We really need a new section for the GR since the first gen are now obsolete and useless so none of this info is relevant. If we don't have a new section then everybody is going to leave for another forum!

I agree, especially since being such a new and refined vehicle most of the problems that are on the new gen can't possibly be related to the old gen. 1st gen owners are distracting and probably come to the new gen threads out of jealously.

The first gens are for teenagers, the new gen is for grownups. Is more refined and it matured.

My engine just seized 100 miles after the valve replacement was done by a high school kid that usually details cars with a dirty t-shirt but they were short on mechanics that day. Dealership says it was the fuel filter. Does that sound right?

I noticed today that when I get my GEN2 up to about 88MPH the wings on the side create enough lift that the nose starts to rotate up. Did I finally buy a flying car?

Things like that happen after you use Techron. Better contact a tuner and have him install a backfire tune, it gets rid of any gunk and dirt inside the valves.

You're experiencing anti-porpoising, Toyota and Subaru took inspiration from F1 teams to design the aerodynamics. Instead of sucking you car to the ground back and forth, your car just lifts up to counter porpoising.

What's with all the porpoise hating? Are you some kind of dolphinist or something?
