Installed XM radio in the car, did it the lazy way (no under the carpet stuff)

It really is just plug and play.

No "pro" tips, but I use Shell exclusively.

My only cricket experience occurred when still burning the dealer-provided fuel.
In the succeeding nearly 4,000 miles they haven't returned.

I use Shell, Exxon, and Texaco and very rarely have crickets.

I was driving next to another SWP BRZ at I-35 and Aquarena Springs in San Marcos tonight. Is that any of you?

I commute to San Marcos for work, if you see a GBS BRZ, just wave, I'll certainly wave back!

Does anyone here know of a good shop to get an alignment that will deal with aftermarket suspension? I installed coilovers recently, so I'm wondering if any of you gents/ladies have found a good shop in the area. Thanks.

If your chamber in the back is thrown off you will need control arms. I just got my alignment at my local shop. Just a reg auto shop I go to for little stuff like that.

Jerry's Wheel and Alignment is great. He's up in Pflugerville. He did my car after I installed my Eibach Sportlines, as well as a few others with FR-S/BRZs

Saw 2 FR-S's on 6th street tonight. One was silver with beat sonic antenna, the other one was also silver with black wheels. Was that anyone here?

My coolant was below the low mark while cold a week ago in the overflow tank. Anyone else experiencing major evaporation in their overflow? As long as some is there its good, but mine was getting dangerously low. I filled it up with the Toyota Blue coolant from Amazon and I'm back up to the halfway point while cold, and goes to full when warm. I'd really like to know if the hoses are leaking, or our temperatures are just high enough during the summer to constantly evaporate the mixture.
