No

Your comment caught my eye since I'm headed to my first service on Saturday.

Looks like the Maintain the Love program is only available in certain states according to the first real hit I got when searching.

Sadly I don't live in one of those states either.

Ah that would explain it. Wish I could give my oil changes away since I usually do my own work on the car.

Finally found a phone mount that fits the extra deep 22 BRZ vent louver on Amazon. Installed it this evening and works great.

Installed single @KillerBMotorsports aos to replace the one I broke.

Varelco · 07-21-2022, 07:50 AM

How easy is it to empty?

Desertnate · 07-25-2022, 09:33 AM

Nothing big here for me, just the first scheduled service and had the engine noisemaker disabled while it was there.

What a difference not having the ASC makes. Yes, you don't get much engine/exhaust noise with it off, but I'd rather have no noise than that terrible racket ASC injects into the car.

I read a couple older reviews of the gen 2 Twins this past week and the phrase "agricultural engines" cropped up many times. While the engine is no where near as smooth as some other 4-cyclinder engines on the market, I couldn't help but wonder if some of the criticism was due to ASC giving the impression the engine is more tractor-like than it really is.

Deep cleaning after getting muddy this weekend.

Your car looks great.

Every time I see a nice picture like this of an Ice Silver Metallic BRZ, I am glad I bought one in the same color.

By the way, what products do you use to clean and wax your car? The shine looks outstanding.

OscarGeezer · 07-27-2022, 03:52 PM

I installed a set of racecomp ss-1 coilovers.

Thanks a lot dude. I keep it simple. Weekly wash with Meguiars Gold Class shampoo and new this year I'm using Griot's 3 in 1 Ceramic Spray Wax and have been happy with the results. 2 coats, applied a week apart back in March and it's held up great so far.

Spray waxes have gotten so decent that I can make it through Chicago winters while still having protection and they take almost no time to apply.

DylanJZA · 07-27-2022, 10:14 PM

^ It's great wax IMO, but man it's a pain in the ass to get off the surface (particularly the hood) in my experience. But maybe that's why it lasts so long. Stuff does not seem to thin out much at all wash after wash lol
