For the first 10 min of a drive, I'll shift 1-N-2 instead of 1 straight down into 2. This is all while holding the clutch down throughout the shifter movement (ie: not double clutching). I have no...

How much are coil packs for the BRZ? On my previous car (VW GLI), I'd just replace the coil packs when doing spark plug changes anyways. Coil packs were kind of notorious for failing early with the...

I use 215/60/r16 (prev gen Crosstrek spec) sized Blizzaks. It gives me about an extra inch+ of ride height with no rub. Also fills out the wheel wells nicely on stock suspension.

Love those RFs. Too expensive for my blood (in Canada). Starts at $42k. Meanwhile, the BRZ starts at $28k. Pretty much 1.5 times more.

Are you referring to a sort of snorting/snoring sound under those 3 scenarios? I have the same. The BRZ I rented on Turo did as well. I think it's just the nature of the car.

I'm 32 and traded in my 2012 GLI for a 2018 BRZ. My GF drives a Mazda 3 which basically greenlit me for a fun, less practical car. Long story short: do it if you can!

Good call! Just dropped it off. Dealer told me they just received the TSB the day after I picked it up before. Plan is to reflash ECM.

Just got my car back. The engine note has a noticeably more "rattle in a tin can" type sound to it now but no lights, no misfires, seems to drive ok so I'll take it.
