WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[\o/]

I did a lot today, given it's only my third day of ownership:
• SUBARU and BRZ badge delete.
• Sound / noise pipe delete.
• First drive w/ my 65 pound dog in the new car! New car is now a little hairy :P
• Trimmed front plate in prep for 3M VHB taping to bumper

My ex had a civic si and that shift knob was torture on hot days..

So how does this fare? Still 200 degrees more than ambient temp on hot summer days?

Not sure, its nice and cool in the spring. I plan on getting some sort of "helmet" for it, because bare backing will definitely get warm later in the year.

Just purchased the OE rear diffuser for $36 shipped.

I've driven in SF, but never with a stick. I bet my clutch wouldn't last a month there.

Two days ago, changed transmission and differential oil to Motul Gear 300. Man that differential oil is some kind of stank! My garage still smells.

Today, installed the Raceseng Ashiko shift knob I bought from another member. This thing is heavy but shifting now feels fantastic!

I picked up a stone chip.


Swell. Thank you Toronto roads.

It's not even that bad, I pretty much thought like you also since I never drove stick in SF before but since taking mine to SF it's the same as driving an auto for me. YMMV since experience will matter.

Haven't scraped in SF yet but I haven't hit the STEEP hills either so that's something to avoid for sure. I'm on the fence about lowering ~1 inch since I already lightly scrape the mud guards under the car now in some parking lots.

From what I know there are quite a few exhaust that doesn't drone. Depending on what kind of exhaust you want loud or almost stock like.

That's why you do it in someone else's garage.

I hear you. I washed my car by hand for the first time since last fall. I was so damn sad at seeing all the chips on the front. I have 4 little white spots on my hood now just from one winter, blah.

Yea I am just starting to shop around now that I am 1/3 of the way to being out of warranty. Wanted to make sure all the crickets (punpunpun) are out before I start modding anything connected to the engine.
