I recently sold an '87 911 Carrera which I owned at the same time as a '13 FR-S (still own). Both are great cars, and really can't be easily compared except to say that both are kind of primal,...

Alignment: Dealership or Elsewhere?

As per title, do you trust regular alignment shops to do alignment correctly, or is it necessary to go to dealerships? I'd rather not go there, but want it done correctly. Thanks,

How about the New S-FR Sports Car?

Go to SFRforums.com and check it out. Autoweek also has some
info. on it. Smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the FR-S.

Which oil weight for warmer climates

I'm about to change my oil, and Summer is coming here in NC, so wondered if I should go to something heavier than 0W20. Any comments?

How Much Oil is Too Much?

I had my oil/filter changed at the dealership, and once home checked and it is about an eighth of an inch over the full line. Should I bother removing some, or is it ok? Thanks,

I think you've had a bit much of the cool aid. I've got a 911, and the FR-S ain't no 911, not by a long shot. It is a great car, in it's own right, so we're all winners.
