A few of us (a a bunch on this forum) are running Motul 300 75W90 without any problems (so far

) You'll need about 4L.

Was thinking Motul or Redline MT90

I was a bit worried about the stock bolts shearing as I've read a few threads about it on here. Luckily getting the stock ones off was pretty easy but I didn't expect how difficult it would be to clamp the new ones on. They seem pretty sturdy but I can still rotate them with a bit of force.

Definitely like the look a lot more with the diffuser. Looking forward to eventually replacing the entire exhaust down the road. Gonna start saving

I know I'm really late to the party... but just wondering are the crickets an almost everyone problem? Just hit 1300 miles and they started up.

Sorry to beat a dead horse

Embrace the crickets. Or try Shell gas if you don't like them, they don't make noise for me when I fill up there.

I'm at 20k and they're still there like @Clipdat said embrace the crickets

Pwolf · 10-08-2013, 10:13 AM

I've had em since the first week and I just try to block it out.

Crickets are considered good luck in some cultures.

The horse is so dead we've already measured 2 half lifes on the carbon atoms. There are probably quadruple digit threads on this forum about people that mention the crickets.

Sooooo my girl lives near Irving and 4th Ave in SF (Kinda by UCSF), is that a safe place to park on the street overnight with my orange RPF1s? I've parked there a bunch of times on my black grids but I'm more worried with the ORANGE wheels.

I wanna stay at her place this Saturday then go straight to AutoX in Oakland on Sunday AM.

Haha no place is safe to park in SF, unless it's a parking garage or something. My girlfriend has the most unoffensive car on the planet and it got keyed for no reason while parked on the street, right next to where we live, which is basically the suburbs of SF.

Plus, I thought you didn't care about your car. What does it matter what happens to it?

Honestly though, you should be fine. It's not a bad area or anything.

Pwolf · 10-08-2013, 01:10 PM

Yea, my sister's BMW has been keyed 3 or 4 times since she moved to SF. I figure no place is safe in SF.
