Do it! I've had so much fun with this build & it doesn't really change driving dynamics. Feels stock behind the wheel. Best of both worlds!

Thanks!

@@ThePedalDance Awesome! Thanks for the reply. Getting a new '24 GR86 in the upcoming months and want to get all accessories ready for when I get it!

Love popcorn :)

You'll fit. I'm taller than that. I don't fit in the ND Miata.

@@ThePedalDance thanks brother

Glad you like them!

Will do!

​@@ThePedalDanceThank you very much!

Disagree. It's all about creating muscle memory & good habits.

@@ThePedalDance if you don’t track it’s pointless

​@@tone3560 I do but still disagree. It is important for car control. I would encourage anyone willing, to get comfortable rev-matching, then learn heel toe. The best way to do that is practice & most people do the majority of their driving on the street.

@@ThePedalDance I can move my feet fast enough to rev match and brake. The milliseconds I would save actually heel toeing would be a negligible gain.

Definitely! I drive this car in harsh winter conditions and it hasn't let me down. There's a bunch of snow driving videos on my channel if you want to check it out.

I love it. This is my second BRZ. 10/10 for me

Can confirm :)

I got "stuck" once but on a road that was not maintained and I shouldn't have been there. Was able to self-recover in about 15min with just an avalanche shovel. So I don't really count it as being truly stuck. My confidence in the car with this setup has only increased the more I push its limits.

@@ThePedalDance that's reassuring to hear, time to get myself a brz then 🤣

@@aujourduy7795 you won’t regret it. Tires are everything. RWD just requires a little more thought & attention. Being lightweight & having limited slip differential helps immensely. It’s very easy to control & scrub speed. My stopping distances are much shorter than heavier 4x4 / AWD vehicles. For decades, police drove exclusively RWD cars & tires technology wasn’t what is today. If you can’t run studs in your state, I suggest Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 or Michelin Ice-X on 16in or 17in wheels.

I absolutely love it. Only way I’d ever go is if I had two 86 chassis’. One safari & one grip build. The 1.5in ADF lift isn’t expensive & install is easy. The most expensive thing would be new wheels and tires but you could get them used. Also 16in tires are way cheaper than bigger sizes.

I can’t get enough!

I hear you but sometimes you don’t have a choice. Outback on Blizzaks had no problems. Also prepared to get myself unstuck or spend the night in the car. Recovery gear, extra clothes, food, water, power, heat, etc.

It takes practice, you’ll get there! The right shoes can definitely help. I have big but not wide feet & pedals are perfectly spaced for me, can even do this barefoot. I use the ball of my foot on brake pedal, which gives me the most control over pedal pressure. As you can see in the video, there’s not a lot of “heel” involved with my technique but more the side of foot. This is a common method for many drivers. Keep at it :)

Nothing much in this video other than fake sound unplugged. I might have done MTEC clutch spring when this was filmed. Now it has ADF 1.5in lift, Sparco Terra 16in wheels with Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 Studded Tires, and some other stuff. Full mods listed in more recent videos.

You’re right. 275/70r17 BFG KO2’s. They were good in the snow for a while but not close to performance of proper winter tires. Some Blizzak DM-V2 would be much better in this weather.

Friday-Worst Encore. I remember leaving a show and having a highly enlightening conversation with my friend about how could Phish could sit backstage after a show and say "Hey, I gotta great idea, lets play 'Friday' as a single encore" and think it was a legitimate good idea.

@@rishikesh1087 I love the Friday jam at the end of the song, and the energy they put into it can make or break it live. The early 2000’s were a low point for their live shows, but they’ve been on fire and returned to form ever since they reunited for the second time.

Stock exhaust. Had to use extended exhaust cushions for the back box to clear subframe. Hangers are on lowest level but I think they can come up a bit. They each have 3 or 4 holes for height options. Pretty sure the two rear hangers / cushions could come up a hole or two.

I don’t fit in a Miata

Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying the S2k year-round. That’s what I’m talking about! IMO, lightweight RWD cars with proper winter tires are underrated in the snow. When equipped with limited slip diffs, they are capable of things I didn’t think possible, until recently.

Agree, AWD isn’t everything. I also drive an Outback with new Blizzaks when there is too much snow accumulation on the roads for the BRZ and/or Level 2 Chain Law in Effect on mountain passes. Outback Blizzak combo is excellent, don’t get me wrong. However, when the roads are icy or slippery and ground clearance isn’t an issue, I have much more confidence in the BRZ with studded tires. Braking and/or quickly changing directions is far superior in the lightweight car. I will admit, the story likely would be different if the Outback also had Nokian Studded tires… Also, I’ve lived in areas where road salt was everywhere and owned a 4Runner that suffered from salt exposure. It’s the worst! Krown Rust Control is the best solution I’ve found for salt protection.

@@ThePedalDance I'll look into Krown. Got a BRZ and STI to protect. Xterra is prectically hopless now, but I'll try to salvage what I can there. Can't give up on a manual truck )))

Love the garage! Nice lineup. I always have an eye out for a manual 3rd gen 4Runner. Krown is about $150 per vehicle and they recommend having it sprayed once per year. After a few years of application, the car is basically rustproof. Canadian company, so they definitely know about rust protection. They are mostly located in the Midwest, Canada, and some of New England.

Did this exact thing in my video: “Deep Snow Limits of Lifted Subaru BRZ”

Thank you! Cheers!

Cannot recommend it highly enough! Edit: As I’m sure you know, one benefit of cars like Miata & BRZ is inexpensive consumables. That’s one reason I dropped to a 16” wheel. Years ago, I had a 1st gen BRZ & bought used set of Cooper winter tires on 16x7 Legacy GT wheels for $200 mounted & balanced. I don’t necessarily recommend buying used tires. However, new Blizzak and Michelin X-Ice Snow are available for roughly $500 in 205/50r16 or 195/60r16. Personally I’d do 195/60r16 on OEM mx5 wheels. Perhaps 2001-2003 Miata 16x6.5" 5 Spoke Twist.

Thank you! Cheers!

Love the GR Yaris! I’ve had a refundable deposit on GR Corolla for about a year now but I’m very happy with the BRZ :)
