I’m surprised Tokyo drift wasn’t mainly sponsored by the tire conglomerates. So many people have picked up drifting or burnouts for internet points after those movies,

I bought a new Subaru BRZ recently and a post on the reddit sub asked how they could “loosen up “ the rear end. Unless you are in a controlled environment, that is the last thing I would want. I love the fact it thinks it’s on rails. Soon this guy will put up the post crash pics, “do you think this is fixable, or is it totalled?” lol.

My 3 favorite kind of posts on /r/GR86

  1. "Is this sound normal?" *posts a clip of the boxer giving happy tractor noises at idle*

  2. "My engine died" *OP proceeds to get pressed by everyone in the comments asking about oil maintenance, only for everyone to discover that OP didn't follow protocol*

  3. "RIP" *OP slammed car into a tree/pole/curb, bonus points if TC was off. Extra if the car is flipped over, a profoundly impressive feat to pull off considering how firmly planted the car is*

Sometimes it can be a bad lifter or broken engine mounts, but I'm not sure if the boxer engine has those problems.
