Cool! Why 5w30 vs 0w20? Just curious.

Because it was on sale cheaper than 0w20 and can be run with no ill effect :iono:

Oil changed, checked over the exhaust and suspension, and replaced the reverse lockout with a metal AliExpress special (seriously I still do not understand the $70 price tag on the "name brand" ones when this has no logo for $3).

Got a box from Japan on Friday. Immediately forgot it at my desk. JDM Toyota black interior and another shift knob.

Lent the BRZ to a friend from Ontario, he took it to see some dinos and the mountains.

Hard to beat the views of the mountains.

Those STI wheels just look so darn...classy in silver.

They're definitely a sharp wheel, probably one of my favorite OEM 5x100 wheels. Unfortunately the previous owner of them in Japan parked by feel, so all 4 have 3-6" of rash on the outer lips :/

Swapped in an FRS cluster face and needles. The day I picked up the car was the first time I ever noticed the BRZ cluster and I haven't liked it ever since. With this swap I retained the factory BRZ cluster, so my odometer is still the original and the red backlighting remains. Also noticed that the BRZ face didn't even have a cut out for TMPS like the FRS does, weird that the "base" model car has what the top trim does not. Not really complaining though!

Picked up a used set of TOM'S tail lights for the car, and an auto-dim mirror from https://hachielectronics.com/. I should do an oil change soon...
Happy New Year to the 3 people who got this site to load lol.

Too cold to do any exterior work and ice could damage the parts. Did an oil change and swapped steering wheels with a Toyota Japan red side steering wheel. Matches nicely with the STI push button and other red accent lights. Potato photo, but it is what it is lol.

You currently dealing with that nasty -40 business out west?

How does the twin like that?

Car was fine, driver did not enjoy it. It was pretty dry at those temperatures, no new snowfall. The week after we got ~7" and now it is all slush.
