Will be doing that, ill be trying out either motul or redline, let me know how the eneos works out for you. Btw have you tracked, drifted, or auto-x ed your car?

Tell me more about the cars and coffee meet, sounds like fun
Could you PM me with what it might cost to tune my BRZ? I currently have the aFe intake and I'll be installing a Nameless axelback this weekend (though I might want to wait till I get their downpipe w/ high-flow cat).

ENEOS GL5 was slightly less $$ than Motul. All 3 of those brands are excellent choices. I have some Redline MT-90 GL4 for the trannie I still need to put in. What are you using in the engine? Re: track, drift & auto-x....not as yet! Up to now, only urban assault driving. Auto-x is something I'd like to get into. Still need to observe you and your FR-S in action before I decide!

Definitely will need to visit your shop sometime! C&R in the morning, be there or be square. Lots of nice cars to check out for sure. Will post some pics this time if I remember to grab the camera bag in the morning!

Now that sounds like fun!

Hope to see some of you folks at C&R in the AM. I'll arrive about 7:45-8-ish and have some reserved spots waiting as long as there is room to do so!

I may take ya'll up on that, Still on the fence about the E85 thing. It maybe best for me just to stick to 93 and have the street tune done. If you know what the pricing will be can you let me know?

Well it was nice to see at least one more 86 in the mix at Caffeine and Rides, little disappointed that it was only one additional. Hope more of you show up to the other two events.

I would have been there but my car was held hostage by RMC service dept. I'll see if I can make it out next time if I don't sell the car by then.
