I almost never warmed up my car last year. I turned my car on, waited for the revs to drop and off I went. I did plug in my block heater though which helped out a ton.

On another note, I was at the Subaru stealership here in Regina and saw a white brz with what looked like a carbon fiber vinyl wrap on the roof. Was that anyone here?

I have seen that one around a few times, don't know the owner tho


Um, I think I want these


Edit: wait it says to "stick over your part" for install.... So it could just be a cover for existing BRZ's Dang dude

10,000km or 6 months in the manual I believe.

I completely messed up by accident and bought nokya 2500k bulbs but I bought H11 instead of 9005 DRLs. I wanted them for DRLs and i dunno if they will swap them for me. Do you guys think 2500k bulbs will look bad in the projectors?

I dunno, my stock HIDS on my BRZ are 4300K and I upgraded to 6K on both headlights and fogs.

2500K seems like a pretty low temp to me

Amsoil fluid swap on tranny, rear diff and oil change complete!

Definitely a noticeable difference on cold start with shifter during gear changes. Shifts just feel a lot smoother all around...

yeah i wanted them just for my DRLs for looks but I just ordered the wrong ones. oh well just a mistake on my part. Can you get LED bulbs for fogs without replacing the bezel and everything?

Have you ever smoked taillights? I've never done it, I hate the straight black tinted ones I like the really soft dark shade. I just don't wanna mess it up. TOM'S are like 400 bucks and the design isn't really my issue so i figured tinting would be an easier method.

No I always go aftermarket tails. I just sold my smoked Crystal Eye tails last week. You should have jumped on those, they had a really nice light tint.

I would go for those if you want a smoked lens. But I have no experience tinting stock tails, although a lot guys do go this route

Happy Thanksgiving and thanks to some local guys for picking up a few mods from me

@SkAsphalt picked up the side skirts and rear spats
@MrJesse picked up the Tom's tails and STi front lip

You guys should have your stuff in the next couple of days!

I have no tail lights! Well stock ones, but I can't go back to stock. Maybe I should try some Valenti's until my Buddy Club tails show up

I feel like if i tint them I can always remove it. I want to mod my car more but since I drive it in winter lips, coils and such seem like a waste of money. my car gets fixed nov 5th so I think I'm gonna do my tails after.
