So.. Ran across this as I was looking into Gear Oil vs MTF:
http://www.redlineoil.com/content/fi...ech%20Info.pdf

Looks like Redline MT-90 is a good choice for those who want the low viscosity of MTF, but want to stay within factory spec (GL-4 75W90). I might go this route for the first transmission service.

Not all "Holland" are the Netherlands. Over here we have the internet to find that out :P

wtf?

I really don't understand these two key systems? Can someone explain to me in 3 sentences or less what the difference is? Do both of them automatically open the doors when you get close or is the cheaper of the two just a normal key fob where your press the button...

One is a key based system like most cars use. One is a proximity system that allows you to unlock and start the car without touching the key, just having it in your pocket.

There that was only two sentences

The one with the regular key (not the small brick) works like a regular key and fob system, and is NOT proximity based. You have to hit the Unlock button and turn the key in the ignition like normal.

The Keyless Access one (the small brick-shaped "key") lets you unlock the car and start it without ever pulling your keys from your pocket. Just grip the door handle to unlock and then press a button inside to start.

Sorry, that was 4 sentences.

FWIW, I use Redline MT-90 in my Exige and shift-action smoothness & consistency is improved on both street [cold] and track [hot] versus whatever was factory fill.

Are there any pics anywhere of the BRZ AC without the autoclimate control? Does it look like it does in the FR-S? That would be horrible. Please point me in the right direction.

It's the same as the FR-S.
