I got my car tuned at Drift-Office down in Auburn, WA.

Did you buy a license before hand or did you just drive down and get it all from there

I purchased my license through them, and had everything done at once.

Stay tuned, I plan on organizing a group dyno day with them soon, if anybody here is interested.

Yup... my tune is an ots map from Visconti. But would have gone the route truenosan took with a personal tune if that option was available at the time. Not to say I'm unhappy with the ots map from Visconti. I just believe in custom tunes for your car over ots maps.

Lucky you. Acura refused to replace my leather seats on my RSX, lol.

So I sent an email to Subaru Canada and they said now there is a TSB in Canada (It just came out yesterday ) that addresses condensation in the rear tail lights and the front LED strips. So they told me to contact the dealer and they will fix it. I haven't called Don Docksteader yet to see what this TSB involves. I'm not confident the front strips is taken care by this TSB but I'll have to talk to the dealer first and see. So all BRZ owners should bug their dealer to get this issue fixed!

Please let us know what you've found out. I got mine from DDS too!

Same with me. Johns tune isn't bad by any means just he is only one person that's really really far away and deals with a lot of others.

Thanks, keep us updated! When I went last week, the condensation was gone so nothing was done. They told me it was "normal" to have a little condensation but that it would go away on it's own.

picking up my SWP BRZ next week, just wondering how much you guys are paying for insurance?

I talked to the dealer and they are getting parts in to do the fix only for the rear tail lights. They will only replace the housings if there is a crack in them. There is a TSB now for Subaru Canada so if you tell them, they will fix it.

As for the front LED strips, the TSB doesn't cover this so I'll have to message Subaru Canada about this issue. I don't think it's normal for the strips to get any condensation in them even though the service guy at the dealership says he sees it happen in Foresters and Imprezas. Am I being too picky here?

If we all have ears, I'm pretty sure we will all hear him first before we actually see him.

You could always call an autoplan broker for a quote... Depends on where you live and your CRS rate, but generally I've found it only slightly more expensive than my 2010 Impreza with the same coverage.
