Also if you have the 10 series and are interested in remote start Read My Post

I actually don't mind the light up badges...UNTIL they turn on the blue part. All chances of classiness just get thrown out the window. Why didn't they just keep it at the white?

The badges have grown on me. So many people have come up to me at night to ask what kind of car this is. The badges just draw them in.

Seems they are replacing a fuel pump for me. Hope this one can last longer.

Not sure if this matters, but I have read that those that had crickets got them to stop when using Shell 93 octane gas. This is all I have been using. I have 600 miles and no cricket noises yet (knock on wood). It may not be the cure, but it is working so far for me.

Not sure about that but I have constantly been putting 93 octane in Don't really know about the brand.

And I just hit 700 miles last night Still no crickets

All this talk has scared me a couple times though. It's happened twice now when I was in line at a drive thru I thought my "crickets" started. Turns out there were just actual crickets near by. Lol

Luis_GT · 07-27-2013, 03:04 PM

I'm at 640 and no crickets yet, using cheap Gulf 91 octane gas... I'm used to crickets, since my bimmer has a similar sound coming from the pulleys... no matter how many time I changed them, it always came back... so I prolly wont mind it if they eventually appear...

FiRStsc10n · 07-27-2013, 03:15 PM

It just dawned on me why the 10 Series is the color it is. It is the Tin Anniversary at 10 years.. duuuh

Sorry if you all already knew this, if not, its a cool tidbit of information.

SpyderDan · 07-27-2013, 04:16 PM

1600 miles, and no crickets yet. I've been using Shell 91 exclusively.

Frstorm · 07-27-2013, 04:48 PM

I rotate between shell 91 with up to 10% ethanol and a local place at 93 octane no ethanol

Let's hope it does. I'm sure I kind of spoke to you at the dealership at Longo when you had the fuel pump replaced. Let me know how it goes or if it comes back.

My car #333 came in today. Still not sure if the car will be mine though. Grand total was a thousand bucks more than what was initially discussed....

Sales guy blames the financing department for the extra $1000 because of fees the dealer usually add (anti theft stickers and tire warranty). Load of crap because I asked for the TOTAL out of the door price when we discussed the car.

Said the manager wasn't in but I saw him at the front counter (I had to tell him the manager is actually in). Finally, the manager fixed the price. Now the car is missing is the graduation rebate of $1000 that is supposed to be on the invoice too but they wont put it on till monday because the department that does that is closed.

Wanted me to sign the papers and finalize the deal. At this point in time, I lost all my trust with the place and wont sign a thing without absolutely everything on paper.

Said I have nothing to loose after I sign the papers and there was nothing they could do if I back out after I signed (ahh, I am pretty sure a signature is a legally binding contract). Then he went on about having to wait another day to pick up the car if I didn't sign today. I have already waited 3 months, 1 extra day wont make a difference.

To make me even more pissed off, he was so nice to my parents at first. Then he didn't even acknowledge them after because they were telling me not to sign. To make an extra ~$1000, I have lost my trust in this dealership. Hopefully all goes well on monday or it will have to be a 2014 BRZ next year.
