Updated the map database in my nav system. 2013 BRZ, head unit had a 2011 map database installed, from Subaru. Was able to purchase a 2017 map database ($29.95). Install took about 1/2 hour.

Did they charge you labor fees on top of the map database cost?

No, I would have had to charge myself. My billing rate is quite high.

New PWR radiator arrived to replace the Mishimoto.
I decided to change after a tour of the PWR factory with the owner (and watching them build a new Formula 1 Ferrari radiator in front of me...next to another being built for Red Bull)

Clutch pedals do matter if you driving a MT but who gives a "clutch spring" if you're in an AT!!
