WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[Ganthrithor]

Parked it because the flasher relay that came with my Tom's tails failed... my left turn signal light gets stuck permanently on (like, stays illuminated even after I've turned the car completely off). Pulled the fuse to save my battery. Found out after work that if I cycle the electrics on and off a few times and then mash the hazards, I can re-set it, but if I use the left turn signal again it re-freezes.

Gonna try the Diode Dynamics relay unit and see if that lasts any longer.

e: So, "while I was on there," I added an always-on harness for the hawkeyes / DRLs

Definitely felt heavier in the hand while both were unscrewed from the stick.

I won't be able to give a great opinion on it till the weekend when I get to drive more (only drove a mile with it today to get gas ).

Lol! All good. i saw somebody was selling it online too. But yeah. I just don't like the 1lb heavy shift knob coz the stock is great just need a very little weight on it. So I was looking into this one. Let me know after you get to drive it more and get more feedback. Thanks!

Yeah, my goal was to not be too crazy if I did get a new knob since I honestly didn't know what I'd want. My main need was a knob with a bit of a different shape and texture. So far I like that this one feels less slippery than the regular stock one. It's not entirely just a grippy texture, but it's definitely an improvement over the old one.

As far as shift feel, I've driven the car a bit more over the past couple of days. I'd say there's some improvement in shift feel for sure. I think there were times when it took maybe a bit more effort with the older knob to complete a shift throw, but now it can be easier.

I'll be honest and say it could very well be placebo to me just because I only know how the stock one feels and have no other reference points. On the other hand it definitely weighs a bit more than the original, so I'm sure that helps.

From your pic, appears that piece of metal would still be inside top of the front cover. Not sure where you are stating it went in...center or outside holes ?

Possibly could come out with a tiny magnet OR strong vacuum applied to just where it went in.

Certainly you are being cautious in not going any further at this point.

If it were me and I could not figure it out myself, I'd go to a Subaru engine mechanic and talk with him on his lunch hour...see if he has any ideas, or would be willing to come to your home.

Understandably, you are trying to find answers without having to take the front cover off the engine.

Possibly it might come out through one of those oil sending unit holes below the oil filter...possibly the upper hole...

Edit: Sorry I misunderstood....Thought that piece of oil filter wrench went into oil filter area. What you mean is that it went into oil fill area...now I understand.

Someone who knows Subaru engines would know better than I, if those tin covers over front of cams can be removed for access to the area you now need to get to...me assuming you might be able to fish it out from near bottom of front cover.

it was sitting on what appeared to be the top of the cam but i dropped it with my plyers and it tinked all the way down. im really tempted to try and flush it out with oil but dont want to make it worse

Became a Subaru today

[Bowen]

C.Quartzed the 57CR's. Procedure was straight forward, and pretty easy since the wheels are 5 spoke. I still have about 75% of the bottle left, so I'll probably do my TC105N's before the summer.

[echo419]

washed it.

[CJRhoades]

Ordered a set of winter wheels and tires. 17x8 Drag DR-31's in bronze and 225/45R17 General Altimax Arctic's. Should be here next Friday.

I got under the rear end of my vehicle for the first time tonight, in hopes of removing the stock catback to replace it with the CSG x MXP one. To my surprise, there was a Magnaflow catback already on the car. I had no idea. I've owned the car for a year now.
