Anyone want to buy a set of 2013 OEM wheels with almost new tires? I sold my BRZ back in October and these are just taking up space.

I'm just north of downtown Fort Worth.

No thank you. The Mini I rented in Germany had that and I wasn't a fan at all. Maybe if I was running a dual-clutch paddle shifter car with tons of power but not on a manual stick.

Who all is going to Cars and Coffee this coming Saturday? I plan to debut my new wheels and other mods (including the massive door ding some asshole gifted me on Friday ��).

I'm so tempted to start running E85 now that I have a second vehicle but there aren't many stations I my area that offer it.

I want to get to Cars and Coffee again but have a lot of international travel coming up for work. May is the next "first Saturday" I'll be in town.

I have the OFT header with Perrin header-back, resonated front pipe. Sounds great, no drone. Loud on cold starts but I fit right in with all the monster trucks in the neighborhood.

I'm on the 1.59 and am having the same problem after more than a month. I feel like I have to rev up much higher to avoid bogging down, and slip the clutch quite a bit, too.

I was hoping 1.6 would...

Going from Stage 1 (Perrin header-back) to the OFH with Stage 2 tune I felt a fairly significant difference in power.

If a professional shop takes 2-3 hours to install this header you picked the wrong shop. It took my buddy 60-90 minutes with the car on jack stands.

Shiv responded in the OFT thread; it's engaged based on speed. Over 6 MPH it's disabled completely.

My friend and I installed my headerback there. Only complaint was they didn't have jack spacers that were low-enough profile but nothing a little muscle couldn't overcome.
