SO I was rear-ended recently but it wasn't too bad. The damage to the rear-end is really minimal, just some minor scratches that I could probably live with. What I don't know is if there is any damage to the frame. I don't think there is but I'd at least like it checked out.

Can any of you guys suggest a body shop that know our cars that could take a look and do an estimate? I at least what to get a quote so I can send it to the insurance company.

Allard collision. I know a few people that have gotten things done there.

I have about 10 years of constant testing AZ gas under my belt and I can pretty confidently say that for the money QT is the most consistent in ethanol and knock suppression on 91. E85 I pretty much solely get it from Chevron but really only because they are the majority stakeholder on E85 here in the valley. I have gotten good gas from others too obviously but QT has by far been the most consistent which is most important imo. I have never seen anything over 9% ethanol from them and its nearly always 8%. More importantly though is the knock suppression specifically under boost.

Watching the tracking today it says the kit is in Tucson as of 1:30am.... wonder if I can pick it up today. I know what I will be doing at lunch today if so. **Update** I go to pick it up today! I know what I am going to start playing with.

Also since I know I will be installing the Turbo Kit and @Shad0ez wants to install his Header then I think its safe to call this Saturday a Mod day at my place. And since @jeffsides always makes those pictures I felt I would give it a shot... I think I need some work at it though

I know that for the FI guys, folks like Clark Turner (almost a god in the EJ-tuning world, according to some... easy way to start a fight in SWIC is to ask who to get tuned from), have said that they can tell when someone has been running chevron in an FI'd subie, b/c of the power loss. He recommends QT for them. So I did, when I still had the STI. Figured I might as well stick with them as best I could when I got the BRZ.

I do get consistent gas mileage from QT gas (steady mid to upper 27 mpg measured average, 29.x as read by the ECU), so I figure that's indicative of consistent E-content as well. It seems to always stay there, as long as I don't excessively high-rev the car (that is, stay in cruise revs when cruising, and whatever I care to rev to when I'm on side streets or passing), which I like. That's 10mpg more than when I would utterly granny drive the STI. More fun with consistently higher mpg's. I LOVE this car! Then again, I wasn't getting 27mpg when I first got this car. More like 24-25 mpg with those driving habits. So, thanks @nelsmar. That's his road tune (over about 35 iterations) that's giving me that performance.

When I got rear-ended back in November (look back in this thread to posts on November 15... my story will be there), I took my car to Gerber Collision and Glass. They did a really good job. I don't have any experience with Allard, but they're well-spoken of as well.

Just wondering if anyone has these or knows anything about them?

I'm just looking for lca's to adjust my rear camber to avoid fast tire wear. Most are around 400-500 but I saw these for 109 per arm and am wondering why they are way less. They are on fteightysix.com and say they adjust +/- 2.0 of camber. Any opinions if these would be okay or not would be awesome!

Yeah there's no way I can focus at work today. The FRS Turbo kit has arrived!

All unpacked, still no word from @DeliciousTuning though.

I don't have any RL contact info so I'll ask here. Do you need a dolly?
