But yes, everybody should be checking their tire pressures about now if they haven't done so already. My stockers were at 22psi...

Yeahhh my TPMS light went off...I'll deal with it tonight, by switching to winters!

I officially knew Fall was here when my TPMS light went off and my car locked 6th gear out.

I'll know it is winter when I have to contend with the persistent power window failsafe faults. *Sigh*

Didn't check my windows, but happy to report the gearbox was fine with stock fluid. I think it just needed miles on the trans/fluid (aka more shiny bits in the fluid LOL crunch crunch crunch) to act right. Thus far it's behaving much better than last fall/winter.

My gearbox locks me out of 2nd with Pentosin in the morning. But it also locked me out of 2nd with OEM fluid. It shifts better in every other gear, though. No grinds anymore in 3rd-6th.

28k miles...

BoostinIX · 11-25-2013, 12:46 PM

No trans issues here on stock fluid. /shrug. 22k miles, she's worn in lol.

Forgot the windows are going to start sticking...ugh.

How many miles before you flushed the stock fluid?

I realized I never posted any decent shots of my new car. Without further adieu:

Because crappy Jap econobox then, I guess.

infinite012 · 11-25-2013, 01:49 PM

idk man. My WRX and STI never had these issues. I'm going to go ahead and blame Toyota on this one.
