My girlfriend got one on her STI also. Now when we do trips together in both cars (autocross, for example) we will be better able to chat and communicate along the way. That's all we really got it for. I just got carried away and wanted these because they seemed more fun, lol. And then I got carried away with the antenna. And as of Monday I got even more carried away because I had the body shop drill a hole in my trunk so I could install an NMO mount and put an antenna on more cleanly, lol.

That should work great. Did you get your license/call sign?

WRCS648... though I was just made aware of the existence of vanity call signs, so... that may change if they allow those for GMRS licensees.

I dont miss them at all. I hated the rumble and the low end doesnt bother me as much as I thought it would.

also my MPG have gone back up 3-5mpg on average.

Did the same thing on my FRS and feel the same way!

I'm going EL with my turbo install, because the rumble of UEL makes the car sound lazy / uninspired. It's neat for a while, but I think after a year or two, we find our own truths in what we truly enjoy in this car. This community is fairly accepting of this compared to other enthusiast forums, it's nice.

Installed new wiper blades. When I was getting them from the parts guy at the local dealership they started to ask front or back before catching themselves and remembering BRZ only has front.

Took my new radio out, soldered some wires, put it back in, took it out, fiddled, put it back in. Now my radio stations work!

officially became an hotboi, but ready for the snow and road cinders now

Anyone encounter a fake cop on the road before?

One tried to pull me over just now -- he tried to get me to stop, but I ignored him the moment I saw the civilian plate, then he followed me onto an exit with some back roads I know well, and I lost him by the second corner.

My dash cam isn't that great at night, so I'm still trying to decipher the plate.

Interesting commute home tonight to say the least. ��
