Any good tires recommend for wet / rain condition? Thanks!

Most UHP, UUHP are good in rain too. Michelin PilotSport 4S (and UHP non "S" 4 & 5), Conti SportContact6, Goodyear Asy5/6. For rain i'd go for UUHP class instead of more track oriented tires.

Here is one mod that really, really helped me:

Take your car to a seatbelt/airbag shop and ask if they can switch the locking mechanisms in passenger and driver seatbelts.

I did that, so now when i pull all the way, the seatbelt ratchets back. So it locks into place and I not put very little effort to keep myself in my seat.

So what will that mean for your passenger?:iono:

Hi All,

Anyone experienced blue smoke in the exhaust after tracking the car? The track I went has some elevation change and two other NA BRZ/86 has similar issue after 2 sessions as well. Two mechanics at site suspect that it is the PCV issue.

I have a catch can already but we think the oil somehow suck back in to the engine (due to the g force?) but not 100% sure. The blue smoke on my car is relatively less than the other two 86/brz. After driving on the hwy under 4k rpm for 30 min, all the blue smokes are gone and things are back to normal.

Any suggestions on how to prevent this?

Thanks!
