ive noticed that motul doesnt like to be cold - at all. Havent tried redline but i noticed cold shifting got rougher? (less smooth) than before idk what was in it before though as that was my first change since having the car

Yeah, the stock stuff for SURE didn't like to be cold. I've used Redline MTL before and it was quite good in the cold, but the MT-90 is only so-so. Still takes some persuading to go into 1st and 2nd for the first few miles. Then it's quite nice, though. Hardly something to keep me up at night at this point, but we'll see how it does when we get a real cold snap in a month or so.

I just finished doing trans and diff my self. Went with amsoil MTF in the trans and amsoil extreme gear in the diff.

Trans feels smoother immediately. less crunchy/notchy going into gear. I'll be curious what it acts like when it's -20

Gave it a well deserved hand wash with this sudden stint of warm weather. Also took the winters off and threw the stock wheels back on. All the slidy fun.

Not all of these were done today, but over the last couple of months:

- swapped from DAMD leather to Prova Alcantara steering wheel
- installed Beatrush master cylinder brace
- installed TRD underbody braces

Same question as the brz thread, do that underbody braces do anything? Also how do you feel about the MC brace?

Master cylinder brace made big difference in oak feel back when I got mine. Highly recommended for any kind of spirited driving/hard braking

With both the underbody braces and MC brace, the difference is noticeable during spirited/hard driving. Handling feels tighter and more responsive; brake pedal feels nice and firm.

Driving gently around town, you won't really notice them.

I actually have an MC brace and that's exactly how I feel about it. Good to know out butt/foot feel is approximately the same.

Now about these underbody braces...

Brought home 20 gal of E85 (closest station is 100+ miles away) on the way home from a trip. Gives an extra 50whp vs my 93oct tune on the FR-S I recently got. Going to spoil myself with some backroads cruising this weekend. I need to write someone in Alabama and tell them that some of us need E85!

The LED side marker bulbs I got with my clear side markers started to flicker after 6 years so I replaced them with VLED ones. The VLED ones are nice and bright. The build quality on the bulbs is just ok, but they seem to function well and have a 3 year warranty so I’m happy. To be safe I also sealed the side marker with silicon in case they were letting moisture in.

Not gonna do much cruising with 20 gallons! Keep in mind you will use up to a possible 30% more of it to go the same distance.

More than 30%. I get 14 mpg when I burn e85.

What are these steering wheels and how expensive??! They look awesome. I really like the stock Lotus type steering wheel, but mine feels a little slick, the PO really rubbed it a lot apparently.
