First 3 Days of the FR-S (Deer On Road) - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

One of the things I liked on my tC was that the bottom of the fuel gauge wasn't E for empty, it was R for reserve - which was much closer to the truth.

THIS. I checked mine this morning leaving work, and sure enough, it was set to Tc. Changing it to FR-S made it sound better.

With the radio powered off, push the volume knob until you see a menu pop up. The rest is pretty straight forward (and tbh I dont remember since I was for 27hrs when I did it

)

Boxers have loud heads too.

Beh, some motors are just noisy.
My 2zzge clack clacks all the time, its a normal sound.

Not sure how boxers are but i would have assumed the sound of he FA20 would be more similar to any of the subaru boxers (unless they're all clackity machines)

Thanks for the Info on changing it to FR-S mode, it sounds a lot better now!

Heading up to NY tom for a shwarma and to put some more miles on the car

Hey, I also had a deer thing. A big buck with fuzzy horns, was up on Empire Grade, the other day. Nothing bad to report. I'am starting to think that we need a deer encounter thread.

Something about the FR-S attracts deer.....

Good thing no deer in south florida, only stupid drivers.

That clicking noise is the injection pump & pressure regulator for the direct injection. It is pretty noisy.
