Yea, I thought I read somewhere they were limited to 200.
|
Limited editions were numbered 1-140.
Anything above that is not numbered anymore |
wth...
|
Why pay for a lim edition? Go to a metal shop n get that cnc'd for 10 bucks and paint it and BAYAMN hood style

90$ for a oil cap that will burn your hand when removing!!!???
|
Wait a second, I thought the BRZ was supposed to be limited edition?? :P "Only 6,000"!!
|
In all fairness, I don't think they charged extra for the limited edition ones. Actually, i'm pretty sure they were cheaper then that.

I'll never buy a metal oil cap. The MR2 Turbo I bought had a TRD one; it got so hot you'd have to use channel locks to remove it because of expansion. Kind of a PITA when you need to add oil at the gas station.

Grimmspeed was gauging interest at first, taking orders from people who hadn't even seen the final product yet. For these people (myself included) it was a special price and a numbered limited edition. They were done for little or no profit. Just used to show support for the 86 community (smart marketing). The responce was huge, so they have continued to produce them.
I can tell you that it is a very high quality little gem for under the hood. Worth every penny. As for heat... I always have a rag in the car. No problem. |
I've had no trouble taking mine off when its warm for oil changes. But I do put some oil on the o-ring before I screw it on as well. Never tried to take it off when it is smoking hot like after a track session on a hot day though.

It may be the difference in materials/tolerances that causes those not to stick, so that's good. Still not keen on a metal one, lol. I'll probably paint the fluid caps black when I get the car.
