Good to hear the dealer is taking care of you Turkish. Is it the Austin or Georgetown one? I haven't decided which dealer I should take my car to for maintenance like the ATF flush because I don't know when the DI seals are going to blow and which dealer is the better one for warranty work.

p.s. I plan to track the car so warranty on DI seals are a huge concern for me.

Talking out my bum here, but I would have Toyota inspect your suspension to see if any components are damaged. It sounds like something is bent in a way it is not supposed to be.

Welcome to TX. If your in to car meets every 1 sunday of the month is cars and coffee in leander, tx and every 2 sunday is austin cars and coffee at the oasis (located on travis lake). Other meets include every 1st thursday cobb in austin hosts a car meet with free food etc.

If your looking for great cruises/running through some serious twisties, check out the San Antonio meet page for Twisted sisters runs. Its by far one of the greatest set of twisted roads in tx.

If you need help with anything, just ask and we can help (give key dealers to go to etc).

Welcome again and hope to see you out sometime.

-Alex

Cool

I'm new as well here in Austin, loving the BRZ so far. Still trying to get to 1000 miles, but its hard when you work from home.

Waiting on my Grimmspeed relocator license plate so I can get legal.

I bought from Clint in Colorado. Really easy process if any of you are still in the market.



I am considering the paint protection film... anyone estimate how much it cost?

My tint was done at SunTint, but I'll give the business to anyone.

It varies what film and how much you want protected. I am doing 100% coverage with the Xpel Ultimate (great stuff) and its costing me about $4k so not cheap. But you can pick and choose which items you want covered. For the normal bra stuff its more like 600-800. They have an office in Austin. Let me know if you want their contact information (PM Me) and I can give you their direct emails / phones and it'd be great if you could tell them I referred you (I don't get anything out of it but they are working extra hard on my BRZ because there were no computer models for the full car yet).

Finally got my Fr-s back from the body shop! Anyone planning on going to IFO in San Antonio? Maybe we could get a group going!
