this was over the weekend, trying to get my ride height even. I work in a shop so working on the ground is weird to me now. but its nice to "go back to your roots" and just relax/have fun modding cars like the old days

I took mine out and drove it. 1,800 miles over three days, counter-clockwise around Lake Superior, hitting a few of the good driving roads along the way, for good measure.

Adjusted clutch pedal. Had car for a couple of weeks, lower clutch pedal makes huge difference in shifting.

Doing Motul 300 gear oil in trans/diff this weekend

I wish to report my BRZ, Forester, favorite Springer motorcycle, scooter, etc. survived the California, Lake/Napa County, Valley Fire at our main home, where the fire stopped, miraculously, a very short distance from our backyard.

However, our small ranch (five (5) miles away) burned to the ground and along with it, my large automobile, motorcycle, electronics, wood working, metal workshop / garage, with dropped floor for working underneath cars, engine lift, and all the stuff in it.

I lost some of my best vehicles, including my classic MZB 250C lowrider, that was about to be bagged, one of my primo Harley-Davidson motorcycles, etc., etc., etc. … with a ‘crap load’ of tools, and custom car / motorcycle parts.

We stayed with friends in Napa, California … and to the owner of a Black BRZ with diffuser, parked in a parking lot near SB, on Main St. (in Napa) == it was me in the CWP Forester who waved and gave thumbs up to your most excellent choice in automobiles !

The below photograph is taken from inside our second floor dining room, through the sliding door leading to one of the decks, at the house that survived, == minutes before we were able to get out with only the clothes on our back.

When we did leave, the fire was taller than the pictured telephone pole, or tree to the right of it, and illuminated the entire rear of our home, like it was daylight with the sun shining. What looks like snowflakes are burning embers and ash raining from the sky.

It took over a week to find out if our surviving home and my BRZ with 723 miles on it had burned.

May you never experience what we experienced, ever (word)!

I did the clutch spring delete and adjusted the hight of the pedal. I am pretty happy with the result. My only concern is that it still does not shift flawlessly into 2nd and sometimes 3rd.

I also plugged the sound generator with my 12V plug, Also a great improvement. I always thought it sounded somewhat artificial and unnecessary.

Improvement in what way?
What do you mean by 12V plug?
