Nothing we can confirm (or deny) yet...

Unfortunately our car is down (again), which is going to put a slight delay on the products being tested on our shop car, but we'll be testing on some other cars too

I'd love to know about things that break, so I don't make the same mistakes (assuming it was a mechanical).

Well... we had our second engine failure, and it was 100% stock, with no driver errors... so unless you consider your BRZ a mistake...

Does 100% stock include the stock tune? Some people define stock as having to do with physical parts only. Others consider modded intake, air filter, and cat-back exhaust to still be 100% stock. I just want to see if you mean a real 100% or something else. Suspension, wheel, and tire work could lead to high-g cornering that could possibly starve a stock engine of oil.

Just curious. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of oil starvation issue on heavily-modded cars. Maybe there was a sneaky reason for the greasy stock tires?

So it looks like they are going to replace the engine again?

Yes, 100% stock, including the tune. We never had any oil starvation issues that we're aware of.
