I doubt your car's gears will be able to feel any difference ....

Please don't encourage that again, yuck. It looked like a 5-year old put together a "Darth Vader" edition using old spaceship parts from the 90's. 5-axis did it right. It should always start conservative and allow ricers to rice from there.

Couldn't agree more, Toyota learned that lesson with the celica.



I wouldn't be surprised if the FRS sales tail off similarly, I'm surprised it's still selling strongly even though there are 18 sitting on the local lot unsold, but they're a shitty dealer.

I found something I hate today about the frs/brz

Checking the oil is a pain in the ass

Dipstick is not accurate..even a light decline or incline on a road surface will give you an incorrect reading

Im not gonna bother topping it off cause I don't know how much is in there right now.

Guess ill hold off till my first oil change and know exactly how much oil ill put in and not worry about checking the level !

Yeah, my driveway is a very slight incline, and the oil is currently reading a half inch above the second hole in the dipstick. Not sure where I can find a perfectly level spot to check it.

A gas station.

Maybe a gas station?

Ill try and check my oil next time I fill my gas

[Young_makaveli]

Ok I actually went to fill up today and made sure the surface was levelled.

So I verified the oil level and it reads full

To make sure I checked 3 times lol

So yeah guys ..just make sure the frs/brz is on an even ground to get the most accurate reading

Same RPM's as auto would be great and obviosly it could handle it

Auto gear ratios are different than the manual.

That's what he's saying, he wishes the 6th gear was taller for cruising like it is in the Automatic. It isn't a difficult concept...

In any case, my Manual has a taller 6th than the Miata, I think it does a decent job, going remove the soundtube soon though.
