So I have learned that the GT86 is slower than the other cars in it's segment. How do you make one faster? What are some reliable upgrades so that I can make it faster without fucking the engine up?

I actually love how it looks better than a Miata or anything else in it's class.
>How do you make one faster?
By staying off the brakes. 100% of 200hp is more than enough to fill your pants with shit.
Dude just supercharged it bro. Dude lmao I know it's already got 12:1 compression but dude lmao it's just a bolt on
Stop typing like a retard.
>How do you make one faster?
You don't if you have a warranty. If you don't feel free to piss away your money.
Jesus christ that is higher than an BMW S54. Well I guess if Jackson Racing has a warranty...
Slower in terms of 0-60, or tracking in general? If you're looking for highway pulls, buy another car. If you're stubborn, buy the Jackson supercharger.
>tracking in general
stop this meme. it's not even that great of a handling car.
>gets constantly compared to a 458
>not great handling
kek, in what? a fucking figure 8 on aftermarket tires? bwahahaha. this car has been shit since day one.
Got any proof of that? It has more performance based awards than any other car I can think of since 2012.
who cares about miata-class cars? nobody every has compared it to a 458 sober.
Just do the usual upgrades when prepping for boost and drop in a bolt on supercharger. Done. The 86 twins will hold ~7-10lbs reliably. Transmission is more likely to die before the engine does.
Majority rwd coupe marketshare cares. I'm not
I've never seen it compared to the 458.
I'm still waiting for you to show me why it's a bad handling car.
>prius tires
>mediocre stamped sheetmetal control arm components
>shitty factory shocks requiring replacement
>its so slow no RWD fanboy considers it unless its their first car
I respect it as a RWD shitbox for those who can't buy a car without a loan, but the car simply blows. One test drive left me laughing.
Jackson racing supercharger tho changes things, once you build up the rest of the car...or you could buy something better used.
>He can't afford a $25k car + 10k in mods
What a poorfag.
Own one, I just started with a better car.
10k is my DD shitbox bruh.
>stamped sheet metal control arms
I didn't know this.

Wow they didn't even try. Even an ME intern could have fixed that.
>he can't afford the new version of his shitbox
What a poorfag
>complaining about companies taking cost saving measures to save money so you can afford to buy their car
The entire point of the Toyobaru is to be a cheap RWD coupe.
Griffon upgrade package.
There are other cars in the same class?
Only one I can sort of think of is the MX5?
>people talking about how well a car handles as if any comparison of speed on the street wont be in a stoplight drag race
Buy a motorcycle. Never drive your car except during the winter and for getting heavy things. Sell your car. Get an SUV. Start offroading. Replace your motorcycle with a dual sport. Listen to country. Change your name to mason tyler-pickett bell dixon. Start wearing suspenders. Learn to play the banjo. Be putting down the highway one day with your banjo strapped to your back and yell at someone in a supercharged 86 for "drivin like a dang a-hole! darnit!".
Go home and cry while your cousin and three children milk a goat.
i would mod a car but 10k mods on a 25k car?
im not making a show build that much money sounds absolutely retarded
Tires right up from the start
Why do you think this matters?
There's tons of bolt on 91 and ethanol kits.
All stock control arms are weak with longitudinal loading..that's why you box them.
I don't know of a single stock control arm that doesn't get boxed before being seriously tracked.
Not trying to meme here but, isn't the BRZ slightly better than the 86? A lot of car """"experts"""" label it as being better all around than the 86. I always assumed it was just the same car different brand name.
>In 2015, Subaru sold just over 5,200 BRZ
>Scion sold over 10,000 FR-S
Just looking at the numbers, the FRS sells much better but I have no idea why.
>So I have learned that the GT86 is slower than the other cars in it's segment
Fact check. That's with a substancial tyre advantage to the MX5 as well, given most people track on a second set of wheels and the GT86 is held back (deliberatly) by grip for fun you can expect an even bigger delta in favor of the cheaper car.
>delta
cringe
The 86 has a slightly higher and stiffer rear end setup than the BRZ making it a little more drifty, where as the BRZ is a little more "tame" at the limits. They also have diferent ECU maps but so far no one knows what is actualy different.
It's part of the global deal between Subaru and Toyota that limits the number of BRZs sold. I belive it is now a 4:1 ratio.
Didint pass 3rd grade math.
If I had to guess I'd say it's because of the front bumper. FRS looks mean, Subaru is like a jolly retard.
>pretentious
currently calc 3 fedora tipper.
next time just say change.
Ih I'm sorry I'm an engineer let me explain to the uneducated. Delta is a greek symbol used to denote the diferance between two values, For example delta Q denotes the inequality between wheel loadings actross a vehicle on unevenground.
>sorry I'm an engineer
you're a sophomore at community college. we've all taken physics you ignoramus we know what greek letters mean.
t. I drive a big american truck
>tfw pro game dev
>nobody believes me but other devs who know
It's pointless being knowledgable on Veeky Forums. as soon as you have credentials and knowledge to back your arguments up, everyone thinks you're a fedoratipper
>I took freshman physics so now im real smart
cringe
Or you could just buy a slightly used 370Z or a mint late S2K and own something superior in every way straight away.
Hence why you buy an actual good car rather than modding a shit one
Aww buthurt 17 year old who will bring in less over his life than I do a year.
>game dev
That explains why you're autistic enough to unironically use delta in this context.
At least I'll have friends.
Enjoy using delta completely out of context and thinking you're smart while every other person in the room who has at least made it through 1 year of college cringes.
>new front end
>Mom passes me the spaghetti o's
>Hmm yes ds/dt = v(t)
>At least I'll have friends.
Doubtfull, you will still be in your mom's basement at the age of 5 being too stupid to get a job, a house or any form of meiningful relationship outside that contractualy obliged by blood.
Enjoy your life as a failure.
you should calculate the rate in change of friendship with respect to how many times you use delta in everyday speech LMAO
On stock tires no, but if you put real tires on it it's a whole different level.
Given most of my freands are also Uin graduats, I calculate the change to be about double your IQ per use so about 3/5's of bugger all.
aftermarket supercharger for basic hp boost
then big turbo
then engine swap
i'd stick with the supercharger if i had one
mate you can't even speak English.
Doubt you even have a job.
>slower than the other cars in it's segment
If by segment you mean price segment and by slower you mean in terms of acceleration, highway elasticity and top speed, you should just get a FiST.
>>people talking about how well a car handles as if any comparison of speed on the street wont be in a stoplight drag race
Let me guess, you live where the roads look like pic related.
Look we get it you feel inadequate when people do not speak down to your level. I unfortunately have some bad news for you we don't care. You aren’t important enough for a single fuck to be given about never mind a full flying fuck. Yes I know you were brought up on a diet of being spoon feed that you are special and important but you aren’t you are at best mediocre and you will never amount to more than that, I’m sorry to have to break this hard truth to you but it’s better now than you continue to labour under the misapprehension you will ever be more than a McEmployee with no job or life satisfaction. While I’m at it I can give you another little life lesson you probably need to know, Father Christmas isn’t real, nor is the Easter bunny or god.
>the other cars in it's segment
Which ones ?
Harsh man. Probably spot on but still harsh.
The real question is: Can you DORIFUTO with it?
Are you retarded or what? I've taken calculus and classical mechanics. I know what the fuck delta means. My degree requires more math than yours.
If you use delta in regular conversation any time you want to express change or a difference. You are legit a moron.
Samefag
not even professors say delta unless they are specifically referencing a math expression.
So much fail from one post. You realy are stupid arn't you?
Clearly
>highschool drop outs who watch engineering explained
>samefag
Nope just somone else calling you out on being an idiot.
Aww looks like the baby has had a nerve hit didums
You used delta incorrectly and autistically.
Probably because you have a CS degree and a limited applied maths background.
Compared to what, 25 year old FDs?
I have a physics degree and you are a fucking retard
Would you please get a trip so those of us with actual qualifications don't have to suffer your ignorance.

Until someone offers a $15k new RWD anything, there are no "cheap" options on the market.
honestly, I like the jolly retard front end more
LS Swap, Coyote swap...
Basically any engine swap.
2JZ swap.
>Complaining that a car designed for the togue isn't quick on the interstate where your other fat friends race Camaros and mustangs
grow up
Dude, you can barely buy a new fwd car for 15k.
You are stuck in the year 2010
1zz swap
Shit chart
>conveniently leaves out 0-60 time where a fucken miata BTFOs the 86
LS swap is the obvious answer
Wrong
I think that still falls under "basically any engine swap".
Honestly i think the new front end makes it look more like the corolla than ever before.
>head directly under dash
That seems really annoying to work on, despite being a beams.
Get a supercharger for ~6 grand.
It's that simple.
The only other one IS the MX5. The Camaro and Mustang are a distinct step up and their price reflects that.
This. 15k new will buy you an FWD with around 100HP at redline, and no air conditioning.
86/BRZ is 26k, Base model Camaro/Mustang are 26k. Are they similar cars, absolutely not besides being RWD coupes but pony cars are faster in any metric and come better equipped.
i might the 2017 brz with performance pack solely on looks alone
The FRS sells better because it HAS to sell better via the Toyota/Subaru arrangement
push it off a cliff
its a future classic
sad how they never got a factory turbo option but Subaru and Toyota have been dropping that ball for decades now
Do it. People are already getting money off invoice on the performance package.
Toyota cant have a car outperform their Lexus powerplants, which already have their own issues.
But atleast they had to foresight to not completely ditch port injector(s) with their fuel system.
Subaru cant have a lighter,smaller car with a turbod engine similar to their beloved WRX either.
Shame, but the bean counters and higher ups on both sides cant and wouldnt let it happen.
Unless by some miracle they make decide to go in on a supercharger.
Nobody has figured out how to do an engine swap and retain all the factory functions yet. For 10k in mods you would have turbo + supporting mods (400whp on e85), suspension bits, exhaust, 17x9 wheels with sticky 245s. They're depreciating so much so buying a 2013/14 in the mid teens is easy.
The more time passes, the harder it will be to find a clean 86 with a manual transmission.
The majority of these cars get romped on daily.
Its the 240sx dilemma all over again.
Either wait it out and get one on the cheap/clapped out, with the known such issues or get one now and hold it close.
Five words, faggot: torque dip

oops that's three words. Couldn't help myself.
The way he used it was okay, just a bit sloppy and unclear, like his mother was every day while she was pregnant with him.
