Thanks. I painted my power braces and tried to torque the nuts but my torque wrench minimum is 10ft/lbs. I felt like I was over tightening the nuts so I just tightened it and gave it a little tug.

Hey question for you guys, are any of you running FI? or did everyone here pretty much stay NA?

Hey, that would be my car! Were you driving the Red BRZ or the orange FRS?

Orange FRS.

Yeah I tried to make the BRZ work as a second car but with the WRX sedan running full time kid hauler it quickly runs out of space when you have to leave the house for more than a few hours. The BRZ hasnt been worth the hassle either unfortunately...thats what I keep telling myself haha. Anyone know anything about Toyota 4runners? I'll have the stage 2 WRX for a fun car still

Wish I had a $1000 jeep or something. This winter will be fun in the BRZ

Ahh right on, kinda new to the twin club do you guys do many meets or anything like that?

Candlejack · 07-27-2014, 11:53 PM

Get on the Fbook page. We're looking to start a monthly-meet. Probably Ann Arbor. We had one a weeks ago...

@lithiumion is boosted on a SBD turbo kit. I've inquired about what he's done as far as tuning, but I haven't received an answer yet.

I'm eyeballing turbo kits right now, but I think my best bet for the features and safety I want is going to be ECUtek. I'm bummed about that because I've always had the cheap option of Tactrix and a CarberryROM on my WRX's.

Unlike everyone selling I have just kinda checked out on moding mine I'm pretty sure where it is now is where it's going to stay until I get tired of it and sell it. As far as the 4 runner goes they are pretty gutless in comparison to their American competition but they are a step up from a mini van. They are also horrible on gas toyota claims 17mpg but when I drove one I didn't see 14mpg.
