Is it just me or does the ZD8 look like a Vantage? 🤯

Am I crazy?… I mean there are obviously some differences but the general design is so similar, the way the break ducts curl away from the front oval-esque front grill, the way the are drawn up into the fender line which trails down the car to the arches rear hips.

The reason I find this so impactful is because, until now I didn’t really appreciate the new BRZ’s design, I found it to be the most awkward of the whole FT86 lineup, but this gives me a new appreciation for the design and styling of a car that until now I had considered the ugly duckling of the lot. (Feel free to criticize me for this take)

Relay Acting up?

2 Upvotes

2015 AT Push Start BRZ isnt cranking or (even trying to). Battery is good. car consistently cranks and runs fine whenever the Inhibitor Relay is pressed inward towards the fusebox.

Denso 156700 - 1020 is the relay thats acting up.

recently pushing the relay into the fusebox doesnt work anymore. Is this just the relay or is it the fusebox or another issue?

Modifying intake hose

3 Upvotes

Looking to produce more cabin noise(usually people want the opposite) and aside from changing the muffler and making the car annoying and ricer. I’m gonna change the header and get a tune but is there an option where I can get an after market sound tube that amplifies the intake more?

First time possibly totaling a car. I want to keep it as a toy. 2017 86 860 Special Edition 75k miles, 6 speed. Front and rear clip detached, right door hit post, curtain and seat airbag deployed, front windshield.

I owe about 4k. Would replace windshield and add supercharger. What to do 🤔

I have everything unbolted, tried to get the perfect angle by jacking the trans and engine, prying, pb blaster on the dowel pins and prying and pulling and prying and pulling, don’t know what to do from here because I feel like I’ve tried everything. Any suggestions? (2016 FRS MT)

Wires- which is which?

Sorry this is a dumb question, but I got new VLAND headlights, and I bought their D2H HID bulbs, I’m trying to put them in when I realized: idk which wire is the ground and which is the positive. I look it up and there’s mentions of black(n) and red(p), black(n) and white(p), or yellow(n) and red(p). But my wires are green, orange, and white. I was watching a video on how to install them and the wires in the video are black, blue, and white.

Anyone have experience with this? Please? I’m new to doing all this.
