Did you see any mpg difference between brands?

TBH and no pun intended, I stopped paying attention to that a while ago. I suppose someone else who cares can chime in. Currently, finding a Shell on long drives OR filling up with Shell before a long drive is more of a concern.

Historically, Chevron has had lesser mpg than the other brands in my other cars.

Interesting. Always been the other way around for my Yaris. Chevron gave the highest. But I agree, seems like Shell is harder to find. Lol

I went to Auto Mall Tint in Fremont. Not cheap (I got a combo of 3M Color Stable in the back three at 5% and 3M Crystalline on the door windows and A-pillar windows at 70%). Great work and great film.

When did everyone replace their MTF on their twins?

I've just had some difficulty knifing through a line of traffic, no one could see my turn signals. Strange design flaw: BRZ turn signals are mounted so near the center of the car they can't be seen from the side.

And I missed the boat on the corner marker/turn signal conversion wiring harness from Japanparts!

With less than 1k miles on it. MTF2 is so worth it.

I've thought about that as well... just kinda poorly designed.

Yeah, Greg actually let me stay in the install bay

That was nice since I hate other people touching/working on my car.

Wow, very quick. I need to get another quart of Amsoil 75w-90 MTF. I only have two, and I guess we need 2.3 quarts???
