And tells me he has an FRS as well and we chit chat for a few minutes and he plans on/wants to throw a turbo in his. Unexpected but totally awesome! :thumbsup:

I had a bolt rolling around in my door sill when it was brand new. Brought it back, they tore it apart, pulled it out, reassembled it. The next day I heard another bolt rolling around. This one was harder to find, it was under the carpet, by the seat base. They got that one out too. Turns out that neither had fallen out, both were lost during assembly.. My dash has a very slight rattle, and there is a slight one from the right rear of the passenger compartment. I wasn't expecting it, but it's not horrible. I HATE rattles, but I'd rather drive it than fiddle with it anymore. Odd my 2013 Ram 3500 Diesel is the one with the quiet interior....

Thanks, I'll look into it. Another question, do you guys get a small rattling sound?? I believe it's from the heat shield underneath. It only happens occasionally when I'm slowing down or low rpm.

I have the same rattle(It happens when you're in neutral slowing to a stop and the rpm is around 1000). It stops if I step on the clutch or move the shifter.

Thank you! I happened to peek as I was driving past and saw your car the other day. How long ago did you purchase yours? I should have wheels on in a month or so, so you'll have to take a look again!

@neutron256, do you know how to check ECU calibration file with your Tech Stream device?

It looks like calibration ZA1JA01C fixes the DI seals issue. Pretty sure our cars will have the older file, but I'm just curious what our numbers are.

See this page for more info.

i don't know how but I'm pretty sure I can figure it out. Techstream is pretty user friendly once you get the hang of it. I'll try an check mine this weekend and see which version I have. Then I can start worrying knowing I have the old version. :bonk:

I just realized that you had a tune done, didn't you? Not sure if that changes the file name or not.

Mine is reflashed back to stock because I got sick of dealing with Visconti. Which version of stock I'm not sure though.

I guess I'll find out. I wonder if I can get the latest version by getting an updated tune from Visconti.

That's where I originally went to possibly purchase a car but they low balled me on my trade in and insisted I buy their ultramarine 6speed when I told them I wanted whiteout.. Otherwise it would've taken two weeks to get a whiteout 6speed... So I contacted the guy I bought my tC from at the St. Cloud dealership and went up there two days later... He gave me a better deal on the trade in and I left with the car that day!

Anyway that was a little off topic haha... I'm not 100% sure what I'm getting but I'm looking at some Rotiforms this guy is selling for pretty cheap or some 3sdm wheels. I'm sort of still indecisive still but we'll see in the next month! :)

neutron256 08-26-2013 02:03 PM

Well I was planning on going to RK tonight since I haven't been in a couple weeks, but I think this heat is going to be way too much for me.

Anyone planning on going?

It's in Brooklyn park just off I94.

-Take exit 31 CR81/ Bottineau Blvd.

-Head north and take the first left onto West Broadway.

-It will curve around and head south. It will be maybe 1/4 mile on your right. If you see the drive in diner on your left where there is a classic car meet you went too far.

It starts at 6pm I'll probably be there by about 6:30

Might have to work late hours today so probably not gonna make it :(. I'll be there next week if there are people going.

JohnJuan 08-26-2013 06:05 PM

Brooklyn Park? That's a bit of a long drive. 50/50.

neutron256 08-26-2013 07:28 PM

I'm heading out shortly. Hopefully I'll see at least some of you there.

JohnJuan 08-26-2013 08:11 PM

On my way. Save me a spot.

GrimmSpeed 08-27-2013 07:04 PM

Did you guys melt last night at RKC?

Also, just a friendly heads-up in case you aren't on MNSubaru!

It actually wasn't as bad as I expected. Got there early and staked out one of the few spots in the shade. Plus there was a bit of a breeze.

Of course there weren't many cars there to look at. @M3GH4N , @JohnJuan and I all happened to be going the same direction leaving and a fun unplanned cruise down I94.

As for the Open House thanks for the heads up I've marked it on my calendar.:thumbsup:

C3L1CA 08-28-2013 02:39 PM

Spotted a blue FRS on Phalen yesterday, anybody on here?

I was in my white FRS going to ve to climb, made the turn a little sharp/late as I was looking in my rearview mirror thinking how good the car looked! lol

LeeMaster 08-29-2013 12:37 AM

Alright, does anyone know a good place to get dent repairs? I have three I need to get rid of on my BRZ!

I'm going to try to get up there Saturday morning. Can't promise though. My front pipe will be here Wednesday and *hopefully* the header will be here before Friday. I would like to have those installed before. Ugh!

LeeMaster 08-31-2013 12:46 AM

I'll be there as well, with the same setup as before with the add-on of the GrimmSpeed strut tower brace. Still patiently waiting on the Nameless Header before I decide to purchase their downpipe. Who else is going to compete in the AutoX event?

Dipstik-sportech 08-31-2013 12:49 AM

I know the white sti and maybe the m3 from my group. I'm sticking with the straight stuff this year due to my lack of tires.

Homegrown 09-01-2013 02:19 PM

Anyone have an inexpensive set of stock wheels?
 
As the title says, I may be interested in a another stock set of wheels for my car for a project. Wheels only. Pm me if u have some that you want to let go of!! I'm in the twin cities. Thanks!
