Then, when you get to the bottom, the object hits the bottom and stops moving down but there's still gas in there, just not enough to keep it afloat.

Or maybe I'm crazy?

Not crazy at all. Only bitches be crazy.

The needle most certainly does NOT stop at the red line.

Kids Heart · 07-01-2014, 12:44 PM

Ive taken the needle well below the e line and still only filled 12.4 gallons.

Freude am Fahren · 07-01-2014, 01:01 PM

I knew the limit of the needle, because the first time i test drove a BRZ, it was already a couple mil below the empty line, heh. I always try to fill up as soon as the light comes on or before though. Paranoid about any possible floating debris getting near the pickup.

Thank you! I'm still working with a friend of mine who is a jeweler to design the ring - it should be ready in a few weeks. I already plunked down for the diamond, though... yowzas.

When the day finally arrives, I'll for sure make a post about it since the BRZ is definitely the best way to get to Mt. Rainier

According to Fuelly.com and hand figuring it came out to the same numbers.

What suspension setup are you running?

BC Racing Extreme Drop with 8k spring rates. I don't have LCAs or anything yet with it.

Dropped my car off at Subaru for Crickets TSB. (2nd attempt to fix) and they ordered my drivers window switch finally. Car was there last week and think they may have scratched my 1 of my Gram Lights pretty bad..... That or a sewer cap sticking up since the road by me is completely ripped up for work......

I did a wheelie in my BRZ today. I think I hit the sweet spot because when I let go of the clutch the front end came off the ground and stayed up for about 1/10 of a mile.

Ganthrithor · 07-01-2014, 08:15 PM

Welp.

Took my car down to the shop today and had them install a replacement for the leaking exhaust gasket on my catback. Picked the car up and it sounded OK at first, then the leaking noise came back. Threw it on the lift again and:

She's dead, Jim.

Crack is in pretty much the same spot as the last one that broke:

Hopefully Milltek will replace it again. They were very helpful last time and replaced it very promptly and at zero cost to me. I do wonder if I should ask them for a non-resonated replacement though. There's less stuff to break on a straight pipe.

Better get on that man, you probably have some nasty stance camber.
