- Give yourself some time to learn your car, it’s all about muscle memory and listening to your engine, try to make the ride as smooth as possible. It might not be smooth at first, but try to be in the right RPM range after you shift. - I would say my biggest challenge was dropping the revs to the right rpm range, apart from rev matching (not heel toe, just blipping the throttle) - Make sure your shifting hand is always pointing to where you wanna go, e.g., you’re in 4th and wanna go 5th, position your hand to the bottom left of the shifter and push up and right. Work first on getting your shifts right (not going into wrong gear), then you can slowly incorporate some throttle blipping on downshifts to make your ride smoother.
I have 20k miles on my gr86. As a first time manual driver go easy my man. Take good care of that clutch and transmission. Learn how to heel toe through youtube and just focus on get good, clean, smooth shifts moving up the gears and eventually down the gears through heal toe. Have fun!
First time for everything; don't practice this on public busy roads, find a closed empty parking space and practice doing donuts. Donuts are an easy start to see how your vehicle reacts to throttle and steering inputs. Even better if it rains in your area so it's easier for the car to slip without burning the tires.
Yes, just a muffler delete. Even the the stock exhaust system you can notice very subtle pops when you rev match sometimes, so adding an exhaust system amplifies that sound.
I don’t, I asked the dealer to check when I first got it. They told me RTV issues are mostly in the American market, I’m in Canada. idk how true that is, but I haven’t had any issues so far (12,000 km)
This depends on things like your tires, current gear and rpm. I was relatively in a low rpm range which is why I kicked the clutch. Kicking the clutch is usually not recommended especially in the dry and with sticky tires. Needless to say using the clutch is also way less predictable because it immediately unsettles the car. If you’re in an rpm range where your torque is good to get a drift going, then no need for the clutch.
@@tougeos Thanks for the explanation, that's what I thought too. My first reaction would be kicking the gas pedal to start a drift in 2nd gear, but you are spot on.
@@inikkor520 love it so far, it’s been around two months since I got it done. Daily driving in the city and highway, very little drone on highway, nothing unbearable. Tbh it doesn’t sound like a muffler delete because it’s not raspy or cheap, best part is the pops on rev match
so nice of the passenger to handle all of the pedals even while filming
Lol ikr
lmfao
😂😂😂😂😂
LOL😂
Love seeing more spirited drivers getting their hands on the new twins, keep it up and stay safe. You just got another sub
Thank you for the support man, much appreciated💪
@@tougeos of course! You mind me asking what kind of mount you use and where you put it?
@@ZN8BD sure it’s just my iPhone, stuck between the headrest and backrest of the passenger’s seat
absolutely the best POV of BRZ street Drifting I've see! keep it up and stay safe
First thing I did when I got my exhaust for my GR was to get rid of the fake engine noise, super easy def recommended
how did you remove it?
You should definitely look into turning the fake active sound off! thats the first thing i did when i got mine back in january haha
Just be careful on public roads with traffic my guy. Can always have some fun on an empty parking lot too 😉
Love the camera angle in your vids. Subscribed! Thank you for uploading..
Just came back to check. Your channel has been doing extremely well 👍
I’m glad you’re keeping track of my progress😎
Love it! Can’t wait to ge toast the break in period so I can push my brz more
I was always tempted during my break-in period, it only gets better. Congrats on your brz!
@@tougeos haha I couldn’t resist did some donuts tonight! 810 miles on it!! Almost there
@@ditermejia6027 that’s fine man trust me you’re breaking in better than 99% of 86/brz owners😂
@@tougeos haha but so far I love this car!!
@@ditermejia6027 it’s still hella fun to drive it slow when you drive an MT
Goddamn I need to see more. Subscribed!
This looks fun can’t wait to get my dream car 🙌🏾
Thanks man and good luck!
man you rev match so well
bro please teach me to drive lol
more of these fs! u gotta sub
just got my 2023 in white any tips on driving this car for my first manual????

wow dude, do you have a short shifter installed or stock shifter?
It’s the stock shifter
I'm too scared to try this 😭

Even better if it rains in your area so it's easier for the car to slip without burning the tires.
🥵
Still have no clue how you got that angle and stability with just phone stuck between headrest and seat 😭😭
Hahah guess I’m lucky it works with the BRZ, you can’t do it in all cars
@@tougeos i have one too!!! that’s why i’m so confused I tried and it keeps falling down lmao
Do you have stability AND traction off? I noticed if you hold trac off it does both…
Yessir this is what I do, hold the trac off, so both are off
How are you getting the pops from your exhaust? Just a catback?
Yes, just a muffler delete. Even the the stock exhaust system you can notice very subtle pops when you rev match sometimes, so adding an exhaust system amplifies that sound.
Can i know the exhaust and its cost?
Sure, it’s a custom muffler delete done at a local shop where I live.
Depends on where you live but it cost me around 350 USD.
Do you have any rtv problems? Thanks!
I don’t, I asked the dealer to check when I first got it.
They told me RTV issues are mostly in the American market, I’m in Canada. idk how true that is, but I haven’t had any issues so far (12,000 km)
Curious at 1:42 if the clutch is needed to start drifting? Great driving and stay safe!

@@tougeos Thanks for the explanation, that's what I thought too. My first reaction would be kicking the gas pedal to start a drift in 2nd gear, but you are spot on.
do u just turn the traction control off, the drift mode or do u pull a fuse for the abs
Traction off, i just hold the button
What tires you drifting on?
Blizzak WS90
Why are you going to 5th gear on back roads lmfao
What exhaust do you have?
It’s a custom muffler delete from a local shop, just the rear muffler replaced with straight pipes
@@tougeos any droning? How do you like it?
@@inikkor520 love it so far, it’s been around two months since I got it done.

@@tougeos I love the pops it makes on downshifts! I will do the same on my future GR86, these things are so much fun! :)
@@MiataND3 much recommended man, good luck
