, I do need to do a one year ownership review
    7
  948. When I first started riding it took a couple of weeks, but now I'll take months long breaks and these new wheels are a lot more comfortable to spend time on.
    7
  949. Yes, this has the new dual injection system w/conventional multi-point injection and direct injection.
    7
  950. GR86 with BRZ suspension šŸ¤Œ
    7
  951. Canā€™t go wrong with either!
    7
  952. Normally I would, but general consensus is that S2000 synchros don't like skip shifting, especially at higher RPMs.
    7
  953. šŸ§¦ šŸ¤” šŸ’”
    7
  954. It's true, this was a challenge!
    7
  955. You should hear the road noise from a $200k Porsche 911 GT3!
    7
  956. Woah, that's so soon! yes!
    7
  957. I agree! šŸ‘…
    7
  958. The Elantra N feels like in a class above as a performance car, if you want something that can handle track duty and is decently quick itā€™s hard to beat the N.
    7
  959. Probably going to go in a different direction than another lightweight high-revving 4-cyl. Weā€™ll see what the market does this winter, gonna keep saving šŸ‘€
    7
  960. Great lap Tedward!
    7
  961. Those Neons are properly quick!

  965. Pilot Sport Cup 2!
    7
  966. Dudeā€™s got a surprisingly strong grip šŸ˜„
    7
  967. Aside from power and ride comfort the GX 460 is still the better vehicle imo
    7
  968. With the 14Ā° timing mod they do
    7
  969. hahah, so much fun
    7
  970. For comparison hereā€™s the 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness - POV Review https://youtu.be/6H0rZIdSGCU
    7
  971. Same brother
    7
  972. 10 miles? 2700 miles and fully warmed up good lad!
    7
  973. Yeah, I did
    7
  974. Working on getting our hands on some N cars!
    7
  975. One will go up on the Winding Road channel šŸ‘
    7
  976. Nah, he just replaced it with something better
    7
  977. I'm surprised I said Passport at all in this video, I've been calling this thing the Pilot since it came out lol
    7
  978. Coming up next!
    7
  979. Yes
    7
  980. Next video I'm going to pronounce it all 5 different ways
    7
  981. Iā€™m not sure BMW makes anything as good as the E92 M3. Or will they. So, thereā€™s that!
    7
  982. Depends on where you live/what you're doing with the truck. If you're overlanding or doing more low speed offroading, the Trailhunter is probably the better option, with good underbody and side protection, front swaybar disconnect, the option for a 6 ft. bed, etc...however the OME shocks won't hold up to long stretches of high-speed off-road driving, like the Fox shocks will in the Ranger Raptor and TRD Pro. For outright fun, Ranger Raptor can't be beat. I've found my RR to have just enough interior room to be used as a family vehicle whereas I doubt you could make that argument for the Tacoma.
    7
  983. It definitely shifts through the gears. It's kind of weird feeling shifts while in EV mode, but it works!
    7
  984. That would make sense! I'm finally driving the Overtrail on-road tomorrow
    7
  985. Unfortunately we don't get anything from Seat here in the US !
    7
  986. DBeav97 itā€™s winter in MI, youā€™ll get mom cars and like it! Lol
    7
  987. I guess it does remind you to take your vitamin b complex

    7
  992. Video coming on that too!
    7
  993. Oof. It's so fun to drive it's more worth the MPG hit than some other off-roaders, but yeah it was not good.

  997. +DynamicsOfFlight The traction control in the BRZ is terrible. I usually drive with tracs and stability off, the car is so predictable and easy to control in the winter it's a no brainer. However, I wouldn't recommend doing that if you don't know what you're doing.
    6
  998. +Mike Cordova These tires kick ass in the snow- I don't even need sandbags in the deep stuff. I took the car ice racing through about 8" of snow at the end of the winter and it did great, even won the RWD class.
    6
  999. Very delicious
    6
  1000. You donā€™t need awd. Itā€™s marketing.
    6
  1001. It's psychotic, and I love it haha
    6
  1002. Filming a c7 Z06 soon!
    6
  1003. The Sentraā€™s handling is amazing for what it is, but this Corolla is close. Add in the extra power from the Corolla and this would be my choice between the two.
    6
  1004. Prius is your track car
    6
  1005. Itā€™s a race!
    6
  1006. Here's the link to that wireless Carplay adapter: https://amzn.to/3BhbgAR Update: Still working great after a few days with it. BRZ head unit keeps losing the USB connection, which is mildly annoying. Hoping thereā€™s a fix for that soon.
    6
  1007. Type S seemed a bit more planted, but Iā€™m sure it could be coerced with a rear sway bar
    6
  1008. I think they are! Pretty rad
    6
  1009. iHeart GT86 {KatyCat} itā€™s like a brand new car from 1997 šŸ˜‚ love it for that reason
    6
  1010. A tune
    6
  1011. Thanks! I never did a burnout with the Miatas, BRZs or S2000 so had to celebrate getting an American muscle car the right way haha.
    6
  1012. It's a perilous world we live in! Many more good times to come this spring, can't wait!!!
    6
  1013. After about 10 minutes of driving youā€™re good to go
    6
  1014. Many people did! šŸ˜‚
    6
  1015. Haha itā€™s both
    6
  1016. WRX is a force to be reckoned with in the wet, tons of grip!
    6
  1017. Oh, interesting, glad you got it resolved - in this case it was a rear seat alert message - just saying "rear seat alert active"
    6
  1018. You're lucky to have them!
    6
  1019. They love a scratch behind the ear!
    6
  1020. Iā€™m on a list, weā€™ll see šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    6
  1021. Itā€™d be Ranger Raptor or CT5V Blackwing. Cayenne S or SQ7 would be up there too!
    6
  1022. Dear Tedward, please drift around every corner like Chris Harris. Thank you and good day
    6
  1023. Iā€™ve heard good sounds with a resonator delete, but ultimately wonder if Corsa will come out with a system for the Raptor R. This is the one Raptor product that I could see the need for something beyond the factory setup. Ranger Raptor Ford Performance tune should be here soon! Then might swap out the KO3s for something else. Iā€™m torn between going with dedicated winter tires on the factory wheels or getting a set of Destination X/Ts which are awesome in the snow.
    6
  1024. Yeah Iā€™d stay away from Subaru and Nissan CVTs, Iā€™ve heard these Ford transmissions are pretty robust
    6
  1025. Thanks JƔnos, I appreciate it!!
    6
  1026. If you can walk, you can drive a stick!
    6
  1027. Way more torque in this new 2.4!
    6
  1028. Definitely considered a Bronco - pros to the Ranger Raptor are I can put bikes in bed w/kids in back, more towing capacity for sxs, S2000, etc, and much less noise on the hwy than a Bronco.
    6
  1029. Definitely! Hit me up on instagram @thetopher2 šŸ‘
    6
  1030. Nick Murray it is written that the driver must then purchase a Prius to counteract this phenomenon. Fortunately, the Prius and the M5 share the same Motor Trend figure 8 test results, so Tom wonā€™t be giving up performance when he drives in a figure 8.
    6
  1031. This was the first drive event out at Vogt Ranch in San Diego. Grand Rapids should still be fun!
    6
  1032. The 18s and all season rubber definitely helped take the edge off vs. the 19" PS4S tires. Less noise, fewer harsh impacts over potholes and rough roads. It wasn't a huge difference, but enough to make the car much more daily friendly while still retaining good handling. The only downside is it threw the speedo of about 2-2.5mph at hwy speeds. Disabling the ADS definitely made the biggest difference in ride/comfort.
    6
  1033. People have been overfilling the oil and adding accusumps, that seems to do it. But imo just introduces more points of failure/leaks. Many are tracking their cars without issue stock though.
    6
  1034. Thatā€™s sounds perfect!
    6
  1035. Macan S review is coming in a couple weeks! Then weā€™re supposed to get a GTS soon too šŸ‘šŸ‘
    6
  1036. Yeah, a catted header is fine
    6
  1037. Watch is the Seiko SPB411 Navigator Timer Reissue from Lewis Jewelers: https://bit.ly/49BbxfU Mention TheTopher and ask for D.K. he'll take great care of you guys!
    6
  1038. Yes.
    6
  1039. Well, really it's $31k-36.5k with the $7500 tax credit, which is pretty reasonable. Even this loaded Niro EV would come to around $40k, which I agree is pushing it - but press cars are always fully loaded to represent all the options.
    6
  1040. Itā€™s 4 lo
    6
  1041. That is the question of the day! Flip a coin hahah
    6
  1042. Haha we have one coming next week!
    6
  1043. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sometimes. Thatā€™s the case here, fortunately.
    6
  1044. Z4 or Corvette
    6
  1045. Your balance will adjust for any weight on your body. I frequently use these for the grocery run
    6
  1046. panbondzio007 I was curious too, it actually felt pretty natural. 1-6 feels like a normal 6 speed, and then when you're ready to shift into 7th, you just go up again and there it is. No funkiness, it's smooth, works well.
    6
  1047. šŸ‘ Between the reverse camera, big mirrors, and blind spot monitoring the blind spots are very manageable. I still want to put a on set of small fisheye mirrors but havenā€™t missed them in 13k miles
    6
  1048. Coming soon too!
    6
  1049. We've got one coming in soon!
    6
  1050. It was bad bad juju!
    6
  1051. Current mileage is 16,600, itā€™s a pretty even 50/50 mix of city and highway driving. About 25 miles/trip. Undercarriage is perfect a year after the krown rust proofing, would definitely recommend a thin oil-based coating for those in the salt belt.
    6
  1052. Hilton Schliemann sideways!
    6
  1053. Same, that's going to sound awesome
    6
  1054. As long as it has a 5-cylinder it can sound great. I actually prefer the way the naturally aspirated cars sound. The turbo takes out some noise, especially with the stock exhaust
    6
  1055. Only rode in it, but from the passenger seat, dynamically the Optiq was better than just about every performance gas SUV Iā€™ve driven. Itā€™s hard to beat that low center of gravity. This and the Macan tend to bounce around at the limit. Theyā€™re still fantastic for what they are, but canā€™t really touch the performance or capability of a performance EV.
    6
  1056. Really happy with the Ranger Raptor, Iā€™d get another if a piano fell on it.
    6
  1057. Impreza RS! https://youtu.be/BDNTFimr868 Should be getting into a 2024 Crosstrek soon...would recommend that over the RS
    6
  1058. Itā€™s wild, I still feel like Iā€™m at 120k!
    6
  1059. It has blue cruise
    6
  1060. Here's the link to the performance testing video - drag racing and brake tests between these three bad boys: https://youtu.be/-c5nULdokQU
    6
  1061. I donā€™t love it either but it does make sense for track work. I just wish you could customize which modes it turns on/off in
    6
  1062. Welcome to the future
    6
  1063. Hi
    6
  1064. Oh yeah. Go with taller sidewalls and a skinnier width and youā€™re all set!
    6
  1065. Review a car!
    6
  1066. Itā€™s disconnected, unplugged it the day I bought the car and havenā€™t looked back!
    6
  1067. Yeah Iā€™m about a month behind with uploads right now. Trying to get caught up with the weather!
    6
  1068. Integra vs. Type R?!
    6
  1069. No frunk, just plastic!
    6
  1070. Check out the Breitling Premier B25 Daytona 42 at Lewis Jewelers here: https://bit.ly/3MJwXyB
    6
  1071. Some say heā€™s a billionaire who only drives a car until it gets dirty or needs gas, whichever comes first.
    6
  1072. haha should've left it, "licking rear diff" could be a popular option
    6
  1073. These Direzza Z3s definitely buttoned down the rear end some. Like the guys at TireRack told me and tedward, adding grip usually increases stability (and sometimes understeer). The brz still feels really well balanced out here but isnā€™t as willing to rotate as it was on stock tires or the worn Falken rt615ks. Iā€™m pleased with how consistent and quick these Z3s are, however. Also love how they perform best at street pressures. Donā€™t even have to touch them!
    6
  1074. 230i seems like itā€™d fit the bill perfectly. Itā€™s not as tail happy as the Miata, but also not as buttoned down as a Cayman. You can get it to move around a bit - itā€™s a fun but comfortable daily! Did you see the track review of the 230i? https://youtu.be/qNQmJZ46gVk?si=7QVBsJc9bcpd_NB9
    6
  1075. Watch is the Seiko SPB411 Navigator Timer Reissue from Lewis Jewelers: https://bit.ly/49BbxfU Mention TheTopher and ask for D.K. he'll take great care of you guys!
    6
  1076. A Mazda!
    6
  1077. The limited has the same engine
    6
  1078. Thanks to Substitute Topher for helping out with this video! Check out his personal channel here: https://www.youtube.com/topherdrives
    6
  1079. That was the goal! The extra freedom you get from a little taller ride height is so nice. Less stress driving & exploring, really enhances the fun imo
    6
  1080. Half Armenian, actually! But lots of family in France šŸ‡«šŸ‡·
    6
  1081. Not for 2021, in 22 itā€™s coming!
    6
  1082. Passport will be in Puerto Rico, not sure what they have in store for us there. But it should be good! Canā€™t wait to drive that.

  1084. Big shoutout to Erik for bringing out his RX-7! Follow him on IG here: https://www.instagram.com/s2kerik/
    6
  1085. Yeah, I think I would - always enjoyed my time in these more than the Supra. But as always -go drive both and see what speaks to you!
    6
  1086. I use the hero 12 since it has better audio, but yeah the angle looks a bit different
    6
  1087. Oh yeah thatā€™s right they de-tuned it to 360. šŸ«  in the amg it makes 416

  1088. Very mild, just a little bit louder than stock, which is nice.
    6
  1089. I love the Veloster N but tbh think the Kona N is the most fun out of the bunch, even without a manual option. It adds another level of playfulness that no other hot hatch has right now
    6
  1090. Oghhhhhhhhhhh
    6
  1091. I've had DWS06s in the past and liked them, but wanted to try something different with a stiffer sidewall.
    6
  1092. We'll see! I haven't really been impressed with snow performance with any of the tires in this class, so here's to hoping these do marginally better with the more open tread design.
    6
  1093. Oh yeah, 100%
    6
  1094. Itā€™s true, as a daily itā€™s much more livable than the corsa, which I hear is even louder on the 2nd gen cars. That said though, I do occasionally miss the insane sound from that catback paired with a UEL!
    6
  1095. M5 CS!
    6
  1096. So fluffy. Want to cuddle it in bed. Was that too much sharing? šŸ˜¬
    6
  1097. Oops. They were bad. As in no more rear pad lol. Installed new rear calipers, pads, and rotors. All good now. Glad I inspected these myself, Iā€™ve been hearing ā€œbrakes look fineā€ for the last 20k miles...
    6
  1098. Check out Substitute Topher's channel here: https://www.youtube.com/topherdrives
    6
  1099. ...except that it isnā€™t available to buy yet lol
    6
  1100. Itā€™s all press fleet! We book cars through the same channels that the local magazines do - Car and Driver, AutoWeek, Motor1, etc.
    6
  1101. Rear 3/4s from the side looks pretty similar to a Bronco Sport
    6
  1102. Iā€™ve always heard great things about Nokians. Unfortunately we arenā€™t allowed to run studs on MI roads, but the ice racers are going crazy with 1ā€ studs these days! Grip for days.
    6
  1103. On dry pavement, definitely.
    6
  1104. Iā€™m a little partial to the AWD and dynamics in the RDX, interior feels a bit more spacious too.
    6
  1105. The MK7.5
    6
  1106. Yeah but you just adjust it at an angle and voila, the sun is blocked
    6
  1107. Probably not, but you have the peace of mind that the Honda was built in Japanā€¦instead of the Alabama Hyundai plant with child labor and racial discrimination šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    6
  1108. So annoying!
    6
  1109. Oh I had shoes on!
    6
  1110. Literally anything else will be quieter lol. Iā€™m a fan of the Continental options.
    6
  1111. Thatā€™s what Iā€™ve been thinking about, or the new Falken Rubitrek A/T

  1114. Theyā€™re great! A little numb, a little quiet. Need to drive a modified one
    6
  1115. Here's the full review on the Tremor: https://youtu.be/ZlWhw7Apaeg
    6
  1116. If you can put up with the rattles and road noise the Model Y is fantastic, especially considering the charge network. But the polestar feels like the better made car. Once they add CarPlay and android auto thatā€™ll help its case too šŸ‘
    6
  1117. A few electrodes, a pasta strainer on his head, you know - the usual mind manipulation methods...
    6
  1118. eWheels are better than hard drugs!
    6
  1119. 15.8 gallons in the CX-50, not too bad
    6
  1120. Hard to see in the video but the right turn lane had a green arrow.
    6
  1121. doing my best to block all their emojis and repeating names, but man they're relentless this week!
    6
  1122. If I find a clean naturally aspirated manual wagon Iā€™m going to have to jump on it. Few and far between these days though!
    6
  1123. Every mechanic Iā€™ve talked to would rather get a little dirt on their gloves than have to deal with rust šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    6
  1124. Maxim L. Unfortunately that's just what the shifter sounds like. It's terrible, imo.
    5
  1125. Recorded in binaural audio, don't forget to wear headphones!
    5
  1126. Aw, shucks - I'm not going anywhere! If you really miss me I've been uploading a lot to my personal channel here. I have plenty of new videos to upload on WR soon, too.
    5
  1127. This GLI is a lot softer around the corners than the GTI - definitely not as performance-oriented of a platform. The GTI is pretty sharp around the turns, I was impressed.
    5
  1128. lol, that's the perfect description for this channel
    5
  1129. They were new Dunlop winter tires. Sorry, don't remember the specific size and type
    5
  1130. Wheelspin in any gear is the Supra experience, for sure! Nice video.
    5
  1131. My only regret is not shooting at a higher framerate for a slo-mo replay lol
    5
  1132. Money Making Maniac Money Making Maniac Someone's jealous and wants Tedward all to himself! It must be pure torture watching these videos knowing that he will never be yours. I feel for you man. I can't watch any of Elisha Cuthbert's movies anymore for the same reason...she's just too bonerrific. I'll give you some love advice, when attempting to woo a Tedward, jealousy is not the answer. You must use underrated German horsepower and cunning wit. If I were you, I would pursue a more realistic lover that's a better match to a mental giant such as yourself. Ronald McDonald would totally suck your dick solely based on the color of your Corvette!
    5
  1133. subaruwrxfan You're right! I've mostly been okay with the level of power until taking it on these Kentucky backroads. The torque dip bothers me the most, especially because when I hop in my Miata it's so linear (and almost feels faster lol). I was thinking if a header is too loud for me with the Corsa catback I'd just throw the stock exhaust back on.
    5
  1134. Iā€™m not too concerned about it at this point. This is a classic case of something getting blown out of proportion imo. The oil pickup is 5-sided and would take A LOT of sealant to become clogged enough to oil starve the engine. Weā€™re still in the early stages of collecting data on failures, the extent of the issue, etc. The good thing is that it is now on Toyota and Subaruā€™s radar and Toyota has confirmed that theyā€™ll honor warranties on track driven cars. I assume Subaru will follow suit. If youā€™re really concerned, keep your engine stock/and or keep stock parts in case something happens. I havenā€™t heard of as many cases of excessive sealant in the BRZ for some reason, my BRZ doesnā€™t have any sealant on the dip stick whereas a GR86 press car we just had did have a small amount (6k miles). Weā€™ll see how it plays out but for now I wouldnā€™t let it ruin your ownership experience or deter from buying. Iā€™m keeping my BRZ and driving the heck out of it!
    5
  1135. Yeah, I was surprised! Toytoa should've made it stiff enough to hold up at speed, but not so much that it'll rip out of the bumper when it scrapes.
    5
  1136. Definitely
    5
  1137. Maybe Iā€™ll do some time attack in the Type R, would love to get out there on track with Jackie! I was thinking about tuning it mostly to improve on drivability, but Iā€™m pretty happy with how this pedal commander fixed the throttle response, so I think Iā€™m going to leave it stock. Might do an exhaust someday, but tbh Iā€™m very happy with the car as is right now!
    5
  1138. We had a press Ranger Raptor that was velocity blue, that's probably what you're thinking of
    5
  1139. Coming soon! Itā€™s been out of commission w/shifting issues. New clutch should be in next week and then will be back in action. I miss driving it!
    5
  1140. They should definitely add a warning beep to tell you that a beep is coming, and then another beep at the end to notify you the beeping is over.
    5
  1141. Iā€™d vote this!
    5
  1142. I'm keeping an eye on how many actual engine failures there are - but until we have more data/info I'm just enjoying the car.
    5
  1143. Trades46 I like the term "warm hatch," describes this car perfectly! I wouldn't be surprised if Hyundai eventually introduced more N performance models to the US market after the Veloster. We'll see
    5
  1144. We'll see if we can get something this summer, would love to
    5
  1145. Gotta baby those 1-2 shifts in the type r! They donā€™t like to be rushed
    5
  1146. Ford performance exhaust šŸ‘
    5
  1147. I actually got pulled over once lol, not for speeding though! He just wanted to know what the heck it is.
    5
  1148. TheTopher deep dive!
    5
  1149. Oh yeah, thatā€™s right!
    5
  1150. I was thinking that too, but AC has been good on some hot and sticky days here in MI.
    5
  1151. In the description!
    5
  1152. That pretty much sums it up šŸ‘
    5
  1153. Thatā€™s a good question. Iā€™d personally go Raptor because it does everything so well. But if youā€™re only driving on the street, Escalade V is the move.
    5
  1154. Watch is the Tudor Black Bay Chronograph from Lewis Jewelers: https://www.lewisjewelers.com/ Mention TheTopher and ask for D.K. he'll take great care of you guys!
    5
  1155. A few of those bumps hurt - BRZ felt 100% on the drive home, it's a champ!
    5
  1156. Had to re-film the driving portion and cut the second take in šŸ˜„

    5
  1160. Thanks to TJ from Tire Rack for this thorough technical discussion. You can learn more about tire rotation and see a slightly fancier graphic of the 5 tire rotation procedure here: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=43
    5
  1161. Nah, if anything I'd consider lifting it for Michigan winters and/or rallycross!
    5
  1162. Nothing too crazy, keeping it pretty similar to my 2014 build tbh. A few things are coming in next month!
    5
  1163. The manual BRZ and WRX have ACC
    5
  1164. Itā€™s hard to tell without hearing it but there have always been some funky noises from the engine and trans in these cars.
    5
  1165. Just had to get approval from Toyota, they were cool with it šŸ‘
    5
  1166. No adaptive suspension so itā€™s the same in normal or sport mode. It does smooth out a bit on the highway at higher speeds, but itā€™s definitely a sport-tuned ride.
    5
  1167. A solid choice! Did you order a 2023? Any idea on delivery time?
    5
  1168. šŸ™ŒšŸ™Œsweet! Enjoy!
    5
  1169. Puerto Rico!
    5
  1170. You might be able to fit aftermarket 18s on the RS3, but youā€™re right, no factory option that I know of. Just get that wheel and tire insurance! And have a good spare on hand.
    5
  1171. Hero 11
    5
  1172. TheSoccerbeast13 the heater will only take about 30 seconds to fully turn on, and youā€™ll start to get warm air by the end of your driveway šŸ‘
    5
  1173. It does look really sharp in person
    5
  1174. Oops!
    5
  1175. If it had a manual!
    5
  1176. does it hit 60 in 2nd?
    5
  1177. Eh, it would look cooler, but very impressed with the traction from these Destination X/TS, better in the snow than KO2s and did great in the mud. Anything more aggressive would sacrifice noise and snow performance, which for me in MI is important
    5
  1178. Yeszir
    5
  1179. Hah not at all, he canā€™t park there
    5
  1180. That's exactly right haha
    5
  1181. The GR is definitely not as playful as the Golf R, even in 30:70 mode. Should be just about perfect though in the winter/on dirt.
    5
  1182. šŸ’Æ percent
    5
  1183. https://youtu.be/frd4Xhh-ds0
    5
  1184. Followed by ā€œshouldā€™ve bought the manual!ā€
    5
  1185. The GT500 was awesome, but I'm in camp ZL1! The 6-speed manual is one of the best performance cars I've ever driven, hands down. Thanks for the support!
    5
  1186. Idk, $47k still isnā€™t cheap!
    5
  1187. Also most tracks are covered in a thin layer of leftover oil and coolant, making them like ice in the wet. The Pilot Sport Cup 2s were sketchy on the drive home though, depending on the pavement type.

  1189. Oh, Tedward bought the Si - I got a BRZ! I do have an Si video going live tomorrow though haha
    5
  1190. So many things šŸ˜‚
    5
  1191. Haha wtf. Thatā€™s a first. Weird glitch in Premier!
    5
  1192. It came from the factory with about -1.5Ā°, I did the strut tower pin mod and realigned at about -1.8Ā°. Could get more out of it with camber bolts but wanted to start here.
    5
  1193. Lol exactly šŸ˜„
    5
  1194. The orange on those was so cool!
    5
  1195. Yes, coming soon!
    5
  1196. Oh yeah, I was so glad to learn you could disable the shift beep - shoutout to James @ThrottleHouse for confirming that early on.
    5
  1197. 2:05 the Kia Carnival enters the chat
    5
  1198. Service light, need to reset it!
    5
  1199. They really should šŸ˜‚
    5
  1200. Might just be the camera angle. The TRD Pro looks like it has a leveling kit from the factory! no rake like on the Ranger RAptor
    5
  1201. Thanks, I like it a lot!
    5
  1202. Get it before they stop making them! No new Kona N šŸ˜ž
    5
  1203. Yeah the 8 is actually pretty usable! Weā€™ll chalk this up as a gopro sound test šŸ‘
    5
  1204. Haven't had many Astons in MI recently, maybe this winter out in CA!
    5
  1205. Just lovely.

  1209. Itā€™d be hard to see much around the 20 ft high rooster tails šŸ˜„
    5
  1210. You donā€™t understand Thomas, people buy raptors here in Southeast MI just to get to work in one piece šŸ˜‚ these 16s might save me next spring. Iā€™ll probably have to get a lift. Or a Raptor.
    5
  1211. Best thing to do would be to go drive one and see how you like it šŸ‘
    5
  1212. I think that was only on the press vehicles
    5
  1213. +tjs114 that sounds about right. It's just really loud, maybe there's some adjustment in the settings
    5
  1214. 2k miles in 2 weeks is impressive! I only have one car to film next week so itā€™s going to be catch-up time on break in miles. Yeah the fake sound doesnā€™t make a lot of sense in a car like this. Luckily itā€™s super easy to unplug/plug in. Without it this new 2.4 seems like it comes on cam a bit more aggressively than the previous car too, which sounds nice. Excited to finally rev it out without the fake noise!
    5
  1215. Just your ordinary, high-revving tractor
    5
  1216. Definitely will be doing more rallycross!
    5
  1217. Agreed, hope they tie it together better with the m2
    5
  1218. GX 460 still holds my heart!
    5
  1219. maybe, I'll do a fuel economy test on it tomorrow

    5
  1222. I couldnā€™t believe it either!
    5
  1223. Once youā€™re on the road the Highlander rides awesome. I think the two systems are pretty similar, but I may be wrong.
    5
  1224. Beavers are pretty amazing creatures šŸ¦«
    5
  1225. It's still a big heavy lifted truck on squishy all terrains, but it's doing its best impression of a sports sedan! It'd probably be a blast on a set of grippy street tires lol
    5
  1226. True that!
    5
  1227. Time travel
    5
  1228. Awesome! Itā€™s a blast, youā€™ll love it. Only note is you might have to rework the stock exhaust hangers if youā€™re still running the factory axle back
    5
  1229. I've been really happy with the car power-wise with a header and a tune. I drove one supercharged BRZ back in 2015 and I honestly wasn't sold for the cost of the kit. Also, the added complexity of making it track-worthy, drivable year round in Michigan winters, etc. turned me off the idea. I've always said that if I wanted a powerful car I'd get a Corvette, 3rd-gen Viper, or something like it that's built with power from the factory.
    5
  1230. Daily Motor šŸ˜‚šŸ™Œ
    5
  1231. Haven't driven it enough to tell, but I wouldn't expect it to be much, if any change. I'll report back once I get some miles on the car.
    5
  1232. Sounds about right šŸ˜‚
    5
  1233. Happy new year! Tbh I donā€™t think anyone even notices them, I barely notice them and Iā€™m super aware of where they all go haha
    5
  1234. Sweet, congrats! And thanks for the support!
    5
  1235. A little behind on posting this lol
    5
  1236. Coming this fall, supposedly
    5
  1237. Ehh it was a little sketchy
    5
  1238. Not really sure why everyone is saying this car is underpowered. Not once while driving it all week did I think that. šŸ¤” maybe on paper, but in practice the power level is totally adequate
    5

  1240. 100%
    5
  1241. Might trade the Corsa for a Perrin Resonated 2.5, Iā€™m digging the sound from YouTube clips šŸ‘
    5
  1242. DB8 Dante they handle pretty well in stock form and even better with a set of sway bars and a good alignment. Thatā€™ll be the next step here...
    5
  1243. Thatā€™s the best part! Thereā€™s no shortage of lowered hot hatches, this one you can go places with
    5
  1244. actually...I have one coming soon
    5
  1245. The Hankooks are definitely the weak link
    5
  1246. Tbh I didnā€™t really like the RS3, which was a shame because I wanted to love it. It brutally fast, awesome when driving quickly but everywhere else it wasnā€™t a smooth driving experience, always boosting and then falling out of boost when shifting into the next gear. The s3 was about perfect imo. Only thing I didnā€™t like was how loud impacts were on the 19ā€ wheels over our rough roads/potholes here in MI. Otherwise, the 2.0t was much better tuned for daily driving. Lots of low down torque the RS3 didnā€™t have and they sound shockingly similar with whatever Audi is using as a soundaktor. Iā€™d try test driving a previous generation (used) RS3 to see how you like it though, since the power delivery/feel wonā€™t be that different except for the new rear diff.
    5
  1247. Definitely!
    5
  1248. Canā€™t go wrong! All the haptic touch buttons in the 8th gen would be a deal breaker for me.
    5
  1249. Generally, yes but depends entirely on the tire compound and construction
    5
  1250. Good to know, thanks!
    5
  1251. Oh yes
    5
  1252. Hope so!
    5
  1253. If it were my money I'd get the SQ7. Maximum practicality with the V8 soundtrack! Audi really does get the exhaust right, whereas in the Cayenne it seemed more muted
    5
  1254. About to jump it over my ramen noodles for dinner
    5
  1255. Honda dropped the ball on the FL5 suspension basically trying to make it "boy racer stiff, for the sake of it." The car is faster and better controlled with the ITS module because it's not skipping over the track, losing tire contact. Also not as fatiguing for the driver. Paired with the Cup 2 tires, it's an upgrade in performance
    5
  1256. Iā€™m not sure if Honda has improved it but I really didnā€™t like the shifter in the civic sport. It felt cheap and clunky like a Logitech gaming shifter lol. The Si has that Honda gearbox magic that only shows up in the Si and Type R. The accord isnā€™t bad either, and even the Fit is a good option, but some of these new manual transmissions are hit or miss unfortunately.
    5
  1257. Iā€™m running the 2017 OEM suspension and have been really happy with it, I need the extra ground clearance in the winter time. But yeah, itā€™d look amazing an inch or so lowered..
    5
  1258. Haha pretty much what he said. Oil pressure is nice and consistent, the K20C1 has a good track record
    5
  1259. I havenā€™t, would love to though
    5
  1260. I made myself a bit car sick šŸ˜‚
    5
  1261. As long as your car has sensors for monitoring engine oil temp, trans temp, etc absolutely! Thereā€™s a live gauge display thatā€™s useful for track days/performance testing
    5
  1262. Tudor black bay pro!
    5
  1263. Yeah, it was nice on track too šŸ‘
    5
  1264. Itā€™s a great vehicle! Ironically one of the few options Iā€™d replace the GX with would be a Grand Cherokee...SRT lol
    5

  1271. Been there, GTIā€™d! Also found the new GTI UI to be infuriating to live with.
    5
  1272. a 1995 850 NA 5-Speed!
    5
  1273. I was wrong, it has a heated steering wheel (part of the design edition)
    5
  1274. Yeah but that Atkinson cycle V6 is so anemic! 05-15 ftw
    5
  1275. Yokeā€™s on you!

  1283. I always forget to mention them in reviews since I can't see them in real time!

  1284. Nope, keeping it!
    5
  1285. The Veloster N is definitely a different animal - puts down some serious performance over this Si and makes you feel like a total hooligan.
    5
  1286. Itā€™s been a while since the last electric unicycle review - my favorite kind of EV! Haha, thanks for watching - appreciate it!
    5
  1287. This was a hot one, even coolant started to get hot. It definitely depends on the day and track. I did some longer track sessions recently on 70Ā° morning and it didnā€™t have any issues, temps were good for 15-20 mins of hard driving.
    5
  1288. Yes, same Tahara plant as Land Cruiser and GX
    5
  1289. Yeah, 0w20. I'd only do 5w30 if I were tracking it
    5
  1290. You can't beat the value of the Elantra N, it's the most fun to drive out of the bunch. WRX is also super engaging and does all the things that the GRC and Golf R can do but for potentially $10k less (depending on trim). I'd go drive both and see what speaks to you!
    5
  1291. It's been great, I'll have some more detailed videos coming soon

  1293. sweet! And likewise if you see me around. I havenā€™t adjusted the clutch pedal butIā€™ll look into it, that sounds like a nice change.
    5
  1294. Question of the year right here!
    5
  1295. Sold the Mazda to Vroom, got $27k! Which was insane.
    5
  1296. As far as I can find Hondaā€™s addressed the issue in the 2019 and 2020 cars and Iā€™d really only have reason to be concerned with 2017-18 1.5s that havenā€™t had the fix.
    5
  1297. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø
    5
  1298. Last two Siā€™s were a miss for me too, this one is up there with the best of them imo!
    5
  1299. +CJBMAGGOT94 Video quality is definitely superior to the GoPro, especially at night. Battery life rocks too, it seems to be almost double the GoPro's. Audio is better quality for quieter recordings but the GoPro can handle more db without clipping. Lack of an external mic is definitely a con, but I usually record into an H2n anyway with the binaural mics. I've been using it about half the time for most if the stuff I record. Oh and the mobile app/wifi connection to the Yi rocks. Works quickly and reliably.

  1300. +GloryFighter1 16x5.5 Compomotive TH2
    4
  1301. Good catch, thanks! That's the thing about these, the more I drove it the more I enjoyed its simplicity. I'm sure that'll factor into reliability in the long haul.
    4
  1302. CAMARO_KYLE I wanted to drift around every corner like Chris Harris, but the owner said to take it easy šŸ˜„
    4
  1303. +Claire B yeah that happened sometime during the day. Not sure what caused it. It's a press car, Toyota will fix it!
    4
  1304. For all you 850R fans out there! Recorded in sweet 3D binaural audio, don't forget to wear headphones! Another video on this is coming soon to the Winding Road channel, stay tuned.

  1306. Love those drone shots. Thumbs up for night vision at 12:30am!
    4
  1307. Definitely beginner friendly. Like a lot of new manuals, clutch is pretty light, easy to modulate/get a smooth start out of.
    4
  1308. Idkā€¦the power steering went out immediately after filming this. But then it came back!
    4
  1309. Hat clip!
    4
  1310. I usually stick to around 1000 miles for first oil change. In this case, I did a couple track days right after that and then changed trans fluid ~4k. Should've done it around 2k or so but it's fine.
    4
  1311. Hahah, not a press car (for once)!
    4
  1312. Lots of cars this year so far! So so so many diapers thoughā€¦.so.manyā€¦ (for the baby)
    4
  1313. I canā€™t imagine itā€™ll be that bad in real life, EPA must have done their testing that day going sidewaysā€¦
    4
  1314. Still stuck in the 1:49s!
    4
  1315. Jeff Proctor! šŸ‘
    4
  1316. I would, back seat is a little tight, so just make sure everyone fit ok!
    4
  1317. Yes and yes šŸ‘
    4
  1318. That would've been ideal to have all 3! And thanks, I appreciate it - I'd love to make it out to NorCal and do some filming with Zygrene sometime. If I'm planning on going out there I'll let you know and we can set something up!
    4
  1319. Don't be an ass, Robert.
    4
  1320. rwd, all of Genesis models are on rear-wheel-drive platforms (so either rwd or awd).
    4
  1321. It's amazing what they've done with the new 11th gen - every model in the lineup handles incredibly well.
    4
  1322. $19,999
    4
  1323. Way better on track than GR86 out of the box
    4
  1324. Michelin for slightly more driving fun, Continental for slightly more comfort/less road noise šŸ‘ both awesome tires
    4
  1325. Going to do a video on track prep here soon, just gotta get the brake pads installed!
    4
  1326. The fastest time was a 30.9 in a 2017 Miata!
    4
  1327. Had to pinch myself
    4
  1328. Oh yeah, the IPD sways are the only way to go on these 850s
    4
  1329. Proper ending too
    4
  1330. Not sure if Iā€™ll do any bushings, with how rough our roads are some isolation can be nice!
    4
  1331. These systems are all pretty slow to start in the winter. Want to turn on your heated seats until the engine warms up? Often youā€™ll have to wait for the display to come on...
    4
  1332. yep
    4
  1333. Itā€™s ok, the downshifts canā€™t hurt you.
    4
  1334. Haha these early morning videos get interesting šŸ˜†
    4
  1335. Itā€™s another league. Itā€™d probably be even better without the Dynamic package too
    4
  1336. Ah yeah, the difference is the destination fee
    4
  1337. It was early in the morning šŸ˜‚ very happy, just not fully awake
    4
  1338. They built this down the road, right here in MI!
    4
  1339. Same! It was great on a skid pad for about one full time around, then the diff started to overheat and it was all over lol
    4
  1340. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø hopefully soon!
    4
  1341. I donā€™t know the rpm exactly but any amount of throttle at idle opened the valve when we checked it out. It seems like itā€™s only closed below 2500rpm or so, maybe lower.
    4
  1342. Range will always depend on tire pressure and rider weight. Just measured the handle on the v8, itā€™s about 35ā€ tall
    4
  1343. Yeah I turned that off, itā€™s a bossy little screen, always telling me what gear to change into!
    4
  1344. Just trying to turn my Type R into a Lexus!

  1347. A Ford Edge, but currently trying to get her into a Ferrari Enzo. ā€œAs long as itā€™s automaticā€ she says šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    4
  1348. Good to know!
    4
  1349. Que knew what he was getting into šŸ˜‚
    4
  1350. lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?
    4
  1351. They haveā€¦inner beauty? Lol
    4
  1352. Gimballinā€™ outta control!
    4
  1353. It kind of is! What a good time we live in.
    4
  1354. Nothing on the dip stick so far, I'm doing an oil change next week and will see what I find in the oil.
    4
  1355. Actually, thatā€™s a good point that I realized after filming - ^ so what he said ^
    4
  1356. Tried the winter beater thing plenty of times and Iā€™ve found it just costs more time and money in maintenance than Iā€™m willing to spend. Also didnā€™t like driving an older/cheaper car thatā€™s not as safe. Itā€™s not rusting with the Krown treatment and Iā€™d rather do that along with a few other things to prevent damage instead of dealing with a car that I donā€™t enjoy driving as much anyway. Life is short, drive your fun cars.
    4
  1357. Just had a Kona N. Loved it! Most fun fwd car on sale imo.
    4
  1358. Itā€™s only gonna get worse šŸ˜‚
    4
  1359. Itā€™s Ford, maybeā€¦but probably not lol
    4
  1360. Yeah thereā€™s definitely a lot of discussion on this. Ultimately from what I gather is that Lexus tuned this 4.6 for smoothness and running premium fuel plays a factor in maintaining that over 100s of thousands of miles, along with less carbon buildup, etc
    4
  1361. Yep, very different. Iā€™ll also be uploading a BRZ video from the same day as this s2k drive. And youā€™re right, both torsen diffs. Falkens are studdable but not studded (canā€™t run studs in MI), and no traction control in the s2k!
    4
  1362. Lol exactly!
    4
  1363. Absolutely
    4
  1364. Itā€™s been very true in the past, the Mazda3 was the worst offender - way too loud on the inside and youā€™re right, the Mazda6 wasnā€™t much better. This CX30 is a huge improvement with interior noise though. Glad to see/hear Mazda is addressing it with their new models.

    4
  1368. I was missing it. today - After it gets a new clutch, it's winter ready!
    4
  1369. Thanks man! Just trying not to be too cring-worthy šŸ˜‚
    4
  1370. Yeah, thanks for the reminder! I really need to film that car. Maybe a BRZ/Miata comparo is in order too....
    4
  1371. I saw that yesterday! Savagegeese too - It's like 2013 all over again
    4
  1372. What pressure are your tires set to? Some people were getting raptors delivered with 50-60psiā€¦which will ruin the ride
    4
  1373. This looks like a ball and a biscuit. And like you need balls the size of biscuits.
    4
  1374. *rimz
    4
  1375. You're right! No wireless in the 10.3" screen - thanks for the correction
    4
  1376. Never driven one but I really wanted an RX-8 back in the day!
    4
  1377. Itā€™s all subjective. I like the shifter feel in the new GTI, I think it matches the other control weights well/is in line with the intention of the car. Itā€™s an improvement over previous generations too imo. Thatā€™s not to say the other reviewers are wrong, itā€™s just a difference of opinion and preference.
    4
  1378. Prius has 5.5ā€ of ground clearance
    4
  1379. You can watch the 2024 Lotus Eletre R driving video here: https://youtu.be/-5grj_U1hn4
    4
  1380. They're about the same, Si might be slightly more forgiving, but it's tough to say having driven them a few months apart.
    4
  1381. Next week!
    4
  1382. Yeah, been trying to get one for ages!
    4
  1383. Iā€™d go on eBay, forums, or look locally to swap on 2022+ BRZ suspension šŸ‘
    4
  1384. Mine cost $20k less!
    4
  1385. Haha oops
    4
  1386. Iā€™m really curious to drive this at sea level, the altitude and higher temps at the track were definitely robbing power. Also Toyota just released a tune for the GR Yaris overseas, hoping they bring something like that to the Corolla here.
    4
  1387. For more videos on the Model Y SR check out Daily Motorā€™s channel: https://youtube.com/c/DailyMotor
    4
  1388. Exactly, except the auto sold next day!
    4
  1389. Ope
    4
  1390. They do šŸ‘€
    4
  1391. I just needed to have it in park, they work great šŸ‘
    4
  1392. They really do get under your skin. Safe cars too. Keep an eye out, nice ones pop up every now and then!
    4
  1393. Exactly! šŸ˜‚
    4
  1394. Dude. This is cool!
    4
  1395. Thatā€™s the goal! šŸ‘
    4
  1396. Every time I watch a Mattā€™s off-road recovery video where theyā€™re working on something in the shop, my brain goes ā€œdonā€™t they need to paint/coat that?ā€ Oh wait, it wonā€™t rust out there šŸ˜‚
    4
  1397. haha order up then! Part# In the description
    4
  1398. I really like the base model, but the premium does look better!
    4
  1399. They just cut it by $5k https://insideevs.com/news/672396/hyundai-offers-5000-usd-cash-rebate-2023-ioniq-6-se-sel/
    4
  1400. Camaro.
    4
  1401. I bought this one for $8900 on BaT, sold my identical automatic 96 850 R not long after for $8901 lol. But chances are a clean 850 R like this is worth more than that now, values have started to go up a bit on these...finally!
    4
  1402. Urus is coming soon!
    4
  1403. No, tune = software. Gearing = hardware
    4
  1404. Yes, definitely need to run a dedicated winter tire!
    4
  1405. 6
    4
  1406. 100% the primacies are a lot more progressive in how they break traction!
    4
  1407. Definitely, Iā€™ll make an appt in the summer or fall
    4
  1408. You could fill a well with the money needed for the price!
    4
  1409. Yeah, made a few final edits/cuts
    4
  1410. I need to burn the sound test track onto a CD šŸ˜‚
    4
  1411. We have a video on the new Elantra hybrid coming soon
    4
  1412. M1 Concourse in Pontiac, MI
    4
  1413. This Avalon is amazing. Ultimately I probably prefer Toyotas Hybrid systems as a long term option, but I'd drive both and see which you like best. The Accord Hybrid is an awesome car too, probably a bit sportier of a drive than the Avalon or Camry - you can't go wrong with either option imo.
    4
  1414. Yeah, I do
    4
  1415. Hopefully soon šŸ™Œ
    4
  1416. He's probably angry at the bad music I was playing :D Yes, I read books. Do you read descriptions?
    4
  1417. Lots of videos in my BRZ playlist of my modified 2014 BRZ: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6G4q8NT6VnT6iLyB6e_Zyjo03eONJ9e5
    4
  1418. I mean, sure, the favorites do help, but there are only 4! Want to quickly change radio stations while using CarPlay? You can but not without 5-10 seconds of distraction. Following a smelly truck and want to recirculate the cabin air? Minimum of 3 inputs on the screen. Not to mention that 1/4 of your inputs on the screen donā€™t land where you want them to while driving. Itā€™s a shame because itā€™s the best driving GTI yet.
    4
  1419. Itā€™s true, theyā€™ve developed a solid truck with this new frontier. Very excited for the new Z too.
    4
  1420. Perfect winter car!
    4
  1421. All the 8-speed N cars have the wet clutch dct
    4
  1422. Same!
    4
  1423. We had the new Kia K4 this week, it was SO nice to drive after fumbling around with everything in this.
    4
  1424. We asked before leaving, he didnā€™t really give a straightforward answer. Just that they wanted +R to be as extreme as possible. I suspect itā€™s just stiff for the sake of being stiff and ā€œsportyā€ unfortunately. Kind of like the 20ā€ wheels in the last gen ā€œfor looks.ā€
    4
  1425. Thatā€™s what I thought too, it feels more like 250hp because of the instant torque and response. Definitely quick enough!
    4
  1426. https://youtu.be/vYNH0DOs7Ks
    4
  1427. Thatā€™s a good idea, just added all my EV reviews to the EV playlist!
    4
  1428. Itā€™s definitely slow-car-fast!
    4
  1429. Compared to my S2000, it's not broken all the time. lol :(
    4
  1430. "TheTopher" for 10% off your first ticket: https://fight.offtherecord.com/TheTopher
    4
  1431. Itā€™s growing on me tooā€¦I just donā€™t know if itā€™s desirable like the RS6 or AMG stuff is. Itā€™s just not that memorable for some reason.
    4
  1432. Conditions dried out and warmed up in the afternoon and the Elise dominated the second group of runs. Managed 2nd place, just barely ahead of the Boxster šŸ‘
    4
  1433. Completely forgot to talk about that. Seating position feels great in that itā€™s very normal!
    4
  1434. That's a good question. Iā€™ve always preferred the feel of a narrower setup. Also I'm becoming more skeptical that wider is actually better when you factor in contact pressure, added rolling resistance, cost, scrub radius changes etc. ultimately tire compound is the most important element when it comes to grip and driving feel. After testing a number of setups, I prefer the light and nimble character of the stock wheel/tire dimensions. If I were chasing lap times itā€™d be a different story, but for my use this is the best overall way to go imo. Also 215s on a 7.5ā€ is pretty spot on for a rim and tire width ratio. Iā€™d love to throw a set of 245s on the car someday and compare lap times...
    4
  1435. The only drive by wire throttle Subaru has ever tuned well imo is the new 2022 WRX.
    4
  1436. Muuuch more pronounced than my car was with a header/tune. This new car actually pulls starting at 2500-3000 rpm.
    4
  1437. Thatā€™s probably it
    4
  1438. Hope so, thatā€™d be awesome to test!
    4
  1439. Hi nagi 99% of the time it works fine, just seems to have problems when Iā€™m filming šŸ˜„
    4
  1440. Haha thanks man, the best part about pov videos is I can have a life!
    4
  1441. Love the 16" RE71RS for street and on first impressions they were fun on track - I'm doing another track day on them Sunday, so will report back after that!
    4
  1442. I mean, youā€™d probably get a good price on your 2018 right now, drive one and see. This new gen is a big step up, minus the taillights lol.
    4
  1443. Sweet, congrats! And yes, everything will swap right over šŸ‘
    4
  1444. hey hey!
    4
  1445. I havenā€™t! I had 350z posters all over mh wall growing up and then I just sort of forgot about itā€¦
    4
  1446. Yes, in sport/manual mode you can bounce off the limiter šŸ‘
    4
  1447. Nah, the BRZ is so light that tires really don't wear out as much as you'd expect. I had to work hard to wear down the Primacy's on my 2014 BRZ and even then I could only get them down to 50% tread by the time I sold the car in 2020.
    4
  1448. Itā€™s super useful for digging out when you get stuck in sand
    4
  1449. For sure! It can be helpful if you don't have a rear locker like in a GX or old 4Runner, but otherwise tbh you don't really need it with a-trac.
    4
  1450. And professors!
    4
  1451. Oh yes.
    4
  1452. Coming soon!
    4
  1453. Definitely want to get some time in one soon, Iā€™ll see what I can do šŸ‘
    4
  1454. Maybe a week or two, trying to get rid of the winter backlog!
    4
  1455. Itā€™s not mine so do it! You guys should sell the hdmi port stickers šŸ˜‚
    4
  1456. Dual clutch farts!
    4
  1457. To be a complete and total baller
    4
  1458. Woot woot! Missed your reviews, Chris!
    4
  1459. Good question, yes there is a temporary spare tire in the Camry AWD
    4
  1460. oh man, I think the Miata was slightly more fun. We'll see how this sounds after the exhaust
    4
  1461. If I can get my hands on one, absolutely!
    4
  1462. About 29-33 on the hwy, 27-28 combined. Itā€™s maybe 1mpg down from the 2.0l, so not bad!
    4
  1463. Yeah Iā€™ll take it to krown rust control and get it sprayed, well worth it!
    4
  1464. Everyone loves a big clock
    4
  1465. Since 1984!
    4
  1466. Nobody really knows, experts are unclear. But we know they like BRZs.
    4
  1467. Around 9k miles
    4
  1468. Yeah it is more sluggish in warm weather!
    4
  1469. Uploads Prius video on America day šŸ§ā€¦AT ROAD AMERICA
    4
  1470. Oh yeah, thereā€™s virtually no rev hang with the K20C1 motor
    4
  1471. They have a 30 day trial period which is nice šŸ‘
    4
  1472. Mostly old men
    4
  1473. Those are all the new Broncos waiting for chips!
    4
  1474. The electrician could only wire it into one phase of the electrical panel. So half the switches work and we had to move stuff around to prioritize what got generator power and what didnā€™t. Thatā€™s my basic understanding of what we had to do at leastā€¦
    4
  1475. The interior was terrible, but it was more fun to drive imo. Seemed to have more character, and it sounded better (both Vipers had Corsa exhausts).
    4
  1476. Just sold it to Vroom for $27k šŸ‘
    4
  1477. šŸ˜‚
    4
  1478. I did, the smallest front resonator, matching the Integra Type S
    4
  1479. It was so much fun this winter!
    4
  1480. These are on the optional factory forged wheels - I picked them up used
    4
  1481. What he said! ^^^
    4
  1482. This for sure
    4
  1483. +Tony Diciesare thanks man! Not going anywhere :)
    4
  1484. Yeah, oil temp. And I heard the ECU pulls timing to keep cat temperatures from getting too hot. After 8-10 minutes of hard driving power level doesnā€™t feel that much more than the old BRZ imo, which is a bit of a bummer. An oil cooler would fix that, but not worth it for me only doing a couple track events/year.
    4
  1485. Oh yeah, it definitely needs a full engine, trans, and diff mount refresh.
    4
  1486. Absolutely, itā€™s a super forgiving car to drive.
    4
  1487. Both!
    4
  1488. Thanks Kyle, I appreciate it! šŸ™Œ lots of muscle car content coming this summer!
    4
  1489. So cool!
    4
  1490. Or in Substitute Topherā€™s caseā€¦seventhary car

  1494. šŸ˜„šŸ™Œ
    4
  1495. Haha I was a geology major and an art minor
    4
  1496. Performance pads
    4
  1497. I think weā€™re all in accord on this
    4
  1498. The Elantra N is amazing, and I agree - for most people itā€™s probably the better buy (def better value), but Iā€™ve been fighting the urge to get a Type R for 6 years and had to get this new FL5. After these couple of tweaks I love it. Canā€™t wait to drive the Integra Type S, and maybe swap a few parts over šŸ˜‚
    4
  1499. If youā€™re in deeper snow, absolutely - the extra ground clearance helps šŸ‘
    4
  1500. Watch is from Lewis Jewelers: https://www.lewisjewelers.com/tudor/black-bay-chrono-m79360n-0007/45990003/EN Mention that TheTopher sent you and ask for D.K. he'll take great care of you guys!
    4
  1501. Always liked the Fit! If I get my hands on a personal car someday Iā€™d be glad to do a video
    4
  1502. Z4 is definitely the most fun option! Thatā€™s what Iā€™d pick
    4
  1503. Stock for stock the new BRZ/86 is more fun imo. But I drove a lightly modded ND2 the other day and absolutely loved it. So then it comes down to convertible vs coupe and how youā€™re going to use it. The BRZ suspension is definitely softer than the Miata but the Miata handles better out of the box. Itā€™s a tough call. Dang, guess weā€™ll have to film a comparo lol
    4
  1504. That's been the worst part about this car by far.
    4
  1505. Yes it is and no they donā€™t! Lol
    4
  1506. We finally get to drive one next month!
    4
  1507. I was thinking about that and Iā€™d take the Rivian. May buy one of these someday!
    4
  1508. That b-roll at the end!!
    4
  1509. Definitely doing a fuel economy test asap šŸ‘
    4
  1510. See the full POV review here: https://youtu.be/t_5Zx2IB48Q
    4
  1511. Totally missed that one while I had the car. Guess what though, after about 100 comments I now know!
    4
  1512. Oh man, I just searched winter gloves on amazon and they popped up.
    4
  1513. No RTV on my dip stick, but I'm going to do an oil change this week and see what I can. There isn't really any way to tell for sure unless you drop the pan, which I don't see reason to do until your 5yr/60k powertrain warranty is about to expire. We'll see how this plays out. For some reason I haven't heard of as many issues with BRZs, not sure exactly why.
    4
  1514. There's a delicate balance between scaring and making him sick hahah
    4
  1515. Absolutely!
    4
  1516. Theyā€™ve become pretty standard on most manuals! Toyota has it, all BMWs, the Nissan Z was one of the first to adopt it, itā€™s a long list.
    4
  1517. I donā€™t run AC on track and I donā€™t have any issues. If it does get hot I just run the heater briefly
    4
  1518. I feel like they have way more grip than the previous gen Primacyā€™s, maybe they tweaked the compound someā€¦
    4
  1519. Exactly
    4
  1520. AnotherSiGuy itā€™s so much fun!
    4
  1521. Awesome, great to hear!
    4
  1522. Yes
    4
  1523. Yes
    4
  1524. On first startup the screen is almost unusable for the first minute or so. Donā€™t know how it still makes it into production.
    4
  1525. šŸ˜‚
    4
  1526. Just having a mini track day in your grocery getter. Itā€™s surprisingly good! Needs R compound tires though...
    4
  1527. Too well. Itā€™s weird, they wonā€™t wear out!
    4
  1528. It did sound good šŸ‘
    4
  1529. That big turbo Fiesta ST was awesome...made some crazy turbo sounds and pulled super well. Fiesta is going to be a bit more chuckable, lighter and playful - the Type R is really buttoned down, weightier controls, more feel/engagement. But man, Fiesta ST is still one of the greats, love those little cars.
    4
  1530. Oil-based is the way to go šŸ‘ The wireless adapter has been surprisingly good, the Subaru infotainment still drops CarPlay somewhat often (even after an update at the dealer) but it reconnects as quickly as it would plugged in.
    4
  1531. New year, new tracks! When I got a bunch of comments in a row on the Mach-e video I figured it was time haha
    4
  1532. It is! Iā€™ve done a couple so far and itā€™s a great lesson in car control. If there were more per year in Michigan Iā€™d get a dedicated set of studded tires, thatā€™s really where it gets fun.
    4
  1533. The 10-speed tuning in this XLT felt closer to an older F-150 than it did to the Ranger Raptor. Which is a surprise because Ford has really improved the tuning of their 10-speed auto in all their latest products. This XLT still felt very ā€œprevious generation.ā€ curious to drive a 2.3 ecoboost, hoping thatā€™s an improvement
    4
  1534. Very interesting!
    4
  1535. Thatā€™s right, thanks for the correction!
    4
  1536. By far the best thing about the new WRX. And frustrating at the same time because why wasnā€™t this sorted out years ago?! Itā€™s so good to drive now.
    4
  1537. Iā€™d be looking at ND2/GR86/BRZ.
    4
  1538. Driving impressions on Tuesday!
    4
  1539. haha it is always a little bit of luck getting into competition mode...agreed man - this is the ticket!
    4
  1540. It takes 0w20 but if youā€™re doing extended track sessions itā€™s a good idea to run 5w30
    4
  1541. Yeah, a good undercarriage wash and scrub would bring it back, and if you wanted to go all out - dry ice cleaning!
    4
  1542. I'll try to feature one in a video soon!
    4
  1543. I have, took my GX there - they did a nice job too.
    4
  1544. Thatā€™s a good point, theyā€™re either not driving the cars hard enough to notice, or on rough roads, or they just donā€™t have the experience of owning or spending a lot of time with the old vs. new cars. That said, I still remember my first drive in a 2017 86 (it was an automatic), first turn into the chicane at autobahn country club and my brain went ā€œholy shit, this new suspension is magic.ā€ And those were slow lead follow laps. Lol
    4
  1545. Yeah, rev-hang and shifter are much better in the Si
    4
  1546. Siriusly
    4
  1547. At least there's no yoke!
    4
  1548. I always keep some in reserve in case it burns on a road trip or track day but so far hasnā€™t burned a drop šŸ‘
    4
  1549. Krown Rust Control is the jam - used it since 2017 on my GX, 4Runner, BRZs, etc
    4
  1550. As Paris Hilton would almost say ā€œtheyā€™re hot!ā€
    4
  1551. 100% always thought the BRZ and Miata are the most fun cars you can own, because you donā€™t have to worry about them as much. Less stress, more send!
    4
  1552. Thatā€™s a good point, youā€™d need a performance pack/TRD specific previous gen 17x4ā€ spare from Toyota or Subaru
    4
  1553. This was so much fun!
    4
  1554. Didnā€™t really notice any changes in MPG, still average around 28-30 on the regular.
    4
  1555. No idea, we couldnā€™t isolate it. Easy fix at the dealer though Iā€™m sure. The stinger had the same issue and there was a tsb on it.
    4
  1556. The Genesis G80 is awesome, and so is the Lexus GS šŸ‘
    4
  1557. Look down and to the right away from the lights
    4
  1558. GT3!
    4
  1559. I still have the 4.10 from my old BRZ hahha. Canā€™t seem to give that thing away!
    4
  1560. Oh yeah, as soon as we can get our hands on one! Already have a review on the manual GR86 here: https://youtu.be/FSzsU0lyv-U
    4
  1561. hi Tim

    4
  1565. 10 seconds of misery
    4
  1566. I donā€™t think the interior quality is an improvement over the mk7.5, or even my old ml6 lol but itā€™s definitely not as much of a downgrade as some are making it out to be imo. Everyone is going to have their own thoughts on stuff like thisā€¦
    4
  1567. 28mpg according to the read-out. including POV filming, 24 lol
    4
  1568. Agreed! They need to get on that
    4
  1569. Iā€™d say BRZ, the GR86 is stiff
    4
  1570. Agreed, the M40i is plenty capable and fun to drive!
    4
  1571. Would recommend!
    4
  1572. Wouldnā€™t worry about it.
    4
  1573. Yes, mostly between the touring and everything else
    4
  1574. Front doors off, rear doors on - youā€™ll need window switches!

  1577. Dan Murphy getting back to our video roots!
    3
  1578. +Martijn Bruggers Good question! Right now it's lifted about 3" on NB spring perches and coilovers for winter duty. We had big ice racing plans for this car this winter, but unfortunately temps were too warm to do anything. In the next few weeks the car will be lowered, getting a track alignment, and fitted with some track-worthy wheels, tires, and brakes.
    3
  1579. Hahah, I did.
    3
  1580. +Ian Soderlund I may start doing that, and thanks! Appreciate it!
    3
  1581. Honestly I saw the biggest difference with a tune. On the dyno, the Corsa Intake and Exhaust saw 3whp. lol It sounds nice though!
    3
  1582. In this video you'll also catch a sneak peek of the detail and paint correction we did on the 94 Miata. Enjoy!
    3
  1583. mrtopher C6, not C5
    3
  1584. Definitely, I'll see what I can put together!
    3
  1585. +Oliver Kaufhold Just bought project cars the other day and it's way better, makes the purchase worth it imo. You're right, forza does filter out a lot compared to PC. It's not bad on Simulation mode though, but after using the wheel on project cars, it opened up a whole new world I hadn't experienced before.
    3
  1586. I'm going to say that the DSG is really the way to go on the Golf R, I wasn't impressed with the 6-speed manual on track. It just felt like I was going through the motions, there wasn't a lot of satisfaction to shifting, or a lot of feedback to the inputs. The GTI shifter is much better in that respect.
    3
  1587. VCDS is the diagnostic software you can get from ross tech. Just search for it in the golfmk6 forum and you can learn all about it. Instead of shelling out for a cable and a PC laptop, I just found a local mk6 owner to help me turn off the steering angle sensor (which disables traction control, stability control, and xds, etc.) I also turned off torque steer compensation. The car truly feels more alive and connected to the road! After I got new snow tires a couple months ago, I've even left it off this winter...in Michigan. It's been fun.
    3
  1588. Adam Jermain I actually filmed a POV Test Drive on this exact car on the WR channel a few years before I bought it lol.
    3
  1589. +johnls39 The lights on the ATS-V are fine, I just forgot to turn on low light mode on the GoPro
    3
  1590. Alex very few, if any, interior rattles. The G90 is really smooth over bumps. It does the luxury car thing really well!
    3
  1591. Hi
    3
  1592. Do you think it'd be quicker/more fun to drive with shorter gearing?
    3
  1593. You can also check out Brad's article from this drive on Hooniverse here: http://hooniverse.com/2017/02/24/2017-land-rover-discovery-the-all-around-the-dial-review/

  1595. Trying to escape... (really rolling the windows up)
    3
  1596. +Zev we did a couple videos a loong time ago on the Winding Road channel, both the V6 and the 2.0t šŸ‘
    3
  1597. Tedward your face is going to hurt! Also, I can't help but read your thumbnail text as "loud autofocus." photographer problems lol
    3
  1598. Surprised it wasn't driving upside down in a tunnel with all that downforce!
    3
  1599. +joegolden481 there is a white pearl on the 850R, it's sick! There's a local guy here in Detroit who actually bought one to a recent IKEA meet. Never seen before, except in photos.
    3
  1600. Chyeahh, what a weekend!! Killer edit on this one!
    3
  1601. This video was genesis to the winding road pov concept lol it actually helped convinced wr staff to let me re-start the Wr channel.
    3
  1602. That would be the dream šŸ˜‚šŸ‘
    3
  1603. Shifter feel in the BRZ is better, more weight and not as cheap and clunky. But the WRX is so much more fluid to drive, BRZ I feel like Iā€™m always tip toeing around the clutch to keep things smooth.
    3
  1604. Same! Itā€™d be perfect then.
    3
  1605. I like my BRZ. I like this Corvette. I like pie.
    3
  1606. Studied Geology haha but I had a photography business since high school. Ended up re-starting the Winding Road YouTube channel after school and that eventually led to making this channel šŸ‘
    3
  1607. Hahah same
    3
  1608. Yes
    3
  1609. I need to film an update soon! Not much to talk about, itā€™s a reliable tank
    3
  1610. Iā€™ve been running it as is, no CELs after about 500 miles.
    3
  1611. He gone.
    3
  1612. Flashing red, treated like a stop sign
    3
  1613. Car journalists
    3
  1614. Glad to hear it!
    3
  1615. Live on Tuesday!
    3
  1616. Sweet, glad to help! Stop start can be turned off quickly just behind the shifter
    3
  1617. All part of the master plan!
    3
  1618. Itā€™s a great track!
    3
  1619. Savagepeacocks
    3
  1620. Sweet! In the back seat thatā€™s just a black towel. I think I got my crash bolts on tirerack. Would recommend 1-1.5Ā° of front negative camber, 0 toe
    3
  1621. Sweet! When youā€™re in sport mode, and maybe a couple other drive modes, it will show you your gear instead of D šŸ‘.
    3
  1622. Koball Sony FDR-X3000. Optical Image stabilization!
    3
  1623. Iā€™m 70ā€ tall and my wife is 64ā€ tall. I just fit comfortably in front of a rear facing baby doona car seat/stroller
    3
  1624. What brand do you use? Iā€™ve been taking my GX460 to Krown and touching up mid-season. Seems to be working well, but open to other possibilities too
    3
  1625. Throttle response isnā€™t great, but Iā€™ve gotten used to it. I thought about a throttle controller but theyā€™re all ~$400 and Iā€™m not sure how I feel about adding in something like that that could fail.
    3
  1626. Yeszir! Should do year-round duty well!
    3
  1627. hahah agreed - every time I come to Boston it feels like home!
    3
  1628. I thought about it, but Iā€™d want the new Type R when that comes out and thatā€™s not happening until at least fall. Canā€™t wait that long!
    3
  1629. Thatā€™s totally understandable! In which case Iā€™d vote Supra šŸ‘
    3
  1630. I hope not
    3
  1631. Thatā€™s gvwr, Curb weight is 5,137 lbs
    3
  1632. Yeah the 10th gen was a bit unnerving, 11th gen is a lot better but not perfect
    3
  1633. It is!
    3
  1634. Just a UR Quattro šŸ˜Ž thereā€™s an old video on the Winding Road channel. It was so cool!
    3
  1635. See Description
    3
  1636. Dang, that's a bummer - hope it gets sorted soon
    3
  1637. granny shiftinā€™ fools
    3
  1638. Great choice, enjoy!!
    3
  1639. Oh man, thatā€™s awesome! I love to hear stuff like this. It doesnā€™t get much better than the 987 Cayman šŸ™Œ
    3
  1640. Yep! Will be testing them out some more this season too
    3
  1641. No seat issues yet surprisingly! Thereā€™s a pretty consistent rattle from the plastic on the passenger c pillar but it goes away once the cabin warms up. Only 2200 miles so farā€¦
    3
  1642. Yeah, rear C pillar - the chassis/engine mounts in the Type R are so stiff that I'm sure everyone will be getting unique rattles and buzzes- it's part of the Type R experience. I assume eventually it'll just all blend into a symphony of vibrations like my old Volvo 850 R haha
    3
  1643. Awesome! You got a fantastic car
    3
  1644. Could be a bit, I need to get another alignment with the wider offset wheels
    3
  1645. Nope, took it to Krown!
    3
  1646. N is hands down more fun to drive and has a handbrake. Same story with the Elantra Nā€¦that video drops soon too šŸ‘€
    3
  1647. We've got one this week! Actually two - the Hybrid and Charlie from Daily Motor bought an FX4 AWD.
    3
  1648. 2022 Outlander review drops tomorrow!
    3
  1649. Yes
    3
  1650. Go subscribe to Tedward right now or I'll eat your couch. https://www.youtube.com/tedwarddrives
    3
  1651. Thanks! And it did come from Concord, bought on BaT and drove it back to MI!
    3
  1652. This 720s was better than I expected! Havenā€™t driven a ton of modern comparable supercars lately but Audi/Lamborghini are pretty good and of course itā€™s hard to beat Porsche.
    3
  1653. Ford Performance provides a 3yr/36k mile warranty with the tune, otherwise everything not affected by the tune is still covered by a 5yr/60k mile powertrain warranty. There's definitely some gray area on being able to prove whether the tune did or did not break something (if something breaks) after that 3/36k warranty is up.
    3
  1654. No issues, just proper damper tuning
    3
  1655. Previous owner installed the flooring, but Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s SwissTrax. Installed over concrete with a drain, itā€™s been great! No slipping on ice in the winter, can jack cars up on it without issue and it looks good šŸ‘
    3
  1656. I did! https://youtu.be/_hQZpJXsRnw
    3
  1657. I still prefer the Ranger Raptor for my needs but if I had to choose between Taco and 4R, it'd be the 4Runner for sure.
    3
  1658. I think 130,000+
    3
  1659. Land

  1660. With wet linens zip-tied to the tSā€™s drying rack it was the difference between maintenance throttle at the limit and being able to go flat out in turn 8/9 at Gingerman. The stock tS was consistently 2-3 seconds quicker than my modified BRZ and could air dry exponentially more pieces of clothing. The only thing that I was able to affix to my brzā€™s wimpy little spoiler was a pair of lace thongs tightly wedged into the high pressure zone between the spoiler and the taillight. But even they kept flying off into the grass when I got into opposite lock at 75mph, resulting in embarrassing looking skidmarks on the thongs. We had to then go hand wash them, taking precious time out of our track day. So if you like skidmarks on your thongs and spending your track day in the Gingerman raceway bathroom hand washing thongs in freezing cold water when itā€™s already 43Ā° outside, the answer is clear - buy a regular BRZ. But not everyone has time for that, David. Sunday is race day, and laundry day. Itā€™s all possible with the tS.
    3
  1661. I have always bought and sold what I want. I had to get rid of the 850 R for this. Iā€™ve had my eye on an FK8 since they came out in 2017, but this new generation really swayed me. I definitely canā€™t blame people who want to buy cars for the views but thatā€™s not really a good enough reason for me since Iā€™m always driving press cars and the time in my personal cars is limited. I want to get what I enjoy/works with my life at the time!
    3
  1662. We forgot to look into the future when filming this video.
    3
  1663. We swap back and forth
    3
  1664. Pretty good, light with decent feel for an EV.
    3
  1665. You know, for the money Iā€™m starting to think WRX! GR Corolla is fun but wait for things to settle down a bit

  1668. Mmmmm šŸ‘
    3
  1669. Hahah Iā€™m battling with that too. Airflow is perfect like that but it looks horrible
    3
  1670. On the way home someone hit a massive rock on the highway. Annihilated two wheels! Luckily he had a donut spare and the off-road support guys pulled up with another full-size coming back from the off-road course.
    3
  1671. Unfortunately the BRZ is going to have to go, Iā€™ve had it the longest and with another kid coming next month donā€™t need both that and the s2k. Type R stays!
    3
  1672. Hat clip on a baseball cap does the trick šŸ‘
    3
  1673. fixed the title, thanks!
    3
  1674. Itā€™s fine for not having a lot of ground clearance and wide tires. Tbh itā€™s not a ton of fun to drive in the snow but the front diff gets you through quite a bit. Itā€™s only as good as the all season/winter tires you have one it. Tbh we didnā€™t have a lot of snow this last year but tedwardā€™s type r did great on dedicated winter tires
    3
  1675. No burble tune, that would have to be custom.
    3
  1676. If I ever get a chance to drive one, I will!
    3
  1677. Thatā€™s true, thanks for the correction!
    3
  1678. This was yesterday, just swapped everything back to stock tires because of the cold temps.
    3
  1679. Haha I was wondering why we werenā€™t catching him šŸ˜‚
    3
  1680. Substitute Toph is 5ā€™11 šŸ‘
    3
  1681. Yes šŸ‘
    3
  1682. Will report back on MPG šŸ‘

  1684. Day date mk40 šŸ‘
    3
  1685. I turned it off in the display
    3
  1686. Coming soon! We also drove a hybrid awd and the driving experience was remarkably different. I prefer the rwd V6 10-speed.
    3
  1687. Idk what the reasoning was for that. I understand in a well insulated luxury sedan or suv but this makes zero sense.
    3
  1688. Agreed. 9/10 times Iā€™d rather have fixed dampers that are well tuned!
    3
  1689. Yep, 1000 suns
    3
  1690. The headband works, but actually the hat clip is the key - thereā€™s a link in the description and tedward has a how to pov video that explains everything! Good luck, be safe, have fun!

  1691. I do! Have been getting it from Lockton Affinity.
    3
  1692. Looks like they have a sale right now for $650
    3
  1693. I think the BRZ is still softer, especially around town.
    3
  1694. A little bump w/shadows in premiere but that's it. Hoping the Hero 11 improves on dynamic range. These bright sunny days are killing me exposure-wise!
    3
  1695. We do, itā€™s been awesome
    3
  1696. Thanks! the new old eBay parts made a big difference šŸ‘
    3
  1697. I decided to try out the Husky mats, fit seems to be a bit better than what I've experienced with weathertech, still not amazing. Should protect all the red carpet though, which is the goal!
    3
  1698. šŸ‘like Road America!
    3
  1699. About half a quart
    3
  1700. Just kept driving it, itā€™s still there but not as bad.
    3
  1701. https://www.macsmotorcitygarage.com/foot-pounds-and-pound-feet-the-difference/ ā€œThe proper term for torque in English units is the pound-foot, which we can find abbreviated any number of ways, such as lb.-ft., lb-ft, lb/ft, and so on. However, a foot-pound is a unit of work. Engines certainly do produce work as well as power, but in this case torque is the property in reference.ā€
    3
  1702. I'm glad they didn't, it's so easy to heel-toe in this car and much more satisfying to learn it and then do it yourself.
    3
  1703. Gotta stay confusing!
    3
  1704. Not sure, but a coil spring conversion + a lift is pretty reasonable.
    3
  1705. This is a GLT by euro standards...I'm honestly not sure what they call NA's here in the US... This is a 2.4L non-turbo 20v
    3
  1706. That used to be the case with hydraulic and manual steering racks but with new EPS systems youā€™ll break suspension components before the steering gets ripped out of your hands.
    3
  1707. Just go faster!
    3
  1708. It made it through the week unscathed šŸ˜‚šŸ‘
    3
  1709. Not sure, hoping to find a local owner!
    3
  1710. Supra 2.0
    3
  1711. Iā€™ll have a track video coming out soon with rev marching turned off, it feels great. Rev drop feels about right, no rev hang complaints for me.
    3
  1712. aaaactually it's a Toyota development vehicle lol. So Toyota made an LC and engineers are racing it, which is still cool!
    3
  1713. If I didnā€™t have the 850 R Iā€™d have one.
    3
  1714. Yeah Iā€™ve been wanting to drive it again. Weā€™re working on it, but there wasnā€™t a press car in MI last time we checked. Hopefully they bring one here in the winter on snow tires šŸ™Œ
    3
  1715. No, that X5 is amazing!
    3
  1716. Zero rust right up until we sold it for our Highlander 12 months later šŸ‘
    3
  1717. There are a couple on the app store but I use Harryā€™s LapTimer to get a general idea of what laps Iā€™m putting down
    3
  1718. Feels like home!
    3
  1719. I just said thatā€™s what I was cross shopping this with. The list was: 3rd gen Viper Audi RS3 BMW M2 Competition Mach-e GT Subaru BRZ GR86 CPO Porsche Tesla Model 3 Performance
    3
  1720. V8 AWD Manual Nissan Sentra SER with 769 hp for $28,000 šŸ™Œ
    3
  1721. No issues on the 16s, but you definitely have to be careful, there is not a lot of material to take on impacts!
    3
  1722. The new Corolla XSE 6-speed manual hatchback is awesome. Depends on your budget though!
    3
  1723. Imo the shift knob is the biggest difference, both are great shifters. The ITS maybe has a bit more weight to it? Hard to tell without driving both back to back
    3
  1724. Integra should drive awesome. How itā€™ll lookā€¦. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    3
  1725. No rev-hang!
    3
  1726. When we can get our hands on it, definitely
    3
  1727. I wanted a slightly taller sidewall on our rough roads here in MI, I would've gone 265/35, but Bridgestone only makes a 255/35 - which is still great on a 9.5" wheel.
    3
  1728. Since the BRZ is power limited not gear limited at top speed, it should help a bit. 6th is pretty tall and this would put it at higher revs for more power in top gear. Speed is read from the wheel speed sensors so no change in speedo with the new diff. Thanks for watching!
    3
  1729. I didnā€™t do the pedal dance, just traction off. It shouldnā€™t cut power with the pedal dance but will need to try that out in the future.
    3
  1730. Local auto parts stores have them! Try to find the ones that rotate (they stay in place better when washing, etc)
    3
  1731. I thought about installing them separately to see the difference but once it was all up in the air I couldnā€™t wait lol. I may uninstall the bracing someday to get it powder coated black, the white is kinda strange to see under there. I did just the subframe inserts on my 96 auto and it definitely tightened up the front end, but combined with the bracing on this car I can feel the whole body is more composed and able to let the suspension perform better. And yes, I did! The volans just got refinished yesterday, sticky rubber will be on those soonish... waiting to hear back if we can get tires to review
    3
  1732. Fixed! Iā€™m so used to posting Tacoma videos that muscle memory kicked in
    3
  1733. For Krown you want to apply every year
    3
  1734. Prepositions šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ˜‚
    3
  1735. Platinum is coming up next!
    3
  1736. Happy birthday!
    3
  1737. In every video I drive the car 15 minutes to a random parking lot, sit and wait a couple hours for the coolant and oil temp to cool down completely so I can then cold start the car and rev this piss out of it.
    3
  1738. I havenā€™t noticed a difference between the BRZ and GR86 throttle tuning, gotta drive both back to back someday but to me they feel about the same.
    3
  1739. Thatā€™s true, itā€™s something that the gladiator doesnā€™t suffer from.
    3
  1740. The Supra is one of the better BMWs šŸ’€
    3
  1741. I prefer the base, itā€™s just more fun with those primacy tires!
    3
  1742. Change your oil regularly and drive it for about 10 mins or so before ragging on it and youā€™re good to go!
    3
  1743. I did play around with the brightness/contrast and that seems to have helped a lot. Before I didnā€™t realize there was a separate menu setting for the reverse camera
    3
  1744. Boom.
    3
  1745. Happy Birthday Rick!
    3
  1746. The Leaf is great šŸ‘
    3
  1747. Sold for $8901
    3
  1748. Coming in a couple weeks!
    3
  1749. Until the Supra has a manual, this.
    3
  1750. Yep, bought mine from Lethal performance
    3
  1751. That's a good point, I was thinking about getting a custom tune before next season, even if it's just to gain a bit more power. The initial data log I ran looked great, but that was with just a couple hard pulls to redline, not extended track driving.
    3
  1752. Sweet!! These things are ridiculously fun.
    3
  1753. šŸ˜‚
    3
  1754. Double, triple checked, canā€™t find a quick pull tab in our SX Prestige. I know there is definitely one in the SX and lower trims though.
    3
  1755. Half Armenian, half Scottish!
    3
  1756. Haha at least trees are predictable! Cars and people...not so much
    3
  1757. I do need to drive this! Peak PHEV
    3
  1758. Talked to Toyota today, they donā€™t know yet šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    3
  1759. Kyle Kellett weā€™ve got one coming in a couple weeks!
    3
  1760. Itā€™s understandable why values have gone up so much! Itā€™s one of the best drivers cars ever made. Vibration is definitely clutch buzz, only on deceleration and stops when lightly pressing on the clutch pedal. Itā€™s getting better though with more driving šŸ‘šŸ‘
    3
  1761. Iā€™m just happy to get my hands on a BRZ! I mean, the BRZ is in the garage, whereas Z availability will be tough. I also do need a back seat for baby Toph so a 2 seater would be tough.
    3
  1762. BMW performance driving school in Spartanburg, SC
    3
  1763. Thank you!
    3
  1764. Amen brotha. Always wanted to drive one of the Ranger Tremors, they look good!
    3
  1765. Hines lakeview and river view are decent, island lake, tree farm, Maybury, hickory glen. Those are the ones I frequent the most šŸ‘
    3
  1766. Great choice on the Camaro, I was considering one of those recently too
    3
  1767. -Binaural Audio recorded with Roland CS-10EM Microphones http://amzn.to/2qKRbwA -Zoom H2n recorder http://amzn.to/2pQqVkq And thanks, that's the goal!

  1768. Waft
    3
  1769. Seems like it'll be the way to go! Here you go: 39381-31M-A03 ADS UNIT (REWRITABLE)
    3
  1770. Itā€™s not as soft as the FK8 was in comfort mode, but definitely livable day to day. Sport and +R are too stiff, but comfort seems to strike a nice balance (everywhere, even track).
    3
  1771. The new civic is great šŸ‘
    3
  1772. I was so happy to finally nail that one down
    3
  1773. Power Reserve
    3
  1774. Thatā€™s what I was worried about too! A few hundred miles later I got into it a bit and it sounds surprisingly good without the sound enhancement!
    3
  1775. Si!
    3
  1776. Thanks man! I was considering Iconic Silver too, yours looks great šŸ‘
    3
  1777. Heck yeah! This was a good one šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘
    3
  1778. More rear seat room and cargo space!
    3
  1779. An oldie but a goodie! TBH the rear sway and didnā€™t really do much at all. Iā€™d go with a front/rear combo or just leave it stock and dial in some more negative camber in the front
    3
  1780. Hey, thanks for watching! I think the LX 570 takes the cake with smoothest driving experience and nicest interior. Iā€™d go drive both to see what you prefer though, good luck with the search!
    3
  1781. I do. Theyā€™re not quite as good in the snow/ice but so much better to drive on wet and dry roads.
    3
  1782. Yeah, the highlander isn't going anywhere - that's still the main family hauler
    3
  1783. Same!
    3
  1784. Way more torque and cruising speed confidence with the Mten4, Kingsong is maybe a little more stable at speed, but just barely. Mten4 is more nimble and feels lighter under you (it is, by a few lbs). I enjoy my ks14d but could see myself riding this way more often
    3
  1785. No Savagegeese weā€™re harmed in the filming of this video.
    3
  1786. What Volvo?
    3
  1787. Got it from Phenomenato. Took forever to arrive but great quality. Admiralty Grey Nato Strap 20 mm / Short / Brushed
    3
  1788. šŸ˜‚
    3
  1789. Win!
    3
  1790. Do you prefer the way the 470 drives over the 570?
    3
  1791. Oh ya! Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 in 225/40/18
    3
  1792. Maybe, curious to see what comes out from PRL - it'd be fun to unleash some induction/turbo noises
    3
  1793. 15:44 CarPlay psychedelic modešŸ¤Ŗ
    3
  1794. Yeah it sold pretty fast. The only guy who came to see it in person put down a deposit the next day and bought it! Lots of interest in this car, glad it went to a good home. And itā€™s staying in MI
    3
  1795. Just checked, unfortunately no dice on turning the turn signal volume down. Just gotta wear ear plugs šŸ˜‚
    3
  1796. This is how I drive to work...
    3
  1797. If thereā€™s a sensor for it in your vehicle, definitely!
    3
  1798. Holly oaks has been a go-to spot this summer, but not sure about much besides off-road parks in se mi
    3
  1799. Thanks man!
    3
  1800. Depends on how much you leave your garage light on while sitting in a lawn chair admiring it. Otherwise, $0, because it doesnā€™t plug in.
    3
  1801. No
    3
  1802. Agreed on all fronts! And good catch, binaural audio didnā€™t work on this video - weā€™ll be back in action in the next one!
    3
  1803. Still the speedy!
    3
  1804. I'm still sad about that
    3
  1805. I need to spend some more time in the GTI, was so turned off by the UI at first that I kind of wrote it off but with some more time in the Golf R I got used to it. Will try to get another one in to test here soon
    3
  1806. Yeah that was a tough one to hand back! Gorgeous watch
    3
  1807. šŸ˜‚coining a new phrase, combo between a spoiler and a splitter hahah
    3
  1808. A manual swap on this would be sweet!
    3
  1809. That manual Tacoma review was one of my first reviews! Itā€™s such a fun truck
    3
  1810. Prepositions: can't live with them, can't live AT them.
    3
  1811. Iā€™ll do a comparison once Iā€™ve spent some more time in it, but on first impressions raptor is the king of the midsize segment.
    3
  1812. šŸ˜‚
    3
  1813. I am definitely campaigning for a WRX and BRZ Wilderness!
    3
  1814. Amazing
    3
  1815. To achieve total baller status
    3
  1816. Once all that dirt and oil hardens it makes for a pretty nice barrier against salt. I used to drive on dirt roads after getting my gx coated and once it all dried up it made for a pretty tough coating on the underbody. Iā€™d rather get my hands a little dirty working under the car than fighting seized bolts, etc.
    3
  1817. Hopefully Honda will come up with a solution for the US market in a year or so. I'll complain some during the Integra Type S launch haha
    3
  1818. Stock ones went a bit bendy with the previous owner. No idea on weight, but appreciate the extra strength.
    3
  1819. Nice! Woodward is crazy right now. The potholes are more under control this time of year, which is good. Bracing for freeze thaw!
    3
  1820. I have a FiST video coming soon! That was such a great car, almost bought one instead of my 2014 BRZ but wanted to go RWD.
    3
  1821. Yeah thatā€™s a good point, wasnā€™t sure what to do to retain binaural audio for the videos but I should mic him up with something
    3
  1822. Tbh Iā€™ve always had more fun in the GR Corolla. Iā€™d try to go drive both and see what speaks to you more but I hope that helps!
    3
  1823. Jimmie Romero good to know! Also the Sportage is a bit of a wolf in sheepā€™s clothing, I remember I really enjoyed my week in that a few years ago. Theyā€™ve updated it since too.
    3
  1824. The E92 is still my favorite M3 of all time. Such a great chassis, engine, all of it. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3D9bowGCF83T0BdpSfBc4t
    3
  1825. Good choice, getting my wife a CX-30 too!
    3
  1826. Theyā€™re so fun. Gotta collect them all!
    3
  1827. Thatā€™s transfer case gear whine from being in 4 low. For some reason they made us go into 4 lo for this course šŸ˜„
    3
  1828. Just filmed it yesterday!
    3
  1829. We've got one scheduled in a couple weeks - video should be out in March!
    3
  1830. Woah! Small world, small internet!
    3
  1831. Type S suspension tuning is perfect, active damper disable is underdamped. Fine for winter driving on squishy tires and rough roads but a little too soft the rest of the year
    3
  1832. Itā€™ll be ok
    3
  1833. Would have loved to let him drive, but need to be 25 to drive a Porsche press car...he's gotta hurry up and get older!
    3
  1834. https://youtu.be/dBGfiG3CJjM
    3
  1835. Haha I figured šŸ˜„
    3
  1836. We tried to get our hands on it last fall but it didn't happen - we'll keep bugging them!
    3
  1837. it completely disconnects the rear drive unit when pulled, so the only thing it'll wear down are the tires and brake pads.
    3
  1838. definitely will try to get into a manual! And out on track if timing allows
    3
  1839. Black bay pro šŸ¤™
    3
  1840. I was actually thinking about removing the sway bars to see if it improves handling in the dirt/snow. Pretty happy with the stock suspension as is!
    3
  1841. Totally different beasts! Type R is way more fun to shift, much shorter gearing. But the Supra's power is addictive and you're driving a dedicated sports car platform, which is worth appreciating.
    3
  1842. They look like a blast! Really wanted to buy Randy Pobsts wagon a couple years ago haha. But I havenā€™t driven a well sorted one and always have wanted to. My mom has a great 02 s60 5-speed but itā€™s fwd and naturally aspirated. And I drove a beat s60r manual briefly but that barely counts.
    3
  1843. ...that drives like Porsche designed it
    3
  1844. It's even more pronounced in person, the mics were struggling!
    3
  1845. Still not cheap but at least youā€™re getting a fully loaded truck with good feature content for $50k
    3
  1846. Donā€™t lick it
    3
  1847. Steel is real! Haha Iā€™ve sprayed krown on my bikes too for winter riding, and the hitch rack!
    3
  1848. YES! This video's first YouTube pissing match! It's taken long enough...glad you guys could come through for me.
    3
  1849. Pam's Mom's Map!
    3
  1850. Ultimately, I think the GR86 formula is really hard to beat. The GR Corolla is a lot more useful though, and on loose surface itā€™ll be unstoppable. Canā€™t wait to get one of these in the snow.
    3
  1851. Nah, premium plus or overtrail are the best value šŸ‘
    3
  1852. Soon!
    3
  1853. Nah, a-trac got through everything really well. Kinda wish it had crawl control, but itā€™s not necessary for what Iā€™m doing with it
    3
  1854. Welcome, and thanks!!
    3
  1855. Coming soon šŸ™Œ
    3
  1856. The internal GoPro audio does have some delay to it, and there is a bit of delay with the paddles, but not as much as there is in the video. Not sure what the vibration was, I didnā€™t hear it in-car with my helmet on so it could also have been the camera.
    3
  1857. I do this on my bicycle
    3
  1858. Sweet! Youā€™re going to love it. And youā€™re right, below 70k is really nice value.
    3
  1859. Shoutout to Zygrene https://youtube.com/@Zygrene and the owner https://instagram.com/s2kerik?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

  1861. https://www.jalopnik.com/1820948/2025-porsche-911-carrera-s-first-drive/
    3
  1862. It's pretty neutral in my experience - I'd have to drive the GR86 and BRZ back-to-back to see the differences in suspension tuning, but ever since 2017 Subaru and Toyota have nailed the chassis setup on these cars
    3
  1863. Dang it! The Accord V6 is such a sweet daily. Go test drive them all!
    3
  1864. Will do for sure
    3
  1865. Or, maybe you could swap in LX seats? Iā€™m with you on the low key nature of the LC, and thereā€™s something really attractive about the relative simplicity.
    3
  1866. Ram Dodge FCA Stellantis 1500
    3
  1867. Not a huge difference, I installed the MTEC because I pulled my oem one out and couldnā€™t get it back in lol. Itā€™s a nice middle ground between oem and no helper spring w/regards to weight. Gives slightly more feel too
    3
  1868. Local SCCA Chapter facebook groups, websites, motorsportsreg.com, myautoevents.com are all great places to start!
    3
  1869. Depends on the compound, some ultra high performance summer/track tires will crack if you drive on them at freezing temps, others will just get hard and have less grip.
    3
  1870. Mmmmm the Ford Explorer...RWD Platform, Engine from the Ford GT, pinnacle of luxury!
    3
  1871. Depends what youā€™re going to do with the car but Iā€™ll have a video on recommended mods soon!
    3
  1872. āœ‹me lol
    3
  1873. No cam phaser noise on my RR. Had some valve train noise on startup for a little while running pennzoil ultra platinum, switched back to the motorcraft blend and it went away šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    3
  1874. Dangit!
    3
  1875. I turned it off
    3
  1876. They both have their advantages, but overall I definitely prefer this to the V8. It's just more fun to ride!
    3
  1877. But really, theyā€™re starting to come out with electric unicycles that have suspension. Around town, thatā€™s all you need šŸ™Œ
    3
  1878. Itā€™s doable with a good set of winter tires, but not for the faint of heart!
    3
  1879. Not sure about the MK8 but in previous gens they were definitely a weak point!
    3
  1880. The camera tape worked great šŸ‘ šŸ˜„
    3
  1881. Also check out the track video we posted on this Miata here: https://youtu.be/l_BK7rVWVLY
    3
  1882. We tried that at first and it introduced some drone, didnā€™t sound as good as the resonator deletes.
    3
  1883. Loving it! Itā€™s been such a great daily for my wife. Iā€™ve been driving it more recently too and really glad we got it.
    3
  1884. No relation! Just two Tophers
    3
  1885. Pretty sure most Nissan buyers want race car based on how they drive šŸ˜‚
    3
  1886. Those Genesis Coupes were fun! We had a bunch of them to test back in the early Winding Road channel days
    3
  1887. Those pilot sport 4s are really bad. Continental extremecontact sports will be a lot quieter, pretty much anything else in that category will offer better noise levels. Downsizing to 17s will help too
    3
  1888. Yep! šŸ‘‹ headed to Grand Highlander launch
    3
  1889. Mahalo! šŸ¤™ glad you said hi!
    3
  1890. The turbo engine doesnā€™t have cylinder deactivation! Thatā€™s a big win for reliability right there
    3
  1891. Original wheels are sitting in the garage. You shouldnā€™t really drive on the oem tires under 40Ā°f
    3
  1892. Yep! Had good reliability with it. Got a 10 the other day and it had exposure issues so I returned it. For the settings we use the 8 is just as good imo
    3
  1893. Thatā€™s understandable! Iā€™ve filmed this car so many times before I decided to gloss over a lot of the details.
    3
  1894. It all depends, if you think a brz will fit your needs it really makes for a fun daily driver. Itā€™s one of the few cars I look forward to driving, that and my GX460 lol
    3
  1895. Cruise control šŸ‘
    3
  1896. +j_mosk sounds like a pretty ideal garage combo!

  1898. A little more road noise on the Michelins but both tires perform amazing in all conditions. Of course grip in the Type R is on another level. I had an old set of DWS06 tires and they got louder with age, curious to see how both of these do with more time/miles.

  1899. In a Hyundai!

  1900. The leg-humping French bulldog of cars!

  1901. Amazon wireless adapter šŸ‘

  1902. So far so good šŸ‘
    3
  1903. The 40 sidewalls are actually less $, surprisingly - $225 vs $233 for the 35s.
    3
  1904. Was not a fan!
    3
  1905. Everyone should just buy a Miata
    3
  1906. Thatā€™s what I thought too, no dice
    3
  1907. I hear theyā€™re a pain to replace too with all the safety sensors and cameras!
    3
  1908. I loved the Falken Wildpeak A/T on the BRZ, dirt and mud performance were next levelā€¦might try the new Falken Rubitrek A/T, seems pretty similar to the AT4W but with slightly better road manners.
    3
  1909. That's a good question - I didn't see a button for it, so I'm going to assume no sport exhaust. And thanks, this was a super fun day! Really cool that Porsche makes experiences like this accessible to the public (probably sells a few cars too, hahah).
    3
  1910. 2 series is fun! Not Elantra N fun, but would definitely try to drive one and see if you like it.
    3
  1911. Miata is still the answer!
    3
  1912. Thatā€™d be awesome, thanks for the offer! I need to make it out there again to film with Zygrene
    3
  1913. It does but itā€™s a bit sad. Get the manual!
    3
  1914. I definitely prefer the T8, the power is awesome
    3
  1915. Yeah, that wasnā€™t good!
    3
  1916. Embrace the beige!
    3
  1917. Miatas are awesome, but I need the space/practicality of the BRZ right now.
    3
  1918. The "Lexus Memory System" is standard on everything except the base model Premium and Overtrail trims.
    3
  1919. No, thatā€™s all down to the Integraā€™s tuning
    3
  1920. For sheer thrills itā€™d have to be the Camaro, and the fact that itā€™s different from anything Iā€™ve had. Canā€™t beat the practicality of the type r though. Theyā€™re both amazing cars. Really curious to see how they compare on track. Iā€™m sure the Camaro will be faster but the Type R is one of my favorite track cars Iā€™ve ever driven.
    3
  1921. Itā€™s a champ! https://youtu.be/M6xd8ocd-vA
    3
  1922. Good to know, still not that familiar with Michelinā€™s tire naming after they switched from super sports
    3
  1923. Yeah a tune should fix that. Going to look into it this spring
    3
  1924. Oh yeah, itā€™s already been done. Getting into the frame and inside the body panels is the most important part, so would highly recommend drilling. You donā€™t even notice it with the rubber grommets they put on after.
    3
  1925. Haha Iā€™ve seriously thought about it
    3
  1926. Itā€™ll stay with whatever setting you last left it at
    3
  1927. Meh
    3
  1928. As long as you donā€™t have any rear facing seats thereā€™s plenty of room in the back, I think youā€™d be in great shape šŸ‘
    3
  1929. You can, I actually learned about it on a bronco forum. I believe itā€™s the same fuse too
    3
  1930. No magnetic dampers, that wouldā€™ve been awesome
    3
  1931. Yeszir. And sweet! My dad just picked up a MIDO Multifort TV, says it's one of the most accurate watches he's owned. Enjoy it!
    3
  1932. Yeszir
    3
  1933. For fun factor Iā€™d pick the WRX, itā€™s such a great daily
    3
  1934. Definitely drive both to see what you prefer
    3
  1935. Factory Five Racing Shelby Cobra Replica.
    3
  1936. I think itā€™s straight from an SS

    3
  1940. $1000

  1941. Log cabin?

  1942. The BMW Z3 M Roadster was the top of the line variant for the E36/7 Z3 Roadster. Introduced in 1998, the M Roadster featured a 3.2L inline six engine. Initially, the M Roadster was fitted with BMW's S50 engine (S52 in North America), but in late 2001, BMW fitted their updated, and more powerful S54 inline six engine. Regardless of engine, the Z3 M featured a 5 speed manual transmission that sent drive to the rear wheels. Built until 2002, the BMW Z3 M Roadster would eventually be replaced by the Z4 M Roadster in 2006. https://www.classic.com/m/bmw/z3/roadster/m/
    3
  1943. I had a press car with the TRD on it once and it droned like crazy, wasnā€™t a fan unfortunately
    3
  1944. Sweet! Those are beautiful watches. And yeah itā€™s too useful to ever get rid of. Just got it serviced and it keeps great time finally šŸ‘
    3
  1945. The 840i is really really good. Still if you want that extra magic, the 850 canā€™t hurt anything but your wallet.
    3
  1946. Autolab in Plymouth šŸ‘
    3
  1947. The potholes have gotten insane!
    3
  1948. After 4 winters I have very little corrosion on the suspension and no rust signs starting elsewhere, surprisingly. Just to be sure though this year I took it to Krown and got it rust proofed for peace of mind šŸ‘
    3
  1949. Just got a set of Michelin X-ice snows in for the BRZ, will report back mid to late November šŸ‘
    3
  1950. Definitely a nice difference in ride vs. the 19s!
    3
  1951. 10/10 would want to meet kia jesus
    3
  1952. Heā€™s got some great videos!
    3
  1953. Ride is pretty good, firm but not punishing or too abrupt any time. Thereā€™s just a lot of tire noise, silly Michelins.
    3
  1954. Theyā€™re all about the same
    3
  1955. Drool just keeps getting on the lens at high speeds šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    3
  1956. Sorry to hear. All good here. I get the occasional rattle on startup but not loud enough to be concerning/cam phasers.
    3
  1957. The LC has a special place in my heart, especially the convertible
    3
  1958. I mean, yes to both of these!
    3
  1959. That was a terrifying lap!
    3
  1960. It does not, sadly
    3
  1961. Broncoā€™s shifter is a lot better imo. Wranglerā€™s 6-speed felt cheap and flimsy
    3
  1962. haha in Plymouth MI Broncos and Corvettes are at pretty much every stoplight. We don't even notice them anymore.
    3
  1963. So you donā€™t break your eggs jumping off the railroad tracks!
    3
  1964. Theyā€™re all pretty good tbh. GR Corolla and Type R have adaptive cruise and lane centering which helps take some fatigue off, but the BRZ is pretty comfortable on long road trips too. I wouldnā€™t hesitate to take any of these on a longer trip.
    3
  1965. Can't wait. Eyeing some dedicated winter tires!
    3
  1966. The hat clip is upside down with the hat overtightened and angled up so you can see under the GoPro.
    3
  1967. Not really, the car is still super neutral. And there's not a ton of torque steer, so when it does present itself I think it's kind of exciting - journalists complained torque steer out of existence and that was a mistake imo.
    3
  1968. Heck yeah, your truck was the inspiration for the Sasquatch wheels! Iā€™ve read through that thread on Ranger6g so many times. Iā€™ve been thinking about painting my rings carbonized gray but for now am liking the way the silver pops. Your truck looks awesome, glad youā€™re enjoying it!
    3
  1969. Type R is only ~30lbs lighter than the Type S
    3
  1970. Only because the top and been down for a week straight until that point šŸ˜†
    3
  1971. All in the description! šŸ‘
    3
  1972. CX-5 is the way to go! If we would've bought that to begin with we wouldn't feel the need to up-size right now.
    3
  1973. Coming soon!
    3
  1974. Only in the Starbucks parking lot
    3
  1975. It's close, you can't really go wrong with either one. My friend and I were talking about this the other day and the V8/Glide 3 is consistently the one we take out the most. Range is a factor in that, but so is ride quality. Both are going to be pretty reliable and maintenance free. I think the KS14D is a bit more fun to ride on short distances, but the V8 has the fewest compromises. At the end of the day our advice is always to just get all of them lol.
    3
  1976. This is most likely
    3
  1977. Just using all the road šŸ˜ˆ
    3
  1978. Thatā€™d be my first mod on a 2023 šŸ‘
    3
  1979. No impact on rev hang, youā€™d have to get a tune
    3
  1980. Weā€™re getting a really good deal on this Highlander, and we want something spacious enough to last us if we decide to have another kid too. If we got the cx-5 to start we wouldnā€™t be thinking about upsizing yet. And sweet, congrats! The 3 turbo such a good daily driver.
    3
  1981. Right Lane Hog lol the GX has been great. Havenā€™t had any snow yet though!
    3
  1982. Hi!
    3
  1983. That's the best part of takeout!
    3
  1984. That seems right, sync doesnā€™t like to be rushed
    3
  1985. Not anymore! šŸ˜‚
    3
  1986. Type R for the summer, GR Corolla for the winter! BRZ for both ;) but really, I donā€™t think the Type R will be a very fun winter car. No handbrake, no heated seats or steering wheel, freezing shifterā€¦.honestly Iā€™d recommend the WRX. Itā€™s actually available to buy at dealers and you can get one without a ridiculous markup.
    3
  1987. Oh yeah, not going to argue with that - BRZ might even be more fun
    3
  1988. Itā€™s ELS for me all the way. Some other people I know prefer this bowers and Wilkins though
    3
  1989. When we bought this we had a really small garage, and the RAV4 barely fit, that was a big factor. But mostly my wife loved the way this cx-30 drove over just about anything else we tested.
    3
  1990. Haulin ass, passin gas
    3
  1991. Would recommend! My go-to A/T for winter driving used to be the Destination X/T but this has much better road performance. If you do a lot of off-roading id still recommend the X/T. Also need to test the MT2 somedayā€¦
    3
  1992. Itā€™s a shame, most new cars donā€™t have a spare anymore. You can probably get one as an option or something from a different model but most people wonā€™t even realize it until itā€™s too late.
    3
  1993. Theyā€™re both fantastic. Hard to say otherwise without hearing back to back but from memory seem about even
    3
  1994. I was uncomfortable when I said it, when I realized I couldn't really edit it out, and when I uploaded the video and watched it again. Yeah, everyone ignore that. I watch too many Chris Harris videos...
    3
  1995. Nope, and it shouldnā€™t
    3
  1996. A little stiffer but it handles a lot better.
    3
  1997. Drove a R1T a couple weeks ago, loved it! Iā€™ll upload the video soon šŸ‘
    3
  1998. I wouldnā€™t worry about street use on the tires. drive on em, enjoy them!
    3
  1999. yeszir, great track!
    3
  2000. Nope! 2014 didn't burn oil either
    3
  2001. Havenā€™t had any issues with mine, but tbh the Camaro doesnā€™t really need a pedal commander. Stock throttle tuning and drive mode adjustability is very well done from the factory. .
    3
  2002. Got it off Etsy, 3D printed šŸ‘
    3
  2003. Thatā€™s a good point, but itā€™s lack of front end grip also. BFGs have always been a good all-rounder but they have their limitations like anything else.
    3
  2004. šŸ˜‚ And, ā€œwe can take that semi truck.ā€
    3
  2005. Itā€™s those damn tires. Every car I drive w/PS4s has the same issue. Even the primacies have some noise over expansion joints, etc but theyā€™re better. For comparison when the winters were mounted on my BRZ all that was pretty much gone except for a little bit of tread growl.
    3
  2006. Nope, no CELs. Just a software bug Iā€™m sure theyā€™ll work out someday
    3
  2007. Pretty much!
    3
  2008. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚indeedly
    3
  2009. Definitely would recommend it, itā€™s been awesome. Mpg has aceraged between 17-19, 20+ on road trips with premium fuel
    3
  2010. GR86: not for lumberjacks
    3
  2011. Thanks! It's a '95 GLT
    3
  2012. Current M2 looks fantastic. Iā€™m worried about what the future holds.
    3
  2013. I still have em! Just got them back from being refinished. Theyā€™re going to be the summer performance/track wheels
    3
  2014. Right now, in North America itā€™s the Supra. Thatā€™s it
    3
  2015. Good to hear the Continentals a made a difference! I need to look up some RC F exhaust videosā€¦
    3
  2016. If it was a recent video, It was this same car
    3
  2017. Very happy with this muffled axle-back! You might see a small improvement in mpg/power with a cat-back exhaust, but any gains here are probably negligible.
    3
  2018. Elantra N is an even better replacement imo! Miata is doing great, haha
    3
  2019. The GX 460 does all the winter things...or one of the weekly press cars!
    3
  2020. This is pretty normal, weā€™ve experienced the same too when starting to ride. The more you ride the better itā€™ll get. Gotta develop those new foot muscles! Wearing thicker tougher shoes tends to help too.
    3
  2021. Downtown Rochester, MI!
    3
  2022. Akebono pads, right?
    3
  2023. Flashing red = stop sign
    3
  2024. Could be a subscription šŸ˜‚
    3
  2025. Need to do a Miata vs. S2K comparison!
    3
  2026. Iā€™m not sure what was going on with the One R in this one, itā€™s never happened before. I did a firmware update and Iā€™ll keep an eye out for it, no good!
    3
  2027. Iā€™ll make it live soon šŸ‘
    3
  2028. Thanks to Michael Simari for tagging along and helping with a few of the shots, you can see Mike's photo work at: https://www.simariphotography.com/
    3
  2029. Absolutely! You have to rev them out a little more to get into the powerband but theyā€™re a really fun and practical option.
    3
  2030. Ya, thatā€™s Substitute Topherā€™s personal channel šŸ‘šŸ‘
    3
  2031. Yeah it was sitting at full lock for a little bit in some of those slides! The steering angle in the Miata is really good, that helps. It definitely keeps you on your toes. Would love to slide an s2000 around someday, weā€™ll get there!
    3
  2032. Press fleets!
    3
  2033. I was wondering that too. Should be able to just brush/power wash it off and itā€™ll be fine
    3
  2034. Iā€™d rather have the Cayman GTS 4.0, that is a truly special car!
    3
  2035. You donā€™t need it, but itā€™s good peace of mind - I usually get it šŸ‘
    3
  2036. I did that to my 2014, had to keep an eye on leaks, but it was a good solution for slightly better temps on track and faster warm-ups on cold days!
    3
  2037. From other cars
    3
  2038. Woot! Man, great times.

  2039. 6:35 revolutionary

  2040. The steering is very heavy! Iā€™d try to drive both to see what you prefer

  2041. Speedmaster 3861 Hesalite - bought it after my first son was born! It'll be his someday if he can pry it from my skinny wrinkled wrists.
    3
  2042. Oh ya! Check out Tedwardā€™s recent video on the POV setup
    3
  2043. Demmer Ford. Had to drop it off, it took most of the day, but it may go faster now that they've done a few. Give them a call and see what they say.
    3
  2044. S3: $45,800. Golf R $44,090. Premium plus S3 is only a few grand more. Youā€™re right in that theyā€™re not equal in features but Iā€™d be willing to give up a few options for the more premium S3, and I think the S-tronic gearbox is better to drive than the DSG šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    3
  2045. I have a heel/toe technique video but should do a more introductory manual video
    3
  2046. The rear resonator delete was a little too droney for my taste but the front resonator delete w/the exhaust valve mod is perfect imo
    3
  2047. Ultimately Iā€™d still go for the BRZ but the WRX is a great one car solution.

  2049. Not really, both cars handle amazing. BRZ felt really neutral just like the 86. Maybe if I drove both back to back could tell a difference.
    3
  2050. There's still a bit of rear pad drag around corners in +R mode, unfortunately.

  2056. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø theyā€™re both great, itā€™s splitting hairs between the two tbh. Canā€™t tell if itā€™s the different shift knobs or actual differences in feel
    3
  2057. Boom! Love it šŸ‘šŸ‘

  2095. +Brent Moore Those are winter tires! They were 225s, and a bit too wide for deep snow, so I went to a set of 195/60/16 pizza cutters and now the car will get through anything, it doesn't even need sand bags. I'd recommend getting a skinny, cheap, 16" winter tire - the Blizzak WS80s are amazing.
    2
  2096. +Da BRZbeast Brz is still being daily driven! I have some plans for it this winter, I'll have to post an update in January.
    2
  2097. +Da BRZbeast Cosworth pads, and probably OFT headers and a stage two tune šŸ‘

  2099. Recorded this one in binaural audio, don't forget the headphones!
    2
  2100. +the-ELiTE-boarder if you get narrower snow tires you'll get through anything. I'd recommend a set of blizzak WS80s
    2
  2101. +the-ELiTE-boarder and the brz does awesome. I drive it every day in the winter, it's gotten up some steep hills and deep snow without any drama. It's all in the tires. Even won an ice race with the car lol.
    2
  2102. +sergsrt8 Yeah they take a couple hundred miles to break in - They can be super greasy at the start!
    2
  2103. I do, about to post a video momentarily!

  2107. +Alex Lopez Fixed, thanks!!
    2
  2108. Ry LewĀ Seat time and brakes! Get some high temp fluid and pads - and bleed your brakes before every day out at the track! Have fun :)
    2
  2109. Sir-Migz that's the plan!
    2
  2110. Yeah, the fast steering rack is nuts. I bet with upgraded pads brakes were even better! I think in 2014 the Fiesta ST had the shortest stopping distance from 60-0 of any Ford ever (104 ft, Motortrend), only to be bested by the GT350R in 2016 (102 ft, Motortrend). I've always likened the Fiesta ST to..."if Porsche made a hot hatch..." lol
    2
  2111. andre surles good to know! My stock mounts feel pretty good to me as is right now, but if I ever need to do engine mounts I'll keep that in mind šŸ‘ not interested in much more vibration.
    2
  2112. Definitely, I've tried most everything else for the xbox one and this wheel is the best by a long shot. Even if it's twice the price of the competition, it's worth saving up for it.
    2
  2113. Steve Smith yeah these were lead follow laps. We were definitely driving well under the limit, but giving it more than what we would do on a street drive. It's just the way this media event is structured. It's a good way to get a general feel for a car though.
    2
  2114. Actually quite a lot, we bought it for $12k. Have about $8k in maintenance, etc. and now it needs a new clutch
    2
  2115. A little bit, not sure if the valve was working properly too. That was one of the cheapest fixes!
    2
  2116. High temp fluid and pads are the best way to go imo.
    2
  2117. Hold onto your Fiesta ST, it's miles more fun to drive. This Elantra GT is enjoyable, has some more room and comfort than your Fiesta, but can't hold a candle to your car dynamically.
    2
  2118. BRZ and Type R - and the wife has the Highlander. I sold the 850R to a friend a few months ago to get the Type R. Donā€™t miss it as much as I thought I would, might get another 850 R someday, but would love a wagonā€¦

    2
  2122. A tune on the BRZ will probably help
    2
  2123. When I bought mine the tires had flat spotted from sitting and couldnā€™t be balanced properly. Iā€™ve had some other issues with getting tires to balance on the GX, but roadforce balancing at discount tire solved it
    2
  2124. When you put the clutch in, lift off the gas, and the engine RPMs don't drop immediately, but instead hover for a second or so. Car throttle has a better explanation here: https://www.carthrottle.com/post/rev-hang-explained-and-why-petrolheads-hate-it/
    2
  2125. Woah!
    2
  2126. Or just use 303 protectant šŸ‘
    2
  2127. Sweet - hit me up on instagram, maybe we can meet up! I know there's a local riding group that frequents Hines, but haven't had a chance to get together with them yet.
    2
  2128. Haha I think I did
    2
  2129. This was the 7000TL
    2
  2130. Working on reviewing a couple of the latest releases, but they keep having issues! Should have some new models to test soon šŸ‘
    2
  2131. Oh yeah, I donā€™t feel like Iā€™m in mortal danger here.
    2
  2132. I have, it was a riot - but unfortunately lots of MT82 transmission issues...
    2
  2133. $18k total
    2
  2134. I averaged around 17-20mpg in mine with regular driving. Road trips were as high as 21-23 depending on the speed. With narrower tires and no lift itā€™s definitely possible!
    2
  2135. Indubitably šŸ§
    2
  2136. This was filmed while the stock exhaust was still on
    2
  2137. Perfect garage right there!
    2
  2138. The LX active height control is hydraulic, but the GX has rear air bags.
    2
  2139. My finger hurt for a week šŸ˜‚
    2
  2140. The GR86 does ride stiff, the best solution would be to swap on a set of '23+ BRZ springs/dampers. Someone who has gone out and gotten coilovers, etc would most likely sell you the whole assembly for cheap.
    2
  2141. It definitely doesnā€™t sound like a 4 cylinder!
    2
  2142. I was thinking about that with the blue accents too, Iā€™m sure the aftermarket will have a solution in no time!
    2
  2143. Gonna Krown it very soon! And absolutely, this will see a lot of winter miles and thatā€™s the only effective way to protect it from the inside out.
    2
  2144. Awesome to hear! Howā€™s the Cusco rear sway bar?
    2
  2145. Yeah, itā€™s a tough one to get right sometimes with the camera frame rate, ambient light at that time of the day, and the screen refresh rate. Gopro does have manual shutter settings as low as 1/50s, but didnā€™t mess around with that on this video.
    2
  2146. It can do a burnout
    2
  2147. Haha yeah realized that a few days ago and turned it on. Gotta have it!
    2
  2148. Those are stock Volans wheels
    2
  2149. Still loving it, need to make an update video!
    2
  2150. You should be in good shape, I know a couple people around 6ā€™3ā€ who drive GR86/BRZs without any issues. You can always try to drive a precious gen to see how you fit. The only difference would be thereā€™s a bit more seat bolstering in the new cars.
    2
  2151. I'm on it as soon as I get it washed next!
    2
  2152. Itā€™s annoyingly expensive but worth it in the elimination of future annoyance. https://www.4dtech.com/ranger-24-25-start-stop-eliminator/

    2
  2161. 850 R and a BRZ/GR 86 is a sweet garage!
    2
  2162. Right now just over 160k miles! When did you get your ipd Turboback? They changed their supplier at some point and the drone got way worse since the version I bought for my 96 auto a few years back. I was going to try to swap out a Borla xr-1 for the stock oval that comes on the system. The problem is the ipd is made from really thin t409 steel and can only be welded by specialty performance shops. Iā€™ll def keep you guys updated šŸ‘
    2
  2163. Nothing šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø if I did probably wouldā€™ve just swapped the oem header back on
    2
  2164. Sounds like a lot of fun! Shoot me an email here, I'd be glad to set something up - mrtopher1989@gmail.com
    2
  2165. ckarsenal Speedmaster Day-Date Mk40!
    2
  2166. A little bit of a tire growl but otherwise found it to be surprisingly quiet at speed šŸ‘
    2
  2167. Small one
    2
  2168. On winter tires itā€™d be a champ. Go for it!
    2
  2169. Spraying the underbody with Fluid film, Krown, or any oil-based rust inhibitor will work great to minimize rust šŸ‘
    2
  2170. Yep, I read about that after filming this one. The ragtop NDs have always felt so much stiffer. It must be the heavier RFā€™s hardtop that contributes to the softer ride of the RF. Thanks for the note!
    2
  2171. It's super goofy looking! Don't worry, I couldn't stand it and there's a new video with the proper setup coming soon haha
    2
  2172. j_mosk yeah, you give up a bit of low end torque in the OFT Stage 1
    2
  2173. I switched back for an oil change at the dealer and thought "this feels faster" lol.
    2
  2174. Lol everyone asks- itā€™s on the screen!
    2
  2175. Had a great hike!
    2
  2176. BRZ/GR86 are more fun imo, but the Supra is properly fast with amazing performance for the money.
    2
  2177. Availability. The BRZ was what I was able to purchase first, I also appreciate the softer ride, but like the GR86 interior better.
    2
  2178. I was thinking about it as an upgrade eventually, but tbh I'm really happy with the way the car drives with just the lift on stock suspension. I'm not doing competitive stage rallies in the car so for daily use and the occasional event like this it should be fine. We'll see how it holds up and upgrade if necessary, but right now I'm not wanting for anything better.
    2
  2179. Itā€™s fun! Great for lower speed around town riding
    2
  2180. Yeah, it's not too bad - a few decent options in every category. 17s are the best value with the most variety, 18s get a little pricier, but still lots of great tires.
    2
  2181. I think itā€™s ~350lbs
    2
  2182. Autolab in Plymouth!
    2
  2183. Yeah
    2
  2184. It might, but it depends on the tire. I tried a 265/70/17 KO2 and it didnā€™t fit. As long as itā€™s 31.5ā€ or smaller diameter you should be good
    2
  2185. Small wheels definitely help! The trick with the BRZ is to put one of them in the spare tire well, stack another on top, and the rest fits beautifully
    2
  2186. Heck yeah, thatā€™s the way to do it!
    2
  2187. All these years Iā€™ve sworn never to ride motorcycles for safety reasons and here I am on EUCs lol. Definitely have to wear full protective gear and keep your head on a swivel. Everyone is trying to run you ovee
    2
  2188. Coming mid March!
    2
  2189. Yeah, need to get back into them!
    2
  2190. Krown, yeah I resprayed some key areas by hand this fall but will probably do another professional application again at the end of this year.
    2
  2191. More shouting! Achtung!
    2
  2192. No
    2
  2193. Absolutely, have fun!
    2
  2194. About $800-$1200 depending on what ceramic coat you go for. Highly recommend Josh!
    2
  2195. I feel you, theyā€™re so much fun in the snow - had to garage my 94 after one winter - couldnā€™t stand all the suspension components rusting.
    2
  2196. The Type R wouldā€™ve been faster but the Camaro was definitely more fun. BRZ on all seasons would be the ultimate move
    2
  2197. I agree re: GT3! It has fresh Modifry straps, but maybe it still needs a helping hand. Everything's gettin' wore out.
    2
  2198. No idea, but just got the invite for the press event - Embargo lifts mid November, so hoping cars start hitting dealers around then!
    2
  2199. Just booked one in late August!
    2
  2200. Haha right!? I tried to shift as much as possible, but still it was definitely a 3rd gear only course.
    2
  2201. We donā€™t require front plates in Michigan šŸ˜Ž
    2
  2202. Falkens are a little quieter, Contiā€™s are little sharper, both great tires
    2
  2203. Nah, havenā€™t had any ground clearance issues rallying and youā€™re not going to turn a BRZ into a rock crawler without serious body and suspension modifications
    2
  2204. They're great for daily driving, low noise - excellent wet traction. The only reason I won't be buying them again is that I want something that won't come apart on the track (considering the Dunlop ZII). Other than that, these tires have been fantastic.
    2
  2205. Yeah check Fuelly for real world results, this has to be pretty underrated. Even my BRZ Is getting 32mpg on the hwy when itā€™s rated for 27
    2
  2206. Thanks for the info! Refreshing tie rods and control arms are probably next up on the list. This is running a MTE/IPD tune, but that's all I know from the previous, previous owner. I'll look into Vast in the spring and see if I can find out if it's M4.4 or M4.3.
    2
  2207. Thatā€™s the goal eventually, I think itā€™d be perfect šŸ‘
    2
  2208. Hines Drive!
    2
  2209. 10-15 years ago this was true but today Hyundai is killing it. They may not be class leading but theyā€™re up there in terms of overall quality and reliability.
    2
  2210. Diff has been awesome!!
    2
  2211. Putting all minivans on notice: now I can keep up!
    2
  2212. +Luis Brito using a hat clip now!
    2
  2213. Not enough range! Otherwise a great little wheel šŸ‘
    2
  2214. I sold the 850 R to a good friend, that made room for the Type R, and then just sold the BRZ for the Ranger Raptor. So now itā€™s that and the two Hondas!
    2
  2215. Iā€™ll try to get ahold of one!
    2
  2216. A set popped up locally on fb Marketplace. Then I just sold the 20ā€ the same way šŸ‘
    2
  2217. I just took it to to the local Car Tunes
    2
  2218. Thanks for the comment - I can only speak to my experience with this car and the Dark Horse I filmed earlier this year at Road America. Both cars had moments where screen response time was completely fine, and other times were way too slow and laggy. Itā€™s inconsistent, and you can see this in my Road America walkaround video first hand. I didnā€™t get it on camera this week, but multiple times with this DH, the infotainment froze for 10-20 seconds trying to load a menu. Also regularly got locked out of changing exhaust modes for some reason. Iā€™m sure Ford can fix a lot of this with software updates and long term it wonā€™t be as big of a deal. But on first impressions I havenā€™t been impressed with these new screens. Thatā€™s fair with normal vs. sport mode, but I donā€™t think itā€™s unreasonable to want more intelligent and adaptive transmission programming based on driving inputs, irrespective of drive mode - especially since this is a flagship high performance car. A lot of manufacturers do this with varying degrees of success to even their most mundane passenger cars, just a note. The solution is just switch to sport mode. Re: paddle shifters- thatā€™s great, but they still feel cheap imo. Especially compared to the Magnesium paddles on the GT500 and Raptors, which are about as good as it gets. Iā€™m sure thatā€™s an easy aftermarket upgrade. Iā€™d like to blame a lot of the issues I had on this being an early production prototype but I have no way of knowing if thatā€™s true. Many oems label their press cars as ā€œpre-productionā€ and we give them a little bit of slack. But I have to assume this is full production unless otherwise noted. Hopefully customer cars have fewer rattles and some of the bugs get worked out with software updates. Because youā€™re right, this drives awesome. Itā€™s sharper and more dialed in than the Mach 1, I didnā€™t say anything to the contrary. For $75k though, they need to get more than just the driving experience right.
    2
  2219. Just the Integra type s damper module šŸ‘
    2
  2220. No baffled sump, itā€™s on the list though when the oil pan gets dropped someday
    2
  2221. Speedmaster day-date mk 40!
    2
  2222. The Elantra N definitely is a bargain, just filmed a manual today!
    2
  2223. Itā€™s the same setup as the Integra type s, front resonator delete šŸ‘
    2
  2224. Thanks, I was questioning whether that was right as soon as I said it
    2
  2225. Roland CS-10EM in-ear binaural mics
    2
  2226. I honestly haven't noticed a difference.
    2
  2227. I still think the Primacies are the most fun to drive tire for the car! It's the perfect balance of grip and slip. A little more grip out of them in these new BRZs and GR86s too, maybe they tweaked the tread compound....
    2
  2228. Also the older IPD exhausts sounded a lot better. Less drone too. Wish I didnā€™t sell my automatic with that version, the newer one I bought for the manual 850R wasnā€™t the same.
    2
  2229. Iā€™ve heard great things about those, might have to give them a try!
    2
  2230. Come shop in MI! Theyā€™re selling for under msrp
    2
  2231. AutoLab- Plymouth mi
    2
  2232. These were sketchy as hell!
    2
  2233. Still enjoying kit šŸ‘
    2
  2234. These are amazing in the rain, would highly recommend them if you get a lot of standing water, but still want decent performance/handling and good tread life.
    2
  2235. For Hyundai thatā€™s normal šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    2
  2236. Got our first snow here this week and same, really impressed with their snow & cold/wet performance.
    2
  2237. My sentiments exactly
    2
  2238. Corolla 6MT all the way!
    2
  2239. it was!
    2
  2240. Thank you!
    2
  2241. Definitely preferred the fk8 suspension. Comfort mode was tuned way better and +R wasnā€™t so unnecessarily bouncy. Iā€™ll see how this setup handles once it gets warmer but very tempted to switch to coilovers once an updated adaptive damper bypass gets released (want to retain drive modes).
    2
  2242. Exactly! That was an awesome video that Jackie put together.
    2
  2243. +R mode is very stiff, comfort mode is as soft as a normal civic
    2
  2244. Weā€™ve known each other for a while through the local car scene, just a coincidence he also goes by Topher!
    2
  2245. KS S19 review is coming soon!
    2
  2246. One of the first things I did to my car, never looked back! Didnā€™t adjust pedal height at all, just gives better feel of the bite point and a little heavier weight. Itā€™s perfect imo
    2
  2247. Itā€™s loudish. Not unbearable, but definitely something you notice compared to most other cars.
    2
  2248. Coming this next week!
    2
  2249. Oh yeah
    2
  2250. Iā€™d take this GT4RS
    2
  2251. Hahah, thanks dude!
    2
  2252. A couple sets of eccentric upper and lower camber bolts should dial things in at around -1.5Ā° stock šŸ‘
    2
  2253. Exactly, Iā€™m anticipating a lot of cross-country trips in the Lexus these next couple years! Might have to finally swing for a rooftop tent too šŸ‘
    2
  2254. Thatā€™s all the camera, shame it came out that way
    2
  2255. Oh no, you can slide your hand over the handle and itā€™ll pop out
    2
  2256. Yes
    2
  2257. Itā€™s actually pretty comfortable and quiet lol
    2
  2258. This guy with the answer: Both!! Love it. Enjoy!
    2
  2259. This would be a really fun autocross build with some meaty r-compound tires!
    2
  2260. Toyota briefly explained some way theyā€™re penalizing dealers for markups and allocating good dealers more cars. Basically the best way to buy one is to get a on the list at a high volume dealer that will sell at or near msrp .
    2
  2261. Oem
    2
  2262. Thatā€™s a good point, a little negative camber would probably dial out most if not all the understeer. And thatā€™s right! Telescoping steering wheel was a welcome addition to the ND2. Iā€™m also 5ā€™10, 150lbs and never felt like I absolutely needed it but definitely doesnā€™t hurt to have.
    2
  2263. Definitely don't use E85 unless you have a tune for it or your car is a flex fuel vehicle. Running 93 with the Procal tune
    2
  2264. Everything comes as a kit from omega, just order that through an authorized dealer and youā€™ll be all set šŸ‘ itā€™s the clasp and a couple different links/pins
    2
  2265. I was surprised!
    2
  2266. Yeah, completely stock suspension. The bigger tires fill out the wheel wells nicely!
    2
  2267. I did upload an ice racing video in that RX-7, it's an awesome rally car: https://youtu.be/eoFCD42vJtQ
    2
  2268. Oh yeah
    2
  2269. Itā€™s those 18ā€ Michelin pilot sport 4 tires, theyā€™re so loud!
    2
  2270. I was so close to putting an order in on the Tesla. Ultimately the fantom braking issues were a huge turnoff. But otherwise such a compelling car. The performance is unreal for the price
    2
  2271. Damn this is a useful video. Just bought insurance for today's track day in the BRZ - $155! Easy, took 7 minutes! Now I can go send it!
    2
  2272. Itā€™s an open front diff but has electronic brake torque vectoring.
    2
  2273. Haha some of these do have speakers!
    2
  2274. There are a ton of takeoffs for sale on fb marketplace here in metro Detroit
    2
  2275. It does, not really needed with the GR86 imo, but for the BRZ's lackluster throttle tuning it's a big upgrade!
    2
  2276. Oh ya! Already had it out to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes - suspension was amazing out there. We'll do some more offroading with it this winter and fall.
    2
  2277. Thatā€™s the way to do it!
    2
  2278. 5ā€™10

  2279. In this video, just GoPro audio
    2
  2280. It can take regular, but you should really use premium.
    2
  2281. Yep
    2
  2282. I'm biased...but could be.
    2
  2283. The WRX would be a blast too. Iā€™m enjoying the struggle of rwd
    2
  2284. Itā€™s hard to tell, maybe a very slight increase but I kinda like it.
    2
  2285. I donā€™t have a hero 10 but I did get one briefly, try messing around with the GoPro color vs. flat color space and see what you prefer. Thereā€™s a lot of contrast and high black levels in the new 10s
    2
  2286. I couldnā€™t believe how well these did in the mud!
    2
  2287. I prefer CRV!
    2
  2288. Great options for year round driving on most vehicles. Not sure theyā€™d make it through deep snow in the BRZ but for everything else fwd and awd a great solution.
    2
  2289. Never let them know your next move by letting them know your next move! šŸ˜‚
    2
  2290. I use aquapel!
    2
  2291. Testing KO3 snow performance. Not as good in the snow as the Bridgestones but still very good for an all terrain.
    2
  2292. I think so!
    2
  2293. PPFā€™d the front bumper!
    2
  2294. I do! Inmotion V12HT video coming soon
    2
  2295. I was thinking that too, after watching some of The Motor Oil Geek's recent uploads
    2
  2296. Awesome thanks, I appreciate it! The glide 3 is still the best all-round wheel imo. Enjoy!
    2
  2297. That TH intro is brilliant though!
    2
  2298. It doesnā€™t make any sense šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    2
  2299. The Highlander kind of took that place for what we need as a family, but still have my dads FJ for off-road fun :) gotta do another video on that
    2
  2300. Eh about 300 on average
    2
  2301. šŸ¦·
    2
  2302. Agreed, Iā€™ve thought about just pulling the wireless charger out sometime
    2
  2303. Winter and all season tires have come a long way too!
    2
  2304. Just put a set of Destination M/T2s on the Raptor and I would agree!
    2
  2305. Still has heavier controls, better steering, doesnā€™t feel as light and tossable as the Miata, but itā€™s great to feel similar power out of the 86 now. Basically it comes down to whether you want a convertible or a more practical sports car. I think youā€™ll have equal amounts of fun in both
    2
  2306. Couldnā€™t tell a difference. The Elite is a bit quieter with the highway tires, thatā€™s about it.
    2
  2307. Yeah, itā€™s subtle but itā€™s there
    2
  2308. Love the Kona N, so much fun. It won our 2022 car of the year!
    2
  2309. Easy there, I only weigh 140 lbs šŸ˜„
    2
  2310. 16x7 +35 will be perfect - as long as you're not going taller than a 205/60R16 tire you'll be in great shape
    2
  2311. also here's a great wheel size calculator you might find useful https://wheelsco.ca/pages/wheel-size-calculator
    2
  2312. I could see it helping some, just not sure how much. I was surprised I never ran into brake fade tbh, the brakes on the Tacoma Trailhunter were done after a few fast corners when driving it in CA. Ford must have a good set of pads on the RR. I know the calipers are beefed up vs. the Bronco. Pleasantly surprised šŸ‘
    2
  2313. PS- the S2000 eventually started šŸ˜šŸ‘
    2
  2314. Ground clearance is fine!

  2316. Full review on this 2022 BRZ Premium automatic here: https://youtu.be/HLjCduKJ6Cg
    2
  2317. Just saw an email yesterday that YouTube enabled it. Not sure if itā€™s a beta release for only a handful of channels or if theyā€™re rolling it out to everyone.
    2
  2318. Thatā€™s how it works haha congrats!
    2
  2319. Nah, weā€™ve done a bunch of tests on the ML in previous GX videos, feel free to check those out if interested!
    2
  2320. Find one from the previous generation BRZ/86 on eBay or local and youā€™re good to go!
    2
  2321. Clarkpads šŸ‘
    2
  2322. Coming soon. Gotta blur the space-time speedo in post
    2
  2323. It's near one of the lots where they store all the Broncos!
    2
  2324. Need to get some winter driving in one soon!
    2
  2325. With another kid on the way and already having the S2000, itā€™d have to be the Type R,
    2
  2326. ā€œDrifts...on DEMAND!ā€ Lol
    2
  2327. Itā€™s better! Canā€™t wait to put the top down later this week and hear it, might see 40Ā°F
    2
  2328. Pure Michigan
    2
  2329. Oh ya, thatā€™ll give you some twisty roads! We have an area nearby covered with glacial moraines, kettle lakes, and swampy lowlands. Much of it is open grasslands of abandoned agricultural fields with some oak forests on hilly areas with shrub swamps remaining in lowlands. I should really take advantage of it more...šŸ˜„šŸ˜„ That felt good, finally was able to put that geology major to use. Thank you!
    2
  2330. Boom https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/how-to-add-crawl-control-and-multi-terrain-select-to-gx-460.1040976/
    2
  2331. It's been really nice with the on/off weather we sometimes get. Just gotta change that transfer case fluid a little more often
    2
  2332. With a few tweaks and in the right hands theyā€™re quick enough!
    2
  2333. Headlights are great!
    2
  2334. We'll find out! Supposedly the development Ranger Raptors were pretty stout, a few issues here and there on forums, but only time will tell.
    2
  2335. Awesome, congrats and enjoy!
    2
  2336. Definitely, awesome car. Just hard to find!
    2
  2337. 5ā€™10, 150 lbs. My buddy is ~200lbs 6ā€™2 and fits ok
    2
  2338. MK6 was a great looking and driving Jetta!
    2
  2339. Youā€™d be fine, the BRZ/86 has always been spacious up front. I have a buddy who is 6ā€™3 and fits with a helmet
    2
  2340. I measured him a few months ago and I think he was around 17 inches...he's a big dude
    2
  2341. Thatā€™s too bad about the 8-speeds, looks like the manual might be the way to go!
    2
  2342. Better than looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an "L" on her forehead
    2
  2343. Fixed, thanks for letting me know!
    2
  2344. No, type s module is the best way to go
    2
  2345. Car was up to temp, we had been driving for at least 10 minutes
    2
  2346. I do use premium, calculated it and itā€™s about another $500/year in fuel. For the extra grunt itā€™s worth it if youā€™re going to put a lot of miles on it.
    2
  2347. Just plug the fuse back in šŸ‘
    2
  2348. Yep
    2
  2349. Thatā€™s the trick
    2
  2350. Hopefully late next week!
    2
  2351. I did, used R1Ts are popping up in my area for a little more than what I paid for this - but ultimately I've always wanted a Ranger Raptor - and with my towing needs it had to be an ICE vehicle, for now at least.
    2
  2352. Yes sir
    2
  2353. In 4lo, yes
    2
  2354. No igneous rocks were harmed in this video šŸŖØ
    2
  2355. oh man, me too :D
    2
  2356. Oh ya, pretty sketchy over 10 mph šŸ˜‚
    2
  2357. Tbh I didnā€™t really notice much difference in the steering.
    2
  2358. With good winter tires, absolutely
    2
  2359. Nah, the timing had me worried though!
    2
  2360. Iā€™d do it just like this!
    2
  2361. Most of those rattles are from the car seat quick release
    2
  2362. Yes! https://amzn.to/4eg9lNF
    2
  2363. Great meeting you, Sarah! That mirror light at the hotel ftw šŸ™Œ
    2
  2364. I generally just prefer as few driver aids as possible. Also Michigan we donā€™t really have hills haha
    2
  2365. Exactly!
    2
  2366. We get results sent out a few days after, usually there's preliminary results posted the day of, but sometimes it's a bit of a wait.
    2
  2367. Those are the direct injectors
    2
  2368. Saw that, great stuff!
    2
  2369. I would not do well at race wars šŸ˜‚
    2
  2370. It just maintains whatever speed youā€™ve set it to while in gear - you can upshift and downshift and itā€™ll remain active.
    2
  2371. How well have your fwd cars gotten around? Ultimately it depends a lot on your comfort with going sideways in a rwd car. The biggest limitation with the GR86 is ground clearance so youā€™d want some oversized winter tires at a minimum for an extra half an inch or so. That puts you right at about everyone elseā€™s ride height. Id recommend 205/60r16. A couple sand bags in the back help a lot but arenā€™t always necessary. Any snow under 5 inches the BRZ will blaze through but above that it gets tricky. Also ice and hills are tough. Thatā€™s when youā€™ll be really glad you got a WRX lol. I donā€™t think the Wrx is that much less fun to drive than the GR86/BRZ but I hear you on styling. Our winters have been very mild here in MI but I know NY gets a lot of snow. If youā€™re seeing deep snow on a regular basis Iā€™d go Wrx. If road maintenance is great and youā€™re just getting a few inches of powder to get through GR86 will be a champ, but with some driving skill involved. I absolutely love driving my BRZ in the winter but if we got a ton of snow it would be stressful.
    2
  2372. Also one note: GR86 suspension is pretty stiff in the cold. Iā€™d look at the BRZ or swapping on BRZ springs/dampers for more compliance if thatā€™s important to you too.
    2
  2373. The V8 4Runner was something special. Kinda miss it still...tbh Toyota always gets the 4Runner right. This new one drives great too, a little big, but I think a lot of people will be happy with this latest gen.
    2
  2374. Just started using a hero 11
    2
  2375. We need to do a Autocross comparison between this and the Volvo 850 R!
    2
  2376. Yeah, transmission feels pretty good after flashing back to stock, but it's only been a few hundred miles. It doesn't hold gears for as long as it did on the Procal tune and throttle mapping seems less aggressive, which is nice around town.
    2
  2377. Itā€™s not cheap, but have averaged between 16-20mpg throughout its life
    2
  2378. Ā @n-power-automotiveĀ  Also check out Jackie Ding's video on a modded BRZ vs. modded VN https://youtu.be/TuIUaKgi0iM a much more even matchup!
    2
  2379. Tedward could be a ventriloquist with a stunt double...
    2
  2380. Same car! But a different video/driving road
    2
  2381. You guys will be the first to know!
    2
  2382. Exactly
    2
  2383. Yeah I was confused as to whether the pilot sport 4 is a summer or all season tire. Itā€™s a summer
    2
  2384. PPF'd the front bumper, Ceramic coating later this month
    2
  2385. I bought mine at MSRP and know quite a few others who have too, just have to dig around a bit! I went to Ohio to buy mine.
    2
  2386. Digital clusters are all the rage but honestly theyā€™re not that great. Also based on the way the infotainment looks Iā€™m sure itā€™d be a disappointment lol. Appreciate they kept this analog, easier to read and sets it apart from the competition.
    2
  2387. Hahah, those are some old marks. I think they're from a local guy called "Mr. Bad." True story.
    2
  2388. Haha good catch, thanks!
    2
  2389. Haha, I just turned my CTR into an ITS. Damper module swapped over and front resonator removed, done!
    2
  2390. Just a spinal compression fracture šŸ˜‚
    2
  2391. Not that Iā€™ve noticed, except that I drive it harder now lol and that definitely affects fuel economy
    2
  2392. Ehhh, the power difference isnā€™t that significant, just when it comes on in the powerband. Iā€™ve always thought the 86 is a lot more fun to drive tbh, Iā€™d check out the Veloster N or a used CPO Type R too!
    2
  2393. Big difference with headers and tune! Only power mods worth doing šŸ‘
    2
  2394. Do iiitt
    2
  2395. Had an M3 xDrive this week, that video is coming soon!
    2
  2396. Oghhh, itā€™s been a while! Good to know šŸ‘
    2
  2397. Nobodyā€™s going to know. How are they going to know?
    2
  2398. The Brz could be your only car, itā€™s pretty practical and usable. ultimately the ND is more fun, but youā€™d probably want something to carrh things and people. Depends on your life though!
    2
  2399. Passport 9500ix
    2
  2400. Oh ya
    2
  2401. I did, I think it was around $1500 upon purchasing.
    2
  2402. Gotta go to exhaustion!
    2
  2403. Itā€™s pretty darn robust. At M1 concourse we had a bunch of hellcats that did thrill rides/basically lived for 15k miles on a race track getting flogged every day and I think only had one engine failure over the years. They hold up well!
    2
  2404. Chris Harris in good form!
    2
  2405. Yep!
    2
  2406. Robert Rishel Heck yeah, thatā€™s a lot of tires! these Z3s have surprisingly great street manners. Theyā€™re not as playful in the dry, but in the wet are very progressive. The continental extremecontact sport might also be a good option. I also liked the dws 06 as a slightly grippier setup than stock but still playful, however theyā€™ve gotten a little loud recently. Iā€™d highly recommend the Z3s, but understand if you want something to slide around on. Honestly, winter tires are the best for that lol
    2
  2407. Welcome to Michigan!
    2
  2408. Donā€™t forget the nitrogen in the tires!
    2
  2409. šŸ¤«itā€™s a secret
    2
  2410. You could tune it before break-in but still follow break-in procedures
    2
  2411. Yeah about 5% off, not too bad. 70mph is ~73-74
    2
  2412. There really arenā€™t many options. The fun to drive wagon is kind of the Mazda CX-5
    2
  2413. Right!? Worst case scenario it's getting a tow hitch!
    2
  2414. Winand D that was me turning off/on the traction control šŸ‘
    2
  2415. Bow Ski the finish just wore off over time and with polishing, I actually bought some new emblems to replace them with, but yeah if you polish them theyā€™ll go black pretty quickly
    2
  2416. There is, still plenty of clearance between the exhaust w/heat shield and the spare
    2
  2417. Not really, maybe a little more tedious to get out of but worth it IMO. depends on how limber your are!
    2
  2418. Not really anything out of the ordinary, they use a lot of torx bits and besides the dried Llama whiskers to reset the service light itā€™s pretty standard.
    2
  2419. If youā€™re looking at 16s, Iā€™d go with the destination X/Tā€™s was really happy with their snow performance on my 4Runner šŸ‘
    2
  2420. Had to take out the Talon for some actual speed haha
    2
  2421. Hybrid torque fill, like the McLaren P1
    2
  2422. Antonio Esposito yeah, it was super greasy out there. And 40Ā° F
    2
  2423. Theyā€™d fit great! Iā€™d highly recommend the Firestone Destination X/T if youā€™re looking at all-terrains, had them on the 4runner after these and loved them.
    2
  2424. Are there a ton of slammed first gen Lexus ISsesseses scraping around?
    2
  2425. I didn't, ended up getting the 24-105 art though. One thing is the focusing on the 20mm is a bit louder than I'd like for video, and there's no image stabilization. The 24-105 is silent, it's awesome. This 20mm was a really fun lens though, I'd rent one and see how you like it after a few days.
    2
  2426. Iā€™d argue full size trucks have more space and capability than what most people need. Midsize segment gets it about right. In the case of the Ranger Raptor, I use it as a fun vehicle to enjoy on/off road but itā€™s also hugely practical. I can put the kids in the back, mountain bikes and stuff in the bed, occasionally tow small trailers/sxs, and jump it off railroad tracks.
    2
  2427. Thatā€™s the best way to do it! šŸ™Œ
    2
  2428. For sheer thrills Iā€™d go with the Cayman šŸ‘
    2
  2429. We 'gon find out!
    2
  2430. Up to 2000lbs šŸ˜‚
    2
  2431. Nope, just two unrelated Tophers!
    2
  2432. Thanks for sharing! Tbh I think the S3 is the sweet spot. The only thing I didnā€™t like about it was the impact noise over potholes w/the big wheels. But thatā€™s a Michigan thing. Otherwise it made me want to buy one (already had the Type R in the pipeline at that point though). Howā€™d you like your MK8 R? Was the interior/UI as annoying to live with long term or did you get used to it and it was fine?
    2
  2433. Muuch quieter at speed than the ND
    2
  2434. Nice!!
    2
  2435. šŸ˜‚
    2
  2436. Yep, MRT in Plymouth MI šŸ‘
    2
  2437. Just two now, the Volvo and the GX. I Marie Kondoā€™d my garage earlier this summer and sold the BRZ. There may be a couple new ones coming to the channel soon though....
    2
  2438. This man speaks the truth
    2
  2439. Fix was easy- just add some negative camber up front! Two sets of camber bolts did the trick šŸ‘
    2
  2440. I prefer the Civic, the power from this 1.5t is great, wish the Sentra had a little more grunt
    2
  2441. Welcome! The Corvette is awesome, but my money would go to the SS 1LE. Itā€™s hard to beat.
    2
  2442. If it were me the Elantra GT N line would get the pick. Itā€™s a great size, comfortable to daily, and pretty fun to drive. The Veloster R-Spec is definitely the stiffer sportier option, and the Civic Hatch is good, but I wouldnā€™t get it with a manual, it has a pretty miserable shifter for some reason compared to the Si. Si might not be a bad choice either.
    2
  2443. Enter some autocross/rallycross events and itā€™s only a matter of seat time!
    2
  2444. I was also going to add in a sack of gold coins, two cows, and a rare assortment of herbs and spices to sweeten the deal.
    2
  2445. The infotainment is a disaster
    2
  2446. I was wondering that too
    2
  2447. Yep DBA 4000s up front, blank rotors out back, porterfield r4s pads all around. If youā€™re not doing heavy track use just get blanks all-around, but the dbas got rid of all my brake fade, even on mild street pads, it was amazing
    2
  2448. Sweet, I'm sure you'll have a blast in both vehicles out there!
    2
  2449. A few people commented that a shorter final drive helps a lot and that makes sense, the gearing is just too tall for the powerband of this v6.
    2
  2450. Itā€™s so good. Weā€™re waiting for the 300hp Prime coming out in 2020!
    2
  2451. Yep thatā€™s a pretty standard break-in. And then an oil change at 1k. Itā€™s not easy but have had good luck with it in the past. Minimal to no oil consumption at track days, good power,no engine issues.
    2
  2452. That was last year, the 2024 Nautilus is based on a revised version of the Ford C2 platform, which is also used for the Ford Escape, Bronco Sport, and Maverick.
    2
  2453. Yes, coming soon!
    2
  2454. We raced the two on track and my brz just inches ahead in a 3rd gear pull. The new cars are quicker!
    2
  2455. Sweet! Yeah, itā€™s a great playground
    2
  2456. hahah tell me about it! thanks for the concern anyway! cheers,
    2
  2457. Tophers unite!
    2
  2458. This new BRZ is a lot more similar to the ND2 driving experience than I was expecting - depends if you want a more practical and comfortable coupe or the top-down fun of a roadster!
    2
  2459. Binaural audio ftw!
    2
  2460. Hahah dang it!
    2
  2461. He was a few weeks ago! Dream spec
    2
  2462. Nope
    2
  2463. Ivt is just marketing jargon for ā€œintelligent variable transmissionā€ itā€™s still a cvt. https://paultan.org/2020/11/26/hyundai-ivt-gearbox-chain-belt-based-continuously-variable-transmission-for-better-response-efficiency/
    2
  2464. ARB
    2
  2465. I was thinking about this too, it doesnā€™t šŸ‘
    2
  2466. Theyā€™d be great for wet track days, but I doubt theyā€™d hold up well on a dry track with all the heat.
    2
  2467. Thereā€™s definitely a lot less active sound control / fake engine noise
    2
  2468. Itā€™s an ā€œon stickā€
    2
  2469. Tedward, weā€™re all the same šŸ˜‚
    2
  2470. Awesome, here it is! https://www.mx30forum.com/threads/shutting-off-the-fake-engine-sound.107/
    2
  2471. Tried to get one, no dice :/
    2
  2472. Garage space, the final frontier!
    2
  2473. Yes, actually we have 93 here in MI
    2
  2474. Itā€™d be awesome. With some winter tires youā€™d be in pretty good shape. Especially with how little snow weā€™ve been getting lately.
    2
  2475. Need to put some more miles on the car, but seems to be about the same on first impressions
    2
  2476. Jack was actually here for this one in his C7, filming the 335 track car šŸ‘
    2
  2477. Removing the 2 large rear mufflers at the tailpipes introduces a lot of drone
    2
  2478. A bit, but not as much as the M8 haha. Got asked 3x in one week whether the bright green M8 we had a couple years ago was a Mustang, "yep, that's a $175,000 Mustang."
    2
  2479. I have a video for you! The 2022 Volkswagen Golf R (DSG) is a Blast in the Snow. https://youtu.be/M6xd8ocd-vA
    2
  2480. I usually just throw them on all my cars- a few dollars at autozone
    2
  2481. See the POV night drive here: https://youtu.be/jVwQ9XEmQls
    2
  2482. šŸ¤™Might get another one someday!
    2
  2483. Without factoring in price, the 392. But that said, the Bronco is close.
    2
  2484. She does!
    2
  2485. We need torque vectoring awd with a drift mode, 3ā€ lift, and 70 miles of EV only range. Rally Prius!
    2
  2486. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø it definitely doesnā€™t overheat anymore on track!
    2
  2487. Yep, typo thanks for the correction!
    2
  2488. Autozone or O'Reilly's, most local parts stores should have them, they're $3
    2
  2489. šŸ˜
    2
  2490. Many many Twinkies, even more Ho Hos!
    2
  2491. Just got my first set of X-Ice snows this year, so far so good šŸ‘
    2
  2492. Door to door cat salesman. Show up with a trench coat full of kittens and people just canā€™t say no. No, but really YouTube is my full-time gig these days.
    2
  2493. No rub!
    2
  2494. Haha good eye! The fat bike has one for some reason, probably will swap it on this summer!
    2
  2495. Lots more CA videos still in the pipeline!
    2
  2496. Nope, I don't think so - the Fiesta ST is a riot
    2
  2497. Iā€™m pretty sure you have to do a body mount chop for 33s, donā€™t really need to take it there yet.
    2
  2498. Already had one!
    2
  2499. Will report back after the next track day!
    2
  2500. Meh, I also burned a lot of oil out there too
    2
  2501. BRAIDusa sells a lot of wheels for the Dakar Rally!
    2
  2502. +Rob Cobb just checked the monroney, yes, it did
    2
  2503. First video was on the TRD Pro
    2
  2504. I was worried about daily driving them too here in MI but itā€™s been fine. Really good wet performance too (just watch out for standing water). The 16ā€ tires with taller sidewall definitely take the edge off rougher roads. Very happy with the tires so far.
    2
  2505. Havenā€™t noticed a difference between the two tbh
    2
  2506. I'm at 37k miles now and it's been really reliable, only thing is an interior rattle that's pissing me off.
    2
  2507. Oh, definitely!
    2
  2508. Itā€™s in the vehicle settings somewhere
    2
  2509. It already has 20k miles
    2
  2510. Agreed! Itā€™s all cost savings at this point
    2
  2511. The Type S and Type R are on another level compared to the Si and standard Integra šŸ‘
    2
  2512. This would be a great car for a first-time manual trans driver.
    2
  2513. 5'10, but you'll fit fine at 6'4, I have a buddy who daily drives his FR-S and is 6'4
    2
  2514. šŸ˜‚ Mud flaps might have to go. Theyā€™re rubbing a lot under hard cornering, no bueno! I always run fisheye mirrors lol
    2
  2515. Congrats!
    2
  2516. Definitely, Iā€™ll show everything under the car too. And thatā€™s awesome, you keep coming back!
    2
  2517. Just when Hyundai started to come up with some unique designs šŸ˜‚
    2
  2518. WRX and Elantra N are solid options, lots of back seat space!
    2
  2519. Also filmed the manual https://youtu.be/UA9OLqEUbJE
    2
  2520. I usually run 5w30, but had Honda 0w20 in this fill
    2
  2521. Soft suspension
    2
  2522. He really did šŸ˜‚
    2
  2523. Not really, but did notice a little more low down torque and better throttle response. Not enough to justify the cost tbh
    2
  2524. Hey, no idea on that RSX, it was one of Hondaā€™s cars. They may own it or it could be an individual.
    2
  2525. #savemanuel
    2
  2526. Thatā€™s always been the goal šŸ˜‚
    2
  2527. The gearing is tall
    2
  2528. Type R definitely doesnā€™t have a lot of sound deadening
    2
  2529. Same, itā€™s such an easy fix!
    2
  2530. The Type R didnā€™t really have noticeable rev hang, it felt great
    2
  2531. exactly.
    2
  2532. I never tried the 93 tune with it, and you could always get a custom tune for the Corsa intake and probably make more power in the end. I really like the filter design of the Corsa...but for simplicities sake I re-installed the stock intake and haven't looked back.
    2
  2533. If you have to ask, leave it on šŸ‘
    2
  2534. Be careful, the test drive sold me on the spot!
    2
  2535. Thanks, editing that out! Still used to saying twin-turbo from the N54 lol
    2
  2536. Yeah at higher speeds the buffeting is bad. Probably an easy fix (like the Supra) with a mirror deflector or something though.
    2
  2537. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚the best solution
    2
  2538. Front seat was set to my driving position at 5ā€™10
    2
  2539. Rolls Royce Cullinan followed by the BMW iX!
    2
  2540. Bronco is the better manual imo, it's almost sports car good. The Tacoma feels properly old school though, and is still a lot of fun if you want a bit of a throwback driving experience, which is hard to get in 2023...
    2
  2541. digging the username though!
    2
  2542. Itā€™s been awesome! Really glad I stuck it out and got it
    2
  2543. Gotta be brave and have a good set of skinny winter tires!
    2
  2544. New BMW M2!
    2
  2545. Funny story, we had an Elantra N this week too. They are very similar! Hahah
    2
  2546. I put a link in the description, previous owner installed it - it's nice!
    2
  2547. Danny Murphy bringing it back to the old formula! -CA
    2
  2548. Seat time!
    2
  2549. Not sure, driving it in a couple months and I'll report back!
    2
  2550. Wow.
    2
  2551. Itā€™s a little deeper than stock, but absolutely no drone. Canā€™t really tell if itā€™s much louder than stock, I donā€™t think it is.
    2
  2552. Itā€™s a fun course, really glad to have it within an hourā€™s drive. Most of the miles I put on the 4runner are going mountain biking lol
    2
  2553. If anything dealers want to sell you on financing with them since they get a cut. I financed 100% of it with a 2.5% apr deal Subaru had running in February
    2
  2554. it is a good looking tire
    2
  2555. I did at first but it was too heavy imo, swapped in an MTEC and very happy šŸ‘
    2
  2556. Thanks!
    2
  2557. Bridgestones were stellar in everything but the mud
    2
  2558. I probably tried 50 times to get a radio channel with voice control throughout the week. It worked 0% of the time. Not once did it give me the right channel. Itā€™s ok though, I just sang to myself
    2
  2559. Havenā€™t personally tested the fk460 in the winter but I hear theyā€™re good in the snow! Canā€™t go wrong with that or the Michelin crossclimate 2
    2
  2560. There are a few good videos out there on helper spring removal, it's pretty straightforward, just a tough spot to get to!
    2
  2561. Just used the clamps šŸ‘
    2
  2562. Got it covered! Annual Krown rust control applications keep everything rust free.
    2
  2563. got it through acura parts for less, part number is in the description
    2
  2564. Itā€™s great, needs a bit of work but will have a video on it this week or next!
    2
  2565. It got a little hot but otherwise held up really well for a 90Ā° day
    2
  2566. Absolutely, the road noise is the bronco is a lot. And I use the bed in the Ranger on the regular
    2
  2567. Here you go! https://youtu.be/dBGfiG3CJjM
    2
  2568. Yeah, two different routes for sure! Honestly, Iā€™d look at a 981 Cayman over the new GTS 4.0. This Blackwing was a lot of fun this week, for the money and versatility itā€™s a really good buy.
    2
  2569. Yeah itā€™s probably pretty negligible, doing a road trip later this month - weā€™ll see šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    2
  2570. European models did, unfortunately we didnā€™t here in the US
    2
  2571. šŸ˜‚
    2
  2572. Sweet! Thereā€™s a link to the Spotify playlist in the description šŸ‘šŸ‘
    2
  2573. EXTREME BMW Turn Signal TEST! Indicators PUSHED TO THE LIMIT https://youtu.be/pXoSYQaVeSo
    2
  2574. Oh Civic Si for sure. Camry Hybrid is fantastic too.
    2
  2575. Thanks Eddie! Good to know re: the update. Our rider protection was a little slim in these videos, honestly - but Iā€™ve been been riding regularly with wrist guards and a full face helmet.
    2
  2576. #weightsavings
    2
  2577. Yep, Tanzanite Blue Metallic!
    2
  2578. Check out the Dunlop Direzza ZIII tires here on Tire Rack: https://bit.ly/2WdzwAZ
    2
  2579. Itā€™s for when you still get gapped by a minivan in traffic
    2
  2580. Touring is definitely more my speed these days. I think that paired with a uel header would be šŸ¤Œ
    2
  2581. Haha we have a GTI this week!
    2
  2582. 100%
    2
  2583. I wasn't a fan at first either until I saw it in person, they nailed the touch point materials and once you start driving it all fades away. I still prefer the look of the first gen, and the buttonless steering wheel was great.
    2
  2584. Peak power isnā€™t as big of a difference, though still there. torque difference is massive between the two
    2
  2585. Good to know, thanks!
    2
  2586. Definitely getting 16s for next winter. Maybe even as a track setup too. I like the way these cars drive on 16s
    2
  2587. Factory Five Cobra replica!
    2
  2588. Just drove Buttonwillow!
    2
  2589. Dirty
    2
  2590. Nope just vacuum cleaner noises
    2
  2591. Oh yeah, this is an old video. basically wearing full motorcycle gear at this point
    2
  2592. This is a great spec! Interior is on point here I think.
    2
  2593. Variety. Itā€™s the spice of life
    2
  2594. I park next to my oem wheels šŸ˜‚
    2
  2595. Nothing just yet, Iā€™ve enjoyed not having as many cars to maintain. The 2022 BRZ is tempting, weā€™ll see!
    2
  2596. We just got a 21 Highlander Hybrid!
    2
  2597. The GR86 gets way too stiff in the cold
    2
  2598. Unpopular opinion: I donā€™t like pilot super sports on most cars. Same with the pilot sport 4
    2
  2599. Nice!
    2
  2600. I do love a good manual Porsche. Need to drive a Carrera GTS!
    2
  2601. Yes!
    2
  2602. Oh this car has like 3-4 sets of wheels. This is the beater autocross setup
    2
  2603. Depends on the tire. Anything over 31.5ā€ wonā€™t fit
    2
  2604. meh
    2
  2605. My understanding is that they're two separate issues, cars with freshly cleaned pickups, free of RTV, are showing the same oil pressure drops. RTV in the pickup isn't really that big of an issue with the FA24's new pickup design imo.
    2
  2606. Agreed on the stock exhaust on the 981, itā€™s just about perfect. Also prefer the manual on the 981 šŸ‘
    2
  2607. Yeszir!
    2
  2608. It just plugs the sound tube that pipes intake noise into the cabin from the engine bay. Nice little Easter egg from Subaru šŸ‘
    2
  2609. Itā€™s the Jurassic Park version!
    2
  2610. Still debating on whether I want an exhaust on this, Iā€™m kind of enjoying the silent hoon!
    2
  2611. Both would be solid options! The difference in ice driving performance is marginal, any winter tire will be way better than an all season, and the difference between this continental and a Blizzak will be down to a few feet of stopping distance vs. dry/wet performance and noise.
    2
  2612. Sweeeeeeet. This is a pretty ideal Garage šŸ‘
    2
  2613. SR5 is the jam šŸ‘šŸ‘
    2
  2614. I still miss that car
    2
  2615. Agreed!
    2
  2616. Itā€™s just remote shut off, gotta pull the chord
    2
  2617. Yeah thereā€™s definitely a bit of piped in sound.
    2
  2618. Yeah I definitely overpaid a bit for it, but was grateful to find a well sorted rust free example in MI. Also needed it in a pinch for a road trip and that paid off lol
    2
  2619. Itā€™s been awesome! The only piece of advice I have is donā€™t skimp on anything but roadforce for wheel/tire balancing. The only consistent issue Iā€™ve had with this car is getting the heavy tires to balance properly over time.
    2
  2620. Driving one next week, excited to see what itā€™s like!
    2
  2621. M56
    2
  2622. I think that's the move, especially with how bad the roads have gotten here. Driving TO the rallycross has gotten rougher than driving IN the rallycross lol.
    2
  2623. Regular šŸ‘
    2
  2624. You have a perfect combo with the BRZ and 4Runner! I still can't see myself getting into something else anytime soon either. If you can, try to find a 4.3 diff on eBay, it's a really nice change that makes the gearing perfect imo.
    2
  2625. 2022 civic is coming on Wednesday!
    2
  2626. 981 sounds better
    2
  2627. Honestly I havenā€™t spent a lot of time in a V10 R8. I will say that I still prefer the way a 981 Cayman drives over the new GTS. Doesnā€™t hurt to switch it up a bit now and then!
    2
  2628. I can see that in other parts of the country, here in MI there are a lot for sale at MSRP, popping up on marketplace, etc. every week.
    2
  2629. Yep! Later this week Iā€™ll upload a high/low-speed off-road review.
    2
  2630. Just going to send it! I typically do a few cooldown laps throughout a session and run with a/c off. We'll see how it continues to perform next season on some hotter days.
    2
  2631. https://www.drive.com.au/news/2023-ford-ranger-five-star-ancap-rating/
    2
  2632. The screen lag is unacceptable here. Itā€™s not a dealbreaker for me on this car but Iā€™m sure it is for others. CarPlay connectivity is still buggy too. BRZ gets it right!
    2
  2633. I was ready to hate it but was surprised at how good it was to drive.
    2
  2634. Iā€™ve run liquimoly mos2 in my BRZā€™s for years but ceratec might be a good option too
    2
  2635. Hahah just before this session I spent 10 minutes in the car with a Miata driver. Then went out and shaved 2.4 seconds off my lap time. Momentum!!
    2
  2636. Just drove one around Road America and at an autocross, it was awesome. Weā€™ll have to get one in to review too
    2
  2637. A BRZ with an auto is still better than no BRZ at all! Enjoy!
    2
  2638. Definitely, noticeably less road/wind noise
    2
  2639. Just put your golf bag in an Uber. What is this peasantry!? As for road trips, put them in an Uber too! šŸ˜‚
    2
  2640. Yes! https://youtu.be/RN1ugMFcuXk
    2
  2641. I was talking to a guy who runs 4 psi, on his e rated bfgs, says he can crawl up test hill! Definitely airing down more next time.
    2
  2642. At the very least itā€™s worth it just to keep the car easy to work on. After 2 winters my old BRZā€™s swaybars/endlinks were so corroded I couldnā€™t separate them. Rust happens surprisingly quickly, usually in areas that arenā€™t obvious, and once itā€™s there thereā€™s no going back.
    2
  2643. Thatā€™s what I was thinking too
    2
  2644. Prius is king
    2
  2645. I literally didnā€™t buy a viper because winter tires just wouldnā€™t have worked without a completely ridiculous custom wheel setup lol. Also couldnā€™t get over the viper interior
    2
  2646. It feels about the same as a Focus RS
    2
  2647. Ooooo, interesting! Good to know, never would have discovered that on my own šŸ‘
    2
  2648. Thatā€™s great to hear, thanks for sharing! If you have lots of fun trails around youā€™d love the Ranger raptor, itā€™ll feel pretty similar to the f-150 but a lot more nimble. Good luck with the search! Taking this offroad for the first time Friday, canā€™t wait to open it up šŸ™Œ
    2
  2649. heck yeah! haha
    2
  2650. Itā€™s literally number one on my list!
    2
  2651. I tried doing it on one foot, got surprisingly far.
    2
  2652. Integra vid drops next week šŸ˜Ž BRZ is a solid option too, youā€™ll have to drive mine soon.
    2
  2653. Oh yeah, for sure. Iā€™d recommend getting the full treatment but youā€™re welcome to request that.
    2
  2654. Keep searching!
    2
  2655. That launch genuinely caught me off guard! lol second time around I was ready šŸ˜‚
    2
  2656. There is! Thatā€™s the solution šŸ‘
    2
  2657. 100% agree. If the S2000 was stock, it would have spun out into a sign immediately and the BRZ would have had trouble keeping up with traffic lol. You forget how slow they are stock. Sound is so important with cars like these too and I think just a better sounding exhaust would have given the Miata a better chance. The ND1s sounded better from the factory too imo. But a stock Miata is what we had. Gotta film a modified ND2 here soon.
    2
  2658. Yeah, if youā€™re going to be tracking, would definitely get an RC F that has better heat management. We ran an RC F all day at Gingerman last year and it had zero heat issues w/engine or brakes. But if youā€™re not tracking the car, this IS F is 98% of the experience for $10k less!
    2
  2659. That would be a Tedward
    2
  2660. Unfortunately, yes - there is zero lane etiquette here
    2
  2661. It was very relaxing, I paid $375 for a dealer to do it while I sat at home and had some zucchini bread šŸ˜
    2
  2662. Hahah
    2
  2663. Same, at sea level and lower temps itā€™s going to feel a lot quicker.
    2
  2664. Krown rust control
    2
  2665. Agreed, the analog gauges are so much easier to read. These digital gauges are too dark
    2
  2666. No need to worry because that was a yellow light.
    2
  2667. Stoptech 600 fluid and Porterfield R4s pads weren't enough to avoid fade on a 90Āŗ track day - just swapped on DBA4000 rotors so I'll report back soon on how that does. That combo worked perfectly on my 2014.
    2
  2668. I wish! Harry's Laptimer was acting up all day (sometimes as much as 6 seconds off +/-), so beyond using a stopwatch, I don't really know what my times were unfortunately - someday I'll get a proper setup, but until then I'm just going to say I don't care about laptimes because I know the BRZ still isn't as fast around here as a Miata lol.
    2
  2669. Toyota also considered naming it this, but whittled it down to bZ4X.
    2
  2670. I did a lot of long road trips in my 2014 and never found it to be too exhausting over 6-10 hours. The seats are really comfortable, and that helps. Definitely depends on what exhaust is on the car, but from the factory the new cars are slightly quieter too, which helps. 3 hours in a Miata and Iā€™m over it, but always found the BRZ/86 to be pretty livable as a daily.
    2
  2671. Heck yeah!
    2
  2672. Need to do this as my next BRZ video...keep bugging me!
    2
  2673. The FAA did approve the 1UZ-FE back in the day šŸ˜‚
    2
  2674. Did you reach out to them?
    2
  2675. At the bottom of their site https://fixd.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
    2
  2676. Neutered gecko šŸ˜‚
    2
  2677. Yeah, you can choose between any of the three gauges in comfort mode
    2
  2678. It feels it!
    2
  2679. Itā€™s a good all-round performance tire, but itā€™s way too loud. Every other tire in the category (and up into extreme performance tires) provides similar or better performance with way less road noise. Only application Iā€™ve liked them on is the C8 Corvette Z51 package. BRZ/GR86, Type R, RC-F, etc all you hear is tire.
    2
  2680. Would love to! Copyright kills all the fun
    2
  2681. I'm 33!
    2
  2682. The speedo on the BRZ is based on wheel speed, so final drive doesnā€™t matter!
    2
  2683. Oh of course it can rock crawl! My point was it just wonā€™t fit through any of the trails
    2
  2684. Got a few! https://youtu.be/147ZfqDZddo?si=uZqtwFhsrMMmGTKd https://youtu.be/jB6e0RtENYg?si=dDrKzEA1WfFjck-Q https://youtu.be/3DzgLzrY7zk?si=J_tSfRzCWb5rLWMi https://youtu.be/eAf1Jjh84ww?si=z3pixw5szU-rnCAD
    2
  2685. Not sure on the awd, thatā€™s a good question. You probably still canā€™t disable stability control in these without the ā€œcheat codeā€ maintenance mode startup method but not sure if the rear axle would engage with that enabled or not.
    2
  2686. Suspension is perfect with the type s module, Iā€™d highly recommend it šŸ‘
    2
  2687. Yeah, the RTR EVO 6 is a pretty good option at around 22lbs, though wider offset means you'll probably have to remove the crash bars or replace with high clearance ones. Tbh, I'm not concerned enough about the weight to spend money on it. Already had these sitting around and wanted the valve stem protection.
    2
  2688. Honestly most people will probably get the dual motor awd
    2
  2689. Both are dual motor
    2
  2690. Nice! Enjoy getting it back into shape! I loved my Volvo 850 5-speed as a first car, I'm sure your son will too. Cheers!
    2
  2691. Coming soon!
    2
  2692. I turned it off
    2
  2693. We got about 27-28mpg on the hwy šŸ‘
    2
  2694. Very fair haha
    2
  2695. Yes
    2
  2696. Rev hang is emissions driven. Its done to prevent raw fuel dumping into the motor.. the hang provides a cleaner burn and therefore cleaner emissions.
    2
  2697. Not yet, waiting for the Prime šŸ‘
    2
  2698. I swear by oil-based coatings. Canā€™t go wrong with Krown or fluid film
    2
  2699. Itā€™s a big improvement from previous Mazdaā€™s. I know what you mean, the older 3s were pretty loud inside.
    2
  2700. Goodwin racing RoadsterSport race! Or street if you want it a little quieter
    2
  2701. Nothing yet! Planning on an S2000 someday or maybe a next-gen BRZ. Right now however Iā€™m really enjoying just having the 850 R and GX 460 šŸ‘
    2
  2702. Ooff, canā€™t go wrong. It comes down to if you want old school feedback or new car refinement
    2
  2703. Thanks man! I could always upgrade the brakes, but honestly - I like being able to run 16s on these cars. They do great with pads/fluid on track as is. I was open to getting a limited if that's all I could find, but from the beginning I was sold on the base model with the cloth seats and 17s.
    2
  2704. Can't beat the value of the BRZ/GR86!
    2
  2705. Iā€™ve heard mixed things about it w/regards to cooling on track. Iā€™m going to leave it stock for now.
    2
  2706. I have an M4! https://youtu.be/U39tj8SVWCM
    2
  2707. Thanks, previous owner installed it - really like it!
    2
  2708. Grand Luxe/Luxury Injection
    2
  2709. They get a lot better with use. Took me about 1500 miles for them to break in and start gripping
    2
  2710. Many many miatas
    2
  2711. Ha! I wish
    2
  2712. Enter Type R
    2
  2713. Haha we did šŸ˜‚šŸ‘€
    2
  2714. No, 91+ only
    2
  2715. Yep, you supposedly can daily drive in 4A, but I'll only engage it in the wet or winter months on the road.
    2
  2716. In a month or so!
    2
  2717. bahahah +1 for Theodore Eddie
    2
  2718. Working on getting a loan! If not Iā€™m going to a Palisade launch soon
    2
  2719. Beastronix sells a switch that does it, and you can disable it through an Openflash tablet. There may be other ways now too, but for me the pedal dance has always been the quickest/simplest method when tracking.
    2
  2720. If I can get my hands on one this winter, I donā€™t think Iā€™ll be able to say no, itā€™ll be a monster in the snow.
    2
  2721. If I can get my hands on one! Don't know anyone who has one yet.
    2
  2722. Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely a fun truck. Charlieā€™s going to try to get another video on it for WR next time heā€™s up north
    2
  2723. D quartz go
    2
  2724. I filmed a few GR86 videos from the launch last year šŸ™Œ hereā€™s the review: 2022 Toyota GR 86 Premium - POV Driving Impressions https://youtu.be/FSzsU0lyv-U
    2
  2725. I didnā€™t approach it with enough speed. But it kind of helps show how steep it was!
    2
  2726. it was too cold out for them to really work, but in the wet with warmer temps, grip is awesome! Just watch out for standing water.
    2
  2727. Porterfield R4S set is in the garage!
    2
  2728. They did, not silent but pretty good considering the 19ā€ sizing
    2
  2729. Nope, front Brembos are too big
    2
  2730. Narrower shoes are important! These are just Merrell Trail Glove shoes.
    2
  2731. Yeah just frozen ice
    2
  2732. 5038 miles is well past break in period.
    2
  2733. Yeah, every 60k miles. Pay $300 for someone else to do it and youā€™re good to go
    2
  2734. Looking at 205/60R16s for next winter! Depending on where you live, you could probably just get away with the Primacies if there's little to no snow. I probably could have but wanted to burn off these winter tires before summer
    2
  2735. Just gotta grab a screw driver and remove the clutch helper spring, then it feels great, with a bit more weight too. One of the first things to do to any manual Subaru! lol
    2
  2736. Interesting!
    2
  2737. That was a bit of a pucker moment hahaa, that's a good observation - could be due to my weight in the driver's seat pushing down on those outside left tires or a small variation in front end alignment.
    2
  2738. I also have a 4Runner but have run a BRZ all winter here in Michigan without issues for 6 years. Colorado might be a different story though, we donā€™t have mountains here. Still with skinny winter tires and a sandbag or two in the trunk these are surprising good in the snow. Ground clearance is the limiting factor.
    2
  2739. It helped smooth out downshifts and increase throttle response a bit, but track driving is so on/off full throttle I think the biggest wins w/the pedal commander are to be had on the street.
    2
  2740. That would be awesome!
    2
  2741. Oh ya!
    2
  2742. It's the Mountek CD slot phone mount, highly recommended!
    2
  2743. Oh yeah!
    2
  2744. Not much is s2000 fun šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    2
  2745. -1.5Ā° up front šŸ‘
    2
  2746. Both!
    2
  2747. no idea, sorry bro
    2
  2748. That is definitely a BMW thing.
    2
  2749. Sup!
    2
  2750. Yeah, the previous owner went through a couple of soft tops
    2
  2751. It was local, had seen mostly highway use, drove great, didn't have any rust, and I had literally just driven a stripper base model FJ for the same price 30 minutes earlier. I couldn't fathom getting anything else after the GX test drive lol.
    2
  2752. Meh, around 20mpg all week
    2
  2753. I still miss my black 94!
    2
  2754. So did Tedward I think lol
    2
  2755. Either works
    2
  2756. Give the people what they want Begode! šŸ˜‚
    2
  2757. Sold it to a friend!
    2
  2758. Ehhh my math was a bit off there lol Iā€™m 31, itā€™s been about 15 yrs
    2
  2759. Also a solid option!
    2
  2760. Just the front bumper, might do the hood and fenders at some point but first wanted to cover the high impact zone.
    2
  2761. Not driving long distances and my miles get spread out among a lot of other cars (mostly press cars for review)
    2
  2762. Missed watching Tom Ford!
    2
  2763. 225/45r15
    2
  2764. That would make a fun comparison video!
    2
  2765. Iā€™d stick with 265s if you can, wider gives more rim protection on 9.5s
    2
  2766. Stunt squirrel, heā€™s on payroll šŸ˜‚
    2
  2767. Thereā€™s a lot more room in the back of the bmw but the front passenger seat doesnā€™t slide very far forward. The BRZ is the opposite, lots of room to wedge a car seat back there but the seats are tight. Still enough room for kids though. With a rear facing child seat donā€™t think a passenger would fit in either (definitely not the BRZ, not sure about the bmw).
    2
  2768. after 3:20 it gets twistyer
    2
  2769. I have a train on order
    2
  2770. Si
    2
  2771. Awesome, enjoy!!
    2
  2772. Oh sweet! Thatā€™s great to know šŸ‘šŸ‘
    2
  2773. In the GX that only applies with the center diff locked, because the GX is full-time 4wd it has a Torsen limited slip center diff that manages low speed maneuverability without driveline wind-up youā€™d experience in an FJ or 4runner, which would bind at low speeds turns on pavement with 4hi or 4lo engaged.
    2
  2774. OE Michelin Primacy tires
    2
  2775. Lester Brown III šŸ™Œ
    2
  2776. Slow, but fast. šŸ˜‚
    2
  2777. It does
    2
  2778. It didnā€™t
    2
  2779. Wait until we show you the $60k Lincoln Corsair šŸ˜„
    2
  2780. Passport 9500ix
    2
  2781. Thatā€™s tedward
    2
  2782. Spot on šŸ˜‚
    2
  2783. No because thereā€™s a tire repair kit. Plenty of room to retrofit one though!
    2
  2784. Canā€™t run studs in Michigan legally
    2
  2785. 3500rpm should be around 90mph, I think 3000 is ~78mph, 70mph is 2700.
    2
  2786. Always wanted a Type Rā€¦and those seats! Theyā€™re perfect
    2
  2787. Yep, the BRZ Premium is the base model, and the GR86 Premium is the premium model which isnā€™t confusing at all. No wireless CarPlay, unfortunately but there are some decent aftermarket solutions out there. Iā€™m sure theyā€™ll add it in a few years
    2
  2788. Or EUC Gymkhana šŸ˜„
    2
  2789. GX over an RX all day!
    2
  2790. Carbon fiber bones
    2
  2791. Then the YouTube algorithm is not your friend šŸ˜‚
    2
  2792. I donā€™t really notice the torque dip anymore, the uel header and tune makes for a really nice linear powerband!
    2
  2793. this was last night!
    2
  2794. Really wanted a black or silver one but the color is growing on me! Beige on beige ftw šŸ™Œ
    2
  2795. Iā€™d personally go with the Veloster N DCT, such a more well-rounded car and performer
    2
  2796. Honestly, it's a bit loud. At 2:34 you can get an idea of what it sounds like.
    2
  2797. It was a serious contender! I just couldnā€™t find one close enough to buy and didnā€™t want to fly out or drive far to see if I liked a used example. One thing that did deter me a little on the rcf was tire availability and the fact I couldnā€™t fold down the rear seats. Otherwise itā€™s such a great performance car. Still might get one someday šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    2
  2798. šŸ˜…
    2
  2799. just a resonator delete
    2
  2800. Yeah, I unplugged it
    2
  2801. I have no idea why they make it sound so terrible. Must not have enough development time/funds to refine it. Honda civic too!
    2
  2802. Mine literally drives a Gladiator Rubicon!
    2
  2803. AutoLab in Plymouth šŸ‘
    2
  2804. For outright thrills and fun factor Iā€™d pick the Ranger Raptor and SS 1LE slightly over the Type R. But for all round use the Type R is hard to beat as a do it all car. Especially if youā€™re going to be tracking it or canyon driving.
    2
  2805. This color definitely triggers me recently having a newborn šŸ˜‚
    2
  2806. The DCT is still the same in the tester we just got but the 8-speed auto is a lot better
    2
  2807. Michelin Primacy 215/45R17s šŸ‘
    2
  2808. 100%
    2
  2809. Oh, if anything itā€™s worse. But it doesnā€™t cost $83k
    2
  2810. Clear Auto Bra Michigan - Larry is a master
    2
  2811. Didn't care for it at first either, now it just blends into the background of the driving experience
    2
  2812. Sweet, congrats! Enjoy it!!
    2
  2813. Same size as oem, 215/45r17
    2
  2814. That's right, it was! I saw a CX-7 the other day from the back and it threw me off lol
    2
  2815. No sand bags in the rear but that would help. Tbh this would struggle in deep snow no matter what you do, it just doesn't have the ground clearance.
    2
  2816. Nope, just my bony right foot
    2
  2817. Idk but at least the Ranger Raptor has nice paddle shifters šŸ’€
    2
  2818. Yep. Just get hub rings to fit 72.6-64.1mm
    2
  2819. Iā€™d guess probably not
    2
  2820. All non-brembo previous-gen pads work - going with Porterfield R4S pads all around - my long-time favorite street/track combo
    2
  2821. Check your tire pressure to see if theyā€™re overinflated
    2
  2822. Itā€™s not, but way better than BRZ tuning
    2
  2823. Itā€™s great, just a little pricey for what it is. But itā€™s worked flawlessly so far
    2
  2824. Yes! 100%
    2
  2825. The real question is would three people fit in the car! You could probably mount it to the windshield, thatā€™s what I used to do with my mini bomber 2 bike rack
    2
  2826. They are :/
    2
  2827. Heck yeah - Looking forward to it too! Maybe I can get a shakedown on track before coming out.
    2
  2828. *safer than the BRZ šŸ˜„
    2
  2829. Not on this day but I reverted everything back and definitely prefer it to the setup I had here with it in full soft. Going to swap in an Integra Type S damper module soon (once itā€™s off backorder).
    2
  2830. 215/45r17. I had these sitting around from substitute topherā€™s Is300, otherwise I wouldā€™ve gone with a taller 205/55r17
    2
  2831. šŸ˜‚ studio driving impressions
    2
  2832. Thanks! I missed having something with big dumb tires. And yeah, gonna have to sell the BRZ. Canā€™t keep them allā€¦
    2
  2833. Sweet! Get a thin oil film like Krown, stay away from the thick coatings and youā€™ll be golden
    2
  2834. Continental ECS might be a good option
    2
  2835. It's a spare taken straight from a previous gen BRZ - you just need the wheel/tire, retaining screw, and foam cover. Plenty of spares for sale on ebay
    2
  2836. I'll play around with it some, but right now running placard for the street, I may need to let some air out for track use - we'll see!
    2
  2837. Meh, 1-2mph over at 70. Not too bad.
    2
  2838. @m-t3ch did paint correct and ceramic coat it šŸ‘
    2
  2839. My favorite saying of 2022 - "It's not competition, it's collaboration!"
    2
  2840. Itā€™s brutal!
    2
  2841. No
    2
  2842. That seems like a sweet setup! Shoot me a message on ig, I used to travel up to Minneapolis all the time but with family now itā€™s tough.
    2
  2843. It's a long list! Lots of little things, but it's added up.
    2
  2844. I wouldnā€™t worry about it on the street šŸ‘
    2
  2845. Yes!
    2
  2846. Hyundai still has this beat imo, it just feels so trustworthy. However this updated Honda Sensing is a big improvement over previous versions.
    2
  2847. therealestmc85 84v
    2
  2848. Speedmaster day-date mk40! šŸ‘
    2
  2849. Itā€™s always been like that. Lightweight wheels/tires at or near factory offset help lighten things up.
    2
  2850. The X4 M40i is pretty legit though. Even though it has a stupid name.
    2
  2851. Thanks! Itā€™s a solar seiko tuna, SNE543P1 https://www.seikowatches.com/middleeast-en/products/prospex/sne543 Definitely a fun watch, prices have gone up a lot though on it since I got mine. eBay might be the best bet šŸ‘
    2
  2852. Above 3000rpm youā€™re fine
    2
  2853. Itā€™s for the best, the ones that do work just melt your phone šŸ« 
    2
  2854. The steering is a little too light, Iā€™d agree
    2
  2855. Availability
    2
  2856. noah wayne one of the first changes I made was removing the clutch helper spring. It fixed all my complaints with a vague light clutch pedal. Highly recommended! Ride quality is greatly improved with the new generation of cars
    2
  2857. Already watched a few videos, great stuff!
    2
  2858. I would keep the Type S!
    2
  2859. It really does!
    2
  2860. I ordered the spare tire kit straight from the dealer šŸ‘
    2
  2861. TTRS with the 5 cylinder would be sweet.
    2
  2862. And then an SLT
    2
  2863. Itā€™s true! 32-33psi seems to be the sweet spot
    2
  2864. Itā€™ll perform better than epa numbers. My 2022 BRZ gets 32 on the hwy all day long! I assume this Wrx will overperform too.
    2
  2865. Iā€™m usually a 9 or a 10
    2
  2866. Would love to, might have a friend build one in the next year or two.
    2
  2867. Right now at 246k!
    2
  2868. This is the base audio, upgrade JBL is in the AWD limited video next week!
    2
  2869. When you leave they say to be cautious for the first few stops but after that thereā€™s no effect on braking performance.
    2
  2870. Agreed, itā€™s like an old BMW in the snow- so much control!
    2
  2871. Thanks Andre!!
    2
  2872. I was so bummed they never brought those to the US. Iā€™d have one and would make a lot of videos on it!
    2
  2873. Yes
    2
  2874. Speedmaster day-date mk40!
    2
  2875. I turned the gear indicator off in the menu. Tires look pretty good, but M1 is smooth. The real test will be to see how well they last at Gingerman next month (weather permitting).
    2
  2876. Comfortable. They could be comfortable
    2
  2877. Thatā€™s good to hear! Iā€™m going to give E85 another go this next summer
    2
  2878. 100% s2000 has always been in the top 5, no matter price.
    2
  2879. That is an excellent question. Also, VTEC. Honda?
    2
  2880. Tedward damn. Bahaha this whole video was gold
    2
  2881. I do
    2
  2882. Yeah, unfortunately it looks like 3-5k markups on these for now
    2
  2883. I didnā€™t, sold it with the car! The 4.10 in this feels perfect though, needed that extra torque from this new 2.4
    2
  2884. Yeah these should have auto-learned too but the shop forgot to wake up one of the sensors on install. Got it all sorted out a few days ago, good to go now šŸ‘
    2
  2885. The store across the street sells them! Silverback offroad and there are a couple others. I like the suction cup two piece flag, fits on any vehicle and stores well on the drive home. But a lot of people bolt them onto front tow hooks too
    2
  2886. The Mark Levinson is fantastic!
    2
  2887. That is true, itā€™s not an easy car to drive at regular speeds!
    2
  2888. Iā€™ll stick with the stock suspension, really happy with it šŸ‘
    2
  2889. Thatā€™s up next!
    2
  2890. Ooof, CT4-V Blackwing is hard to beat
    2
  2891. Yeah, loving the new oil temp gauge in the digital gauges
    2
  2892. Very soon
    2
  2893. Today!
    2
  2894. Awesome, glad youā€™re enjoying your new Venza!!
    2
  2895. First drive is in January!
    2
  2896. šŸ˜‚
    2
  2897. Just posted it yesterday! The grip was actually pretty good towards the end of the day. Did you get a chance to do any more events this year or was it too warm? https://youtu.be/MlpuOyxbD7I
    2
  2898. I'd start with IPD sways, best bang for the buck I've put on an 850.
    2
  2899. No, regular is fine
    2
  2900. Itā€™s really only a problem on launch from a stop, otherwise the car hooks up pretty well once itā€™s rolling
    2
  2901. And again, itā€™s a really easy fix with an aftermarket engine mount
    2
  2902. Same!!
    2
  2903. Itā€™s funny I thought the same thing while editing. 200lbs makes a huge difference!
    2
  2904. They were all over the place! haha
    2
  2905. Yeah this was filmed pre update
    2
  2906. gigamix mix sup
    2
  2907. I havenā€™t driven the manual 2.0t, just the cvt but itā€™s a perfectly respectable engine, decent power. I think itā€™d be a good long term option.
    2
  2908. Agreed. But that's the way embargos work
    2
  2909. Yeah theyā€™re bad.
    2
  2910. Do I have a video for you https://youtu.be/pXoSYQaVeSo
    2
  2911. New cars definitely hold off rusting for a few more years but eventually everything exposed to salt and the chemicals they use out here will rust (usually from the inside out where you canā€™t see it). It only takes about a year or two for steel suspension components to start rusting and seizing. The only thing Iā€™ve seen that prevents it is krown or other thin oil based coatings. Itā€™s the difference between zero rust and holes in the chassis after a decade (or less) of winter driving.
    2
  2912. Both are great options - Iā€™d say WRX for fun and performance, Jetta S for comfort and cost savings! See if you can get in/drive both to see what you prefer
    2
  2913. šŸ˜‚haha glad you caught that!
    2
  2914. Temperature definitely makes a difference too, in California the car felt pretty good in 80Ā° weather, this winter in MI, under 40-50Ā° the suspension was brutal on our roads. It also probably takes some time to break in tbh.
    2
  2915. Changed at 2k miles and then again after 4 track days
    2
  2916. You can definitely still heel/toe downshift, I did it during the test drive without any problems, also plenty of other videos of people heel toeing too. I believe if the gas and brake are pressed at the same time for a couple seconds at speed then then engine cuts power. It will even still let you do a standstill burnout. Search "scion fr-s burnout" so that's good!
    2
  2917. Ooo manual Bronco is a great time. Overall Iā€™d put the Ranger Raptor as the most fun, then MT Bronco, then manual Taco
    2
  2918. Etsy, here I come!
    2
  2919. Can't wait to drive a Kona N, still haven't had one here in MI to film yet!
    2
  2920. It doesnā€™t, the oem fk8 type r spare tire kit works better tbh
    2
  2921. Coming in a few weeks!
    2
  2922. Unfortunately the ML wasnā€™t finalized in these pre production GXs, so weā€™ll have to wait a bit to see
    2
  2923. Topher was just a nickname, short for Christopher. And this channel was always meant to be similar to WR, but with spoken reviews and driving impressions. Thanks for watching!
    2
  2924. Just got about 30 mins to film one this week, video coming soon!
    2
  2925. That was fun šŸ˜„
    2
  2926. I'll have to give it a shot - in the Type R pulling the electronic parking brake while moving just engages full ABS to all 4 wheels.
    2
  2927. Forgot to add that! It's a Torklift Central (EcoHitch) Trailer hitch for 1st gen BRZ slightly modified to fit on 2nd gen.
    2
  2928. Actually ended up taking off the cai and it ran better and retained its power over time. With the cai I noticed it losing the extra grunt from the tune over the course of a couple months...
    2
  2929. Iā€™m biased and would vote BRZ, but would recommend driving as many of your options as possible. Try to find used examples to test drive, dealers usually donā€™t have any issue with that.
    2
  2930. +10hp
    2
  2931. Those are the Subaru brz oem accessory mudflaps!
    2
  2932. From what I've heard it's the same as the WRX oil filter - dealers are stocking oem BRZ/GR86 filters, too. I just cross-referenced a Mobil 1 filter for the WRX.
    2
  2933. Wasnā€™t happy with the last review, 4 takes later here we are lol
    2
  2934. It may have been refined a bit, havenā€™t pushed a newer GX/4Runner enough to know, but aside from all the noise the system does work wonders! Especially crawl offroad
    2
  2935. Probably! Havenā€™t booked one yet but Iā€™m sure it wonā€™t be too long
    2
  2936. Thatā€™ll do it too! Iā€™d go 205/55r17 for extra ground clearance šŸ‘
    2
  2937. Same experience here
    2
  2938. Savagegeese just did a great video on oil and break-in, would recommend watching that!
    2
  2939. I think so, takes a little of the edge off the 19s, tires are less expensive too.
    2
  2940. That Topher drip is šŸ¤Œ
    2
  2941. Long term Iā€™d prefer a second set of wheels, after a few seasons it starts saving money (and you can always resell the wheels if you get rid of the car).
    2
  2942. Hit me up on Instagram! @thetopher2 actually never got a chance to drive a 470. Found one at a dealer and the front brake pads fell out in the parking lot. That was a hard no šŸ˜„
    2
  2943. Not sure exactly, but hopefully sometime in the next couple months
    2
  2944. Yeah they fixed it and were very apologetic, gave me a refund too. Thankfully no damage except for the scoring on the rotor from the pad clips
    2
  2945. Itā€™s much quieter now!
    2
  2946. They say they'll keep making future generation Type Rs, what kind of hybrid/electric drivetrains they'll have going forward is up for debate. We'll find out eventually, but it's pretty safe to say that this is the last completely internal combustion Civic Type R.
    2
  2947. TLX vs Hamster?
    2
  2948. Pure Michigan
    2
  2949. I pay about $130/month to insure my 2012
    2
  2950. 718 Boxster Spyder coming soon!
    2
  2951. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
    2
  2952. BRAID Fullrace FF. 18x9.5 5x120 +48mm offset, 64.1mm Center Bore 265/40R18 Continental DWS 06 Plus
    2
  2953. The monroney from McLaren says 2021! šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    2
  2954. GTI or Golf R would be an excellent choice šŸ‘ the Accord 6mt 2.0t is great also.
    2
  2955. Haha, thanks man - we're braced and ready!
    2
  2956. Love this build! Just took the 850R out for a drive too šŸ˜
    2
  2957. Rear seat room was a deal breaker
    2
  2958. Yeah, before they turbocharged the 991.2 in 2017
    2
  2959. I think we have one on all seasons in a couple weeks, doubt weā€™ll have any snow to play in unfortunately
    2
  2960. -1.4Ā° camber up front, 0 toe
    2
  2961. Thanks! Tedward made a great video on this: https://youtu.be/9EEWH6zf46M
    2
  2962. Thatā€™s way off, the circuit edition for the GR Yaris is only ~Ā£3500 more than the core, which is roughly what we can expect on this Corolla. Also curb weight as quoted by Toyota is 3249, not sure what C&Dā€™s number factors in or if itā€™s just wrong. They fired a lot of the good writers so you never know šŸ˜‚
    2
  2963. Thatā€™s what I love to hear!
    2
  2964. šŸ˜‚šŸ‘
    2
  2965. Thatā€™ll be a blast!
    2
  2966. That is just a suction cup flag holder, simple but effective!
    2
  2967. Theyā€™re about equal!
    2
  2968. Oh yeah, plenty of power!
    2
  2969. Mostly just a GoPro hero 8, some beard, and the other face parts arranged in the usual places.
    2
  2970. It depends on how you tune it, but I could see that being an issue on a higher powered turbocharged car in a more aggressive sport or sport+ setting.
    2
  2971. Stock brakes, I donā€™t know about fluid. I assume stock too
    2
  2972. Yes!!
    2
  2973. He did, weā€™re gonna try to get some V8s for you this summer!
    2
  2974. Awesome! Getting mine done next Wednesday. How long did your dealer take to install?
    2
  2975. The old tire was infamous for wearing out fast. Weā€™ll see how these hold up, Bridgestone did a lot of work with the new compound to both improve treadlife and performance.
    2
  2976. Oh ya
    2
  2977. Iā€™d still go catted, if you ever go with an aftermarket exhaust catless is just going to be insanely loud. You can get rid of the torque dip with the catted, and thatā€™s all you really need!
    2
  2978. Old BRZ is great
    2
  2979. Yeah I took it to Krown a couple years ago and itā€™s held up great. Itā€™s due for another treatment next season
    2
  2980. Next: NASCAR BRZ
    2
  2981. Day date mk40
    2
  2982. Tamaroff in Southfield šŸ‘
    2
  2983. Both are awesome options!
    2
  2984. Sweet! Try to get some sleep until then
    2
  2985. Dynamics remind me a bit of my MK6 GTI. The only knocks I have against it are the traction control (on/off switch), and the lack of a mechanical or electronic limited slip/torque vectoring system.
    2
  2986. Iā€™d consider it tbh, the fuel range isnā€™t great.
    2
  2987. I was about to, then this set popped up for $200 on Craigslist
    2
  2988. Very similar! Both some of Boseā€™s best work right now. If youā€™re comparing to the cx-30, itā€™s about the same, vs. everything else in Mazdas lineup, the Civicā€™s sound system has an upper hand minus the road noise.
    2
  2989. The prototype exhaust they had on the car was so loud I couldnā€™t talk over it. Iā€™ll have a full automatic review soon!
    2

    2
  2996. Thatā€™d be sweet, cheers man!
    2
  2997. Just sold it yesterday! Honestly a RAV4 adventure or TRD would do the trick nicely. Also the CX-5 or CX-50 do great Offroad
    2
  2998. Iā€™d be thrilled with either!
    2
  2999. Oghhhhhhhhhhhh.
    2
  3000. The ones that rotate usually donā€™t move around as much. Autozone or oā€™reillyā€™s
    2
  3001. šŸ‘šŸ‘
    2
  3002. Coming soon! Just got them installed yesterday. Tedwardā€™s video might go live first tbh
    2
  3003. No rubbing after removing the mud flaps and side steps, canā€™t speak for the stock front bumper though.
    2
  3004. Had the same issue!
    2
  3005. Big time, better ride and really well balanced handling when matched with the new 86 rear sway bar
    2
  3006. Just testing the KO3s in the snow šŸ‘
    2
  3007. 29er full suspension and a 27.5ā€ fat tire bike (that doesnā€™t fit). Itā€™s tight with the smaller trunk opening on the new cars. Unfortunately not as easy as the previous generation. You might have to take the seat off too or have a dropper seat post. The best solution Iā€™ve found is a seasucker mount, or a tow hitch.
    2
  3008. Heck yeah https://youtu.be/hSGAHGiP2co
    2
  3009. I havenā€™t, could be a window seal that isnā€™t 100%, dealer should warranty it
    2
  3010. Oops, those were definitely Highlander hybrid stats. Just fixed it, thanks for the heads up!
    2
  3011. Really hoping thereā€™s a press car on winter tires this year šŸ¤ž
    2
  3012. That was my problem! Got lucky with this 460 but gotta keep searching. GXOR Facebook group has some good clean GXs, Iā€™d keep an eye out there too
    2
  3013. Tire pressure is a big factor in general and especially for low traction riding. In this ride Jeff was running about 20psi and I was at ~13. Weā€™re slightly different weights, but there were a couple instances where he spun out and dropped his wheel going up a hill with leaves and I got up it fine due to my lower pressure. Itā€™s hard to find all terrain tires for these wheels, but so far the stock MSX tire has done well with everything Iā€™ve thrown at it. Youā€™d want to find an ideal pressure for your rider weight, and it varies depending on the trail conditions, but that would make the biggest difference.
    2
  3014. 3861 Speedmaster Hesalite in this video!
    2
  3015. Gotta trust your comfort level! The Mazda3 Turbo will be unstoppable šŸ™Œ
    2
  3016. I really like my GotWay MSX and this S18 is definitely a game-changer!
    2
  3017. Great review, thanks for sharing!
    2
  3018. They got covered in mud haha
    2
  3019. Yep, had it for a week!
    2
  3020. I had the same question when I was shopping, since getting the 460 Iā€™ve spent a lot of time in the LX and LC and I prefer the size and maneuverability of the GX460. The LX is fantastic but it just feels so big and heavy that itā€™s cumbersome in the city/tight environments. Theyā€™re different beasts and Iā€™d test both to see what you ultimately prefer but price not a factor I prefer the 460 as a daily.
    2
  3021. Check out Substitute Topherā€™s channel here: https://youtube.com/c/TopherDrives
    2
  3022. https://m.facebook.com/profile.php/?id=100063661456789
    2
  3023. Thatā€™s what Iā€™m reading too, will have to inspect a little closer because it doesnā€™t look like there are any holes.
    2
  3024. 87 octane
    2
  3025. 2SS
    2
  3026. Oh yeah thatā€™s right, the F30 did have the B58. I was thinking new cars
    2
  3027. 205/60R16 should fit and clear everything, though it'll throw off the speedo a bit. Breakaway is pretty smooth, surprising amount of dry and wet traction from these ATs
    2
  3028. Elantra N is the jam
    2
  3029. Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s are a blast to slide around on
    2
  3030. Yeah theyā€™re definitely quieter
    2
  3031. I did the front suspension while the guys at Mack garage handled the diff and rear suspension. The diff honestly wouldā€™ve been a bit above my mechanical scope.
    2
  3032. The GS is awesome šŸ‘
    2
  3033. Yep. That said GR Corolla is still great
    2
  3034. Definitely partial to CTR, the Golf R is a great all-rounder, especailly in the winter/snow, but a bit numb the rest of the time. I'd want the fizz from the Type R if I already had something practical
    2
  3035. Amazing value, those cars are a blast
    2
  3036. Type R is at another level on the track but the GR Corolla is probably a bit more enjoyable on the street. Both are amazing options
    2
  3037. Yessir!
    2
  3038. There are templates for the black. My guy recommended it as it gets chipped and weathered too if unprotected.
    2
  3039. That is stitched in
    2
  3040. Every couple weeks we usually setup a ride. Hit me up on Instagram @thetopher2
    2
  3041. If I can get my hands on one- yes!
    2
  3042. I didnā€™t, AC worked well in my ownership
    2
  3043. Dangit! Well there ya go
    2
  3044. 0-60 should be around 7 seconds
    2
  3045. Eh, I might get another one someday. Would love to pickup a 2022+ once they depreciate
    2
  3046. Haha no more crickets
    2
  3047. Resorts will do that to grab your attention, it's clever!
    2
  3048. No TPMS on the Type R! Just wheel speed sensors
    2
  3049. yep, I'm on VS too, good stuff! have you put up any vids of your volvo? I've got some more on my other site mrtopherproductions thanks for looking! cheers
    2
  3050. Still driving it! Not much is new with it though - It's due for a video update at some point
    2
  3051. Great with winter tires!
    2
  3052. Iā€™m still partial to the Type R, but with a few mods. Type S from the factory is a better, more complete package but not a fan of the seats and more limited rear storage space vs. Type R.
    2
  3053. I did
    2
  3054. Absolutely
    2
  3055. Other than both having responsive, engaging driving experiences they're still pretty different cars. However, I was looking up the ND Miata sound tube mod the other day and that sounds a lot like VTEC lol
    2
  3056. Those J10s would fit perfectly - I do, just because the OEM lugs are so small/cheap -nothing fancy, just the closed end black lugs with the splined key
    2
  3057. It does great, plenty of room for car seats behind me, Iā€™m 5ā€™10 and everything else goes in the bed šŸ‘
    2
  3058. Noticeably stiffer but still comfortable over big bumps. A lot more stable at speed and a lot less nose dive and body roll,
    2
  3059. Definitely lowers things a bit! At stock 850 R ride height and 205/55/16s I have no issues, plenty of clearance. Maybe is a couple inches below the subframe?
    2
  3060. Thanks! Gear is always linked in the description!
    2
  3061. I have a rare rattle on the front driver's side dash somewhere but otherwise everything feels pretty tight. We'll see how it is this winter when we get colder temperatures. Have fun at Silver Lake!
    2
  3062. Thanks for the support, appreciate it man! I'd love to get another GX sometime, but don't have the space or need for it right now with our Highlander Hybrid in the garage. Someday I might try to pick up a used 2022 or 2023 with the updated carplay, that'd be the one to get!
    2
  3063. Havenā€™t driven it in a heavy rain yet but the KO3s are just slightly better, still leave a lot to be desired in the wet. I aired down to 33 psi cold and that helped a lot, but Iā€™ll most likely switch to something else unfortunately. Love the way they look, but I preferred my Firestone Destination X/Ts
    2
  3064. Haha yes.
    2
  3065. Thanks man, appreciate it!
    2
  3066. Flag is just a suction cup mount, goes on just about everything. I always carry a bridle, long kinetic rope, a couple soft shackles, and foldable traction boards šŸ‘ Congrats on your Raptor, enjoy your adventures in it!
    2
  3067. Ranger Raptor!
    2
  3068. I'm thinking with the front wheel off and the seat dropper post slammed that'll do the trick! My 27.5 fat bike is just huge so that's probably why it doesn't fit. The 29er skinny should be fine.
    2
  3069. Bad road conditions and unaware drivers are probably the biggest issues. Itā€™d be fun to do some offroad riding though!
    2
  3070. Oh, no idea - must've had something accidentally show up in the edit. Thanks, I'll trim it out on YT.
    2
  3071. Hoping they make the Circuit trim/interior more readily available too in the future
    2
  3072. Yeah, need to film an offroad test on the 35s soon!
    2
  3073. Man, my wife makes fun of me so much šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ it was the same with the old BRZ
    2
  3074. No
    2
  3075. Youā€™re right, my error!
    2
  3076. Ken_T we might try to snag a long-term Veloster N from Hyundai this next year or so...a lot of fun things we could do with it between the channels. šŸ¤ž
    2
  3077. As long as the tire diameter is the same as oem, speedo will be the same!
    2
  3078. Haha I am! Rear facing child seat works great, we have the duna with a quick release. Canā€™t fit a passenger in the front seat at the same time but in a pinch they can sit behind the driver. Stroller even fits in the trunkā€¦barely.
    2
  3079. Itā€™s probably getting too late to order one, Iā€™d look for one already for sale or call around and get on lists for canceled orders.
    2
  3080. +Motokour I turned traction control off
    2
  3081. Nah, this is too much fun
    2
  3082. Thanks! I think the DJI Action 5 really shines in low light, but the hero 12/13 still look better during the day šŸ‘
    2
  3083. Itā€™s great! Overall I average about 28-30mpg. Just stay away from cold air intakes, the car runs the best with the stock one. a catted header and a tune will serve you best šŸ‘
    2
  3084. For some reason Volvos seem to eat through them. Should feel great after the new bearings and shocks, gā€™luck!
    2
  3085. Front wheel drive, but there were some European AWD 850s toward the end of 96 and into 97.
    2
  3086. Since March earlier this year!
    2
  3087. Thanks! I take it to get Krown rust proofing once a year and do a few touch-ups on my own in the spring.
    2
  3088. Absolutely. And that sums up the new GTI/Golf R driving experience, one of the most dangerously distracting cars Iā€™ve ever been in because of all the stupid touch controls. I literally didnā€™t want to drive this car the week I had it because I was afraid of how distracting it was to use. You can try to discipline yourself and only use the screens when parked/safe but it realistically isnā€™t going to happen 100% of the time.
    2
  3089. Haha didnā€™t notice that. Had to sneak a look!
    2
  3090. It was!
    2
  3091. I didnā€™t, haha got lucky
    2
  3092. It actually does a really good job with back roads. Took it out west through some mountain passes and the kdss with the adjustable suspension in sport rotated nicely and is well balanced. Itā€™s still heavy, but compared to a land cruiser feels almost nimble.
    2
  3093. Yeah, I mean you still have to respect physics, but for what it is itā€™s totally fine on a twisty road. Love the rear-biased 4wd system
    2
  3094. Itā€™s been solid! Need to do another update video on the KO3s in the snow once we get some more cold weather
    2
  3095. The one youā€™re riding
    2
  3096. Two Tophers take turns to test transportation things.
    2
  3097. Can't do as many jumps with a station wagon.
    2
  3098. coming soon!
    2
  3099. Owned one for a year, loved it! A little small for a family but otherwise a wonderful car.
    2
  3100. Thatā€™s the best part! So easy to use
    2
  3101. Tedward looks awesome šŸ™Œ
    2
  3102. Yep, any local auto parts store should have them for a few $
    2
  3103. Tedward then kaput.
    2
  3104. Awesome, congrats! Love that hot pepper red too šŸ™Œ
    2
  3105. S for semantics
    2
  3106. Coming soon!
    2
  3107. Yes, there are floor ducts
    2
  3108. Itā€™s true, this took forever for me to find
    2
  3109. šŸŒ
    2
  3110. Haha this was filmed yesterday šŸ˜†
    2
  3111. Iā€™ve heard great things and Iā€™ve heard of issues. Time will tell, weā€™ll find out!
    2
  3112. It was probably Tedward or Daily Motor or Winding Road haha
    2
  3113. All personal preference, you canā€™t go wrong with either. The Miata is probably a tad bit more fun, the brz a lot more livable and usable as a daily driver. Choosing between the two is like choosing between apple pie and cherrie pie. Youā€™re gonna have some damn good pie either way.
    2
  3114. I was pushing a bit harder, wanted to see if the auto could step out more than the previous gen. It can!
    2
  3115. ckworks none. But, I will be towing with it for the first time next week šŸ‘ I hear they do great, especially with the air suspension
    2
  3116. Might be the 18ā€ wheels and duck tail spoiler on the premium GR86. Itā€™s funny how that works!
    2
  3117. GVWR is way over 6,000lbs, that's what counts
    2
  3118. Thatā€™s one thing I forgot to compare was the trunk opening between the two cars, they definitely changed it in the new car and Iā€™m not sure itā€™s a bit as big as it used to be.
    2
  3119. ARB
    2
  3120. Oh man, thanks - glad youā€™re enjoying the videos! Iā€™ve been thinking about a tune, weā€™ll see what comes out in the next few months šŸ‘šŸ‘
    2
  3121. Yeah these tires are super fun to drive on. They let you move around a bit on the street and add some drama to the experience. Want stickier rubber, I know of an affiliate link in the description that works great!
    2
  3122. Harryā€™s LapTimer!
    2
  3123. Starts right up with clutch in, feels pretty average and unobtrusive šŸ‘
    2
  3124. Camber bolts
    2
  3125. This week it was too hot, gonna see some kneecaps šŸ˜„
    2
  3126. GXs are pretty efficient for what they are! Still, anything with a lift seems to arrive at about the same fuel economy no matter what it is.
    2
  3127. Oh no, Iā€™m just an employee/contributor. I re-launched their YouTube channel back in 2011 and have been cranking videos out ever since!
    2
  3128. It's true, so sad I sold my gold JDM RG362s off my old BRZ, those would've been perfect.
    2
  3129. Pretty similar honestly, this was one of the best riding vehicles Iā€™ve been in recently
    2
  3130. Really fast, not missing shots anymore - the focus is bang on accurate. Skin tone colors are really good too for headshots. I love it. Downsides are the the dynamic range isn't as good as my Nikons, and the battery life in the 5D4 sucks, at least compared to the D500 or D3s where I could shoot for a week on the same charge!
    1
  3131. For a fast rack the weighting and feedback at speed is great. Like any rack, you really have to get going to steer easily, but there isn't a lot of weight to move the wheel under. I'm depowering my Miata's rack now after driving this. Lol
    1
  3132. Around 130-140k
    1
  3133. +AKJeeper Drone isn't too bad, but it's also not silent. It didn't seem to bother me too much on a 4 hour trip to Chicago. I agree, the more I learned about Canon gear, the more I appreciated it. Little conveniences started to add up!
    1
  3134. +Alex Lopez I actually got this truck from Toyota as a press loan - it's configured pretty perfectly, you're right!
    1
  3135. This thing works great! I think the blades just need to be sharpened.
    1
  3136. +Vannette Brown Yes, I had to plug it into a PC and get the firmware updated before it worked. It was a major pain to get right, but finally got it by trying different things. Now the wheel feels even better with some tweaks. I'll be posting some new videos in the coming weeks with my updated settings, etc.

  3137. Just switched to Canon after shooting Nikon for 12 years. Lol brand loyalty be damned!
    1
  3138. +Vadim Khomenok or a sequential transmission
    1
  3139. Oh hey Eddy!
    1
  3140. The only major issue is ground clearance. I haven't had a problem getting through 6 inches of snow with the skinny 195/60/16 blizzak ws80s I have on there. The brz is a blast to own and drive! I really enjoyed my mk6 gti but the brz is just that much more enjoyable to own.
    1
  3141. Good stuff, needs to be said!
    1
  3142. I met someone with a Dinan 135i just the other day. I'm not sure if he's down to film a video, but I'll see if we can set something up.
    1
  3143. Bad ass. I was looking forward to this one after hearing about it on the podcast!
    1
  3144. They're super old rollerblade wrist guards that are starting to crumble lol. But I picked up a set of these and am pretty happy with them as a replacement: https://amzn.to/2HXCZJ0
    1
  3145. +joegolden481 can't beat that! And yes, you have a point. Part of me wants to get an already 5-speed swapped and modded wagon to play with so I can leave this stock. The light was an SRS error, dealership cleared it earlier this spring and it hasn't come back šŸ‘
    1
  3146. +assassin72 yep, I've just kept it on the 91 off-the-shelf tune all year. Still very happy with it, no issues.
    1
  3147. +Martijn Bruggers Definitely! I'm keeping it out of the salt right now here in MI. Tomorrow it's going in to be detailed by Marc at Autolavish :D So I'll try to get a video on it before and after through some of that process - he'll be working on it over the next few weeks.
    1
  3148. Thanks Tyler, glad to help!
    1
  3149. Cool guy!
    1
  3150. Mohamed Hussein yep! The BRZ and Miata just got converted to winter mode! Hopefully we get some snow soon
    1
  3151. joegolden481 I know, right! Tires are BFG g-force sport comp2. They've worn pretty quickly but have excellent grip, especially in the wet. Next I'll probably go with Continental DW06, I have them on the BRZ and love them.
    1
  3152. TTymeThaFliBoi I think those are stock C5 corvette wheels
    1
  3153. No rattles, but I have in press cars and others I've driven. There's an issue with some of the trunk welds rattling with the rear seats down but it's not big enough of an issue for me to do anything about it.
    1
  3154. Awesome! So now the question is - when is your mom getting hers tuned?
    1
  3155. +Vlad Saghin Op, yep! That's what happens when I upload videos at midnight.
    1
  3156. DoctaM3 thanks for letting Tedward drive the Huracan, that was a great surprise! šŸ‘

  3158. Novi, Michigan
    1
  3159. Sweet. You'll love it. Camera is the Sony FDRX3000 4K Action Camera http://amzn.to/2s53Bna Just picked it up a couple weeks ago, loving it so far!
    1
  3160. +Glade Turner lol, let's try polishing it out once it gets warm out.
    1
  3161. FatBananas yeah, my fault - I accidentally had it on the medium view setting from using it with a gimbal. Kinda annoying in hindsight. I got a dedicated gimbal to avoid it happening in the future.
    1
  3162. +Martijn Bruggers Seriously! I think if I upgraded the pads and rotors and did a trans cooler it'd be a pretty fun car around the track. I'm about to get the 850R back from my detailer this weekend, so I'll be posting more videos on it soon.
    1
  3163. It was cool! Glad to have the opportunity to drive one :D They were getting shipped back to the west coast right after I finished filming...so might not get to drive one again for quite some time. I'm curious to see if the finish quality will be improved on later builds, the white NSX was car 000, and looked like it had lived a tough life..
    1
  3164. Jordan Bezugly thanks! I'll check it out, looks like a quality header.
    1
  3165. +Michael Z Compomotive TH2s - 16x5.5"

  3166. +Another Needless Network I heard the opposite, but I'll have to give it a try since I haven't yet. Thanks
    1
  3167. +richzilla08 we'll always include it in street drives, but at the track when we have to drive up to grid, etc it interrupts our flow so much that it usually doesn't happen. In hindsight, I should have done a walk-around with the GoPro after driving a car. -Chris

  3170. Sirui Gu they only brought the 4-speed automatic to the USA. Someday I'll look into doing a manual swap, but for now I'm enjoying it as is.
    1
  3171. Just switched to Canon after 12 years with Nikon lol. Rocking a couple 5D MKIVs, and I love 'em.

  3174. +Anthony Williams It's awesome!
    1
  3175. That's good to hear!! I've only ridden in one around Mid Ohio and that's about what I thought too, but was worried it might be different on the street. Still want a 997.2 GT3 though...
    1
  3176. +The SpooKa The wheel feels freakin' awesome on PCARS, way better than on Forza. I had to tweak the settings a little bit to get it feeling right, but don't remember what they are, next time I'm on I'll check.
    1
  3177. +The SpooKa yeah I was thinking about doing that. I'm going to spend a bit more time with both, it's only been a few days with pcars. Just spent last night playing with a friend and he was able to basically jump into the seat and start driving project cars. He's not an experienced wheel gamer either. Forza was a different story, it was "fuck this, I'm switching back to project cars" after 7 turns at the Nurburgring. Lol
    1
  3178. ok
    1
  3179. +15steelcity lol it's true. I still have nightmares šŸ˜‚
    1
  3180. IgnitionTube what's your exhaust setup?
    1
  3181. Tim Kubeshesky I was filming with a Nikon D600 - and wearing binaural in-ear microphones plugged into the mic input. Just kept my head in the car and out of the wind!
    1
  3182. Robert Niemi with skinny winter tires it does great in the deep stuff.
    1
  3183. +Martijn Bruggers I thought you'd like this one!
    1
  3184. +Jason Mckee Definitely! Have they cracked the ECU code on these 2015s yet? The owner said that they've been having trouble tuning the 2015s.
    1
  3185. Sweet! I went for the 7 year/100k mile warranty for my BRZ.
    1
  3186. #respectthewing! also, I have those pants.

  3192. +OnTheRocks it would be the perfect vehicle for MI roads....I was thinking the same thing!
    1
  3193. lol it does look rusted in the video, didn't notice that. It's actually a perfectly brand new, clean, gold chain. Looks totally different in person!
    1
  3194. aelomari1 glad you like it, I thought we'd get back to our roots with some of these videos!
    1
  3195. Wow. They had everything there!
    1
  3196. O'Reilly's sells the mirrors, they're great! Now I have the Corsa catback on the car, but I think in this video the exhaust was stock.

  3199. Want!

  3201. The manual is a lot of fun! Thatā€™s what Iā€™d pick personally
    1
  3202. The Si is the gas mileage king of fun to drive manual cars!
    1
  3203. Yeah keep it under 4-5k, limit cruise control, idling, wide open throttle, and short trips, lots of varied rpms.
    1
  3204. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Iā€™m ok!

  3205. They should be close! Weā€™ll just have to do a drag race someday šŸ˜ˆ

  3206. My mistake there, itā€™s a 2018 - first year to come with CarPlay
    1
  3207. Sure thing, good luck! Also look into/inquire about this: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/engines-suspension-wheels-tires-audio-accessories/173-tire-balancing-must-read.html With road force theyā€™ll be able to tell immediately what is the issue. If not however, Another possibility is that a brake rotor is out of balance, Iā€™ve experienced that before with cheap aftermarket rotors. Probably a lot less likely with oem stuff but you never know
    1
  3208. Man I absolutely love the accord, Iā€™d get any version of it honestly.
    1
  3209. That sweet DJI Osmo action stabilization!

  3223. šŸ˜‚
    1
  3224. The MR2 sounds awesome!
    1
  3225. Had to go out of state! For some reason Ohio is pretty reasonable with markups.
    1
  3226. Oooo that looks minty
    1
  3227. I used to feel the exact same way. But Iā€™ve gotten used to it the more I use it. Some models are better than others too. And with Apple CarPlay itā€™s actually pretty nice. I think if you lived with it youā€™d be ok
    1
  3228. Sadly no, but he did live to ~15 years old, he was a great dragon!

    1
  3231. Iā€™d definitely look beyond your local dealer if you want to find a manual, but yeah I really like the CVT in these civics. Theyā€™re known to be more reliable than other brands too. If you really want a manual Iā€™d consider the Si too.
    1
  3232. Both options are pretty numb these days, GR86 has lighter steering with a touch more feedback.
    1
  3233. The infotainment is a bummer for sure, but still not as bad as the Golf R & GTI imo
    1
  3234. Yeah, itā€™s the throw out bearing. It hasnā€™t gotten worse in the last 20k miles, but eventually Iā€™ll have to plan on replacing it along with the clutch.
    1
  3235. Yeah just noticed that today, report em! Trying to ban and delete them as they come in
    1
  3236. The 96 850 R is sold! Onto better things with this 97 5-speed...
    1
  3237. Mirror dimmers kicked on for some reason

  3238. @barchetta575m Actually, that is just the radio! I use a Garmin 2760 for a GPS.

  3240. If thereā€™s one in your area, would highly recommend Krown Rust Control! Just got the BRZ treated today
    1
  3241. Insurance everywhere Iā€™ve checked is expensive, I keep the BRZ on our family plan, so I save a lot that way but definitely want to check with a few places before purchasing

  3254. Nah
    1
  3255. Scion was handing them out at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit for press days this year
    1
  3256. Veloster N was bone stock!
    1
  3257. Yeah, I never had any drivability issues with the Corsa Intake, but with the stock back on it seems to have held onto its original level of power since I re-flashed the tune back in the fall. That didn't seem like the case before, but I don't have any data to confirm either way, just butt dyno
    1
  3258. True, and altitude!
    1
  3259. Only on the A-Spec!
    1
  3260. The KS14D is really good value for just a bit more above your budget ($770). Itā€™s kind of like a mini Inmotion V10!
    1
  3261. So angry, so fast!
    1
  3262. This!

  3266. I'll do a real world fuel economy test soon, but so far 28mpg on the first tank, not bad!
    1
  3267. Young Breezy is gone! Sold in the spring
    1
  3268. Straight-piped is fun too šŸ˜‚šŸ‘
    1
  3269. Iā€™ve burned zero oil in this one so far, even after a track day. I was surprised, maybe thanks to following break in procedure?
    1
  3270. When we talked to the Honda engineers they recommended 0w20 for daily use, 5w30 for the track
    1
  3271. This one was in great shape because it lived most of its life in Oklahoma. Many of the others I looked at here in Mi were pretty bad, Iā€™d recommend trying to find a southern car, and rust proofing it. Iā€™ve been using Krown for the past two years and itā€™s holding up great.
    1
  3272. sorry about the random cuts to my dashboard lol. oh kevin kevin kevin, what did you do to the timing lights!? great event, great course - had a lot of fun!
    1
  3273. Itā€™ll be fine - bought seat back protectors and a trunk mat.
    1
  3274. For shame!!
    1
  3275. Nope, so far so good!
    1
  3276. Yeah I did 3 drain and fills every oil change with this 4runner to get it clean, not sure when it was changed with the previous owners. Now Iā€™ll probably do a drain and fill every 20-30k to keep it fresh
    1
  3277. None
    1
  3278. Love to hear it!
    1
  3279. I did not, no code from unplugging it!
    1
  3280. I didnā€™t notice a difference tbh
    1
  3281. If youā€™re going to do any track driving at all, definitely Z51!
    1
  3282. Normally on regular roads no, but yep- trail riding is a different story!
    1
  3283. Some early Rangers had it bad. My truck was clean underneath, got it rust proofed so it stays that way
    1
  3284. I asked about why the dampers were so stiff at the launch and the answer was basically ā€œbecause itā€™s sportyā€ lol. I think it was a decision made in the same realm as the 20ā€ wheels on the FK8. Make the car more extreme for the sake of it, not necessarily for the betterment of it dynamically. Ultimately itā€™s not a huge deal, most people put coilovers on these things anyway and that makes a huge difference. Iā€™ll see how it handles on track and can always quickly revert it if I run into issues, but tbh I think itā€™s going to feel great. The one thing Iā€™m curious about is tire wear with the softer setup - on track at Sonoma it was really impressive vs the fk8 and that could have something to do with the damper stiffness. Weā€™ll see and Iā€™ll report back!
    1
  3285. We're going to find out!
    1
  3286. Iā€™ve always wondered that too! I donā€™t think there is. After living with it for a week it didnā€™t end up bothering me as much as I thought it would. But Iā€™ve heard that in some drive/shifting modes it doesnā€™t beep
    1
  3287. H4WKE Iā€™m still convinced itā€™s the best all-round driverā€™s car on the market. May get back into another one someday! A 2017+ would be sweet
    1
  3288. Thatā€™s riiight. Never made that connection, thanks!
    1
  3289. I have one and itā€™s great! Just need to use it more
    1
  3290. Sweet, thatā€™s great to hear! Did you go new, used?
    1
  3291. An engine development engineer at Ford told me heā€™d change the oil right off the lot if it were his car.
    1
  3292. I don't believe so - that top speed is tire limited, so a good thing to keep in place tbh.
    1
  3293. You definitely can, a sand bag or two will help. I havenā€™t needed any extra weight running narrower tires, but when I had 225 wide winters my first year on my 2014 BRZ I got stuck a lot in deep snow and needed a couple bags in the back.
    1
  3294. Yes
    1
  3295. With the rear camera mirror itā€™s great! Otherwise you canā€™t see much out the back.
    1
  3296. Fuelly says Iā€™ve averaged 340 miles per tank, 19.7mpg, but there are a lot of highway miles/road trips in there. Daily in the city yields about 16-17mpg
    1
  3297. Just added it to the description - best time: 23.496 on lap 9.
    1
  3298. I was hoping the RAV4 Prime would be out by now. But a Corolla-Cross GR-4 or whatever Toyota does with that powertrain would be a pretty sweet alternative.
    1
  3299. The XSE/XLE are quieter šŸ‘
    1
  3300. Ā @r.j4925Ā  Yes, I found out about Krown rust control a few years ago and that's kept everything I drive in the salt rust free. That video gets filmed next week!
    1
  3301. Oh man, Iā€™d go drive both and see what you prefer. One advantage to the Mazda3 is you can disable stability control for some fun in the dirt/snow. The cx-30 has a great traction control system for daily and offroad. Both wonā€™t have amazing fuel range for 50k miles a year. Wouldnā€™t dismiss the CX-5 either..
    1
  3302. I remember when they used to run on 3 cylinders in the 80s šŸ˜‚
    1
  3303. It's hard to say, definitely depends on driver and conditions - both of which are highly variable throughout the day and sessions! But I'd say all things considered they're about even, in the right hands.
    1
  3304. Oh Iā€™m just a month behind with editing. Canā€™t wait to get these snow videos out of the way!
    1
  3305. Yep, it does a pretty good job accommodating shorter drivers šŸ‘
    1
  3306. Itā€™s not a 70ā€™s yugo, it can handle redline all day long
    1
  3307. Thatā€™s it!
    1
  3308. No check, but they did send the tires for review
    1
  3309. She ended up going with a GLI. I may get a FRS or BRZ here in the next year though... I'll be taking a road trip in one at the end of the month, we'll see after that!
    1
  3310. Congrats! I usually do my first oil change around 1000 miles, but could even go earlier, around 500.
    1
  3311. They only brought automatics here to the US
    1
  3312. I will say, these arenā€™t amazing in the snow and ice. I actually preferred the cooper htp all-seasons, they were awesome year round
    1
  3313. Probably the best bet. As an all-terrain tire in all other conditions these have been fantastic!
    1
  3314. Yeah, everyone here is clothed. Keep interneting
    1
  3315. Nah, normal and quiet exhaust modes areā€¦quiet
    1
  3316. I was thinking that too, but AC has been good on some hot and sticky days here in MI.
    1
  3317. Yeah tcs is off, they are awesome in the mud.
    1
  3318. It hold mode it does šŸ‘
    1
  3319. I like watching your face talk on the moving picture.
    1
  3320. The nd3 is much more planted
    1
  3321. 5ā€™10
    1
  3322. Oh yeah, no problems at 5ā€™10. Thereā€™s a lot of space in the back of the new civics.
    1
  3323. Oooo that brings up a really good point, I need to get a winter safe spigot šŸ‘
    1
  3324. Tires were ~40psi too, let about 5 psi out after everything cooled down and had a lot more grip. Oil temps were hot, around 255Āŗ
    1
  3325. Noise vibration harshness
    1
  3326. lol, I think so!
    1
  3327. Same, excited to post those videos!
    1
  3328. Button hold seemed to be pretty much off. You might still need to pedal dance for full off like the last gen
    1
  3329. For a sports car itā€™s pretty livable, I did some very long drives in my old BRZ and didnā€™t have many complaints. The seats are comfortable and road noise is slightly improved on the new cars
    1
  3330. @BlackMesaSecurity nope. It's only droney on cold startup for about 4 minutes and some days in the cold at WOT. Great exhaust for long trips, completely quiet at cruising. I just drove 1500 miles on it this weekend to KY and it was great.
    1
  3331. Hopefully soon! It's been down pretty much the whole winter - needed a clutch replacement and then an 02 sensor. Driving it today, I've missed it!
    1

  3335. Iā€™d take this or an FK8 over the manual Supra tbh
    1
  3336. Yeszir!
    1
  3337. Thatā€™s a great question, I donā€™t have many hills to test on but I donā€™t think they do.
    1
  3338. MOMO Start seat! Just added it to the description too šŸ‘
    1
  3339. Does it still eat rear pads with traction control off?

  3343. This was relatively rattle free all week. Which is good, every Golf Iā€™ve ever driven has had rattles.
    1
  3344. Hopefully itā€™s all itā€™s quacked up to be.
    1
  3345. It's running the Stg 2 91 v3.0 OTS tune
    1
  3346. So you can take your tire to a shop for repair/replacement. Scissor jack is super useful too, doesnā€™t damage pinch welds!
    1
  3347. To get to the run, it starts at 0:32
    1
  3348. Go drive both!
    1
  3349. The fiesta st is an absolute riot! The ride is kind of harsh, but that was my only complaint. What part of the country do you live in?
    1
  3350. Also check out our fiesta ST videos on Winding Road if you havenā€™t already
    1
  3351. Grew up in a 91 240 Sedan!
    1
  3352. Itā€™s funny, my parents arenā€™t really car enthusiasts at all, but my dad had a red Karmann Ghia coupe when I was a kid and thatā€™s what got me into it at an early age. After that was a string of Volvoā€™s, and now they have a better garage than I do šŸ˜‚ minus the 850 R of course
    1
  3353. just posted one
    1
  3354. Thatā€™s true, and a good point šŸ‘
    1
  3355. C8 all the way
    1
  3356. *Waste. Waist is the part of the human body below the ribs and above the hips. Now you know the difference!
    1
  3357. I still have no idea why this car exists!
    1
  3358. Just picked it up at the local auto parts store, $4!
    1
  3359. Not really, but it sounds good!
    1
  3360. Yes, there are a bunch of different options we can choose from
    1
  3361. šŸæ
    1
  3362. Sweet! Youā€™ll love it. For my 2ā€ Once it settled Alignment came out great so no need for ucas. And I think you only need a diff drop with 3ā€ or higher lifts
    1
  3363. Yeah thatā€™s an interesting note, this MC20 was surprisingly compliant, you can tell from the video it didnā€™t have as much of a problem putting power down as the car we drove out in CA.
    1
  3364. Itā€™s true, the NDs never quite got the steering feel right (Fiata did though) and the ND2s donā€™t sound like anything. An exhaust, and a few brake and suspension tweaks and youā€™re in great shape though with the new Miataā€™s. At that point though, youā€™re into it for $35-$40k šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    1
  3365. 5ā€™10, I think so!
    1
  3366. Yep, that belt driven fan is loud for the first few seconds! Kinda cool though, you donā€™t hear that much anymore
    1
  3367. Ooof. S2000 šŸ˜‚
    1
  3368. Pink Mirrors - Ooyy
    1
  3369. We'll see if we can get one here in Detroit!
    1
  3370. Will do! Charlieā€™s a champ

  3372. Eccentric camber bolts
    1
  3373. Thatā€™s what I was thinking too, but Toyota is calling it multilink šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø I shouldā€™ve talked to them about that
    1
  3374. I think I had bad allergies during this haha
    1
  3375. I usually run placard or a couple psi below. If it's super icy or I'm ice racing I'll air down but usually it's ~32-34psi
    1
  3376. Wouldn't be surprised, I've seen stray cats around there before. Could be a bird too
    1
  3377. Nope, stock
    1
  3378. Toyota claims not having full-time 4wd is a durability thing and I'm sure to some extent it is, but also it's less expensive to manufacture (no center diff, etc.) We'll see about longevity on the new Ranger Raptor. I heard overseas the previous gen was pretty stout. If I didn't get the Ranger Raptor I probably would've tried to find a clean 100 series Land Cruiser, always wanted one!
    1
  3379. Mostly the GoPro Hero 8
    1
  3380. Itā€™s an easy swap, just plug and play!
    1
  3381. Heā€™s actually the result of an old cloning infomercial by Billy Mays. It really worked!
    1
  3382. Yeah, the Ford Perf tune has been great!
    1
  3383. Agreed on the silver stitching! All the red in the BRZ is a bit overboard.

  3387. Sweet! transforms the entire car, doesnā€™t it?!
    1
  3388. 1LE wheels are in the garage. Oe tires donā€™t work in the winter
    1
  3389. 15.3
    1
  3390. Always have!
    1
  3391. @BlackMesaSecurity nope. It's only droney on cold startup for about 4 minutes and some days in the cold at WOT. Great exhaust for long trips, completely quiet at cruising. I just drove 1500 miles on it this weekend to KY and it was great.
    1
  3392. That makes sense. Well, that leaves the GT3!
    1
  3393. Standing by the phone lol
    1
  3394. Haha drilled the bumper and mounted the plate!
    1
  3395. Sounds like itā€™s time to shop around a little bit!
    1
  3396. Yes, there is a fuel gauge on the generator. You donā€™t really need the app to operate anything, thereā€™s even an eco mode button on the unit itself
    1
  3397. xan_den the rattles in this particular car were terrible!
    1
  3398. I do, swear by Krown rust control - that's the next BRZ video!
    1
  3399. How are you liking the RS4 as a daily?

  3402. Yep!

  3403. Theyā€™re savage!
    1
  3404. It was fun! Videos coming very soon
    1
  3405. That works too!
    1
  3406. It is a lot of fun to drive!
    1
  3407. autolab in plymouth - I usually just give them alignment specs and they get it to the decimal point!
    1
  3408. In the US not much has crawl control and MTS, but both can be added very easily for about $500. Lots of info on how to do it on the forums
    1
  3409. I hear what youā€™re hearing, part of it is the audio blowing out and the other is the shift knob rattling slightly. Knock correction via the OFT is 0Ā° all day, fortunately.
    1
  3410. Yeah because all the cars I review are already broken in šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    1
  3411. 303 protectant šŸ‘
    1
  3412. Yeah, I always thought that was interesting the new 4Runners donā€™t have that grab handle, even the GX and FJ have them.
    1
  3413. https://youtu.be/Iz61rEvh49E?si=pPczvyKHdPBJTxJP

  3414. Oh man, that was so intense! I wasnā€™t letting this one go.
    1
  3415. On planet GR86, Type R, RC F, etc etc
    1
  3416. Yes
    1
  3417. Haha we did. Lotus made it easy in the Emira!
    1
  3418. Yeah that really fits with what MI roads are looking like these days too. Come to think of it Iā€™ve been on rallycross courses that are smoother lol. Itā€™s not even fun to drive a stiff sports car anymore around here.
    1
  3419. Sweet, youā€™re gonna love the MSX, itā€™s a beast!
    1
  3420. Yeah that was a fun plate. I decided to retire it though. Have had it on two Volvo 850s at two points in my life now lol
    1

    1
  3424. Haha I drove a really nice Chevy SS manual a few weeks ago, it was the last car I considered before putting a deposit on the BRZ - I liked it, but at the end of the day didn't love it, wanted something lighter/nimbler. Though the Chevy SS makes so much sense as the do-it-all daily.
    1
  3425. Didnā€™t have to! Rattles everywhere
    1
  3426. Thanks! Hopefully see you out on track sometime next summer!
    1
  3427. One of my favorite tracks!
    1
  3428. At 4500ā€™ too!
    1
  3429. yep, stock na engine. I have polyurethane engine and transmission mounts though, those bring a lot more engine noise into the cabin, which sounds great and perform well. exhaust is stock. all other mods are suspension and tires.
    1
  3430. DMā€™d!
    1
  3431. Sounds great!
    1
  3432. Interesting! As soon as I get my hands on one Iā€™ll review it
    1
  3433. Ā @mattritgerĀ  A performance winter tire might be a good middle ground - something like the Pilot Alpin 5
    1
  3434. I might look into those, just donā€™t want to introduce more NVH into the car.
    1
  3435. Howā€™s the Golf R treating you? I saw youā€™ve been enjoying the 4Runner this winter!
    1
  3436. This feels pretty similar, maybe a little lighter
    1
  3437. Hahah šŸ˜‚
    1
  3438. Needed a bigger family car, otherwise we wouldā€™ve kept it!
    1
  3439. Donā€™t get me wrong, still love the Elantra N. Canā€™t beat the value.
    1
  3440. Krown sells a salt eliminator product that does a great job, but an upward pressure washer should do the trick too
    1
  3441. Nissan made some changes to the cvt after 2017 to address some of the issues. Supposedly those are more robust transmissions
    1
  3442. There are some videos on specifics but you have to insert and remove the seat belt 20 times I think in a row after startup? Itā€™s kind of a funny sequence lol
    1
  3443. Appreciate the support!! Thatā€™s a tough one, the new Trail Boss/ZR2 are really good. I slightly prefer the turbo 2.4 in the Tacoma and the TRD Offroad suspension is softer for daily use, but that back seat is a little tighter in the Tacoma if youā€™re hauling around family. Resale will be a big win for taco too. Iā€™d probably just barely pick the Tacoma. Excited to see Ranger one of these days too.
    1
  3444. Yeah, I had a much better launch at the end of the video
    1
  3445. Unfortunately anything over 31.5ā€ doesnā€™t fit with the factory hitch like mine. I tried a 265/70/17 bfg ko2 off a 4runner (31.6ā€) and that was a no go. I also know another owner who tried fitting those at3ws and couldnā€™t do it, even with deflating. Itā€™s a bummer itā€™s so tight back there!
    1
  3446. Nope, and with the performance exhaust mode off itā€™s virtually silent
    1
  3447. You can learn more about the wheel or order your Inmotion V10/V10F here: http://www.euco.us?ref=10
    1
  3448. This has aged so gracefully
    1
  3449. Thatā€™s good to hear! My dads FJ is due for a fresh set of K02s. And yeah, Iā€™ll probably go with a Dobinson 2ā€ lift at some point. The oem suspension feels so fresh right now though Iā€™ll probably do under body armor first
    1
  3450. Just doing some mental math itā€™s around $5k for parts/minimal labor for everything on top of the purchase price. No turning back now! Haha
    1
  3451. Iā€™ll see what pops up!
    1
  3452. You could go with stock sizing or 215/45R18 if you want a little more sidewall šŸ‘
    1
  3453. Local parts store blind spot mirrors. They donā€™t look great but theyā€™re super functional
    1
  3454. https://www.bmwusa.com/vehicles/all-electric/i4/gran-coupe/overview.html 536
    1
  3455. I haven't, need to get that setup.
    1
  3456. Sweet, enjoy!
    1
  3457. Just had a kid so Iā€™m sending Charlie to the first drive in a couple weeks! I will get another chance to do my own review here soon too.
    1
  3458. Definitely
    1
  3459. This is my life with the S2000 šŸ˜‚
    1
  3460. Theyā€™re excellent first cars! Parts are a little expensive, but theyā€™re pretty easy to work on and there is a ton of instructional content on YouTube and on forums with diy repairs, etc. repairs at the dealership are going to be super pricey, but an indie mechanic will save you a lot. Check out Robert DIYā€™s channel on what to look for with S70s/850s before buying.

  3461. ā€œHey man, I need to buy your Camaro before December 31st.ā€ -Me

  3464. Yes

  3465. May he rest in peace. Lived to 15!
    1
  3466. Just shy of 10k
    1
  3467. Hit me up on instagram @thetopher2 would love to film it!
    1
  3468. Thanks Sameer, appreciate the support!
    1
  3469. Ehhhh
    1
  3470. Frame was in surprisingly good shape. from Harbor Springs, they donā€™t use much salt up there, just sand.
    1
  3471. Eccentric camber bolts
    1
  3472. Press cars!
    1
  3473. Hat clip šŸ‘
    1
  3474. Need to find a good one!
    1
  3475. Just ordered an analysis for the k Miata last week, fingers crossed!
    1
  3476. Compliments to Hyundai!
    1
  3477. Heck ya! How did the Sony fare after getting Raptored in the face with a bunch of snow?
    1
  3478. Yep!
    1
  3479. Still loving the GX! One of my favorite vehicles Iā€™ve ever owned and Iā€™m having trouble finding or thinking of a better offroad worthy suv in the class. I do prefer it over the LX just because itā€™s smaller and easier to live with. I take it into the city all the time and itā€™s never a problem.
    1
  3480. Either Mobil 1 or the synthetic the dealer puts in. Just running 0w20 since it doesn't see the track anymore.
    1
  3481. Iā€™d vote a used GX 460!
    1
  3482. Interesting!!
    1
  3483. Redline is 6700 rpm, limiter doesnā€™t kick in until 7400
    1
  3484. On track you typically donā€™t want to see coolant above 220Ā°F, oil temps can get up to 265Ā°F maybe a bit higher and still be safe, depending on the oil youā€™re running and how pressure is looking.
    1
  3485. I usually stick to the 1000 miles, lots of varied revs under 4k in the first few hundred and ramp it up gradually from there. Little idling as possible, longer trips, then an oil change at 1k
    1
  3486. Yeah, that was annoying!
    1
  3487. All awesome cars, would love to someday!
    1
  3488. I wouldnā€™t exactly call a GT3 RS ā€œquickā€...in some ownersā€™ hands šŸ˜‚
    1
  3489. There are very very very tiny little holes for self-tapping screws. I'm not looking forward to installing the plate.
    1
  3490. haha he got some good slides in earlier!
    1
  3491. Wet performance has been awesome. 2023 FL5 Honda Civic Type R - Flooded Track Day on FK460 All Season Tires (Waterford Hills Raceway) https://youtu.be/xottLRkRiCo Snow/winter performance hasnā€™t been anything special.
    1
  3492. It's 1080p
    1
  3493. Theyā€™ll all be perfect manual swap candidates in 20 years!
    1
  3494. They're fine! Not as much visibility around corners as the adaptive lights will have but they're still very good at night. I'll try to get a night drive in here soon.
    1
  3495. Lol thatā€™s true
    1
  3496. The new mustangs are actually really good! Personally prefer the FR-S though, fits me and my driving style better
    1
  3497. Weā€™ll see how much it gets tracked this summer. For now Iā€™m okay with just keeping an eye on temps. On cooler days it doesnā€™t need it, but on the hotter ones it wouldnā€™t be a bad idea.
    1
  3498. Holly oaks is the way to go, have fun!
    1
  3499. Yeah, a set of 18ā€ winter or aggressive all seasons would be perfect
    1
  3500. Exactly!
    1
  3501. The S4 did feel more refined but wasnā€™t nearly as sharp to drive quickly. Turn in felt vague and lifeless, and for weighing over 300lbs less than the Type-S it felt heavier and more cumbersome around a corner IMO. The new S4 drives more like an S6 in this B9 generation. Itā€™s fine, but not that fun or exciting
    1
  3502. The smaller screens are fine, the big tablet is a pain sometimes. Iā€™ve had some issues with dropping CarPlay connection in some of them too, especially my BRZ.
    1
  3503. I'm excited for the manual supra, but ultimately prefer the responsiveness of a high-revving naturally aspirated engine, especially for track duty
    1
  3504. We were actually able to adjust the rubber points where tailgate rests on and that eliminated the rattles from the rear. Front end rattle went away eventually, so itā€™s pretty quiet now which is great šŸ‘
    1
  3505. Yep! Plenty of people out there getting these at MSRP now
    1
  3506. Just drove the Trailhunter, video this week!
    1
  3507. Indubitably
    1
  3508. Hahah
    1
  3509. Not as much as I thought it would haha
    1
  3510. I probably have a little bit of stock in some oil companies šŸ§ šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    1
  3511. Definitely
    1
  3512. Hahah I hear ya, but not everyone wants to shell out a couple grand for a watch, or deal with the associated maintenance. My triple date is due for a $600+ service here soon šŸ˜¬
    1
  3513. My buddy had a 3rd gen Viper a few years go, they were eerily similar sounding!
    1
  3514. Nope, this is all mazda
    1
  3515. There is a difference in the info between the BRZ and GR86, thatā€™s probably what youā€™re seeing
    1
  3516. On cold starts itā€™ll run the engine until everything is warmed up to temp. Also if thereā€™s a big demand from the Hvac system itā€™ll start up the engine.
    1
  3517. This is the OE tire: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=CrossContact+LX+Sport&partnum=645HR0CCLXS&autoMake=Honda&autoModel=Passport+AWD&autoYear=2019&autoModClar=Elite
    1
  3518. Sorry, not sorry! Enjoy šŸ˜„
    1
  3519. They had a lot of brake dust
    1
  3520. Yep, thanks!
    1
  3521. Carbonized gray šŸ‘
    1
  3522. Itā€™s a tank!
    1
  3523. It was empty šŸ˜‚
    1
  3524. Yeah, one from the last gen will fit but with some hammering and cutting. Iā€™m going to give it a shot
    1
  3525. Yeah that used to be the case with the ND1s, but now some of the new GTs have the diff
    1
  3526. 5ā€™10. You might fit, would definitely sit in one and give it a try šŸ‘
    1
  3527. Thanks to Air Lift Performance for sharing their customer vehicles with us! Learn more about their air suspension here: https://bit.ly/2Gr8RqD Also, thanks to Chris Brower for his help with the shoot, find his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/drivenbydreams

  3528. hahah, Winding Road was first! And then I copied myself
    1
  3529. Circlam bring a trailer in Maryland
    1
  3530. Focus RS is such a beast in the winter! Had one a few years ago with the drift stick and it was incredible.
    1
  3531. Driverā€™s door was having trouble closing all week, had to adjust
    1
  3532. This and the BRZ are two of the only pure sports cars left šŸ‘
    1
  3533. Iā€™d recommend DBA4000 front rotors, and any pad/high temp fluid of your choice. those DBA rotors helped a lot to reduce brake fade.
    1
  3534. Swapping out the PS4S tires will definitely make a difference with road noise. It wonā€™t be Lexus quiet, but the PS4S is one of the loudest tires out there. Iā€™m going to switch to 18ā€ DWS 06 plus for dd, will report back when theyā€™re on!
    1
  3535. boom: http://www.euco.us?ref=10
    1
  3536. IMO the raptor can be surprisingly fun around corners. Steering is on the heavy side and Iā€™d swap out the KO3 tires if you see a lot of rain for something like the Bridgestone Dueler AT ascent or Continental terrain contact. This will give you enough mechanical grip and confidence to push it in the dry and wet. Sadly the Biggest deterrent with the Mach e rally is the narrow window of performance you get with the state of charge and battery management. Once battery drops below 60% it cuts power a lot. Ford needs to address that.
    1
  3537. Didnā€™t make it out to Woodward last year unfortunately, might have been one of the Platinum Motorcars Type Rs
    1
  3538. GoPro 12
    1
  3539. Cold Cup2s are sketchy
    1
  3540. Iā€™d get a CT4-V Blackwing
    1
  3541. Chyeaah! Iā€™ve said it before and Iā€™ll say it again, my favorite thing about your videos is how you bring the viewer in and make him/her feel like a friend through the camera. When I watch the vlogs I feel like Iā€™m hanging out with you guys (until I realize Iā€™m just at home sitting on the toilet lol). Thereā€™s no BS, just good times. You set a good example for the current and future YouTube generation. Even though itā€™s been a long start, Iā€™m glad youā€™re finally gaining some traction. Toyo R888Rā€™s will do that šŸ˜œ

  3542. Thick spray on coatings will trap moisture but krown is a super thin oil film that gets everywhere water and salt spray does. Best solution Iā€™ve found for keeping cars rusting from the inside out.
    1
  3543. Totally
    1
  3544. Most mods should work!
    1
  3545. Exactly.
    1
  3546. Very soon!
    1
  3547. Agreed. Luckily it only takes 15 mins to unplug it. No fake engine noise in this video
    1
  3548. Thatā€™s what everyoneā€™s saying, but the monroney for this Bronco says itā€™s an Advanced trim with the Heritage edition. No mention of big bend anywhere
    1
  3549. No grinds or crunches, MT-90 did wonders for smoothness, especially in the cold. Iā€™m still on the Cosworth pads, Iā€™ll probably go to porter field R4-S next, my go to daily/track pad. Highly recommend those if you canā€™t find the Cosworth street masters anymore
    1
  3550. We also towed with the Ridgeline! Actually had close to 5000 pounds on it and it was a champ too. Really like that truck
    1
  3551. Winter boots
    1
  3552. Practicality & price!

  3554. 4 high through pretty much everything. Took the FJ out there recently and needed 4lo all day with the 5-speed auto.
    1
  3555. Up to 17.8 now with more break in miles, itā€™ll improve a bit more
    1
  3556. Every press release on this car states itā€™s the same engine from the Focus RS. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a29145957/2020-ford-mustang-ecoboost-high-performance-drive/ https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2019/04/15/new-high-performance-package-for-2020-mustang.html https://www.torquenews.com/1/2020-ford-mustang-ecoboost-premium-gets-focus-rs-engine-enjoyable-drive https://www.motortrend.com/news/2020-ford-mustang-ecoboost-high-performace-package-photos-specs/
    1
  3557. I have it turned off
    1
  3558. Probably will be selling mine soon, working on picking up something special...
    1
  3559. 4:51! It wasnā€™t too eventfulā€¦
    1
  3560. Same, someone local bought everything as a drag setup for his turbo FR-S and never got around to using it.
    1
  3561. All the time, that was a great car
    1
  3562. @onscar 17 something? Slow :)
    1
  3563. Yep, lots of tire boogers!
    1
  3564. Oh ya! Coming next week
    1
  3565. Yeah, kinda scary!
    1
  3566. 2 winters later on this s2k, no rust anywhere. It works
    1
  3567. The smaller one
    1
  3568. Yep, procal tune and stock suspension
    1
  3569. Itā€™s pretty noisy
    1
  3570. Yep, itā€™s a problem! A throttle controller (pedal commander or something similar) 100% fixed it for me
    1
  3571. Shoot me a private message on instagram! @thetopher2
    1
  3572. Thatā€™s it for now, maybe weā€™ll get some track time in one this summer.
    1
  3573. Theyā€™re beadlock capable with the $800 rings from ford.
    1
  3574. Not really sure, it's getting diagnosed as I type. It might be something in the radio, or a center vent. I think I'm just going to subscribe to sirius and call it a day. Still love this car for what it is, I've driven over 200 different cars through the magazine after getting this GTI and I still think this is one of the best all-around vehicles out there for daily driving.
    1
  3575. Yeszir, day-date MK40 šŸ‘

  3576. https://www.kbb.com/car-advice/vehicles-list-zero-gravity-seats/
    1
  3577. Thanks Catalin, appreciate it!
    1
  3578. Oh yeah! Probably holding onto it for a little while longer too. Itā€™s just so useful!
    1
  3579. 22 BRZ šŸ‘
    1
  3580. Sweet! Went with Krown - oil based costing. Itā€™s not much, about $140 for an annual application. Served me great for 4 winters with my GX, Iā€™ll keep it going with the 4runner!
    1
  3581. Definitely a good mod for auto cars!
    1
  3582. šŸ˜‚
    1
  3583. not necessarily, it can be an aggressive or sexual thing. we have a ground hog that lives under the porch, and it's right in his line of sight on his log, when he sees it he goes nuts and gets very aggressive, black beard, head bobbing, the works.
    1
  3584. They all do that
    1
  3585. Oops, fixed. It is a 2023. Thanks!
    1
  3586. Take it back and have them straighten the steering
    1
  3587. The BRZ tS had them and they were good but the road manners were pretty loud and harsh compared to these Z3s
    1
  3588. @RobertMoua lol yeah it is, all the test mules look like that though! Can't wait to drive this and see if it comes through as a true driver's car like everyone is hoping
    1
  3589. Been trying to get one for ages, we just booked a loan!
    1
  3590. Averaged about 28mpg over the last year
    1
  3591. hahaha, I see 80-90-100...you guys are awesome. All the other magazine testers are pansies pussy-footing it around public roads and reading off specs from the manufacturer. I don't need numbers, I need videos like this, the cars can speak for themselves, and you guys have enough balls to get that across to your viewers.. respect guys!
    1
  3592. I'll probably do trans and diff fluid after the first couple track days
    1
  3593. Blind spot mirror
    1
  3594. Dope! Any rubbing?
    1
  3595. Iā€™d take it down to 20-25 psi, have fun!
    1
  3596. Hopefully early this fall
    1
  3597. Weā€™ll have to have a rematch since the Mach-E GT wasnā€™t out yet when this was filmed
    1
  3598. So did we!
    1
  3599. That would be ridiculous
    1
  3600. Probably right, I think you get the best band for the buck in that trim, especially when you compare it to any of the luxury crossovers on the market.
    1
  3601. Working on it!
    1
  3602. Itā€™s not great, but also not a deal breaker. Iā€™d say itā€™s a slight improvement over the Si but after driving the new WRX with ZERO rev-hang itā€™s disappointing to see Honda and Acura still giving us cars with amazing manual transmissions and irritating amounts of rev-hang.
    1
  3603. I've always stuck with 0w20, if I did a lot of heavy tracking I'd probably switch to 5w30 but realistically it only sees a few track days/year.
    1
  3604. One-two BRZ+Si punch this week!
    1
  3605. Stock pads are awesome
    1
  3606. Coming Tuesday!
    1
  3607. But sheā€™s also ripped and plays lacrosse
    1
  3608. šŸ˜‚
    1
  3609. As long as you clean it and keep up with it itā€™ll be fine. Most people never maintain their alcantara and then it does start looking terrible. Even so, it can be brought back
    1
  3610. Thanks! I don't think there's a way to adjust turn signal volume/tone like there is in Mazdas
    1
  3611. Itā€™s true, except the new WRX! They finally figured it out.
    1
  3612. Oops šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø lol
    1
  3613. I appreciate it!
    1
  3614. Lots of interest, no commitments yet! Part of me wonders what else Iā€™d have if I did get the Volt....the funny thing is I contemplated getting a Volt again earlier this year. But didnā€™t, Iā€™m not getting a Volt lol.
    1
  3615. I have all the stock parts but car is being sold as is
    1
  3616. Iā€™m mostly using the oem red mat but when it gets nasty out I swap to the Husky liners - pretty happy with the fitment vs recent experiences with weather tech. The bottom of the mats have these really sharp spikes though which makes swapping them out painful.
    1
  3617. What rear sway bar you like the best with the oem front bar? Thinking just slightly bigger than stock to be similar to the GR86 setup
    1
  3618. I wasnā€™t, but thatā€™s cool, Iā€™ve been seeing a few around locally!
    1
  3619. You only live once, probably worth it! The manual trans will be a bummer in traffic, but so will any manual trans. If you bend a wheel just throw on a set of 16ā€ with meaty tires!
    1
  3620. Yeah you have to retain as much ride height as you can. Iā€™d even recommend going with slightly taller tires to gain a bit more. I lived in NYC for a little while so I think you could swing a brz no problem in the city. Itā€™s small, that helps!
    1
  3621. I never really noticed 2-cylinder mode all week, which is commendable.
    1
  3622. Porch sevā€™n aye-teen speeder
    1
  3623. That's a good question - if you have a location nearby you can take it there and they'll check it out. I'm not sure if they'll remove any existing rust, might have to do that yourself or take it elsewhere, but it can't hurt to get it coated and at least preserve what's there.
    1
  3624. Section details in my video descriptions šŸ‘
    1
  3625. Same.
    1
  3626. I havenā€™t had any overheating issues on track. Iā€™m not running in 90-100Ā° temps, but still really happy with the stock cooling
    1
  3627. How well did the repaint match the original finish?
    1
  3628. Hey Kyle! Iā€™ll see what I can get my hands on šŸ‘šŸ‘
    1
  3629. Oh the new manual Supra is awesome! Track driving impressions are coming soon
    1
  3630. It still feels quicker
    1
  3631. Sticking with whatever doesnā€™t leak!
    1
  3632. We use it all the time šŸ‘
    1
  3633. You can order it from Ford Performance and some dealers will install it
    1
  3634. The manual is a blast, takes some time getting used to it but once calibrated itā€™s a pleasure
    1
  3635. I canā€™t get it to latch like that, will try messing with it when I have a chance
    1
  3636. It was the carbon fiber šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    1
  3637. Continental ExtremeContact Sport is a great option
    1
  3638. Yeah, stock exhaust, charcoal filter removed, and I also took out the sound insulation panel on the underside of the hood. That helped bring a bit more engine noise into the cabin.
    1
  3639. 5ā€™10
    1
  3640. Didnā€™t have much of a choice, BRZ was the only one I found to buy in a reasonable amount of time šŸ‘
    1
  3641. Iā€™m usually at the Ann Arbor/Zingermans cars and coffee šŸ‘ come say hi!
    1
  3642. Brice Allen soon! Changing up the exhaust setup this week and then have to snag some winter tires for this season šŸ‘
    1
  3643. Brice Allen and yeah, this is possibly the most fun wheelā€™d thing Iā€™ve ever done.
    1
  3644. Haha yeah theyā€™re not, these are some random wheels with snow tires
    1
  3645. Yep, the day after I filmed this video šŸ˜‚
    1
  3646. Tedward made a great video https://youtu.be/9EEWH6zf46M
    1
  3647. Iā€™m pretty sure it already hit one and is now overcompensating for itā€™s past experience šŸ¦Œ
    1
  3648. I'm going to try disconnecting the sway bar for the next track day and see how it goes. Then maybe will go to an AP2 bar or NC Miata bar. That inside wheel lifting is the problem!
    1
  3649. It doesnā€™t, sounds great
    1
  3650. Iā€™m 5ā€™10ā€ but have some friends who are 6ā€™3-4 and they fit fine
    1
  3651. I was surprised at how heavy this is, over 1000 lbs more than a base Ranger
    1
  3652. Nope, this is the new MT88
    1
  3653. Great Lakes Toyota/Subaru in Findlay, OH. Timing is everything!
    1
  3654. Check out the owner Mikeā€™s new instagram here: https://instagram.com/justcarpeoplethings?igshid=Y2IzZGU1MTFhOQ==
    1
  3655. Followed by a Pacifica 392
    1
  3656. It also wasnā€™t working before the mud, must be a wonky setting or software issue
    1
  3657. Gingerman Raceway - South Haven, MI
    1
  3658. I really enjoyed this 840i, with the AWD in the winter, itā€™s probably my choice between the two. 4 wheel steer is magic too
    1
  3659. Absolutely
    1
  3660. The GX has the most comfortable ride quality. Off-road the suspension is amazing too on the Overtrail šŸ‘
    1
  3661. OE Michelin Primacy tires
    1
  3662. https://braidusa.com/
    1
  3663. I didnā€™t, itā€™s just plug and play. Speedo is determined by the rear wheel speed sensors. I had the same question before I did the swap too!
    1
  3664. Yes
    1
  3665. This is the 96 Iā€™ve had since 2015, selling it because I have the new 97 5-speed. I know, itā€™s confusing with two identical cars lol
    1
  3666. Nah, the Type R is fantastic
    1
  3667. Itā€™s been rock solid.
    1
  3668. Excellent!!
    1
  3669. Toyota always does this, the Tacomaā€™s i-force max is tuned to run on regular 87, this achieves ā€œoptimal performanceā€ on 91. Both have identical power and torque ratings.
    1
  3670. I think soā€¦James from Throttle House was able to
    1
  3671. Iā€™m getting the matte painted fenders and front bumper area PPFā€™d since that canā€™t ever be polished out, thatā€™s it for now.
    1
  3672. Wild!
    1
  3673. Oh yeah, If you drag the clutch a little on downshifts itā€™ll pop almost every time. Pretty cool, and from what Iā€™ve heard sounds gnarly with an aftermarket exhaust!
    1
  3674. Exactly!
    1
  3675. Yeah I thought it was fine
    1
  3676. Itā€™s true! The 8th and 10th gen have completely opposite personalities.
    1
  3677. https://youtu.be/9EEWH6zf46M
    1
  3678. The Supra is great but imo the Type R is more fun to drive, especially as a manual
    1
  3679. It is, weā€™ve seen some unique press car configurations this year, supply issues are throwing a wrench in some options!
    1
  3680. Robert Townsend they donā€™t click like they used to!
    1
  3681. I live my life a quarter mile at a time.
    1
  3682. Theyā€™re all pretty loud on the highway tbh, different tires will help but itā€™s one of the only issues on the new civics. The Mazda 3 is a lot quieter if thatā€™s a deal breakerā€¦
    1
  3683. @iBigBlackDev Sweet, enjoy and good luck!
    1
  3684. Nope, itā€™s all up to your right foot.
    1
  3685. Yeah this is just a GoPro on a helmet, the other videos are the Sony fdrx3000 mounted to a hat clip upside down on a baseball cap. Gets an almost perfect POV šŸ‘
    1
  3686. Iā€™d vote BRZ/86 or Fiesta ST
    1
  3687. Z4 šŸ˜ˆ
    1
  3688. Day date mk40 šŸ‘
    1
  3689. 18s
    1
  3690. Yeah, itā€™s too dark- weirdly so. But you get used to it
    1
  3691. With the heat on I havenā€™t had any issues with overheating on track, thatā€™s good enough for me here in MI!
    1
  3692. Lakeview Mountain Bike/Hiking Trailhead West Lakeview Dr, Plymouth, MI 48170 https://goo.gl/maps/FwR8zXqZhaDChrGJ6
    1
  3693. Right?! Pretty much anything goes as long as I minimize the fleet. And with all the press cars weā€™ve been getting thatā€™s a pretty attractive prospect. The BRZ is already up for sale, going to hang onto the 850 R and GX for now, but weā€™ll see how the rest of this year goes.
    1
  3694. This had 255s in the front, 265s in the rear. Speedo was off by quite a bit though, so the rears must have been smaller diameter than oem. Itā€™s tough getting tires this year, so I imagine thatā€™s all that was available!
    1
  3695. It's about 1-2mph below gps speed above 45mph, not as bad as I was expecting!
    1
  3696. Hahah
    1
  3697. @BlackMesaSecurity nope. It's only droney on cold startup for about 4 minutes and some days in the cold at WOT. Great exhaust for long trips, completely quiet at cruising. I just drove 1500 miles on it this weekend to KY and it was great.
    1
  3698. Baby fit great in the belly!
    1
  3699. Now Iā€™ll never be able to unthink this every time I open the rear door šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
    1
  3700. Tbh it kind of is
    1
  3701. 0-69 eh? šŸ˜
    1
  3702. Bugatti Veyrons will be cheaper
    1
  3703. Thereā€™s no rev hang on the Type R and Integra Type S
    1
  3704. Hahah The Grand Tour tried!
    1
  3705. šŸ‘yeah well see what realistic mpg is over the next few months. Probably in the teens
    1
  3706. Oh yeah! Veloster N is a riot
    1
  3707. That has nothing to do with it, all within the engineā€™s computer management
    1
  3708. Baby Doona w/the quick release. Super easy to get in/out
    1
  3709. Didnā€™t have any issues with mine over 4 Michigan winters, you should be in good shape. Winter is the most fun time to drive it šŸ˜‚
    1
  3710. Sweet, thatā€™ll be a fun setup! And yep- thatā€™s it. I bought undersized WinterContact Si tires and regretted it immediately with the loss of ground clearance haha
    1
  3711. Yeah youā€™re definitely buying this for the driving experience and power train. Itā€™s always been that way with these cars though. Even the BRZ feels like it has a better quality interior.
    1
  3712. Theyā€™ll be going back to Paul at Braid USA, living on his wifeā€™s Impreza!
    1
  3713. Interesting! That makes sense with it kicking in as the wheel returns to center on a transition. I'll play around with it a bit more in the dirt here soon. If you remember which video that was with the reviewer/Ford engineer, post it up here, I'd like to watch that.
    1
  3714. Thereā€™s zero lane etiquette here, itā€™s terrible šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    1
  3715. Yeah, there was a some diff whine in this Miata for some reason. Havenā€™t heard it in any of the other NDs Iā€™ve driven.
    1
  3716. PS - my 3rd run starts at 5:35
    1
  3717. Meh, I tried it for a bit. The juice isnā€™t worth the squeeze imo
    1
  3718. Manual bronco is still more fun to drive but this Tacoma manual feels properly old school
    1
  3719. It's not just about winter traction, the extra grip from these Duelers in the wet and dry is worth the swap alone. I'm going to drive on the KO3s some more this winter and give them a chance, but tbh I haven't been impressed with any aspect of their performance yet. They're still a well-rounded all-terrain but there are better options out there imo.
    1
  3720. Thatā€™s the way to do it!
    1
  3721. Theyā€™re everywhere in MI!
    1
  3722. Burnout battle!
    1
  3723. How?
    1
  3724. Can I ever! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6G4q8NT6VnQ1iQbHS1bYC2D7n4usy319&si=BvROdvsWF2gY8BCW
    1
  3725. Yeah, keep it simple, Lexus! Itā€™s already pretty over-styled.
    1
  3726. I found the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on the BRZ tS to have pretty poor road manners, they were loud over bumps and on the highway. A little stiff, too. Great on track though, and in the wet - but not as grippy as these Direzza Z3s. They're a longer lasting tire, probably, but in the end probably not my top choice.
    1
  3727. I love the way the Highlander Hybrid drives. The gas mileage is really impressive too. Weā€™ll post some more videos on one this week.
    1
  3728. Curious, what makes you want a Highlander Hybrid instead of a Pacifica PHEV?
    1
  3729. Thanks! Steering feel will be best on your BRZ tbh. Type Rā€™s steering is 2nd best though, really good weight and nice feedback for a modern eps rack. Ride is on the stiff side, especially in the cold. Not as big of a fan of the adaptive dampers in this fl5 as I was in the fk8 type r. Ride smooths out some in the warm temps but Iā€™m very tempted to go with coilovers and an adaptive suspension bypass. New BRZ rides so smooth in comparison lol
    1
  3730. Bunch-a ruffians and scoundrels!
    1
  3731. Weird, thatā€™s all YouTube doing it on its own. I have my first ad manually placed at 18mins in yt studio.
    1
  3732. 5ā€™10
    1
  3733. Volvo is doing great! Itā€™s getting a little TLC this week actually
    1
  3734. THIS CAR F%#ks!
    1
  3735. Autozone $4 special!
    1
  3736. Yep, that's the idea!
    1
  3737. Besides the 1.5ā€ spacer lift, yep - completely stock
    1
  3738. Sweet!!
    1
  3739. Iā€™ll feel it tomorrow
    1
  3740. GR Corollaā€™s is far better with the Type R adaptive damper module but stock Type R suspension with Type S damper module is better than GR Corolla.
    1
  3741. Just realized I subconsciously stole Steven's tag line in this video. Sorry bud!! I had it in my mind from somewhere, now I know where.
    1
  3742. Yes, you can turn it off. Itā€™s hidden somewhere deep in the menu but itā€™s there
    1
  3743. Yep, that sounds about right šŸ‘
    1
  3744. Eh, stick around for the V11 review. I wasn't a fan.
    1
  3745. Hyundaiā€™s new 8-speed wet clutch DCT is fantastic, in the same league as this DSG.
    1
  3746. Working on it!
    1
  3747. In the morning
    1
  3748. 7.6 šŸ˜†
    1
  3749. Hahah tempting but no
    1
  3750. Thanks! 3861
    1
  3751. Don't forget about AWD drivetrain loss
    1
  3752. I could do that!
    1
  3753. That's the plan!

  3754. rhythminmyhead partout?
    1
  3755. 3249lb curb weight
    1
  3756. Yep. Only showed up for the video šŸ˜‚
    1
  3757. Heh, just wait for the Toyota 86 video...
    1
  3758. They definitely come and go!
    1
  3759. At the time he wasnā€™t old enough to drive Porsche press cars, gotta be 25!
    1
  3760. Haha a niner full suspension and a trek fat tire for winter riding šŸ„¶
    1
  3761. Yeah we do! What say you Mazda?!
    1
  3762. Gingerman raceway in Southaven, MI
    1
  3763. But the sound with the top down!
    1
  3764. Yeah the manual swaps sit a little higher on the highway because of the higher final drive.
    1
  3765. Just posted the 2022 WRX GT (CVT) review here: https://youtu.be/AAyXJRgoEUc
    1
  3766. Weā€™ll have a night drive on the Winding Road channel šŸ‘
    1
  3767. It could be a broken clutch disc!
    1
  3768. Theyā€™re honestly about the same. The passport was a little quieter over bumps, but my GX has 145,000 miles on it...
    1
  3769. Itā€™s been great. Not a ton of room inside but just enough. Super comfortable, and a lot of fun to daily!
    1
  3770. It felt fine to me, not too light, not noticeably heavy either. Easy to modulate for smooth starts and shifts
    1
  3771. Itā€™s intense.
    1
  3772. Coming soon
    1
  3773. Yes, first thing I did when I drove it home!
    1
  3774. Yeah itā€™s a sandwich plate cooler at the filter housing
    1
  3775. You nailed it in this video. Sums up Autocross exactly! How many runs did they give you guys?
    1
  3776. Wow. That's a lot of driving for Autocross. Here it's 3-5 runs, 50 seconds each (or less) and waiting all day to drive. That's why I switched to track days lol
    1
  3777. It's a little different looking for 2022, in the back passenger side of the car
    1
  3778. Yes but it probably shouldnā€™t be. Frozen pedals are bad, ice inside the wheel is bad, and the tread patterns/tire compounds arenā€™t really well suited to snow and ice.
    1
  3779. See how it drives, get a good pre purchase inspection, could either be a good deal or a complete basket case šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    1
  3780. Itā€™s rated as moderate
    1
  3781. Did you notice a difference in handling with the ucas, better able to maintain geometry through a corner?
    1
  3782. Yep, same Toyota cruise control stalk theyā€™ve had for ages!
    1
  3783. Word on the street is that the fk8 kit actually fits the fl5ā€¦perfectly. Gonna investigate
    1
  3784. Wouldnā€™t remove the catalytic converter. the owner here removed the big rear suitcase muffler
    1
  3785. Yeah that's an annoying option box to check on your $87,000 M4. At this point it should be standard if you can get it standard on a $25k economy car.
    1
  3786. Feels exactly the same, and yep- itā€™ll offer better protection on track at higher temps
    1
  3787. If you can get a WRX at MSRP - that's a really solid buy. First turbo Subaru with proper tuning from the factory (in recent memory lol)
    1
  3788. https://youtu.be/-jphoGYq1tI
    1
  3789. Couldnā€™t explain it exactly but check out the YouTube videos on it for the whole process!
    1
  3790. GR86 is stiff, BRZ is comfortable
    1
  3791. It'd be fun to revisit it. Sold it to a friend a while ago, it's still local!
    1
  3792. Adds weight, more expensive, poor throttle response.
    1
  3793. Itā€™s true!
    1
  3794. Just a newer GoPro, the in-camera stabilization is top notch
    1
  3795. Yeah, a couple more weeks and these Blizzaks are outta here - they served us well!
    1
  3796. Yep, way slower
    1
  3797. Yes
    1
  3798. Yes! Forgot to mention those, kinda puzzled as to why that was changed in the 2022
    1
  3799. It actually will reduce wear on the clutch, since youā€™re not slipping it every time to downshift
    1
  3800. Digging the POV!!
    1
  3801. I use washed playground sand, no chemicals and it's very fine. I also heard you're not supposed to use sand, but it's easy to clean up poop and it's cheap, and in my 2x4 ft tank using anything else would be incredibly expensive. Also, I feed him veggies out of a shallow dish, and crickets from a bowl. I make sure no sand gets in either. Other than that, he's had sand in his tank for as long as I've had him, and most likely before (when he was an adolescent).
    1
  3802. VTEC is his drug.
    1
  3803. Yep, just bolt it in!
    1
  3804. Yeah no CVT either. An embarrassing purchase. šŸ™ˆ
    1
  3805. 255/70R17 Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S
    1
  3806. It's just the OEM BRZ/86 spare from 2013-2020. Pick a used one up from eBay
    1
  3807. One revolution around the sun
    1
  3808. ITS Damper module is the way to go
    1
  3809. Itā€™s like the front and rear end was designed by two completely different companies
    1
  3810. Coming very soon! And thereā€™s the Polestar 1 & 2
    1
  3811. And the diesel is still too slow...
    1
  3812. the concave 17s look amazing
    1
  3813. yes, I unplugged the active sound control in the dash - so no fake engine sounds, even in +R mode
    1
  3814. Weird, wonder if the battery was disconnected or something prior to my loan, it was pretty bad all week on my tester. Couldā€™ve been a preproduction car too (?)
    1
  3815. We both have white Type Rs, I'm not buying a white GX though hahah
    1
  3816. I only used independent shops for my maintenance on this, took it to the dealer for a recall but that was it. Iā€™d research shops in your area with good google reviews and go with that!
    1
  3817. Absolutely, offset is perfect with this setup, not too wide.
    1
  3818. Used cars exist. People buy them
    1
  3819. 3.5 seconds is what car and driver got šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    1
  3820. Should be about 11.5ā€ now up from 10.7ā€
    1
  3821. GoPro hero 11 is awesome!
    1
  3822. You can go until you run out of liquid!
    1
  3823. Agreed!
    1
  3824. I knowww, but I filmed/drove this first and then forgot about uploading it before haha
    1
  3825. Weā€™ll see how they do in the winter. So far not impressed with their performance.
    1
  3826. For real. 30 series sidewalls are risky.
    1
  3827. Iā€™ll keep bugging them about it!
    1
  3828. Itā€™s CT4-V Blackwing week! Joe just posted his review yesterday too haha. Such a fun car.
    1
  3829. Coming soon!
    1
  3830. Yes
    1
  3831. Feels slightly more responsive at lower revs, like the Integra.
    1
  3832. Good thing itā€™s not visible to the human eye, just the GoPro
    1
  3833. They did remove the pedal dance! Not noticing any intervention while sliding by holding the traction/stability control off button though, so that's good.
    1
  3834. Nasty cam!
    1
  3835. It's true, slides like butter!
    1
  3836. Thanks! The goal is just to be entertaining enough on YouTube lol - always working on improving!
    1
  3837. The FA20s in these (2014+) seem to be pretty stout, never had any issues in 60k miles and after I sold itā€™s still going strong.
    1
  3838. Iā€™ve thought about this long and hard. And the answer is I donā€™t have a clue. Probably Civic Type R, that captured my heart and then made it beat really fast. The Veloster N is great, but let down a bit by its interior. That said, itā€™s more of a hooligan than the scalpel that is the type r. Lexus GX and a Miata, thatā€™s probably the answer lol
    1
  3839. I hear you! Iā€™ve literally been having the exact same debate in my head for months. Kind of waiting to see how the 2020 type r is too. But Veloster N PPs have been popping up for $25k new. Itā€™s nuts. Theyā€™re great cars. An s2000 and a cheap reliable daily wouldnā€™t be a bad option either, and you wouldnā€™t be losing money on depreciation. You can still find decent s2ks for mid teens. Iā€™m selling my BRZ right now and the two cars Iā€™d replace it with would be an S2000 or NC2 Miata. And then thereā€™s also something to be said about just having one car that can do it all. There are bound to be some excellent deals this next year. Also doing nothing and waiting is fine too lol.
    1
  3840. The Wrangler also opens to the right, but that's a good question - maybe more convenient for the driver?
    1
  3841. I might have gotten lucky, but Iā€™m sure others will pop up or are already out there. I found this 4.3 on eBay for $650 shipped, it was off a 2017 BRZ with 760 miles on it that was in a front end collision.
    1
  3842. Lol theyā€™re synonyms and totally interchangeable
    1
  3843. Itā€™s great, thereā€™s a ton of adjustability in the seat and the wheel
    1
  3844. Picked up a wireless CarPlay adaptor on Amazon šŸ‘
    1
  3845. Clear Auto Bra Michigan - Larry in Plymouth does an awesome job
    1
  3846. So far so good, but it havenā€™t seen the worst of it yet from March-May
    1
  3847. There is no such thing
    1
  3848. Pros and cons to both, I prefer the gr86 interior for some reason. Throttle response difference isnā€™t noticeable imo. You can program the yellow warning light on the tach in the BRZ too, just got to enable the shift light in settings.
    1
  3849. šŸ˜„
    1
  3850. Oh yeah, you donā€™t have to install the app. It requires you to scan the QR code/type in the pin on the Pedal Commander too.
    1
  3851. I'd just check seller ratings on eBay, and go from there!
    1
  3852. Haha, never
    1
  3853. Itā€™s about to get really bad, this next week is the tipping point. Everyone is staying home, which is good! Taking it day by day at this point,
    1
  3854. The JBL is good. Never been too impressed with Boseā€™s in-car systems. Iā€™d prefer the JBL honestly šŸ‘
    1
  3855. New car is way quicker! I have a buddy with the same setup as my old BRZ. Hoping we can do a few pulls against each other at M1 concourse
    1
  3856. Civic Si is coming soon too šŸ‘€
    1
  3857. I donā€™t, sold it to a good friend!
    1
  3858. Safety, handling, & new car amenities all steered me to the BRZ. S2000 is still one of the all-time greats though. Maybe someday I'll find a good one!
    1
  3859. I missed having a white car after my 2010 GTI, so visible at night too!
    1
  3860. 17s wouldnā€™t fit over the type r brakes, otherwise Iā€™d take as much sidewall as I could!
    1
  3861. Tedward saved me $40k!
    1
  3862. Thatā€™s exactly what it is https://www.power-sonic.com/dc-fast-chargers/
    1
  3863. Durango šŸ‘
    1
  3864. I had the first gen Cross Climates on my Volvo 850R but didnā€™t drive them too much in the snow. Probably a pretty solid option too, not as good as a dedicated winter but itā€™ll probably get you through the seasons without having to swap tires.
    1
  3865. Nice! Hesalite
    1
  3866. A little more fun and lively than the brz, but Iā€™m not sure enough so to sway me away. I love the practicality of the brz, and with a few mods it is 95% of the way there in terms of enjoyment
    1
  3867. 5'11
    1
  3868. It got ripped off in the car wash :/
    1
  3869. Yes, these are LT tires
    1
  3870. You should be just fine. The stock exhaust is really quiet
    1
  3871. Yeah I donā€™t think itā€™d be worth the trade and the loss youā€™d take. The CX-5 is awesome in any trim, but the turbo isnā€™t necessarily more fun or a better vehicle. Itā€™s just quicker for that 10% of the time when you want it.
    1
  3872. I had it on Off-road mode, 100% braking
    1
  3873. https://youtu.be/Dg0_XyXgvjQ
    1
  3874. Sold it a couple years ago
    1
  3875. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/amp33237440/2020-bmw-m8-competition-by-the-numbers/
    1
  3876. heyo
    1
  3877. Yep, thatā€™s the list!
    1
  3878. It doesnā€™t do anything for rev hang unfortunately
    1
  3879. Krown Rust Control! And try your best to find one without a lot of underneath corrosion, itā€™s tough in the rust belt
    1
  3880. oh ya!!
    1
  3881. Yeah Iā€™ll film something here soon. Just had plugs done at 60k, otherwise still enjoying it!
    1
  3882. I had quotes for almost $800 from dealers, would definitely recommend shopping around. Married life is awesome, very similar to engaged life! Lol
    1
  3883. Haha no, but Iā€™m not surprised šŸ˜‚
    1
  3884. Once we get some snow Iā€™ll film it! Fuel economy usually drops from ~32-33mpg combined to 28-29mpg combined in the winter though that was with the 20ā€ wheels last year, 18s should be slightly better.
    1
  3885. Lol people are strange!
    1
  3886. Once we get some snow, definitely!
    1
  3887. Cup 2s will go on when it warms up!
    1
  3888. It was filthy
    1
  3889. If the seats in your land cruiser bother you, the LX is a big step up in comfort. I had trouble with the LC seats too (I assume they havenā€™t really changed since 09). Also the GX seats are really good too if youā€™re willing to downsize a bit. In the LX and GX I felt like you could burn a tank of gas before youā€™d need to get out and stretch. Didnā€™t get that from the LC when I took it from Detroit to Pittsburgh...
    1
  3890. Haha those were Toyota engineers having fun with a Lemons car and a newer Camry. Lemons car was pretty well setup, the newer XSE kept overheating its trans
    1
  3891. Yeah, this pretty much replaced the BRZ
    1
  3892. Yep, first thing I did when I brought it home from the dealer šŸ˜‚
    1
  3893. Maybe in a few years! That'd be amazing
    1
  3894. Not sure yet, only drove the Type R at Sonoma - I'll let you know in the spring!
    1
  3895. Theyā€™re interchangeable, mean the exact same thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_flat-six_engine
    1
  3896. They are but with different pads
    1
  3897. Ā @Kiss__KissĀ  Electric power/hybrids are weird with traction control!
    1
  3898. Yep šŸ‘
    1
  3899. $100 or so for an AMS anti wind buffeting trim piece and youā€™re good to go
    1
  3900. Thatā€™s it, Iā€™m building a chicken coupĆ©! Those little egg layers deserve the best.
    1
  3901. Can't wait! It should be pretty capable with this year's winter setup.
    1
  3902. Genesis G90
    1
  3903. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_recording
    1
  3904. In the ND1 thereā€™s a ton of lift-off oversteer at low (roundabout) speeds
    1
  3905. It's the one thing I remember from the week in the car, it hurts your ears!
    1
  3906. Floppy cardboard is no match for the Grand Wagoneer!
    1
  3907. Nope, itā€™s been solid.
    1
  3908. From the manufacturer for testing
    1
  3909. 5ā€™10
    1
  3910. So much fun, expect more of this in the future!
    1
  3911. Youā€™re right about the earth dreams engines not having VTEC anymore, however in the Type Rā€™s engine there is VTEC on the exhaust cam, just not the intake side because it has a turbocharger.
    1
  3912. Definitely
    1
  3913. That race car tire whine!!
    1
  3914. Weā€™ll see šŸ˜Ž right now really happy with the stock suspension
    1
  3915. The MSX was the 84v šŸ‘ and yeah, itā€™s pretty impressive how well it performs. Without lean pads they feel pretty similar, but once you can get the power out of the MSP itā€™s something else
    1
  3916. Autozone special, $4 fisheye lens
    1
  3917. Oh there is no tcs or vsc button!
    1
  3918. Any Miata will have one of the sweetest manuals you can buy but this GT3 is just about driving perfection. My order would be GT3, Miata, Type R, BRZ, Challenger SRT, GT350, Veloster N, GTI
    1
  3919. E Load Range
    1
  3920. In comfort, the previous gen Type R actually rides better than this Si imo - those adaptive dampers do wonders on the Type R. Swap out the 20s for a set of 18s and you're set.
    1
  3921. Dang, what a road!
    1
  3922. thanks everyone! I enjoyed making it :D
    1
  3923. hahahah, so true!
    1
  3924. Ford Transit Racing Van!
    1
  3925. Not yet, but I will with the first trans fluid change.
    1
  3926. That's good to hear, finally!
    1
  3927. šŸ˜¬ yikes
    1
  3928. Congrats!! Iā€™d highly recommend the ITS damper module šŸ‘
    1
  3929. Oh yeah, much quicker!
    1
  3930. I know, I hate the track gauge cluster. I don't even look at it anymore, just shift based on what I hear and if the yellow light comes on lol
    1
  3931. Silver lake sand dunes in Michigan!

    1
  3933. yep! I think it was the first thing I did to the car
    1
  3934. Cars
    1
  3935. Iā€™d have a GX over the LX for sure
    1
  3936. Agreed, the paintwork on the hood is pretty bad, done with the previous owner. The camera exaggerates it, so it doesnā€™t look as obvious irl. That would be the first candidate for a repaint at some point. Need to put some more miles on it but it seems like after changing the PCV valve there isnā€™t as much oil burn-off and smell after hard driving šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø just going to keep enjoying it and checking oil regularly
    1
  3937. Still debating this, taking the ipd turboback off and replacing it with the stick exhaust robbed a noticeable amount of power. So maybe Iā€™ll tune it in the spring šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    1
  3938. Yes šŸ‘
    1
  3939. Comparing them stock to stock youā€™re not going to notice much. But once you add power pads, boom!
    1
  3940. All up to your right foot
    1
  3941. Yeah I had to trim it
    1
  3942. Hat clip mount with a hero 8 is the trick! Check out Tedwardā€™s video on the angle: https://youtu.be/9EEWH6zf46M
    1
  3943. The air suspension is a little smoother in comfort mode and handles better in sport, but theyā€™re not far off from each other to be honest.
    1
  3944. I bought a previous gen torklift/eco hitch on eBay, I hear it needs a bit of massaging to fit but will report back once I get it installed
    1
  3945. Yes
    1
  3946. Yes, by quite a bit
    1
  3947. I've been jealous since 2017!

  3950. Substitute Toph leaving them on unread.
    1
  3951. Totally spaced. Itā€™s going live tomorrow!

  3957. Oh man the Mazda 3 Turbo is still amazing. We have one this week to test, itā€™s such a good daily. Can always add a Miata or gr86 someday!
    1
  3958. Stupid good weather
    1
  3959. I read this as ā€œdriving right into one of these.ā€ Lol
    1
  3960. Milo Ligtelijn just a bit slippy
    1
  3961. I believe theyā€™re the HO Cup2s. Came from Honda

  3963. Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the videos - we love making them!

  3966. it doesn't hold water. so who knows?
    1
  3967. Lol it really does
    1
  3968. Good eye! Also a bulb in the passenger tail lamp is out and bugs me every day- can those be replaced individually?
    1
  3969. @randy25rhoads Thanks! I hear this is the last year it'll have a dirt section too, bummer.
    1
  3970. Pricy! But...Iā€™ve heard that this Durango SRT doesnā€™t have the tire wear issues the Cherokee SRT does. Could get 20,000 miles or more out of a set, which for something like this is pretty good.
    1
  3971. Itā€™d have to be an AP1, setup exactly like yours.

  3972. Hey Jake, all our previous livestreams are available in the channel memberā€™s video section šŸ‘
    1
  3973. Ooo!
    1
  3974. Ariiiiiiiiii
    1
  3975. Baby duna, and yes!
    1
  3976. What? mawp....mawp...mawp
    1
  3977. Theyā€™re $2 rotating fisheye mirrors I picked up at the local auto parts store. They solve all the visibility issues!
    1
  3978. Definitely, hit me up @thetopher2 on instagram if youā€™re in the metro Detroit area!

  3979. https://forscan.org/download.html
    1
  3980. Same
    1
  3981. Hahah yes it is. Thereā€™s also a water to oil cooler / heater sandwich plate in there. Runs coolant around the oil filter area to reduce the temp delta between oil and coolant temp.
    1
  3982. Love it! More everything
    1
  3983. Thank you!!

  3985. jwrx7tt01 itā€™s a better-matched tire width for the 7.5ā€ wide wheel and the overall setup of the car right now. Contrary to popular opinion, wider isnā€™t always better especially when taking into account concentration of force and how that relates to grip on a contact patch. Thereā€™s also other things to factor in like rolling resistance on the straights and scrub radius. In the end, i decided sticking with the originally engineered size was the best way to go and Iā€™m very happy I did so. Of all the tire sizes Iā€™ve run on the car the 215/45/17 has always been the most fun and my favorite to drive on. šŸ‘
    1
  3986. Lgt4Gsd yeah I never really liked gear indicators, itā€™s always telling me when to upshift, etc. one less distraction imo
    1
  3987. Same!
    1
  3988. It works like this: take girl out on date, do handbrake turn, sheā€™s wildly impressed. Then get married to your dream girl and life goes way better than it wouldā€™ve without a handbrake. This is all I know.
    1
  3989. Working on it! I can tell you that the 2020 type r still overheats on shorter tracks with the updates, which is predictable considering what honda did (or didnā€™t do)...and thatā€™s unfortunately a deal breaker for me. Canā€™t say much else until we get our hands on one!
    1
  3990. Agh, connection issues were super annoying and we ran out of time for at home live streams. Might try to do some more on YouTube this summer
    1
  3991. Mazda really stepped up their interiors!
    1
  3992. I just uploaded another video of the same test mule on the highway, check it out!
    1
  3993. GR86 and BRZ have different gauge clusters! Itā€™s kind of nice how the Toyota shows actual oil temp in units instead of a bar graph though.
    1
  3994. There's a module you unplug on the passenger side of the dash, super easy to get to - lots of videos on how to do it.
    1
  3995. Iā€™ve always been interested in that, might check it out!
    1
  3996. Now this is a proper Jaaag!
    1
  3997. Yeah, something different!
    1
  3998. Still rides great and very quiet. Curious to see how theyā€™ll do in snow and ice!
    1
  3999. The MK6 is great, really enjoyed mine!
    1
  4000. Thereā€™s surprisingly little rust underneath, it was garaged itā€™s whole life. Iā€™m taking it to Krown every fall, thatā€™ll keep it at bay.
    1
  4001. Weight savings
    1
  4002. They just left it in the box, I'll play around with it some this week to see what I can view/change.
    1
  4003. Igor was a G
    1
  4004. I have!
    1
  4005. I usually stick with redline for trans but honestly was pretty happy with how the oe fluid felt/shifted. For diff I use motul gear 300 but itā€™s getting tricky to find these days.
    1
  4006. Iā€™d recommend the hybrid 100% over the TRD!
    1
  4007. The new Hero 11 is awesome
    1
  4008. Canā€™t go wrong with a WRX!
    1
  4009. Yeah had to cut that out!
    1
  4010. @Pajapajin Thanks! Yep, stock exhaust and the transmission mount insert makes things louder in the Cabin. One of my favorite mods!
    1
  4011. Itā€™s very effective at keeping your car rust free. Itā€™s not effective at keeping the underside clean. That said, dirt trapped w/the oil coating will act more as a barrier than a trap for moisture.
    1
  4012. Unpopular opinion: I think supercars are overrated. Iā€™d rather drive something I donā€™t have to worry as much about. Iā€™ve been relieved to hand back the keys to every supercar Iā€™ve driven for that reason lol. The only exception Iā€™ll make is a 997.2 GT3!
    1
  4013. I got you covered! Rev-Matching + Heel and Toe Downshifting - POV Tutorial https://youtu.be/_hQZpJXsRnw
    1
  4014. Yeah, I unplugged the active sound module in the dash.
    1
  4015. I mean it wouldnā€™t hurt but Iā€™d argue with an oem exhaust, muffled axle back and a catted header youā€™re not changing enough to where the ecu couldnā€™t figure it out and adjust accordingly. The throttle response and extra torque low and mid are the big wins, not to mention sound šŸ‘
    1
  4016. Itā€™s not too bad once it dries out after a couple months. Iā€™d take getting my hands a bit dirty over fighting rust and corrosion any day.
    1
  4017. Not until they develop some that make more power!
    1
  4018. I mean, the new Integra starts at $32k, fully loaded about 38k. Back in 1997 the Integra Type R was $25k, which today is $47k. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    1
  4019. I've gone back and forth on it, ultimately I found myself disabling it and just using old school cruise. My problem with it is I constantly feel like the car is braking too much and holding up drivers behind me (making them want to pass) while following traffic up front. In traffic, it's easier to just take over myself.
    1
  4020. That would be a video of me calling an electrician haha
    1
  4021. X3 M40i is the jam. It's really hard to beat, congrats!
    1
  4022. Agreed! And I think the car was even too stiff on Sonoma with cup tires... And yep, there's a Supra review coming too from this trip
    1
  4023. šŸ¦€
    1
  4024. It was about a month ago! We were there Feb 27-March 5
    1
  4025. So far so good, no issues. But I havenā€™t put a ton of miles on it since I got the MSX
    1
  4026. Yes
    1
  4027. Itā€™ll do 20 mph easily
    1
  4028. Nope, gotta get the Toyota GR86 šŸ‘
    1
  4029. They look so small/out of place!
    1
  4030. Gunmetal TRD Sema wheels! Same as on the 4Runner TRD Pro
    1
  4031. Totally
    1
  4032. Itā€™s discontinued unfortunately, but just fits in the CD slot
    1
  4033. Iā€™ve heard good things, will try to get a loan on one šŸ‘
    1
  4034. Haven't researched it too much, but probably Quaife
    1
  4035. Need to drive it more! Next week itā€™ll be back in the garage instead of storage
    1
  4036. Yeah Iā€™ll be taking it to krown rust proofing here soon, definitely worth it!
    1
  4037. Wasnā€™t mine! Otherwise I would šŸ˜„
    1
  4038. Depends on how much your first gen is worth šŸ˜‚ right now some of the refresh cars are more than the 2022s! I think if you have a 2013-2016 Iā€™d consider upgrading more than a 2017 or 2018+. Everything is mostly the same but with more power. If you always felt that the car could use another 30-40hp, then this is it
    1
  4039. If you have it enabled, that shift light should work in all of the drive/gauge modes.
    1
  4040. @lovesara850 Yeah, it was incredible to see in person. It really goes too, as you can see from the video, I was speechless!
    1
  4041. WRX Wilderness!
    1
  4042. Primacy is a summer tire and Pilot Sport all season 4 isā€¦an all season. Thatā€™s why!
    1
  4043. Thanks! Took a bit of digging but it's the Seiko Prospex Solar Tuna 200m SNE543P1
    1
  4044. Yeah hopefully this 2.4 wonā€™t have as many issues
    1
  4045. Kline
    1
  4046. Yeah, I was being extra careful! Haha
    1
  4047. Stock suspension with the ADF 1.5ā€ BRZ lift šŸ‘
    1
  4048. GoPro hero12!
    1
  4049. Just good old Honda MTF
    1
  4050. Cars.
    1
  4051. Everything was off!
    1
  4052. Off the top of my head - Tesla, BMW and Hyundai are doing a pretty good job
    1
  4053. It's true. That and the 4Runner are coming
    1
  4054. Definitely gonna need more eyeballs šŸ‘€šŸ˜‚
    1
  4055. Agh, thatā€™s a bummer...buy my 96! thetopher2 on Instagram
    1
  4056. Only off by 1-2mph
    1
  4057. Oh yeah, I think so! Sounds better with some more tone
    1
  4058. Ran out of talent
    1
  4059. Itā€™s definitely risky. Iā€™d have wheel/tire insurance or a downsized setup for winter/spring
    1
  4060. Word on the street is you can disable that somewhere in the menu - will confirm in a week or two!
    1
  4061. Link in the description šŸ‘
    1
  4062. https://youtu.be/utHbfw1OOVk 6:30 here I fold one side down
    1
  4063. Oooo, good to know!
    1
  4064. This momo start seat is actually really comfortable. I drive it without a bottom cushion but with a back cushion. Taken it on 3-4 hour drives without issue.
    1
  4065. Yes
    1
  4066. Yeah, the procal tune has its own 3yr 36k mile warranty and beyond that your manufacturer or extended warranty still applies. If you had a powertrain issue beyond the tune warranty it would depend on how Ford interpreted the problem and if they think the tune caused an issue. A little bit of warmth from the screen is normal, if everything seems to operate ok I wouldnā€™t worry about it šŸ‘ enjoy the truck, and congrats!
    1
  4067. Thanks, editing that bit out! I'm so used to saying twin-turbo from the N54 that I still mess it up.
    1
  4068. https://youtu.be/9EEWH6zf46M?si=JK6FxsNV5Iv7782v
    1
  4069. Pretty much the case with all new drive by wire throttles unfortunately. Gotta build up that tibialis anterior strength!
    1
  4070. @S2kerik
    1
  4071. I donā€™t, never heard them - but had some on this tS we tested this week. Not sure why šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    1
  4072. Just plug the fuse back in and start it up
    1
  4073. Thanks! I use a Sony FDR-X3000 4K Action Camera http://amzn.to/2s53Bna -Audio recorded with Roland CS-10EM Binaural Mics http://amzn.to/2qKRbwA -Zoom H2n recorder http://amzn.to/2pQqVkq The Sony is mounted upside down onto a Hat Clip: https://amzn.to/2GW7nmd
    1
  4074. Probably not, but another module from the FK8 Type R would. Lots of FK8 owners swapped in different modules for different suspension settings. The LE module was pretty desirable
    1
  4075. Sold for $8901 a few months ago šŸ‘
    1
  4076. What size did you go with?
    1
  4077. Craig Reustle lol it was time to burn them off
    1
  4078. You can diy it yourself with Krown in a can or if you can find any alternatives that spray thinner oil-based coatings you can't go wrong.
    1
  4079. Weā€™re on the list! Itā€™s a long list, but weā€™ll probably get into one by springtime
    1
  4080. Working on it! Definitely within the next month or two
    1
  4081. Yep, young breezy is gone
    1
  4082. Ohh!!! That makes sense hah
    1
  4083. I had to add some adhesive felt too, gets it nice and tight in there! And yep, thatā€™s definitely key to either run caseless or with a magnetic case.
    1
  4084. Itā€™s a bit softer than the Si now
    1
  4085. Itā€™s a lot closer than I would have thought!
    1
  4086. Go pro j hook mount and a couple extensions right on the forehead area of the helmet does the trick šŸ‘
    1
  4087. 162k!
    1
  4088. Havenā€™t had any rev hang issues, itā€™s about the same as the last BRZ.
    1
  4089. Forced induction. For a naturally aspirated engine 95hp per liter is damn impressive on the new 86/BRZ.
    1
  4090. Waze
    1
  4091. Iā€™m sure you could swap a new type r module into a type s
    1
  4092. Thatā€™s just install. I paid $663 for the tune from Lethal
    1
  4093. Just learned that, good to know - I'll sell the stop/start eliminator once I get it tuned.
    1
  4094. Always switched back to 2H when on dry pavement
    1
  4095. ā€œHello, Josh - youā€™re on YouTube! This is your moment.ā€
    1
  4096. So weird, I can't see that lasting too much longer. Great time to sell!
    1
  4097. Yep, itā€™s the 2013-2020 kit, no differences - it bolts right up šŸ‘
    1
  4098. Mack Garage in Detroit!
    1
  4099. Yeszir!
    1
  4100. Maybe in a few years Iā€™ll want to pair down a bit. Weā€™ll see!
    1
  4101. Also big thanks to Jeff and Marc for their help with the testing and gathering data in the video!
    1
  4102. Such a good weekend!
    1
  4103. Will report on towing here soon but Iā€™ve heard good things!
    1
  4104. 2012!
    1
  4105. That was Tedward - I think he misses the fuel economy
    1
  4106. Did you clean your room?
    1
  4107. Nailed it, great advice!
    1
  4108. Under the oil filter is the factory oil to water oil cooler/heat exchanger. It brings oil up to temp faster when cold and cools it down quicker when hot.
    1
  4109. mph
    1
  4110. There are definitely quieter setups out there, but for the performance pretty glad with the noise level on the hwy
    1
  4111. Sure!
    1
  4112. @nelson4568 The gti handles really well. No understeer, crisp and responsive. It's a very neutral car, especially for a fwd. However for pure unadulterated fun, the miata is it. The gti is an awesome car, it out handles all the cars in it's class and it does all this while behind practical and efficient. It depends what you're looking for. Gluck
    1
  4113. Iā€™ll just do the open flash tablet off the shelf tune, run it for the first track day and a few months in the summer. There are a couple stations near my house and Gingerman, so should be in pretty good shape.
    1
  4114. Unless there's a press car on winter tires here in MI I doubt I'll be able to until the spring. We'll see though, I'm looking forward to driving one
    1
  4115. Almost 59k, itā€™s about due for plugs and coils
    1
  4116. haha, 9 months laterr
    1
  4117. I have one in right now!
    1
  4118. Iā€™ll give it a shot but, I had issues with it pretty much right off the dealerā€™s lot. Ever since disabling the navigation itā€™s been flawless
    1
  4119. Yeah, I can't sell the 850R. Not worth it!
    1
  4120. Everything here is 100% factory
    1
  4121. Spare is from a 2013-2020 BRZ/FR-S/86
    1
  4122. I needed a back seat, and the BRZ was $29k new! Iā€™ll get a Miata again someday. Maybe the NE?
    1
  4123. Same here, so much potential!
    1
  4124. Ahh, good to know
    1
  4125. Iā€™m going for a record!
    1
  4126. In the US itā€™s the passing lane šŸ˜‚
    1
  4127. It was an option, but most people didnā€™t fit šŸ˜‚
    1
  4128. In my experience with gap adjustment it wonā€™t change the speed of the car with cruise control set at all. If youā€™re going 70 and pull up to a car going 60, it wonā€™t slow down like it will with ACC. To my understanding gap adjust without the optional acc only adjusts the collision warning distance.
    1
  4129. Those are Subaru oem!
    1
  4130. Been waiting for that one!!
    1
  4131. Iā€™m not sure why, but I initially read that as ā€œI used to deliver dolphinsā€
    1
  4132. I was surprised at how light the M5 Comp was - especially after driving an RS6 the week before that was just shy of 5,000lbs lol
    1
  4133. https://www.youtube.com/user/windingroadmagazine
    1
  4134. Yes, but no one in the passenger seat
    1
  4135. Long term you should run premium. An occasional tank of regular wonā€™t hurt it if youā€™re in a remote area or just feeling extra poor like I was a couple weeks ago šŸ˜‚
    1
  4136. yeah, they're hard to keep going. I've had about 5 in the last 2 years. They seem to be sensitive to water changes. I'm feeding this one lots of lettuce and frog tablets, instead of jiust letting it eat algae and flakes. It should get huge, like the size of my fist.
    1
  4137. Haha not yet
    1
  4138. Haha theyā€™re practically regular traffic here at this point. So many development cars on the road!

    1
  4143. Removing the clutch pedal helper spring fixed all of my clutch feel woes! Iā€™d highly recommend it. Makes the weight just right and gives a lot more clutch feel for smoothers/more accurate shifts.
    1
  4144. Funny story - our next door neighbor didnā€™t even know we had a generator because all the other generators were drowning out the little Honda šŸ˜‚

  4155. I was getting bad rock chips on the rear quarter panels driving offroad, so decided the extra protection was worth it.
    1
  4156. It'd be perfect for that. Depends, are we talking San Francisco steep, or just a gradual hill? There's a new more powerful inmotion v10 that just came out (doing a review this week on it) that can handle some pretty steep hills, but that said you probably shouldn't have a problem with other options.
    1
  4157. I struggled a bit with my MK6, gotta work on that foot mobility šŸ˜„

    1
  4160. oh yeah, and turn the volume up!

    1
  4175. It is a bit of a head scratcher since it didnā€™t come charged and there are mostly Tesla chargers on the island. These arenā€™t cheap either.
    1
  4176. Itā€™s especially weird because the car is more than loud enough and sounds pretty good without it. Itā€™s as if they spent considerable time tuning the induction and exhaust on the new car and then went ahead and played speaker noise all over it. At least it only takes 30 seconds to unplug.
    1
  4177. Yeah, sorry. - fixed it after this video

    1
  4188. Hahah he was just in my wedding. Still riding! Heā€™s out on a KS18XL out in Maui right now.

  4189. Car tunes šŸ‘

  4190. Sploosh.
    1
  4191. For me at 5ā€™10 itā€™s perfect. Rear facing doona seat just fits behind me and forward facing toddler has just enough room in the back šŸ‘
    1
  4192. Speedmaster all the way!
    1
  4193. Definitely
    1
  4194. Theyā€™re all so fun, NC1 is awesome value
    1
  4195. If youā€™re going really big, 34ā€ plus I would but 33s and under should be ok
    1
  4196. Nope, 3 drain and fills later it feels great. Not sure if it was changed before or how often
    1
  4197. It makes all the right V8 noises!
    1
  4198. Theyā€™re terrible
    1
  4199. Not really, body roll feels about the same tbh - just stiffer with less ride comfort.
    1
  4200. Itā€™s a lot quieter in the newer models
    1
  4201. Hahah I know right šŸ˜‚
    1
  4202. Yep, I said that in the video
    1
  4203. Yeah, that's next on the list!
    1
  4204. This is it!
    1
  4205. Stock with the 44mm UK Mod/muffler bypass
    1
  4206. Unfortunately, Honda hasn't had the HR-V in their fleets for a while, they may bring it back with a refresh or update - but until then there are a couple videos on the WR channel
    1
  4207. With the front nose lift, no problem!
    1
  4208. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
    1
  4209. True. Itā€™s also a crime to keep this car at high speeds!
    1
  4210. Iā€™m 5ā€™10, 6ā€™2 might be pushing it, in the NC youā€™d be able to fit a lot better
    1
  4211. Yep, i7 and new 7 series - thatā€™s about it

  4214. I found it to be pretty negligible, 1mph or so ~70 mph, thought itā€™d be more after running 265/40r18s on the Braid wheels
    1
  4215. šŸ˜‚oh Dan. Dan was not having a good day. Probably something about Brexit. Itā€™s tearing families apart!
    1
  4216. Gotta love some celebratory snownuts!
    1
  4217. Itā€™s pretty loud
    1
  4218. So many carplay connections
    1
  4219. Little bit of measuring and eyeballing mixed with some forum searching šŸ‘
    1
  4220. You just cycle the car off and then on again, not sure if you can just hit the traction button and turn everything back on or notā€¦
    1
  4221. Drill all the holes! Theyā€™re tiny and itā€™s worth it as part of the process.
    1
  4222. Damn, thatā€™s a shame. Iā€™ve heard some positive experiences but also a lot of complaints. Theyā€™ve got to step it up.
    1
  4223. Theyā€™ve been good so far, about 1500 miles in šŸ‘
    1
  4224. Iā€™m not sure, it was from the local stereo installer and tbh wouldnā€™t recommend it. Wasnā€™t wide angle enough.
    1
  4225. A low mile AP2 is the way to go for reliability
    1
  4226. Oh thatā€™s a good idea, will try it
    1
  4227. One of the best mods, highly recommend them!

  4229. Also, Kona N! Haha love that thing
    1
  4230. Thereā€™s a convertible
    1
  4231. A good amount of interest but no takers yet!
    1
  4232. It does, just comes and goes
    1
  4233. My first thought exactly lol
    1
  4234. Sweet! Iā€™m thinking itā€™d be fun to just be able to charge at rougher terrain without having to wince every time.
    1
  4235. That's the most compelling part for me, our roads here in MI are getting really bad. After you installed them were you able to keep the rear toe within alignment spec? The springs are in my cart...wondering if I should swing for adjustable RLCAs too.
    1
  4236. Camaro SS 1LE šŸ‘
    1
  4237. Theyā€™re winter wheels
    1
  4238. On the Type R itā€™s a kit from the FK8, on the BRZ itā€™s just a previous gen BRZ/86 spare wheel/tire bolted in.
    1
  4239. Ā @michaelhirsh1827Ā  The FK8 kit is probably the best way to go right now, you can just order it at your local dealer for around $230, then the tire is sold separately, about $160 installed.
    1
  4240. Agreed! And then when it finally does work it takes 20 seconds for it to register and start up.
    1
  4241. Yes, 4H is a 50/50 torque split to the front and rear axles, locking the center differential (offroad only). 4a sends power to the front as needed and can be used on the street. 4a drives pretty normally with all the traction youā€™d need in most scenarios where as 4H limits turning at low speeds because the center diff is locked
    1
  4242. They squashed 'em pretty early on in the last gen
    1
  4243. šŸ˜‚
    1
  4244. I took it there earlier this year! Super fun track imo, but that bump right before the front straightaway is brutal. I heard they just repaved it, so very curious to drive it next season.
    1
  4245. Miatas are killer in the snow! They have decent ground clearance, too
    1
  4246. Absolutely, comfort mode is...comfortable.
    1
  4247. Seasucker
    1
  4248. That is also an excellent option.
    1
  4249. In the description!
    1
  4250. šŸ˜‚I also canā€™t find these $50k Edge STs, theyā€™re all low to mid 40ā€™s
    1
  4251. Sounds like a GX 460 is a pretty good buy until they get it figured out!
    1
  4252. Yeah that was weird. Noticed it between 3-4 on entrance ramps, couldā€™ve been my speed.
    1
  4253. I did, gives a little more weight to the clutch pedal. But honestly the factory spring in the new car is all right. Definitely prefer it or the MTEC to removing the spring.
    1
  4254. Stelvio video coming soon!
    1
  4255. I have been, theyā€™re great. Iā€™d consider running them all summer long and just swapping to the stock wheels/tires for road trips. We havenā€™t had much rain, so Iā€™m hoping to test them in the wet before temps drop.
    1
  4256. Oh yeah, youā€™ll be fine
    1
  4257. There are some crazy deals to be had right now! Also a pretty good time to put money into the market while things are low. In 10 years I could get a GT3 šŸ˜„
    1
  4258. Hope itā€™s not too bad to get fixed!

  4260. Thank you!
    1
  4261. Big time.
    1
  4262. I'm aware of this. It's the north side, it doesn't get any sun.
    1
  4263. Nope, windows stay closed
    1
  4264. 5ā€™10
    1
  4265. With the mild winters weā€™ve been having lately these tires make a lot of sense too!
    1
  4266. Haha this one was free, but I paid to get the 4Runner done
    1
  4267. Hahah it was inevitable, really. We don't have hills here in MI - I just prefer fewer electronic aids tbh, but I could see how it'd be very useful on the daily in a hilly area.
    1
  4268. I didnā€™t, ended up swapping a manual rack from an R package, loved it
    1
  4269. Oh ya
    1
  4270. Krown rust control šŸ‘ any thinner oil based coating will do the trick
    1
  4271. Get yo self a turbo kit brah.
    1
  4272. I took a Ranger raptor
    1
  4273. Keep an eye out for me at the Zingermanā€™s cars and coffee!
    1
  4274. Iā€™m not complaining, the BRZ is refreshingly pure and worry-free!
    1
  4275. stock is 5.1" lift is 1.5", so should be either 6.6" or 7.1" depending on the tire setup (7.1 with larger diameter winters/all-terrains)
    1
  4276. Quite a few roof panel rattles too, hope Ford works on that. Luckily theyā€™re all removable!
    1
  4277. We have some touchless car washes locally that have an undercarriage wash. But with the coating you donā€™t want to do it too often. Like you said in the spring is ideal šŸ‘
    1
  4278. šŸ˜ˆ
    1
  4279. I am! it's been great
    1
  4280. Thanks, just got a hero 11! Rest of the info is in the description šŸ‘
    1
  4281. I need rear seats!
    1
  4282. Yes
    1
  4283. If I can get my hands on one!
    1
  4284. I was worried it'd suck some of the fun out of the car, but it's made it so much better and more enjoyable to drive. It's nuts now (once the tires warm up) lol. It's begging for 250whp though...but as it sits now it's a blast.
    1
  4285. We donā€™t have many hills here in Michigan so I canā€™t say for sure!
    1
  4286. Gimballin!
    1
  4287. Yeah itā€™s been a few weeks since Iā€™ve driven it!
    1
  4288. Cars
    1
  4289. Iā€™m hoping this is just a preproduction car with all the bugs that will be worked out once it hits US shores.
    1
  4290. Holy crap, you're right! Took a bunch out, I forgot to delete some of the ones YT placed automatically in this one.
    1
  4291. He was working, was hoping we could get out together!
    1
  4292. šŸ˜‚so true!
    1
  4293. So good
    1
  4294. Havenā€™t decided yet! Gotta send an order into tire rack soon ;) going to try an oversized 205/55R17 though for more ground clearance and sidewall
    1
  4295. It's around 26 lbs
    1
  4296. Tedward I still want one of these.
    1
  4297. Just ordered the PRL, Iā€™ll install it in a couple weeks šŸ‘
    1
  4298. Itā€™s true!
    1
  4299. Ope, forgot to remove that. Definitely making payments on this
    1
  4300. Man, I used to drool over RX8s at the dealer back in the day. Never drove one, need to change that!
    1
  4301. Light and springy, pretty easy to drive plenty of torque
    1
  4302. The new corolla hatch 6mt is fantastic, thatā€™s at the top of my list
    1
  4303. GoPro hero 11 with an Amazon foam/wind cover. Thatā€™s it!
    1
  4304. It clearly says K backwards N! Lol
    1
  4305. Yeah, we did. with our money.
    1
  4306. Definitely, first thing Iā€™d do on a car with run-flats (if theyā€™re harsh and noisy).
    1
  4307. Coming soon, working through the backlog!
    1
  4308. Is not
    1
  4309. My sentiments exactly!
    1
  4310. Wee
    1
  4311. Coming soon!
    1
  4312. Local shop here in Michigan
    1
  4313. They all do!
    1
  4314. I was a little nervous about it, it took a few days longer than expected but overall was a very smooth and easy process. Would recommend, especially for the prices they're paying!
    1
  4315. Sweeeeet! Congrats Jakub. Send it to the dunes here in Michigan!
    1
  4316. Bite point is pretty low, and clutch travel is short. Still easy to drive though imo
    1
  4317. Nah, I prefer the look of these and you get a much better approach angle
    1
  4318. Yeah they do, hopefully Toyotaā€™s larger stake will bring some of that over to Subaru šŸ‘
    1
  4319. Had great luck in Ohio finding dealers with little to no markups.
    1

  4323. fixed the music. The original music playing on the radio was perfect, because that's the music he was ACTUALLY "dancing" to. However, it got removed because of copyright bs. oh well, I tried
    1
  4324. Tbh itā€™s probably the iPhoneā€™s camera bump that throws it off. Itā€™s just frustrating because in a lot of cars I test wireless charging works perfectly.
    1
  4325. Approximately 4. lol
    1
  4326. Part of that might be my gopro too, especially in the beginning of the video.
    1
  4327. 100%
    1
  4328. I think it looks good with the GR at the bottom.
    1
  4329. This is the sandwich OEM style water to oil cooler - not a great option for the track, honestly - but since I drive this year round with only a couple track days/season it's the best for my needs.
    1
  4330. Still not much steering feel. Itā€™s tighter and more responsive, but thatā€™s about it.
    1
  4331. Oh ya! Traction is amazing, super quiet
    1
  4332. Equipment in the description!
    1
  4333. Honestly didnā€™t spend enough time with it, these were just first impressions 20 mins behind the wheel
    1
  4334. Have you sat in one? My buddy George is 6ā€™3 and fits in his FR-S great. Youā€™d be surprised!
    1
  4335. Millions
    1
  4336. Two of the millions
    1
  4337. Thanks Randy! I've thought about it, that'd be fun.
    1
  4338. Itā€™s gotta be the cold temps, even from 45-70% it was doing the same thing all week.
    1
  4339. Hopefully they can sustain the car from hydroplaning into a tree but thatā€™s still cool, and I appreciate the thought šŸŒ±
    1
  4340. https://youtube.com/windingroadmagazine
    1
  4341. The 6 speakers arenā€™t amazing but theyā€™re an improvement over my 2014 for sure. The 8 speaker stereo is an improvement, thatā€™s one thing I wouldnā€™t mind upgrading someday
    1
  4342. Itā€™s just a rev-match downshift system
    1
  4343. They did, I let them do the full treatment!
    1
  4344. As a great all-round starter EUC, I would! The KS18XL and 16s are also really good
    1
  4345. Honda
    1
  4346. You can shut off adaptive cruise by holding the distance control button on the steering wheel. Lane keep assist is in the honda sensing settings menu in the gauge cluster
    1
  4347. With modern snow tires rwd is fantastic in the snow, stay with a skinny 205 wide tire and youā€™ll get through anything!
    1
  4348. Not in time for Race Wars?!?!?
    1
  4349. Blizzaks are the way to go!
    1
  4350. Plenty of manual cars out there with adaptive cruiseā€¦Jetta, GTI, all Civics
    1
  4351. Just 265/35r18 sizing
    1
  4352. This is a different bolt pattern than the regular civic hatch. Type r is 5x120, civic is 5x114.3 I believe, so this setup wonā€™t fit but another spare with the correct bolt pattern will
    1
  4353. Winter wheels
    1
  4354. Ascent has more interior space, but honestly if that really matters, get a minivan. The highlander hybrid drives awesome, Iā€™d 100% pick this
    1
  4355. M5 CS was amazing
    1
  4356. They bolted right up!
    1
  4357. It does not
    1
  4358. If Iā€™m doing a lot of tracking Iā€™ll switch to 5w30. This summer Iā€™ll probably only do 2-3 track days so I went with 0w20
    1
  4359. Keep an eye out on Winding Road's channel!
    1
  4360. Nope, do it up!
    1
  4361. We'll see how it goes, the rear windows are heavily tinted and the cab is much smaller than what it would be in an equivalent SUV or hatchback because of the bed...
    1
  4362. šŸ˜„ thatā€™s the one
    1
  4363. Just push the volume button in and hold!
    1
  4364. Yes šŸ‘
    1
  4365. Silver lake sand dunes in Michigan
    1
  4366. Absolutely šŸ‘
    1
  4367. Not quite...but itā€™s closer than ever. The new Corolla XSE is fantastic.
    1
  4368. It did!
    1
  4369. Yeah, just the regular size ones. better coverage than the ford ones šŸ‘
    1
  4370. Haha this is a walk in the park for a drummer!
    1
  4371. Yeah my old 95 850 NA 5-speed had the same rev-hang. this 850 R has a Stage 1 MTE/IPD tune. I'll probably finish up some more Stage 0 work and get this exhaust sorted and then have it re-tuned next spring to fix the rev-hang.
    1
  4372. Nah, Michigan seems like it'd be a terrible place to ride tbh. Daily Motor has those covered out in CA!
    1
  4373. Michigan!
    1
  4374. I've noticed that the climate control seems to be overly warm for the set temperature, but it's been too cold in MI to think about heat/warmth/etc
    1
  4375. Still a champ. A fun winter driving video is coming soon!
    1
  4376. It hasnā€™t had ANY issues except tire balance problems. But now itā€™s good. Iā€™ve been amazed, been such a great vehicle.
    1
  4377. Oh thatā€™s cool to hear theyā€™re making process. Personally, I donā€™t think Iā€™m wanting for any more power after adding the 4.3 diff, or better drivability with the throttle controller.
    1
  4378. That would be the comparison to do, but the GT isnā€™t out until late summer 21.
    1
  4379. yes! I'll post that tomorrow
    1
  4380. Youā€™ll be good, thatā€™s the stock 17ā€ size. Even a 225/45r17 wouldnā€™t throw off the speedometer
    1
  4381. Nailed it šŸ˜‚
    1
  4382. The tune is listed for $825 on the Ford Performance website, but a other retailers are selling for under $700. I've seen install costs on forums range from ~$150-$400 depending on the dealership.
    1
  4383. It does look really sharp in person. A few friends said the same thing
    1
  4384. Haha yeah you can turn that off
    1
  4385. Absolutely
    1
  4386. šŸ™Œ P80 ftw
    1
  4387. Canā€™t go wrong!
    1
  4388. Yep!
    1
  4389. Yep, just a suction cup flag mount. They sell them at most of the stores outside the park šŸ‘ and definitely, just air down to 15 psi and youā€™ll be in great shape.
    1
  4390. Honestly the only A/T I can recommend is the Firestone Destination X/T. Amazing winter traction, good ride and tread wear, and lightweight. Need to test some other options here soon. These KO3s ride pretty rough, noise is good, traction is fine in all scenarios, but not blown away by any aspect of the tire. It looks amazing, and is a good jack of all trades. But nothing revolutionary over the other options imo.
    1
  4391. Explosions
    1
  4392. The rwd Civic Type R is the Ariel Atom šŸ‘
    1
  4393. that's a good size tank, and probably would be good enough for life if you arrange it right. try to make use of as much climbing space and land space as possible. The tank I have right now is 4 ftx 2ft with sliding front glass doors, but it was very hard to find and pretty expensive too. You should be fine though with your size. g'luck!
    1
  4394. Aired down to 10-15 psi itā€™d be a champ. Itā€™s light so itā€™d float pretty easily
    1
  4395. I think they stopped doing otds a couple years ago
    1
  4396. It was plug and play for this ecu w/the euro R manual tune but tbh Iā€™d get a custom tune with Aaron, this was nice but itā€™s slow.
    1
  4397. Itā€™s when the car forces you from 1st gear into 4th under light throttle (for better fuel economy). Itā€™s been around since the 90s in Camaros, corvettes, vipers
    1
  4398. This is the black bay pro on a nato šŸ‘
    1
  4399. Stay tuned for the full review in the next couple weeks! You can check out all the latest self-balancing electric unicycles including this MSX on eWheels: http://bit.ly/2roCcsd
    1
  4400. Haha pretty much
    1
  4401. Truth
    1
  4402. These would work pretty well on stock wheels in 215/55R17 https://www.tirerack.com/tires/falken-wildpeak-a-t-trail
    1
  4403. Nah theyā€™re about the same.
    1
  4404. Yep
    1
  4405. Haha she is not unfortunately, struggled with a molt and didnā€™t make it a while back.
    1
  4406. Theyā€™re pretty resilient!
    1
  4407. Agreed, rally suspension on the GR Corolla would be perfection
    1
  4408. It's not ideal!
    1
  4409. Probably a bit, I'll adjust the tire diameter in forescan if I do go larger.

  4412. coming soon, stay tuned!!

  4413. Black bay pro!
    1
  4414. Same! But here we are

  4415. Steve Sellers I would experiment with tire pressure a bit, lowering psi might help with the high speed wobbles. Also, you get a lot more stable/relaxed with more riding time and experience. I always notice that my comfort and skill on an ewheel is constantly improving even after riding for 3 years. Keep at it!
    1
  4416. Nah, not for me
    1
  4417. No more rev hang!
    1
  4418. Oh yeah youā€™ll be fine. Steering wheel might be a little far away but they make spacers
    1
  4419. I've heard great things about the 18XL! Bigger is usually safer over rough roads, the only disadvantage is weight!
    1
  4420. I didn't, felt like just the MTS module did a good job offroad - but it's a relatively simple mod to do!
    1
  4421. I've been waiting for this with bated breath
    1
  4422. šŸ˜
    1
  4423. Every 4runner Iā€™ve driven with the TRD exhaust drones
    1
  4424. Yep, everythingā€™s the same šŸ‘
    1
  4425. The new BRZ is a lot softer! Almost rides like a Camry šŸ˜‚
    1
  4426. I knew it was going to be a big one šŸ˜‚
    1
  4427. Itā€™s very tempting, maybe!
    1
  4428. Just saw the new ES interior, major disappointment. This generation is a sweet spot!
    1
  4429. Portals would be the jam on one of these!

  4431. And https://youtu.be/28pAuUG57wM šŸ‘šŸ‘
    1
  4432. Definitely
    1
  4433. Tbh on ice you just want to pull the ABS fuse #29. No risk of limp mode, no intervention and you can still select 4WD modes šŸ‘ might recommend that for sand driving too
    1
  4434. Thatā€™s what Siri thinks too šŸ˜‚

  4438. Still great, itā€™s a little tight in the back seat for a childā€™s seat but weā€™re getting by.
    1
  4439. I prefer the M2ā€™s MT. Less rev-hang, nice short gearing. Itā€™s one of BMWā€™s best manuals in a while.
    1
  4440. AWD would just make this heavy and slow
    1
  4441. Sold the 96 auto, bought this!
    1
  4442. Do iiit
    1
  4443. Stock, but one day the rear section fell off. So muffler delete? šŸ˜‚
    1
  4444. Tears of joy dripping down the lens
    1
  4445. Yeah the Elantra Nā€™s PS4S tires are definitely quieter. Thatā€™s usually the case when oems develop a model specific version with Michelin instead of an off the shelf PS4S.
    1
  4446. Ride88, and not with the way I have it setup. If I got a mount closer to the can it might though
    1
  4447. Thatā€™s substitute topher, heā€™s rocking the GS all winter!
    1
  4448. A grab handle would be sweet
    1
  4449. Just a tiny bit
    1
  4450. 28mpg on the first tank, and always 93
    1
  4451. Autozone/O'Reilly's, most auto parts stores have them for a few dollars
    1
  4452. No, but you donā€™t need to- you can go full off by holding the buttons
