I am not saying you are lying. I am saying it doesn't add up due to the fact these cars loose to mini vans full of kids on their way to soccer practice. Could have been a boost leak like @nelsmar said.

For flex fuel the zeitronix is not only the display but converts the analog voltage to a digital signal the ecu can understand. So its not only a display but is doing something.(as far as I know) you can technically put the kit togther yourself for cheaper. I have an extra gm sensor ill let go for cheap. You will just need to pay a tuner for the tune. I beleive fa20 sells at a different rate id you dont get their hardware so it may be worth it just to have toni sell you everything.

Sent from a Motorola DynaTAC 8000X
I was thinking the same thing using the GM Sensor, but I needed to look into just what this PCM is capable of understanding. I noticed a few here run E85 which is why I mentioned it hoping to gather some information from the locals already doing it.

I am not familiar with Toni but I do prefer to tune my vehicles so I don't have to make arrangements etc. Coming from the HP Tuner side of the house I am sure its a little different around here on sharing information and such but I would like to believe its pretty open as it is there. But again I have not really had a chance to look into it.

Thank you for the offer though I may take you up on it I will be looking into it this weekend. (E85 and to be clear I want to run both. If that means switching between tunes I can handle that but if it can be easier (The vette PCM in mine doesn't have the option to handle E85/FlexFuel) and I just fill up and it auto adjusts... well I like easy lol)

I used to toy with other cars when in my TA on roads in Mexico.Sandbagging next to them till their WOT then id let 3rd gear launch past them. But alot of time people would be WOT next to me and im just barely giving throttle but still sounds like im gettin it. So to them they probably think they're keeping up when im not even pushing my LS at all.

Had to go to the Subaru dealership here in Tucson today since my rear view mirror started rattling about a week ago, and it has already fallen off twice, so I wanted to catch it before it happened again.

Turns out the last time they fixed it, they used the revised base, but for some reason put in the old screws. Hopefully they got it right this time.

By the way, as I was leaving I noticed that there were 4 new BRZs sitting on the lot (2 black, 1 silver, 1 white, I think), in case anyone is looking for one. Also saw a preowned WRB Premium AT at another dealer here last weekend, so the BRZs are not as scarce as they used to be.

I had this same issue. Was going to wait til I got my oil changed to have them look at it but decided to take a crack at it myself. Just unscrewed both screws, and then screwed them back in. So far so good but if it gets loose again I'll have them take a look at it. Wasn't aware this was a common problem or that there is a revised base to fix it.
