I actually posted both my C7 Z06 and the BRZ for sale. I need one of them gone, so I can make space for the next project; whichever sells first I suppose!

Per my records, the diff fluid change was at 1526 miles. More than half of it was track miles. I have a feeling that the OEM fill is not of best quality, but might be wrong.

Wow, that pretty much makes BRZ a much better choice for track use. Tire pressures are as critical as oil temps for track duty.

Does that work for pressures below 28? My cold starting pressures are usually around 25/26 PSI, and this method did not seem to work right for me. I saw the 3 blinks, and it seemed to work for that...

I finally got to try the SC3R tires, today; my first time ever. I think they do well, but they definitely need a bit of warm-up; they have very low traction when cold.

I'm quite surprised, of all things, you find the wheel size not being ideal. Sure, a bit more stretched tire would help I suppose, but 17"x9" is definitely not pinched by any means.
