So my car was totaled (rear ended by a giant truck at 3mph) and I ended up with a 2022 BRZ. No need for the CC3 anymore so I emailed Teyes to see if I could order a face plate and harness to...

Clicking / Popping noise from steering when not moving or low speed

It’s probably a disintegrated EPS coupler. It’s a $7 fix. I’ve got a DIY, let me dig it up.

I think the real issue is they took the check from a sedan and threw it on a coupe with significantly longer doors. Even if the BRZ door is lighter, the mechanical advantage will over work a check...

Thanks for the additional details. I can’t believe we are using milk jugs and aluminum foil to fix this issue when there was a legit long term fix. Hahahaha.

CarPlay is all you need. I rooted my CC3 and installed an app that auto launches the CarLink app as soon as I start the car so I literally just get in my car and drive and never plug in the phone.

Did you support the front of the engine so it doesn’t tip forward? If you have the tilt just right you don’t need to do a lot of prying. It will slide right off. If it’s not coming right off then...

The fact that this happened all of the sudden leads me to believe it's the relay. The horn and AC use the same relay, just swap them and see if you end up with a working AC but randomly failing horn.

Yeah it can be a bitch to get back on because the ends aren’t perfectly in line so it binds. A c-clamp to snug up that bracket would help the bolt line up better.

17inch or 18inch wheels(premium)

Let me guess RE71R. Any others because I’ve never gotten so few miles on 200TW even with mixed autox and track days. I get at least 18k typically.

I could go through my tire rack account and list...

RT615K+ or the new RT660’s. Both will spank the over rated PS4S and they’re much cheaper.
