I know the feeling my wife wants me to toss it but it feels like tossing money in the trash to throw away parts that were on the car less then a month.

Could cut the muffler open, remove the piping inside, and reroute the piping to be a direct path to make it a sleeper stock exhaust.

Mine has already cracked two times in 6 months I guess I have bad luck. Waiting for the new windshield to come in from the dealer to have it replaced again. First time mine cracked right down the center also. This time it's across the passenger side of the window : /

I've had mine replaced twice and I don't believe they have any aftermarket glass out yet. Have to order it from the dealer. I have 0$ deductible but the bill was like 750 dollars from safelite to replace it so hopefully you have glass coverage on your plan.

I was looking through the pictures of our first few meets and just thought I'd say this: We've come a long way in a couple of months, as a group. We've done multiple smaller get-togethers, autocross events, LM tech days, Pavilions more than a couple of times, you all are responsible for the sales of the first LM produced community product, we're pushing the envelopes on low-cost DIY customization, and bringing more and more AZ FRS/BRZ owners into the group all the while. We're also one of the most active regional groups on this forum (this post is number 3227 for this thread alone). It's pretty amazing to look back and see the changes we've made.

You are right tho, you never know who you are going to run into. We have yet to meet up with a true jack off.

Yea, the phx area FRS/BRZ community is one of the most easy going ones Ive been a part of. No whack jobs at all (yet). Pretty excited for the meet & drive since I havent seen you guys in a bit, been too busy with work and hanging out with those miata weirdos.

Here we go again... The chirp came back so i said forget it thats its just a bad design and is not fixable with toyota engineers. Then it happened again the car is only about half the power it had... I really want to pull off the intake take it into my shop laser measure it and CNC a new one that is only direct injected and then take a different HPFP and pressure regulator fab up mounting brackets and call it a day. But that would void the warranty so I have to keep taking it back until they figure it out which will probably be never at this point.

Sorry for the rant just tired of seeing this car sitting in the shop with problems.

Just got off the phone with my lawyer she said I have a pretty solid case to settle for have the purchase price of my car and I get to keep the car. So if I'm able to get everything worked out this just became a $13k car. This is part of lemon law which I found out does not always involve giving the car back you can get up to half the purchase price back and keep the car. Also lemon law if they buy back the car it is not at full value because they subtract mileage so a cash settlement is a better choice for anybody here who has had a bunch of problems.
