Skid plate is only aluminum. No match for a 2600lbs car impacting the ground. I would have thought the bump stops would prevent going that low though.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?

Does an extractor get all the oil in our cars? The dipstick tube needs to be designed for it. It needs to go all the way to the bottom of the pan, which I don’t think it does.

In regards to removing all oil is that better/same/worse that removing the drain plug (aside from being very clean/no chance of cross thread or loose/overtightened plugs)?

Should be pretty much the same. Maybe you'll get very slightly less oil out then if you pull the plug but it's not really gonna matter. Especially considering most cars with oil coolers probably don't get that oil replaced regularly

I looked at mine and tried to be positive, remind myself of all the good things in my life now, and remind myself again that it is just a car.

But was it leaking? Was that the short one?

I extracted the oil through the dipstick tube. Put in 5.5 quarts and I am at the full mark. Did it remove 100%? Not really sure but close enough that it is not an issue. No mess and the extraction took about 2 to 3 minutes.

@Ashikabi my skid plate was pretty beat up too haha. It's pretty much touching the oil pan at this point. I need a new plate and oil pan.

@ermax It was a weird bump that I hit, and the coilovers that are on my car are a prototype set from a company that asked us to test them out, not sure if that has anything to do with it, but they ride pretty horribly, lol.

The valve has been installed for four years prior to this and has been on the car for 80k miles with no issues. It didn't leak at all after the impact.

Anyone felt zenki 86/BRZ steering is lil too heavy? Or while drifting or counter steering, steering get unknown heavy feel to it? Kouki 86/BRZ have resolved the issue by updating the EPS. Good news is, zenki 86/BRZ owner can do the same thing by replacing the EPS w kouki EPS.



Zenki model should have big “G” on it. Kouki model should have “1”... then why is other one have “3” on it? When I google search that part number it said it’s for ‘18 BRZ STI model. Which I’m assuming it’s for tS model (in US, BRZ tS came as ‘18 model). tS or kouki model EPS price was almost same on eBay (+-$5 difference). So thought to test it out if tS model EPS works on zenki model. Answer that question is, yes, it does work.

Work itself took about 30mins. Only 3 bolts, 2 screws & 1 nut to get it off, so why took 30mins? EPS is in very awkward area (behind trunk release & light adjusting buttons), so had to go through several wires with twisting my arm & hand to get those bolts off. If you careful and take your time, it’s not that hard. No, I’m not planning to make DIY, cuz it’s easy mod.

Test drove after installation and yes, there’s a difference in the steering feel. It’s a lot lighter. I prefer zenki power steering weight, but kouki power steering isn’t bad either.

Here’s a vid (if you understand Japanese)

Installed a 3.73 LSD rear end. Went pretty smooth, only took about 40-45 minutes.
Makes the car much more enjoyable on the street with the t56.
