More like I was saying that in response to YOU drumming up business via the forum. Gotta love free-market. You're offering to install coil overs and then do corner balancing. Let some other folks try and beat that offer.

Good on ya. Free means he has a choice and you have the freedom to compete .

Oh no I knew exactly what you were saying and you are correct. This is why one needs to educate others as to the differences between the competition because it isn't always apparent Not to mention an alignment which again I have that covered.

So I'm BRZ-less because the no starting problem has reached a head and almost stranded me last night (took over 5 mins of futzing around before I could get it started). Took it into Subaru this afternoon and the service advisor was finally able to see what I have been experiencing since last June ("that's weird" he says). Now, hopefully they can fix it. Will also get a quote on my broken mirror. @Cross-had to cancel muffler install for today.

Will still be at BWW tonight, rocking the Prius lol.

On the subject of cars behaving strange, does anyone else's handbrake make a clunk noise when it is engaged at any speed greater than, let's say a half a mile per hour?

No, I don't use it to drift :P , I never have. Just slowly pulled it while rolling to a stop light on an incline.

The clunk feels like it's coming from halfway to the rear tires and the handbrake. Maybe closer to the handbrake.

Both me and @Lyzak's cars do it. As well as just about any other one I've driven and accidentally pulled whole barely moving. It's normal from what I can tell.

Subaru was able to fix the BRZ-said it was a bad clutch switch. I will pick it up tonight and see you guys there (may be a little late).

The number of FR-S/BRZ's at my work is now too damn high! My WR Blue BRZ, a Lava FR-S, 2 Raven FR-S's and now a new comer a Satin White BRZ. I did meet the Lava FR-S owner, he didnt seem interested in forums, but someone else on here has to work at Schwab! Where are you!

Just got done prepping the car for the track tomorrow.

For anyone going tomorrow send me a PM so I can get your contact info if you want to meet up at the Chevron before. It would be cool to have everyone with an FRS/BRZ in the same paddock area.
