I gave my car her first wash on my driveway. As I was drying it, I felt a bunch of eyes looking at me. I looked up and saw a family in an Altima admiring my BRZ. The dad said he'd never seen anything like it and asked what it was. I told him it was a Subaru and it was a new model. The mom kept saying it was pretty. We chatted a bit and then the family drove off.

Well I was out for 7.5 hrs. Stopped for lunch, stopped for gas, and stopped another time to stretch my legs. But wasn't going super fast either-- a lot of the roads were 30-45mph zones.

I just pushed her hard from 1st and well into 2nd. I noticed the stability control light flashing on and off intermittently as I sped up. The roads aren't great around here. Is that normal? (6000+ RPM).
I keep worrying that for some reason the shifter might be getting caught in the wrong spot and that somehow would trigger the traction control light (or stability control light, it has the car swerving). I've grinded it twice (to my knowledge) lightly so I'm always paranoid, but if you do that, would the stability control light coming on be a sure sign or is it probably because the road I'm on has patches and uneven?

Today, I changed the oil at 130 miles; I was going to change it at 20, but yesterday, when I took possession of the car I had too much fun driving. And then it was dark. While I changed the oil I also replaced the nut with a quick valve. Pretty cool piece of kit.
On another note, I completely agree with Ganthrithor in his post above, "I cannot believe how much fun this car is given that I'm only getting to use half the engine." The amount of speed this car can carry through corners is stellar. All the talk of people going FI, had me considering it; now I think I'm going to wait and see just how much more power I really do want. Who knows? Cheers, Budo |

Using the term "personal preference" is just a way of sometimes, but not all, expressing a point to just being indifferent to something or some other statement - indifference.
Many of us have a propensity for a variety of reasons to add things to our cars even though it may not be useful or logical. In forums such as this one I have found that car owners have added or modified something to their BRZs and, based upon the aftermarket supplier advertising, later find out it wasn't what it was expected to be. |
