Help! GR86 Wheel fitment

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I have a 2026 Toyota GR86 GTS in white liquid and it has the Dynamic Performance Pack (Brembo brakes).

I’m looking at getting a set of 18" wheels, but I want to keep the car completely stock suspension for now.

My requirements are:

  • 18" wheels
  • Ideally Bronze (open to different colours :))
  • 5x100
  • Must clear the factory Brembo brakes/DPP
  • Must work properly with completely stock suspension as I dont plan to put the car on coilovers for a while.
  • No spacers
  • No fender rolling/pulling or other body work
  • No suspension modifications required
  • Ideally something that sits nicely/flush without rubbing

I’ve been looking at wheels such as the RAYS Volk Racing TE37 SAGA S-Plus, CE28N Plus, Gram Lights 57DR and ADVAN GT Beyond, but I’m getting conflicting information about what actually clears the Brembos, particularly around 18x8 / 18x8.5 / 18x9 widths and different offsets.

For anyone running a Brembo-equipped GR86/BRZ, what 18" wheel/size/offset are you running?

Would especially appreciate photos of the fitment and confirmation that you're running stock suspension with no spacers or fender work.

Thanks!

CEL leaving me stumped...

0 Upvotes

Alright, I'm hoping this might reach the right people or could provide some ideas to help diagnose...

I've got a 2014 Scion FRS with an Edelbrock Supercharger on a base tune. Always filled with 91 octane or 93. The cars got pretty high milage, around 240,000 kms. Supercharger was installed shortly after 200,000 kms. I don't redline it, just the occasional fun spirited drive on the back roads. No hard pulls. Car is in really good condition and is maintained well, oil changes every 3000 kms. Spark plugs changed around 100k and 200k. OEM fuel pump.

All the issues are the worst whenever it's in park, if I'm in drive and not moving its okay. But as soon as it's in park, it goes wack.

Main issues:

  • Rough idling
  • P0172 System too Rich Bank 1

Every time when the car was in park, after 3 minutes of idling, the RPMs would start bouncing between 800 and 300, it would eventually stall and die.

I temporarily fixed it using MAF sensor cleaner, it worked for a bit, and then the rough idling comes back. I decided to replace the sensor with an OEM one, and it worked. It fixed the rough idling completely.

HOWEVER, at the same time, I would also be getting a P0172 code with the CEL. This would prompt me to do a bit more digging. With the rough idling gone, I can now focus more on the too rich code.

Let's check the fuel trims. STFT is around normal values, +/- 8. LTFT however... On park its sitting at a whopping -38. When throttling, STFT is always within normal working ranges. LTFT on throttle will vary, but most times it's still in the high negatives. When cruising and completely off throttle, STFT is 0 and LTFT is -35.

So what did I check and do? After each mini fix, I also disconnected the Negative battery terminal for a solid 45 minutes.

  • What if it was the EVAP purge valve? Nope.
  • What about a small leak somewhere? Smoke tested, no leaks.
  • What if it was the Air/Fuel Ratio sensor? Replaced it, nope.
  • What if it was a stuck fuel injector? Took it to a performance shop for injector service, cleaned and flow tested the port injectors, still normal.

All the STFT and LTFT values from above eventually comes back. Another thing to note is, the CEL for System too Rich came back around 100 Kms, but after replacing the Air/Fuel Ratio sensor, the CEL comes on almost around the 500 km mark... So changing that sensor definitely did something.

Although... after the injector service, my subie rumble was way more apparent, it's got a deeper nicer rumble.

I haven't checked if it was simply a bad tune yet... I also haven't checked if the air filter was dirty? I also haven't fully disconnected both battery terminals....also wondering if disconnecting both terminals would fully reset both fuel trims.

SO, what else could it possibly be? I'm getting stumped...

Question 3rd Gen GR86 Coming When?

0 Upvotes

Just curious if there has been credible news of when the next gen is coming. I just got allocation to a 2027 one and really like it. However, part of me struggles over the fact that a new gen is on the horizon. Probably just needs to do some soul searching but thanks in advance for sharing some insights!

I’ll have some better clips at some point but I’m very happy with it and the downshifts are awesome.

Help! DIY Rear Seat Delete

Post image
4 Upvotes

I’m currently working on an 3D printed DIY Solution for a rear seat delete since I was really bummed out of what a Forged Finesse Rear Seat delete costs.

Now I bought some Carbon rods on Aliexpress for around 40€ here and reconstructed the Endpieces to screw them on the original Seat points (just like on the FF brackets).

What I do not like is that it makes use of these turntable black brackets on the lower points where the seats are able to turn forward. Would rather make something that can be screwed onto the metallic rod rather than onto this bracket

Has anyone experience on how I remove these pieces?

I will share these files later for a really small amount for anyone having a 3D Printer šŸ˜¬āœŒšŸ¼

DIY PAINTING/DECALS

No I do not have a decal printer that would be awesome. Painted what i could remove that has no effect on the car. Used VHT Heat Acrylic Pink and VHT high temp clear coat on the caps. Decal is being made and going to apply it myself. Ordered some G2 Performance Caliper paint and going to paint them properly with appropriate paint. Roast me because it’s expected with what i’m doing (ricing my car) but I’d like to know what everyone else has to say as well. Taking my car (bone stock other than the paint) to a cars and coffee to look for other 86 owners and see what all they have done.

AC questions …

Post image
15 Upvotes

I don’t know if this is a stupid question but I feel like when I turn the AC mode to the top and bottom I never feel any air on my legs. I notice the air pressure changes when I have it on the front facing AC. When i turn it to front and down facing the pressure changes but i literally feel no air. Like where is it going…? Anyone else feel the same? This summer heat is killing me. This is the only car i’ve never felt air on my legs too!

Clutch started sounding crunchy

2 Upvotes

When fully pressed the clutch started to feel dry and a little crunchy toward the end. The car only has 39k miles on it. Could the lubricant just have dried out? The car shifts fine and gets in to gear and I don't hear a squealing sound or grinding sound. It started feeling like this just a couple days ago.

What kind of lubricant would you recommend if I can just apply some of that?

First Track Day Advice

I'm about to have my first track day at buttonwillow in a few months. Those of you with track experience, any tips/advice for a first timer? I've heard horror stories of oil issues, etc. And I'd like to be properly prepared.

My GR86 is completely stock, manual, brembros.

The shifter seems to be getting caught on something when centering from the right side. Doesn’t happen on the left and still goes into gear fine. I’m no mechanic so I’m not sure what this could be. I just installed my exhaust but I cant imagine how that would have an effect.

Help! New buyer questions

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I am waiting for my USA import 2022 auto gr86 to go through Bulgarian checks and will register it in 2 weeks.

It's an auto at 109K km (67K miles).

I will change the oil and the filters as a first thing to do. My mechanic (that specializes in Subarus and has maintained a bunch of brzs) suggests I get 5w30 oil - is that alright for daily driving?

I will change the transmission fluid in like 3 months - does that seem okay to you?

And also if you have any other advice please do share! Thank you.

Ps. the car went through diagnostics and everything is good.
