OK, I have a plan -
I'll invite you and @Ultramaroon up for the weekend. I'll cut a deal with Toyota to have them give me a set of parts needed for the recall work. I'll arrange for an unlimited bucket of fried chicken to be delivered. I'll also arrange for a delivery of assorted craft beer to be delivered. I'll sit in the recliner and read the detailed instructions as you two do the work. I'll also act as QA person. mrs humfrz will be on hand to go to the airport to pick up ol @Tcoat if he would like to join us for this party. Fun will be had by all - humfrz |

Got my notice in the mail yesterday... will be taking mine in since it has had valve cover leak issues from day one, has never been trouble free (but has been pretty reliable), and I want to sell my FR-S ASAP. Have less than 60K miles on mine and clutch throwout bearing is about to bite it. Just ordered an Exedy Stage 1 clutch kit.... once comes in will schedule mine for the recall work.
Wish we could take it to a Subaru dealership for the work instead though... Is the Toyota coolant the EXACT same thing as the specialized SUBARU coolant? I ask because the Subaru coolant is all I've ever used in mine, as my brother use to have a 2.5RS Impreza and gave me his stockpile after it was totaled in a flood. 2.2L Legacy, 2.5L Impreza, 2.0L FR-S.... think I've had my fill of boxer engines for the rest of my life. They are not bad, just quirky and more difficult to do routine maintenance or fix leaks.

I think I hit the sweet spot on mine. When I took it into the shop yesterday the techs at the dealership had already done a handful (one they finished just as I was bringing my car in as mentioned above). So, now they have experience but haven't had enough time to forget what they've done. Also, as mentioned, I'm not sure I'd do it yet if I only had 23,000miles on mine either. I'd probably wait.

It's an engine problem. It might make the engine run less efficiently and emit 7 more carbon molecules into the atmosphere. Therefore it must be fixed, because environmentalism is a higher priority than your individual rights. It makes perfect sense in the context of your idiotic emissions regime. The most logical choice for me when I graduated film school would have been to move to California. I couldn't bring myself to do it. I grew up under a government of religious nutjobs in Alabama. The last thing I wanted to do was trade the religion of Roy Moore for the even more rabid and irrational religion of Governor Moonbeam. Y'all voted for it. If that's what you want, fine. What infuriates me is that California sends lobbyists out to other states to try to convince them to adopt CARB. They made owning a car more expensive for California residents, so rather than reduce their costs, they want other states to raise the cost for their own residents so that it's more "fair." Other states should pass laws making it legally fair game to shoot California's lobbyists on sight. Swearing in a new legislature should mark the beginning of "California lobbyist season" for hunters. |

If it does, here's where something will go sideways. It's all in the details:
Oh, and everybody fucks up from time to time. Rare and appreciated is the guy that isn't afraid to admit it.

My car runs awesome and leaks nothing. Now because CA says I can't renew my reg until Toyota gets their greasy mitts all over my engine. Makes no sense. If it ain't broke why you trying to fix it Toyota?

How about stopping in at Nena's (off of Weber) and pick up an assortment of Mexican meals. Just ask Maria to put together and box up a selection. She k-n-o-w-s what I like - humfrz |
