- Short introduction video of myself and my BRZ. This is an introductory post to my CZcams channel and Instagram page, which I will be tailoring to BRZ/FRS/GT86 owners that are high mileage or would like to learn how I’ve managed to keep my car maintained so we’ll to achieve over 338k+ miles.
Follow me for future content here on CZcams and Instagram @ fujiwara_brz - Komedie
This is gonna be the 1 million mile BRZ
I’m sure hoping so! I’ll consider myself blessed to achieve at least 500k!
what?? 300k miles? Im at 135k this gives me hope 🙏🏽
I’m now over 417k+ miles, still on the original engine and transmission. These are very reliable cars as long as the maintenance is kept up on.
@@flightsimflyboy great news man that’s actually amazing it’s lasted that long
@@flightsimflyboy yo what motor oil u use ? Mobile 1 5/30 good?
Just hit 140k I will keep coming back to this vid every milestone 🙏🏽😂
Brz owner here with 57K miles, what type and brand of oil do you use? And how often do you change it?
@@saulespino2510 I usually take it to valvoline oil change every 3k miles, but since your car is pretty low miles every 3k might be excessive unless you drive alot . They use 0w-20
@@zaybanks634 Thanks for replying.
Make a video on your maintenance schedule. You really inspire Brz owners
I do have a video posted when I did the 360k mile service, which goes into my maintenance routines and products that I use. I’m currently at 417k+ miles, so at 420k I may make another video when I reach that service interval, which will be spark plugs and all new fluids.
Wow, that’s incredible that you’ve put that many miles on the car. Kudos!
i like these types of videos. thanks man
Nice dude! I got my Toyota 86 back in 2017 with 40miles and now I’m at 109k miles.!
wowww
As of August 10, 2022, my 2015 frs has a little over 102k 🙌🏼
338k is really cool, congrats!
Still rockin the Florida plates. I love it!!
Just recently got my car registered and switched to Texas plates 😁
this gives me hope I have a 2013 scion frs with 214k miles on it!
You drive a lot and have the right car to do so!
I dig it buddy!!
Bro love the channel 👋🏾
Thank you very much! I hope to be able to have some free time to make new content soon.
@@flightsimflyboy Looking forward to new content!
2013 brz with 115k miles here. Basic maintenance and replaced clutch and throw out bearing. That is all folks
This is amazing
I too own a Fujiwara Tofu style BRZ (American Domestic style, I took off the right side sticker because its left hand drive) I'm the 1st owner. I bought the 2020 model as my first car. This video has given myself a tremendous amount of faith for the longevity of daily driving it all year round here in Alberta Canada. I am just sitting over 24400 KM. I have an Injen Evo2001 intake mod, muffler delete, and Lower aero mods (front lip, side skirts, rear apron and diffuser. I am keeping it stock ECU for the sake of longevity as I plan on keeping it running forever (if possible). These cars are amazing and I hope to see more updates from you ^-^
These are very good cars and are lots of fun to drive. With good maintenance practices, they are very reliable and will last a long time. I plan on making another video with my next oil change, as I’ll be reviewing the new Fumoto oil quick drain and a brake master cylinder brace I installed; as well as planning on taking an oil analysis sample at the same time. I’ll also be replacing the spark plugs during the oil change.
Me too bro how much hp are u pushing w the intake? I was thinking ab buying injen
I haven’t had my car on a dyno yet, but I would assume that with the K&N filter and the inlet tube, it may be just a couple of hp over stock. Intakes alone don’t really add much unless you get tuned for it. Your best bet would be to keep the stock intake system and just replace the air filter with a performance filter, as the stock airbox is already a cold air style by design, as the snorkel sits in front of the engine just behind the front bumper.
@@flightsimflyboy BRZ owner here. At how many miles did you do the first spark plug change?
Don’t worry homie, I grew up with Initial D…. Takumi Fujiwara would be proud, along with Bunta! If he was ripping around Mt. Akina today it would be in a GR86/BRZ.
I believe you bud. It seems your beard ran the same mileage as your Brz . Sweet ride !
I just picked up a stock engine 2013 frs with 44k I am VERY happy to see this lol
great car.
Thank you very much!
I’m currently thinking about buying one with 165k miles.. this is making my decision easier 😂
I too have a 2015 FRS. Got it at 54k miles and now im at 82k.. And i thought mine had a lot of miles lol
Has to be the most high mileage BRZ
As far as I know, it currently is. I’m approaching 365k miles now, and still running strong.
@@flightsimflyboy nice man when driving up the freeway or a steep hill do u accel to 3-4k rpm due to the torque dip ?? Im just scared to go above 4k I love my car 😭
Yes, I’ll usually go to 4k rpm’s or higher to accelerate to highway speeds, or will downshift a gear to stay in the torque range. The only way you’ll really risk any harm to the engine is if you stay up near redline for any extended amount of time, or if the oil temps get high and thin out the oil.
How did you get the red cover plates on the engine bat looks very good
I used some metallic paint from AutoZone to paint the various engine covers. Maybe one day I’ll take them to get powder coated or replace them with carbon fiber covers.
What are some key things you think you did that made it last so long?!
Pretty much just keep up with the routine maintenance with the recommended time intervals listed in the owners manual, and using recommended fluid viscosities/weights. Almost all of my cars mileage is highway and backroads, so it’s pretty easy on the engine.
Very heartwarming to hear. I wish it can be lifted by 2 inches to make it more usable for any terrain... or maybe it can be lifted?
I believe there are aftermarket companies that make lift kits for the BRZ/GT86. I’ve seen a few off-road and rally build around the internet. Dirtfish Rally School has one.
There's a 2 inch lift kit for like 500 online forgot the brand though it bolts right to the stock suspension
which clutch fork are you running and is your throwout bearing and bearing retainer cover stock?
The throwout bearing was replaced at 187k miles, but I still use the factory clutch fork, pivot joint and bearing retainer.
Nice car and I can’t believe how much miles you got on it. Do you service the car yearly or every six months changing oil and filter? Did your car had a recall from Subaru?
Thank you! I do the oil changes every 7500 miles and keep up on the routine maintenance according to the owners manual. So far, I haven’t had any recalls from Subaru.
Your paint is amazing for 338k miles.
Thank you! It looks better from a distance than it does up close. All of the daily commuting I do has taken its toll on the front bumper with all the small rocks and debris that gets kicked up from the truckers. I try to keep it washed and detailed as often as I can.
Thinking of getting one used with 53K miles im just worried someone tried to most likely drift it or something
Do you only drive it “normally” or do you got all out from time to time?
Every once in a while I’ll drive it a bit hard, but not too often.
selam. what is your mpg? really interested in an used one but maintenance costs and fuel costs scare me.
I usually average between 32-34mpg, depending on my driving and weather conditions. I don’t do a lot of city driving, so almost all of my mileage is highway and backroads.
Bro drives from Texas to Alaska to go to work
Hast du dein ninja250r selber lackiert und kannst du mir die Farbe sagen oder ein Video drehen wir man genau lackiert ?
It’s the factory color Candy Lime Green.
I’m looking at a 2015 BRZ with 89,936 miles on and for $18,870 , im wondering if that’s too high of a price any pointers???
I just bought my 2015 BRZ Premium back in late October. He had 69k miles and I paid $18k for him. He’s in the shop currently because I blew the clutch but I would say it’s reasonable but I’m not an expert so please don’t quote me 😅😅
Are you tuned? I’m thinking the tunes are what cause people to blow up their engine before 150k miles
No, I’m currently not tuned, but I may look into it when it comes time to replace the header (still running the factory header). I pretty much have only been disconnecting the battery when I do any upgrades or a major service item so that the ECU can sort of “refresh” itself.
@@flightsimflyboy maybe the torque dip is there for reliability purposes 😭😭
@@Flunoir I think the torque dip is more for emissions purposes, but I also like to think that it does help by keeping the engine from revving too quickly and causing traction loss. I think that’s where a lot of people crash their cars by adding a lot of power and torque, and not being able to handle it.
How can the engine last that far...you never floor it before?
I’ll drive it kind of hard every once in a while, but mainly to get up to highway speeds or to pass slower traffic.
@@flightsimflyboy I just burn my 9 years old engine last month. Floor it to the max chasing a honda civic with turbo😁.
What oil do you use?
I primarily use Mobil1 0w20, but have also used Supertech 0w20 a few times.
@@flightsimflyboy AHH..I should use Mobil 1 too😅
Mines not even more than 11k miles lol
Update please?
Not much new to update, other than now sitting at just under 358k miles. I did have to replace the front lip after damaging it on a parking block at a Starbucks. I may make another video when I reach 360k miles and go over in detail what products I use, as it’ll be due for the next 60k mile service at that time.
I would appreciate if you do make another video I’m almost at 100k now and I also work at Subaru so if you can make another video I would definitely appreciate it for sure, to see what products you use to maintain it. . I want the BRZ forever ❤️ 🙏🏾
338k miles with that wing 😂
Why does this guy breathe so heavy?
