If I were going FI, I'd go with a supercharger (Edelbrock, Jackson Racing, or Harrop). All the turbo setups struggle with heat issues and seem to be super sensitive to issues. If you aren't comfortable diagnosing and fixing a bunch of stuff, the supercharger kits are much more reliable and they deal with heat and track duty better. If you are a drag person or a stop light cruiser, the turbo setups can make more power and cooler noises. |

Where to weigh my car in North suburbs? Other than a garbage dump.

Hey guys.
I’ve never driven in a forced induction car..is there anyone around that can give me a ride? I can give you some cash in exchange. I would like to see the difference in feeling of a turbo and supercharger. |

Where is the best place to get tires mounted & balanced in DFW? Preferably North of Dallas.
245/40 on a 17x9. A place that won't fuck up the rim and knows how to balance correctly? Looking for experienced opinions, maybe even someone with an 86 that works in a tire shop willing to do it at their shop?

Reasonably priced (and honest) performance shops in/near Plano/Dallas
Hey guys, Mike here in Frisco TX. I work in Plano.
Now a proud owner of a 19’ BRZ (used to have a 13’ FR-S, then a WRX most recently and came back to the 86 for the love of the car) I ha e used Cobb (now Growler) Buy was open to any other reasonably priced but honest/trustworthy performance shops that could do work on the car in or around Plano/Dallas. My next step is to get a full cat back exhaust with maybe a catless (resonated or not haven’t decided yet) first. Then maybe some springs. Any referrals or info would be greatly appreciated! |

Just wanted to stop in a say hi to everyone. New to Dallas, TX and just bought a BRZ Limited as well. Very excited to add some bolt-ons, learn about the platform, and plan on FI. Even spoke to Steve at PRT for a bit.

Hey guys/girls, own a '13 FRS since new and now at ~75k miles. Judging from what I've read on TSB threads about the TOB squeeling/squeeking, I think my FRS is a victim of it (for about 2 months). Any reputable mechanics and shops who've done this repair with the newer part and can do this easily in Fort Worth? Thanks!
