Took mine in for the same things today. They couldn't repro the chirping or idle issues, and no codes were thrown, so I'm gonna try and snag some video next time and take it in again. My nav issues are Bluetooth only though.

Took the neighbor who taught me how to drive stick in his old truck out for a spin in my car

Glad to see I'm not the only one! Please let us know what they find

hit 500 miles today, just finished washing and waxing her with some tlc

DeepHunta · 07-06-2012, 11:03 PM

I hit 1000 miles yesterday and I made my first "mod" to the car:

Dropped in a K&N Air Filter! OH yeah, I gained like 50hp

More like 0.5hp.

Got rid of that paper filter, what a useless thing. Now the car can breathe with the right filter.

Thursday: installed JDM exhaust tips
Friday: installed prototype Swift spring for R&D
Today: swapped trunk lid with a forum member's Scion to get the spoiler-less look
Tomorrow: install JDM clear side markers

OMNOM · 07-08-2012, 07:00 AM

Got the windows tinted on my DGM yesterday. 35% looks good.

DeepHunta · 07-08-2012, 05:45 PM

hand washed it today for the first time. squeaky clean

michaelahess · 07-08-2012, 06:00 PM

Great pics!

jimbobrand · 07-08-2012, 08:39 PM

Got a ticket for 10 over on the highway today and scraped the font bumper on a curb and curbed the front passenger wheel on Friday while taking some friends to the Riverwalk. This hasn't been my weekend.

speedracer38 · 07-08-2012, 08:42 PM

Went on a drive with 4 WRB BRZs and I was driving my SWP BRZ feeling like the odd man out haha! I put about 3-400 miles on my car today alone

Lytheum · 07-08-2012, 09:24 PM

finally made the 180 mile trip to 2 different pep boys for my exhuast tips. think it was well worth the 5 hours it took! Then another 5 minutes to install them. made for a nice sunday road trip.

Delta Region autocross.

speedracer38 · 07-09-2012, 08:51 PM

I just hardwired my V1 into the wiring for my auto dimming mirror and it powers up with the car and off with the car with the cord running up behind my mirror and into the headliner

cobrabyte · 07-09-2012, 09:00 PM

- Installed the two underbody rubber plugs that my dealer forgot to install during PDI. You might find these in your glove box (like I did).
- Enabled the factory alarm system.
- Added 50ml of 2-stroke oil to fuel tank to kill the angry DI pump crickets.
- Ordered Perrin crankshaft pulley.
- Attempted to install Cusco drift button -- don't think that's going to happen. No instructions and our e-brake design doesn't allow for easy removal of stock button.

Can you post a link to the underbody plug thread along with what you mean about enabling the factory alarm? Thanks!

GMU-BRZ · 07-09-2012, 09:50 PM

Drove 8 hours on interstates. Decided that's a little far for me.

Here's the link to the alarm thread : http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11049

As for the plugs, I remember seeing it here and checked my glove box for the baggy. The plugs go over the holes used to tie-down the car during shipping (I guess). They are about 6" from the side of the car on both sides and about 6 to 12" in front of the rear wheels.
