Why Toyota’s GR-86 is a Legend in the Making

In 2009, when Toyota brought the FT-86 Concept to the masses, it was a bit underwhelming. Originally thought to be a new V6 hybrid Electric All-Wheel Drive platform, as hinted by the FT-HS, the naturally aspirated low power front mounted boxer engine and rear wheel drive layout disappointed many, but sent a spark throughout the touge when it was announced that it would be a continuation of the legendary AE-86.

If you have spent any amount of time in the U.S. Import car scene, you’re no stranger to the AE-86. On paper, it’s nothing special, but Toyota’s focus on balance catapulted this car to the forefront of an automotive revolution and saw mass success on trace tracks across the world for over 30 years. Then they quit. It wasn’t until 2013 that we would get the ZN6 (Toyota) and ZC6 (Subaru) chassis to reignite the revolution of the late 80’s. The success of which brought us to the car we are talking about today, the ZN8 (Toyota) and ZD8 (Subaru) GR-86. The 2022 model year GR-86 (BR-Z) changed the game during a time where the game absolutely needed changing. With an MSRP of under $30,000 usd, the GR-86 (BR-Z) was arguably one of the best looking new sports cars on the market and was relatively immune to mass mark-ups we were seeing across the country. With Ken Gushi and Jhonnattan Castro pushing the limits of the chassis on track, they sold like hotcakes to a crowd of young enthusiasts. However, Toyota missed the mark in a few places to solidify the GR-86’s (BR-Z) legend status, but a lot of aftermarket companies stepped in to filled the gap. So here are the Top 8 Performance Modifications for the GR-86 (BR-Z).

#1. HKS GT2 Supercharger Pro Kit

So with the GR-86 (BR-Z), the elephant in the room is actually not in the room at all, and that elephant is power. The 2.4 liter FA24D boxer in the GR-86 (BR-Z) makes an astounding 228 horsepower and 184 foot-pounds of torque, which is an approximate 10% increase over the previous model, but not nearly enough to keep up with its domestic counterparts. HKS, as usual, has a answer for Toyota’s power shortcomings and the answer is the HKS GT2 Supercharger Pro Kit. Unlike most aftermarket forced induction kits, HKS has designed the GT2 to utilize the factory air box keeping the intake air temps low and the noise even lower while producing nearly 300whp.

#2. GruppeM Ram Air System

If the drawbacks of forced induction are not something that interest you, one of the best ways to make power out of the factory GR-86 (BR-Z) FA24D is via the GruppeM Ram Air Intake System. Made of 100% hand laid carbon fiber, this intake wicks away heat faster than the factory intake and utilizes a GruppeM specific ram air system to bring in ambient air from the factory grille. With simple bolt-on installation, this is one of the best ways to increase power across the rev range.

#3. Cusco Rear Differential Cover

Typically when we hear of upgraded covers, we don’t necessarily associate it with performance as it simply covers the parts doing real work. This is not the case with the Cusco Differential Cover. The factory differential of the GR-86 (BR-Z) has been shown to stand up to a good amount of abuse in stock form, however if you intend to increase the power output of your GR-86(BR-Z), it is imperative that you increase the driveling cooling capability as well. With provisions for external fluid coolers, the Cusco Differential Cover adds an additional 500cc (.5 liters) of fluid capacity, features revised cooling fin design, and is made of billet aluminum, making it an upgrade over factory in every way. Whether you’re drifting or tearing up the road course, the benefits of the Cusco Differential Cover are well worth the cost.

#4. REMARK Titanium R1-Spec Catback

Let’s be real, the dual tips on the GR-86 (BR-Z) are primarily for aesthetics. While REMARK offers their Elite Spec Cat-back, Sports Touring Cat-back, and Sport Cat-back for those that wish the maintain the factory twin exhaust, they stuck to their guns and went full race car with the Titanium R1-Spec Cat-back Exhaust for the GR-86 (BR-Z). Featuring a full 2.5” run, the titanium system is designed to optimize the scavenging effects of factory and advance aftermarket headers before offering a straight shot out the rear through their 4.5 inch slant cut burnt titanium tip. While the REMARK Titanium R1-Spec Cat-back is one of the loudest exhausts on the market for the Subaru and Toyota platforms, it does so while maintaining a full bodied tone. The REMARK Titanium R1-Spec Cat-back is also the ultimate exhaust if you’re looking to see some flames from the back of your GR-86 (BR-Z).

#5. A’PEXi N1 Evolution Damper Coilovers

Toyota did a really good job of keeping body roll and the dynamic factory dampening toeing the line between daily driver and race car. However, this came at a price, a price which keeps it from reaching the esteemed JDM Legend Status. However, after mapping countless laps and road miles with the likes of Maaya Orido and Hana Burton, A’PEXi released a coilover that is completely incomparable to others on the market. A far cry from the more common N1 Type ExV, the N1 EVO was designed to be dependable, rebuildable, and without compromise. That being said, each set is custom, made to order, specifically to the demands and driving discipline of the customer, but the most basic features are a true 25-way dampening adjustment, huge lightweight monotube with a 46mm diameter piston, adjustable lower body to keep pre-load consistent, and a 65mm ID spring. Constructed in Japan, but rebuildable in Orange County, California, there’s no better coilover on the market for the GR-86.

#6. Project Mu M1 Front and Rear Brake Pads

Big brake kits are often the standardized go-to for brake upgrades, but with the GR-86, it’s hardly necessary. The ultimate upgrade for a street driven GR-86 (BR-Z) is actually one of the most affordable. The Project Mu B Force Compound is the result of over 40 years of braking compound development that gives all the benefit of a competent race pad, without the harsh counter effects on the rotors. While heat and brake fade will always be synonymous with one another, Project Mu B Force Compound brake pads are shown to outlast and outperform the factory pads utilizing the factory fluid. However, if you truly want to do hotlap after hotlap and drive you GR-86 (BR-Z) home, Project Mu has designed their G-Four 335 brake fluid to stand up to the abuse. If you’re looking for something just as good, but more readily available, I also recommend Motul DOT 5.1 brake fluid.

#7. ADRO USA Widebody Kit w/ Diffuser

While the GR-86 (BR-Z) is one of the best looking cars to come out of Toyota since the 90’s , they kept it relatively mild. While the TOM’S body kit took everyone by storm at SEMA 2023, there was another GR-86 that was all but subtle. ADRO’s GR-86 Widebody kit is one of the highest quality, most complete kits on the market. In true ADRO fashion, this body kit didn’t redesign the wheel, they broadened and perfected it. Improving on the factory curves and induction scoops, ADRO’s design is the cherry on top of a design that is truly timeless. All in hand, the GR-86 (BR-Z) is a legend in the making, but it wont get there without your vision and the highest quality parts. Whether you want to drift Ebisu or grip Fuji, the key to solidifying legend status with the GR-86 is quality parts, quality style, and top tier performance.

The rear-drive #AE86 Corolla Coupes were sleeper sports cars in their day. Sporty but in part seen as economy cars, they were an unlikely performance car. In 1988, the AE86 gave way to the #AE92 Corolla GT-S seen here, which at the time was considered even sportier than the outgoing 86. As a classic, their positions reversed, with the AE86 becoming a star via drifters, Initial D, and the general upswing in interest in Japanese classics. The AE92 hasn’t enjoyed the same fame as its predecessor, but it still has a dedicated following and it’s still lots of fun to drive.  The AE86 was part of the Corolla (Levin) and Sprinter (Trueno) lineup back in Japan and in part a holdover from the earlier era, built on the bones of the earlier E70 Corollas. By the time they were on the market, Toyota had almost entirely transitioned away from rear-drive for anything smaller than the large midsize Chaser/Cressida sized cars, so to make the AE92 much less costly to produce, it graduated to the E90 Corolla architecture for 1988. In Japan there were a vast array of E90-based cars. In the U.S. the Corolla choices were more limited. The AE92 Coupes here were attractive and low-slong, with pop-up headlights and, in GT-S form, an aero kit. Once again, they were called Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno in Japan, with the U.S. car closer to the Trueno, with it’s popup headlights. This is a U.S. model, but somebody’s given it back its JDM name. U.S. coupes came only in two forms - SR5 (with the 95-hp 4A-F/FE engine) and the GT-S, with the 4A-GE, a legendarily tunable Toyota powerplant with a head and cams developed by Yamaha. The SR5, the rarer of the two, at first came with a carburetor but quickly graduated to fuel injection. Both were 16 valvers, though this was most emphasized on the more potent GT-S. In 1988 16V cars were still rare and noteworthy, so the GT-S carried "Twin Cam 16 Valve" stickers on its body-kitted sides. Five well-spaced gears made the most of the 115 hp.In Japan there were even faster versions of the Sprinter Trueno, including one with the supercharged 4A-GZE, offered for a limited time in the North American MR2 and packing 163hp, serious business in 1988. https://www.instagram.com/p/CI6YqvMlCja/?igshid=znxk1s97hyy8

Why You Should Customize Your Vehicle and The Most Popular Cars to Customize

There’s nothing better than cruising down the highway in your brand new car, with the windows down and the radio turned up to your favourite song. What could be better? Cruising down the highway in a brand new, customized vehicle.

Retirees have been unable to travel for most of the last two years. What this means is that they have more disposable income, and many are using their savings to customize their favourite cars from their youth. Bespoke vehicles are all the rage now and it’s not hard to see why.

There are many great reasons to customize a car. For one thing, a bespoke car gives you a chance to express yourself and your unique individuality. Aside from a custom-made suit, there is almost nothing you can buy that gives you the chance to add on so many personable and individualized features.

If you have the knowledge and the equipment, fixing up old cars can be a lot of fun. Even if you don’t, working with an auto designer can be a very enjoyable experience and give you a chance to learn more about your vehicle than you would after just a simple tune-up.

By customizing your car, you can increase its speed, improve the look and even increase the resale value. That is if you can ever bring yourself to sell it. Below are a few of the auto industry’s favourite cars to customize.

For bespoke vehicle sourcing in Kelowna, click here.

Mazda MX-5 Miata. The body of it is made for leisurely relaxing drives through Canada’s many winding highways.

Jeep Wrangler.  The classic off-road vehicle can easily be customized with a lift kit to get you over even the rockiest terrain. Perfect for weekend getaways.

Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ. These two cars are nearly identical. Neither comes with a particularly powerful engine, but both can easily be customized with a super or turbocharger to improve performance.

Volkswagen Golf and GTI. Both of these models are highly upgradable and have many stock options available including turbocharged engines, upgraded ignitions, and intercoolers.

Subaru WRX and WXR STI. The main appeal of this vehicle is that all stock models come equipped with all-wheel drive and powerful engines. This gives these vehicles plenty of options for customization.

Chevrolet Camaro. This classic American car is already in a class of its own but customization done to it makes it even faster and better looking. It’s no wonder this is one of the most popular bespoke cars ever created.

Ford Mustang. On par with the Camaro, this classic American muscle car has been around for decades. All models are easily customizable but newer editions come with computerized engine upgrade options, superchargers, upgraded ignitions, and more.

Honda S2000. This car was created to celebrate Honda’s 50th anniversary and was only around for 10 years. The fact that this car was discontinued in 2009 makes it a real treasure. The stock version already offers a superb engine but it is easily customizable.

Classic Volkswagen Beetle. Finally, the Beetle which has one of the best-selling records of any car of all time has almost limitless potential for upgrades. The Beetle has been made into a dune buggy, drag racing vehicle, and even an off-road vehicle.

Whether you’re looking for something to bring to the auto show or something you and your family can enjoy on the weekends, a bespoke vehicle will surely upgrade your garage and your life. For bespoke vehicle sourcing in Kelowna, click here.

These Are The Coolest Modified Subaru BRZs We've Seen So Far

These Are The Coolest Modified Subaru BRZs We've Seen So Far

Call it the Subaru BRZ or the Toyota 86 or even the Scion FR-S, this entry-level sports car with each other developed by Subaru and Toyota continues to be stealing hearts ever since its beginning in 2012. And now, a driven model is coming for 2022 , this one promising 228 race horses and 15% more torque compared to before.

While the Subaru BRZ can break no property speed records, it does come with sufficient kicks to give you a thrill plus a fairly fun drive . Plus, since it's entry-level plus non-luxury, it is rather economically priced, which makes it easy for people to modify it simply because they have the wherewithal to spend on it.

2013 was the year from the maximum sales for the Subaru BRZ, reaching a zenith of a little more compared to 8, 500 cars. 2019 product sales were at a dismal 2, 330 or so… Clearly, the Subaru BRZ needs to buck up, plus hopefully, the 2022-model can work several magic back.

8 If Cars Had Wings: Daniel Moreau’s 2013 Subaru BRZ

Via PASMag

You have to look at the rear side of this car to realize that it indicates some serious business. Daniel Moreau was planning to replace his Subaru WRX STI and saw possible in the BRZ, and so he obtained home 2013 model. Only, maintaining it stock was never an alternative.

Via Pinterest

So not only was this particular Subaru BRZ lowered on beefed-up suspension, its engine now can make 330 horses with the help of performance components, one of which is an Edelbrock supercharger, as well as a tuning kit. The rear side has our heart, and if the BRZ could fly, this would be the very first contender.

7 High performance Sound: 2012 Subaru BRZ ‘Litchfield’

Via YouTube

When the Subaru BRZ broken onto the sportscar scene this year, it was all fun but was missing a bit in the power department, the 2 . 0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 200 horses. The drive had been fun, of course , but the Subaru do lag in thrills.

Through LitchfieldMotors

Therefore Litchfield managed to fit in a supercharger and intercoolers, and the engine breathed freer, boosting its energy all the way to 280 horses . The sound is insane, helped simply by that Miltek exhaust, and returns all the chills and thrills.

6 The Eternal Build: Toby Espiritu’s 2017 Subaru BRZ

Via Facebook

Andre Espiritu first saw a vehicle being built when he had been four and fell in love with the concept right then. While he has labored on Mercedes-Benz and Honda cars too, when he saw a new 2017 Subaru BRZ, he had to have this.

Via PASMag

Once he got it, this individual built it with a race-inspired outside and interior and stanced it with an air suspension system . The vehicle looks gorgeous but Espiritu statements this is one build that may never ever come to an end because playing with the particular BRZ is his favorite action to take.

5 Power-Packed: Nguyen Le’s 2012 Subaru BRZ

Via SpeedHunters

Nguyen Le fell in love with the particular Subaru BRZ, and when sales opened up, booked one as fast as he could. The minute it arrived, he lowered this and swapped in bigger wheels in it. But of course , power has been lacking.

Via SpeedHunters

So Nguyen place in a Stage 1 turbo package and did all the work on the vehicle himself. Almost immediately, their Subaru BRZ began to make 320 horses . But he held working the car, and with bigger injections, it made 401 horsepower, and after that came in that Varis widebody package. Needless to say, this BRZ is what desires are made of.

4 A Fantasy Hankering: R/7’s Subaru BRZ Dream

Via ArtStation

Looks definitely stunning, right? So would you end up being very mad if we tell you this isn’t a real car but the screenshot taken from Forza Horizon four, a video game, and then altered with a photoshop artist to near excellence?

Via ArtStation

If you did not know that this particular Subaru BRZ was not a real vehicle, you’d assume it was since it appears to be wearing a Rocket Bunny widebody package. The black makes the otherwise thrilling feisty BRZ look positively menacing, and we are so here for it, as well as the dual exhaust speaks for improved power.

3 Absurd Revs: Enrico Sartori’s LS3 Subaru BRZ

Via SpeedHunters

Take a Subaru BRZ and then cut its heart out there. Introduce a tuned GM six. 2-liter LS3 engine in it, plus take its horsepower to absurd amounts, letting it jet 580 race horses pounding to a V8 soundtrack, together with an orgasmic 672 ft-lb rpm.

Via SpeedHunters

The maker of this totally slammed Subaru BRZ is Enrico Sartori, whose company, Brill Metal will be selling this model throughout Europe – so modifying the BRZ and making it fly is simply matter of having more moolah.

two How Low Are you able to Go? Kevin Phung’s 2013 BRZ

Via Stancespice

Slammed, stanced, and traveling on air, this lowered Subaru BRZ is a vision for painful eyes. While the original engine continues to be retained, there’s a cold-air consumption on this, as well as a race mid-pipe that takes performance to another level .

Via Stancespice

The BRZ carries a wide body kit plus carbon fiber fins, and also has a diffuser to make it look, feel and run a lot more track worthy than before. The particular interiors have been spruced up as properly, and the steering wheel can change hues to suit the interior.

1 Serious Design: Matt B’s ‘Dragonball’ Subaru BRZ

Via ModBargain'sBlog

Somehow, wide-bodies become a Subaru BRZ, so when Matt B purchased his BRZ, this was the way to go just for him. He got Tra Kyoto’s Rocketbunny kit, although the going has been slow for a while. The wing appears great as do the Forgestar tires in black.

Via CarThrottle

There are precious metal accents used in the interior of the vehicle because Matt was a big Dragonball fan since childhood. After all, adjustments are usually all about personalization. Cool? Without a doubt!

Toyota Launches Sporty GR Sub-Brand for Japan

Toyota has announced that it will launch the GR Sport Series sub-brand in Japan to bolster its lineup of sporty cars. The debut of the GR Series follows that of the Yaris GRMN in Europe earlier this year at the 2017 Geneva auto show. In addition to the Japanese market, Toyota plans to expand the GR Series of vehicles outside of its home market with Europe being a likely candidate. There will be three levels of performance in Toyota’s GR Series lineup. The GR Sport is the entry-level model, followed by the mid-tier GR, and then the range-topping GRMN. Toyota will leverage knowledge and data gained from racing its vehicles at events like the 24 Hours of Nurburgring and the All-Japan Rally Championship. In the beginning, Toyota will roll out a GR variant of the Japanese market Vitz (Yaris in the U.S.), and 86 while the Prius Prime, Harrier, Mark X, and Noah will be available in GR Sport guise. GR stands for Gazoo Racing, Toyota’s racing arm in Japan. At the top of the range will be the Vitz GRMN, essentially the Japanese-spec version of the Yaris GRMN. It will feature the same 1.8-liter supercharged I-4, limited-slip differential, sport seats, Sachs shock absorbers, and BBS alloy wheels. The Toyota 86 GR will receive a unique aero kit, Sachs shock absorbers, Recaro sport seats, Rays alloy wheels, more powerful brakes, and a single exhaust tip. Key changes to GR Series vehicles include a new grille, GR-branded sport seats, silver accent stitching, and a unique engine start/stop button. The base GR Sport models add a sportier suspension tune, additional bracing, a unique tachometer, black shifter, aluminum pedals, and a smaller steering wheel. GR models get an even more aggressive suspension tune with Sachs shocks, additional spot welding and bracing, a smaller steering wheel, and a manual shift mode in CVT models that mimics a 10-speed automatic. Along with the GR Series launch, Toyota will also launch the GR Garage shop as a place for auto enthusiasts to gather. They will replace the Area 86 shops in Japan, totaling 39 GR Garage locations.
