Could be. Iirc, 0-20 was used to encourage emissions requirements which might not apply there

Which kit did you get? I’m interested in this mod.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?

I installed the Vantop 612H rear view mirror with a rear facing camera. After an accident two years ago that i got screwed out of, i installed a cheap dash cam that didn’t work half the time, so i upgraded to this. It’s nice to have a front and rear facing camera.

First sunny day in about a month! 8 degrees out but I don't care; sun's out guns out.
Got the new bash bar on, hoping to mount the intercooler today, I've had it packed away for the next nice day, which I think is today.

Taking a break until the feeling in my hands comes back.

OEM here is 0W20. But I live in a very hot climate, where 5W30 is appropriate.

Here's a link to it:

https://www.ebay.com/.../2-seats-ins..../160947815170

The switches look just like the OEM ones and fit in the OEM cutouts. It's a really easy kit to install, just tap the 12 VDC wire to the center console port and connect the grounds to a bolt under the center console.

The link doesn’t seem to work unfortunately. Sounds easy enough tho!

Yep, it wasn't too bad at all. You definitely want to take the seats out of the car, though.

Awesome! I've been really looking forward to this mod for a while now, great price, and I found the center console with the switches for the seats. I'm assuming you have the base model with the black and red seats?

That’s right. I had previously picked up a BRZ limited console with the switch holes already cut out. The switches from this kit clicked right into the holes with no modification. The wiring and connectors with this kit made installation very easy. The heating pads get warm quick, and that’s really nice right now. I didn’t install the passenger seat bottom pad due to the sensor. I rarely have any passengers so it wasn’t much of a concern for me. And I didn’t want to deal with the beeping. PM me if you have any specific questions about installation.
