Installed this. Yes there is a screw missing. Grimmspeed decided not to thread that hole so I have to find a tap and fix it later. Other than that took like 20 minutes to swap in.

Treated her to an early Xmas present today: camber bolts to tuck in the top of front wheels, Takeda CAI and finally an Ecutek tune to tidy up the running having previously installed Tomei UEL, Milltek OP and Berk fast cat..

Drove my buddy's turbo BRZ and fell in love. Set a new goal for the BRZ to have a turbo kit purchased by this time next year, and have it boosted by March 2019.

BRAAAAAAP-WHOOOOOOOSSHHHH coming soon

Today I installed the OEM 2017 Tails Lights. I was happy with my TOMs, until one of the LED's burned out in the strip.

Loaded the OFT v2.x Stage 1 91 octane tune to my BRZ today, definitely an improvement

Also raised the idle to 800 which is kind of nice.

EDIT: I manually set the idle in RomRaider, the OFT tune doesn’t have an 800rpm idle.

What setting on RomRaider is it? I've been having issues with OFTs Stage 2 tune and I want to raise Idle a little.

There were 6 tables under the Idle Control section, called Idle Speed Target A through Idle Speed Target F.

I just set all the values (in every table) that were less than 800, to 800. So now the lowest it will idle is 800 (but the higher idle when cold is unchanged).

I found a lot of good information regarding tuning in the links in @steve99 's signature.

You can't really beat OEM quality in my mind

EDIT: Wait for them to go on sale though. They're not worth the full price. I bought my used for 450.
