One of the things I liked on my tC was that the bottom of the fuel gauge wasn't E for empty, it was R for reserve - which was much closer to the truth.

THIS. I checked mine this morning leaving work, and sure enough, it was set to Tc. Changing it to FR-S made it sound better.

With the radio powered off, push the volume knob until you see a menu pop up. The rest is pretty straight forward (and tbh I dont remember since I was for 27hrs when I did it :bellyroll:)

Boxers have loud heads too.

Beh, some motors are just noisy.
My 2zzge clack clacks all the time, its a normal sound.

Not sure how boxers are but i would have assumed the sound of he FA20 would be more similar to any of the subaru boxers (unless they're all clackity machines)

Hey, I also had a deer thing. A big buck with fuzzy horns, was up on Empire Grade, the other day. Nothing bad to report. I'am starting to think that we need a deer encounter thread.

Something about the FR-S attracts deer.....

Good thing no deer in south florida, only stupid drivers.

That clicking noise is the injection pump & pressure regulator for the direct injection. It is pretty noisy.
