Well, I was going to put 91 in, but then I tried pulling the fuel release in the footwell and it didn't budge. At all. Looks like I'll be getting gas when it thaws which is probably in about a month

Actually, I'll just pour hot water on it.

I run Shell.
@Pbrown count me in!
@pushrod go in your trunk and pull back your liner, you should be able to reach the cable. Try pulling on it before doing the water. The water will pretty much just freeze again

I'm in for wings and fast7 too!

[Qsig]

I'll be up for it.

Also, saw 2 white BRZs in the parking garage of 150 Elgin today.

Would like to experience the difference of running E85. Right now I want to upgrade the exhaust and sound system. Stock speakers are not bad but would like to upgrade to focal speakers and a sub.

If you are serious about a sub check these fitted enclosures out

I bought a pair set up for my 8" Alpine SWR-823D's
If you want to check one out in person you can come over to my place and have a look. They are really well made and have screw in fasteners to match up with the liner carpet fasteners for quick removal for track days.
PM me if you want to set something up.
They are 20% off list now too (I think) so a bit of offset on the crappy can dollar.

Cheers
Ken

Are you guys busy next Sunday?
No?

GREAT!

Who would be interested in going to ICar for the snow attack?
http://www.circuiticar.com/en/snow-attack.html

Here's video from youtube

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le2kfx_0Qig"]Snow Attack Icar 2015 (Bmw 320i) - YouTube[/ame]

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x1DDN6AHUk"]ICAR Snow Attack - YouTube[/ame]


I've gone before. It was fun, but the track was pretty icy. With all the snow we've been getting the track should be much better, and ICar is currently working on making the surface more durable.

Cost on Sunday is $25 for a driver. $10 for a co pilot, and free for spectators. There's an indoor restaurant if you want to stay warm. It's from 1:30 to 6, so if you want to go the whole time it's a pretty damn good value!

Who's in?

depending on the time, I might be down!

I may move stores once again, I got an offer from Donellys on bank st, and southbank gave me a call offering my old job back hearing that i'm considering other places ( current place has no room for advancement ) .

Great thing about the car business, is once you start, you can go just about anywhere if you're good..

If it's not something you want to do yourself, Andre will treat you right.

If its not that bad i may just do that!

So, a good rim job was done and @Slick helped out - service eh?

Thanks @Slick i'll have to look into it..lots of things i want to buy but only so much money lol. My FRS is an auto, does OFT work with an auto tranny?

I'm also one of those 2-stroke guys...I've found adding 2 ounces of good quality 2-stroke oil to my tank at fill-up effectively kills the crickets with Ultra 94. It sounds questionable, but it works.




Can you adjust the idle speed with the OFT? I sometimes get a bit of an off-idle stumble when leaving a stop light. For a 2 liter 4 cyl, I think 650 RPM is a tad low...being able to bump it up to around 800 should cure it for me. If it is possible, that alone would make it worth the money.

Ya in the summer I definitely only run 94 with the crickets...I'll give the 2-stroke oil a try. was running 94 till about last week when i switched back to shell 91 since like you said the car isn't so sensitive.

Thanks Ken I'll look into it. I do like the quick removal for track days part.
