Again, to you it's crap but to him, its great and he has every right to post and do to his car whatever the hell he wants. And likewise, the moment you posted that post. You opened yourself to criticism. Man you must be one miserable dude. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Look man I'm with you. I think rocketbunny kits are terrible. If you don't have the horsepower to back it up, you've ruined a good car. I would never do it to mine. I've seen people who have just rocketbunny kits but nothing done to the engine. I think they're dumb but hey if it makes them happy. Who am I to judge? The only "rice" thing I've got on my car (atleast I think) is a wrapped hood in carbon fibre. I bought it that way and I think it looks amazing. I've had someone else cuss me off at a timmies calling me ricer. It doesn't bother me at all because I like it lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

People post to share their enthusiasm with the community. For those who would build differently, we like to see those builds too Trash talk masquerading as honesty is not enlightening anyone. People like what they like. If you feel a need to tell someone their baby is ugly, don't assume this is doing the world a favour. We choose to put out positive energy in the community or not. Didn't do anything with my car today but drive to work. I also chose to lend some tools to other ft86 enthusiasts to mod their rides. |

I will never touch anything performance related, as my 86 is an automatic daily driver occasionally shared with my better half. I will rice the ever living hell out of it, though.
/s Today I drove my 86 to work, almost got hit by a Maserati Levante (SUV) whose driver was constantly playing with the phone and was not checking blind spots, and decided to make a 2-lane change 4 metres before a left turn. Thankfully I was eyeing the car and was cautious the whole time, and did not get hit. The driver gave me a fair bit of profanity though for honking and not letting them in.

Not quite in the GTA, left Mosport after 5PM Friday, got into Enniskillen and had to find a place to stop on the side of the road to look something up on the phone and exchanged waves with a WRB BRZ. Later on the way home across the 401, just before exiting onto Sheppard Ave./Port Union, exchanged waves with a silver FRS. White twin from Ottawa parked near the turn four bridge also at the track today.

Yesterday I exchanged waves with THREE white FR-S's at different points through-out the day. They were all different cars.
First was white with a black vinyl'd roof, turning into Classic Honda parking lot in the Brampton Auto Mall around 4:00ish. I waved as I also turned into the Classic Honda parking lot in order to drive through to the Timmie's in the plaza behind it (I had just left Subaru of Brampton). The car did not follow me through and turned into the actual Classic Honda parking lot behind me. Next was another white FR-S, this time with blacked out OEM wheels and a SARD rear wing. It was turning left onto Van Kirk from Bovaird (so in the Brampton Auto Mall again). I was waiting at the light to turn left onto Bovaird from Van Kirk. The driver saw me and gave the bunny ears out the window as he made his turn, which I reciprocated. Everyone else waiting at the light must have noticed our waves, because the 2 guys in the Ford Escape beside me were ogling my car and laughing afterwards, and a guy crossing the cross-walk also stared at my car and gave me a thumbs up. This was somewhere around 5pm. The last one was somewhere along Castlederg Sideroad in Caledon; at Humber Station intersection if I remember correctly. This one looked stock. I highbeamed and gave a wave, and the driver waved back at the last second through the windshield. It may have even been a female driver, but I didn't get a good enough look. Close to 6pm or just after.

They did have a bronze tinge to them but I wasn't sure, so I just said black LOL they weren't that dirty. Glad to know they're holding up for you! He broke your exhaust? Or the gasket? Jeez...I had just left Subaru when you saw me and found out I need close to $2k in repairs to get rid of this goddamn check engine light that came on last week. Not a happy camper right now.

It's the dreaded P0018 check engine light/slip light combination code. There's a lot of threads in the "Issues/Warranty/TSB" forum that explain this issue in full, but basically the code is for a faulty cam actuator system on the intake side. The car is running perfectly fine, but it's in "limp" mode, meaning I'm only getting about 60% of my power. As if this car wasn't slow enough to start with, it's an absolute DOG now...getting onto the highway is scary, with the pedal glued to the floor in 3rd and barely moving. On the advice of Subaru Brampton service manager, I swapped the sensors from one bank to the other to see if the code flipped sides, but it did not. So I took my car to Subaru Brampton yesterday for a diag. Turns out the "learning values" in my ECU are 14 apart from each other, when they should be less than 10 apart. According to the service manager, that means the worst case scenario; my cam actuators, oil control valves, camshaft assembly with sprocket, and probably the ECU will all have to be changed to potentially eliminate the problem. I've seen a lot of other owners in the threads about this issue have to do the same thing. The advantage they have is warranty. I am at 110k now, and no extended warranty, so this is looking like I'll have to foot the entire bill. That is what is pissing me off the most about this whole thing. 99% of the stories I've read about this issue are from people who are still in warranty, so all of this was repaired at no expense. It is a KNOWN issue that has happened on hundreds, if not thousands, of cars in North America alone. There are TSB's that exist that talk about this SPECIFIC code. And yet, Subaru and Toyota don't want to take the blame or admit a fault. So basically, simply because I'm 10k over warranty, I am now being held responsible to spend $2k of my own money to fix a KNOWN issue. I have reached out to Subaru Canada to discuss and see if there's anything they can do, because I think that's bullshit, plain and simple, and I'm not spending a penny until I hear from them. I'm going to fight tooth and nail, and if they don't bend, sadly I might sell this car and never buy another Subaru product ever again. Sorry for the rant. I'm not happy about this whole situation, if you couldn't tell.
