I read the BRZ owner's manual, and I learned...

[Phaedrus29]

OK I haven't read through the whole thing yet, but this is what I learned so far. Figured it might be useful to others:


I'm not allowed to use an aftermarket spoiler:

"Do not attach any accessories other than genuine parts to the trunk lid."


I'm going to have a difficult time locking people in my trunk:

"The trunk lid can be opened by pulling on the glow-in-the-dark lever located on the inside of the trunk lid."


I'll have to keep something in my car, like perhaps a bat, to keep my passengers in check. In any event, I shouldn't use the seat:

"Take care not to hit passengers with the seat."


The manual recommends that I have a Subaru dealer. Well duh, how else am I going to get the car:

"If the window continues to close but then re-open slightly even after performing the above procedure correctly, we recommend that you have your SUBARU dealer."


OK here's a real question. The manual says:

"If unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 93 AKI (98 RON) is not avail- able, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI (95 RON) may be used with no detriment to engine durability or driveability."

I'll search other threads on this, but just wondering. 91 really doesn't affect durability or driveability? My wife's turbo Forester says "Premium only" but then when you look in the manual it says 91 octane. Just wondering if they are saying 91 is perfectly fine for the BRZ.


OK more nuggets of info once I've read more. Did you learn anything from reading the manual that I missed?

I saw that. I thought that was more of a "let's seriously discuss the manual" thread.

?

Sounds to me like you've uncovered some very valuable information.

The Subaru owner's manual tells you very clearly that there is indeed a proper way to insert the dead hookers into your trunk.

First.. you may use whatever weapon you choose to kill said hooker as long as it is not the seat.
Second, it is improper to attach the now dead hooker to the trunk lid as if it were a spoiler.
Third, make sure once again that your dead hooker is really dead before inserting into trunk or the dead hooker might be able to pull the glow in the dark strap and escape from your trunk.

Finally some valuable information from an auto owner's manual!

Hmmm... how about this? Does that help you out? http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...ight=93+octane
