AE86s are light and low-powered enoughthey don’t go through tires too fast.
I track my AE86, and generally my Falken Azenis RT615Ks will last around 5 track days with normal driving in between.
I got my Yaris gear oil changed from Toyota earlier this month. The whole service costed me like 45k which included wheel balancing, brake service, oil change, spark plug cleaning yada yada. 50k must be for the complete service which Toyota usually recommends at 40k.
I just finished an exhausting research session since I am replacing the original rotors on my 2006 Tacoma (got over 200k miles on those and they're still okay, but getting close to needing replacement).I've heard pretty much universally good things about Wagner and Bosch. Other brands like Raybestos and Powerstop, some people have good things to say, some don't.In the end I went with OEM rotors I got straight from Toyota. I'm pretty sure the OEM manufacturer is Advics, and you can get the same rotors from Rock Auto. They're the in the 'high carbon' category and are a little pricier than the "daily driver' price/quality category you see on RA's website. I got them for around the same price as RA, but direct from the dealer; you have to shop around because some dealers will charge the full MSRP, while some have ~25% off MSRP on nearly all their parts.In short, if you want to stay as close to original as possible, my vote is for Advics rotors and Akebono pads. I was pretty happy with the longevity of my original rotors so decided to stick with my 'tried and true' experience.
I'm now at 120k miles. Still have over 4mm on both the front and rear pads, and the rotors look fine. So that's at least 50k miles I'll get out of a set of OEM brakes, but I expect more like 75k. 6 speed hatchback if it makes any difference.
I can't imagine a situation where I replace them with anything other than OEM Toyota parts. They've lasted an impressive amount of time, rarely squeak, and don't make any dust.
I bought a Koyorad radiator for my 2003 Toyota Sequoia and worked out perfect!
I recently replaced the radiator on my 2002 Toyota 4Runner and used a Denso replacement part. It looks identical to the original.
I refused to install anything but a koyorad
i went with Raybestos Element, after reading they performed OK, and the price is fairly inexpensive. so far OK with minor issues. during installation, i shaved a hair off the pad material and the pad ears to get them to fit not as tightly. and after installation, the pad sometimes makes a click sound when changing direction of travel, or sudden acceleration after a complete stop. i think the pad is moving around in its mount and making a sound. did some searching and this might even happen with OEM to some people. i added more grease to the pad backing, noise went away for a few weeks, but later returned.
The radio wouldn’t connect to my phone Intermittently & they wouldn’t fix it with my extended warranty until it completely stopped working. It’s been on back order over a month.
Gates water pumps have been going downhill. I bought one for a Toyota Rav4 v6 and it started leaking after two months of service.
