As far as the harsh shudder at 15 mph in 3rd gear... what kind of shift knob are you using? Finding a good, heavy cast iron knob, preferably at least ten pounds, with interior ferrofluid damping really helps control those vibrations experienced when you just absolutely need to use the incredibly huge amounts of power and torque available in the extreme low end of each gear's range.

The check engine light is easily remedied. Pop open the hood and peer inside. If you see an engine... well.... you've checked. You can then disconnect the light until the next time it comes on.
Will the shift knob help on an automatic?

My auto is faster than your manual since I drained all that oil out that was slowing it down! It does make a weird noise now and the shifts are a bit laggy.

Will the new GR86 bumper fit my 2017 BRZ? I tried to look but couldn't find anything.

The bumper will fit but you will have to change the front fenders, doors, rear quarters and trunk to do it properly. If you wait a couple of weeks then you can just pick up some EBay knock offs for a couple of hundred $s.

If you would just do some research you would find it fits just fine with the right amount of zip ties, duct tape, modeling putty, and vegetable oil.

Looking for some advise. I just bought this BRZ........well actually I am getting ready to buy this BRZ. Well actually, I am still trying to get qualified for this loan to buy this BRZ I found on ebay for $3k out of Nigeria. He says it has a header, 5 inch exhaust the rest of the way back, and a custom made intake. Is there an OFT tune that will run perfectly with perfect MAF scaling? Will the AI in the OFT to able to compensate and run perfectly if I switch to a hood dump? I am running my own custom blend of isopropyl alcohol and Ugandan pump gas.

OP: Hey, my car is doing this thing. I am convinced it is this and normal to the platform. Anyone else experiencing it?

EVERYONE: No. It isn't that, it is this. Here are 300 examples of other cars doing the exact same thing.

OP: OMG why is this forum so useless!?! Why am I the only person on the planet experiencing it when it is clearly normal for the car?!? Everyone is wrong. I'm right.

(Everyone else wasn't wrong)
