Can you even get the SAAB related parts for that pile? The non Subaru parts I mean.

I wasn't that good either. Give it a week and you'll be doing a lot better, still not a pro but you won't cringe every time you drive it. lol Where in the NW burbs? I'm in Libertyville.

Buffalo grove. I talked to my buddy who recently got a 3 series in stick and had to learn it. So we're going to the local high school parking light tonight. It's been in my parking lot for 2 nights all lonely. Hate being busy 6 am to 8 pm :/

If you can move your car around parking lot without using the gas, I guarantee you will drive out of the parking lot.

I know that, but I heard a few times that it's okay on most manual cars, but not on the brz because it wants to get more gas?

I've done it just fine in my FR-S. When I went for my test drive I told the guy from the dealership I was rusty on stick so he guided me over to a nearby industrial park and had me do exactly this to get the feel for the clutch engagement.

Only non-subaru parts that I know of are front body panels and headlights/taillights. So far everything I've done on engine/suspension is 100% subaru. Some interior bits might be different as well, but the major "consumables" are subaru

I purchased my 2013 FR-S 10 Series on August 6, 2014, but I just saw this thread now. I really like the car and was in this section of the forums looking for recommendations on a tuning shop in the near west suburbs - feel free to chip in if you think you can help me.

I'm in Clarendon Hills (just west of Hinsdale). After I posted the message above I did a search and it looks like P&L Motorsports and Touge Factory are recommended, but P&L Motorsports is a little closer. People say good things about them and I just need to install a short shift kit, transmission and subframe bushings, and change fluids.
Thanks for the reply! |

So I got it figured out after an hour in an empty parking lot. Still not smooth but it'll take time. I'll have pics in a few days
