After having been at my dream job for almost a year now, I’m finally looking at getting into my second dream - owning a jdm car. I love the older jdm cars of course, but realistically I just want something new that won’t need repairs and work done all the time. I was at a car show here in my city and saw this. Super affordable and for a new car, it looks so clean and almost kinda keeps the roots of jdm in a way. I’ve come back to all your BRZ vids just to hype myself more and I think I’m convinced man. Hopefully I can get one this year, if not, definitely next year. Cheers!
Saw a gen 2 (86) for the first time in person today. The Neptune Blue color is so nice. I didn't like the gen 2 twins at first but they have grown on me so much and I love them now. As an owner of a '20 BRZ, gen 1 has a place in my heart. Love your FRS! Excited to see the new stuff with the BRZ as well.
The new Nissan (400) Z will be awesome, but it won't be just $10k more. You would want the Performance trim with the LSD, better brakes and tires, rev matching and launch control .... all that which is another $10k on top of the Sport trim which when all said and done is easily $20k over the Gen 2 86/BRZ and that's if you can find one w/o addons. Dealers would probably flood the lots with cars that already have another $4-6k of addons . Now you have to start thinking about the tax on top of all that final sale price. The Gen 2 86/BRZ is such a better deal since it's a base car with an awesome chassis and suspension that is track ready out of the box. There are stock Gen 2 twins taking out Porsches and Supras on the track already.
I've been waiting for mine for a couple of months now, just a few more days and I'll have mine. def the car for me from what you're saying, cant wait to be driving it and maybe take it to my first track day!
brother, you live a nice life! Keep grinding! I just recently got into cars and you're one of my reference when it comes into modding. Nothing too crazy but I'm starting with a good set of wheels before I consider lowering it.
I’m don’t know much about the whole car scene but the GR86 MT is definitely going to be my first big girl purchase this year! 😊 your videos are dope just subscribed ✅
Am i the only one who still likes the 1st gen than the 2nd gen more? Idk… just the look of a 1st gen FR-S/ BRZ is more aggressive and just looks more badass… the interior in one is also more sport like… no shade on the new BRZ’s, because i seen a couple in person and they are beautiful & eye catching but my heart still will always belong to my 1st gen 😩 i might be biased
Man you got a steal on your car do you have the premium or regular, the dealer in my town wanted to markup the price by like 10k for a premium GR86 so the car was like 45k which is wayyyy over priced! I really enjoy your content I have a 1st Gen FRS lowered and going to get me some Kansei KNP wheels this week and plan to get me a 2023or 2024 GR86 next year around April although I saw its better to buy a new car from Oct-1st-Jan1st on to the next year when did you purchase yours what month?
Probably gonna get one once I pay off my toaster (2012 xB). As far as a daily, I don’t see myself getting rid of the Scion anytime soon. As a project, however, I’d been looking at cars like this and the Honda S2000 for some time and honestly I dunno which I’d like more. I have zero experience with RWD aside from my mum’s ‘05 Rubicon, so I’d definitely be down to try something different. Great video.😁
Your car is beautiful bruh, I love how you made it. It fits you, YOUR personality, as far as what I can see due to your videos, IS TALENTED, so whenever I see someone customize THEIR car, it definitely says alot about who 'They' are and how they perceive things. Now, me, I got a wife and kids etc. So, your car wouldn't do me any good, But what I got, does the trick for me! I do the same thing as you, I look for ways to make my car better, it never stops. And a my car is a reflection of My Personality. My car IS a part of ME.
Very good video! The 2022 GR86/BRZ is definitely a car I want once I move to cali 🔥 absolutely love it! 👀 So chris, which one do YOU like more 😏 the frs OR the 2022 BRZ
I tried sitting in the gr86 seats and didn’t like the head rest since it angles down so much and felt so firm, any thoughts on it? But in my 2014 frs I loved the seats
I’ve transitioned from driving big heavy suvs and trucks to owning a gr86. The driving experience is a huge difference and the tighter space is actually enjoyable. Perfect car as a daily for me needs and great security system to prevent your parents or anyone else from driving it
I’m already 6’2-6’3 barefoot at 14, and a bit scared that by the time I’m 16-18 and want to own this car I might just not fit. Can you fit in the front seat above 6’3?
For this reason as well as more stock power, I am considering the WRX. The exterior just needs a lot of work to make it as sleek as even a stock GR86/BRZ.
I want to see one in person first and get a ride or even drive it to finally formulated my opinion however I do think the gen2 looks really nice but I prefer the gr86 front bumper over the BRZ.
I like them, gonna buy one in the upcoming months. Not many cars have an actual handbrake and not many manual transmissions anymore. Plus with these type of cars, you can do many of mods.
Gen 1 looks better in my opinion! I had a 300zx and a Corvette that were faster but my Frs is way more fun and feels better on turns for sure! It's great on gas and I have three kids all of which I take to school and my 2 year old goes in the car seat. It's tight but we all fit for a short commute so the back is not useless! No back seats at all is useless!
Bruh same! I need more info to come out. Also mazda might make a new mazda 6 coupe/sedan with toyota, rumors says I6 rwd. New supra is cool too, but I'm so fucking biased to have a pure heritage car idk why. Been considering a new mustang gt too, was my first car but sold it for a lexus is350. Lexus feels way better to drive than a mustang gt, but I want even more of a drivers car.
@@williammorales3859 A purist, drivers car. Yes! I went from 03 Civic, my first, to a '20 Corolla. I'll have to keep an eye on Mazda. Im not a huge fan of Mustangs or Dodge Challengers. They're so commonly seen in my area. But we all have our opinions and reasons behind our purchase. The longer I look into purchasing a particular vehicle the more i move onto something else lol. So I best stop looking! First was the Toyota MR2, Golf R, BRZ/86...now this!
@@daniellocke9534 awesome, please let me know how the 2 compares when you have the brz. I know they are apple to orange but I love both and would like to know the driving feelings from daily perspective. For example I like taking corners in a freaking 2017 Honda hrv over a 2019 mustang gt just because the lightness feel in the hrv. Please make a video comparing the 2 if you can. Thanks
I'm having annoyance over volume setting, when I got android auto on, I can't have any apps opened prior to using AA. Volume turns to notifications instead of media, so I gotta open Spotify off the infotainment. Annoying asf
Even tho it looks like a Porsche the Gen 2 has really grown on me. That being said I love my Gen 1 and I think when it comes times for a new car I might just look into motor swaping the FA24 into it.
Fire video Chris denfently learned some tips on the difference on cars 🔥👌

Great info thanks Chris, Still waiting for my 86
Great vlog, bro. If and when my brand blows up, I'm considering it. But then again, I might just continue building my daily
Your editing and shots are dope I appreciate the videography keep it up.
Absolutely love the honesty brother
And we chasing that 100K mark this year⚡😎
sick video man very well thought out and edited etc. keep up the grind man cant wait for you to hit a phat 100k
i really like the wheels man!! great video!! god bless

Neptune is such a sick color…
fire vid once again . been loving the new body style lately
🙌🏻
BRZ and GR86 are good looking cars, but for $10K+ more I still have to buy the Nissan Z. The widebody's that will come out for the Z will be insane.
I agree the Z is gonna look so sick with a widebody kit

Sick man! I’m hyped for you. 🙌🏻
Goated day when Chris uploads 🙏 lookin cute with the eyebrow slits bro
🤭❤️
Such a sick vid bro, I draw so much inspiration from your videos for my own channel! 🙏
Much love man! 🙌🏻
brother, you live a nice life! Keep grinding! I just recently got into cars and you're one of my reference when it comes into modding. Nothing too crazy but I'm starting with a good set of wheels before I consider lowering it.
Much love bro. Follow your vision!
Lower first then wheels
^^
Lower the car first
Lower it first then wheels made a mistake myself going wheels first bro

Respect! 💯
Gen1 is legendary
Same something ab the design just looks so good
I just told a friend of mine I wish I could do a body swap, keep the GR86 performance upgrades but have the old body style.
@@drphil4209 gen 2 is gonna have to earn its glory through the coming years
Love the vids love the car kinda thinking of getting that or the 2020 wrx
Hard choice!
Sounds soo good!🔥
So loud haha! Thanks man. 🙌🏻
Such an informative video and loved the opinion
Also Chris you be looking fire 🔥 tho with the haircut not gonna lie

I haven't driven second gen yet. I'm excited to see the chassis stiffness
Once you drive it you’ll fall in love !
Banger!

I have owned my 22 brz for about 2 months now, still get excited to take a drive every time I sit in it
That’s what it’s all about!
Very good video! The 2022 GR86/BRZ is definitely a car I want once I move to cali 🔥 absolutely love it! 👀 So chris, which one do YOU like more 😏 the frs OR the 2022 BRZ
I think i’ll always love the FRS more. The OG. 🔥
@@chris_borges answer this question again once the new one is boosted! Hahah
I’m loving my GR86 definitely worth it!!!
Ayyy 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Oh man, I used to live near that neighborhood. Nice car. Waiting for it to come down to MSRP
Got two deposit down for a Neptune Blue Manual GR86. Hope my allocation comes in this summer 🤞
I tried sitting in the gr86 seats and didn’t like the head rest since it angles down so much and felt so firm, any thoughts on it? But in my 2014 frs I loved the seats
Never owned one or owned a boxer engine. How’s the motor on those ?? Car looks fire 🔥
I subbed because of the 2nd Gen Twins!
Trying to get a GR86 in the next two years.
Ayyy sick!!
couldn't get a hold on the 2nd gen because of allocations/waitlist so I decided that'll be picking up a '22 GTI
Might have to get a 2nd gen 86 in a few months 🤔👀
What car would you recommend? My budget is 30k
Car looks amazing!!
Thanks bro!

I agree the 86 bumper looks way better!
for sure!
What about the power difference between your SC Gen 1 and the OEM Gen 2? I have to admit I like the 86 front end better.
On 91 I would guess 40-60hp difference. E85 makes all the difference with the supercharger!
I saw the Gen 2 in person and fell in love. Pictures and videos don’t do it justice.
I just wish that the tail lights didn’t look like that.
clear tails ? 👀🔥
I like them, gonna buy one in the upcoming months. Not many cars have an actual handbrake and not many manual transmissions anymore. Plus with these type of cars, you can do many of mods.
💯💯💯 right on!
what kind of cameras do you use for filming and just for daily use?
Canon eos m50!
Gen 2 is well worth it. It checks all the boxes ✅
🙌🏻❤️
Cant wait for mine to come in may. got the premium halo white😩
Gonna be such a long few months 😭😭
love the gr86 🔥💯
Wouldn’t the gr86 be the third gen because of the ae86 ?
Bro can i ask the BRZ NEW DASHBOARD CAN FITS FRS DASHBOARD? do u guys got try wanna make new things? 😅😂
Need one of those banners on my brz 😎
Coming soon!
Im in my second semester of college and have been looking for a sporty/reliable car should I get the GR86
100%
My answer before I even get through the ads:
YES YES YES
Gen 1 looks better in my opinion! I had a 300zx and a Corvette that were faster but my Frs is way more fun and feels better on turns for sure! It's great on gas and I have three kids all of which I take to school and my 2 year old goes in the car seat. It's tight but we all fit for a short commute so the back is not useless!

Been trying to buy a gen 2, but apparently Subaru stopped production of the 2022 last month… won’t be able to get one until the 2023 comes out 😕
I wonder what they're gonna do to the wrx sti
You can order one from the dealer now. Just placed mine last week. Eta sept/oct
Final answer…..HELL YEAAAAAAAA🔥
Yessir!! 🙌🏻
What type of water pressure do you have? Brand and name?
Link in the description of my amazon list! I have everything in there bro.
Hey Chris those federals at 4:57 which tires are those?
rsrr
Only thing I don’t like about the brz is it’s small back seats really
from not ever having tint, is 30-35% on the windshield that really that dark especially when driving at night
Not at all with some decent headlights !
I’m trying to get a pavement gr86 premium mt ofc🙈
bring back the running on E shirts
I would buy another one if I could 💯
Yessir 🤝
Toyota just teased the Corolla GR. Might wait for that to come out. I went from wanting and really liking the BRZ to 86 and now im still pondering :/

u still using 91 octane? must loose about 10 hp
Definietly worth every single penny :)
Couldnt imagine trading in my STI but the brz is sick and I bet it’s a blast to drive
Can’t go wrong with a 4 door sports car
I traded my hawkeye sti! Super excited for my gt86 to get shipped up
Gr* oops!
keep it stock body the brz pls♥️
Worth it if you can find a dealer who won’t destroy you with market adjustment
Even tho it looks like a Porsche the Gen 2 has really grown on me. That being said I love my Gen 1 and I think when it comes times for a new car I might just look into motor swaping the FA24 into it.
That would be something sick. 🔥 I can definitely see that being a common thing with the gen 1’s!
Isn’t looking like a Porsche a good thing lol 😂
@@Allanstiii I wouldn’t say it’s a good or a bad thing. It is what it is
Its a great car but man , I hate the rear and the interior

💯🔥
Those gas prices are scary
Facts 🥱
Get new GR86 for 2033 or send it for used STI (2016-2019)
That same gas station is at 6.50 now 😩
🙃🙃🙃
the specs up at Subaru Canada says minimum 93 octane your using 91...
we only get 91 in california 💀
The problem is its nearly the price of the new z
you should get a honda si and mod it :)))))
Haven’t had any experience with honda yet 👀
Why do you use 91 instead of 93?
91 is all we have here
You should, but don't ruin it like this
My 86 got rear ended
I want one so bad but can’t afford it right now
BRZ or GR ? 👀🔥
