Well, dealer called yesterday and said it arrived. Took a look at it today but couldn't open it because dealer was closed . But 708 out of 2500! YAY!

Pictures soon!

Although there is plenty controversy about the twins crickets, there is evidence it seems to suggest ethanol free gas stops the crickets. Have to run empty and fill up from now on with ethanol free, a lot of members said Shell was a good place to go. This is what I plan to do after running initial tank from dealer empty.

Check ethanol free pumps around your area. http://pure-gas.org/

There are some members who say it doesn't make a difference. Take what I say with a grain of salt.

I ended up picking up #40 when I was out to test drive the BRZ. I just went to the Scion dealership near the Subaru dealership to look at the orange color to play it up and hopefully get a better price on a BRZ (really wanted push-button start, HID lights, and keyless entry). The dealership had just gotten a 10 series in the day before and hadn't even posted it on their website.
They had installed exhaust headers, tint, and the spoiler. I'll have to take pictures tomorrow.

I'd read up on that and at first was optimistic until learning that the closest supplier to me, Space Age, in effect literally buys bottom of the barrel stock from random suppliers.

yeah bro I drive spirited, but I don't beat it up much past 5500 maybe 6000. I make sure I don't stay in one gear or a constant speed too long, make sure to change it up. these are solid machines I think so I m willing to take the risk. my goodness is this car on rails btw...
