  1. My son spotted his BRZ at the port and took the photos before the dealer knew it was there
  2. John, I for one, would rather see you emerge from a rental Camry with a smile than with grimace of pain from GR86. My understanding is that we gather to see the people first, and cars second. I expect there will be at least one BRZ there if you get nostalgic.
  3. My boys went to a few of those and when I asked if I could join they told me pretty much the same thing - "You will not like the crowds". Instead we went to a meet at a new shop that the owner is positioning more towards higher end German cars. Nicer and much more disciplined people, with lots of young drivers as well.
  4. I had to sell mine, was way too loud for me. Plus being an echo chamber of the wagon didn't help.
  5. Awesome, thank you! I'll order the parts for all of them, and will see if I can avoid taking the dashboard out.
  6. My driver side climate control actuator is kaput. Stuck in fully open position blasting heat. Was OK in the winter but now that the temps are in their 50s during the day it has become a problem. Anyone have part ## for both? I recall reading that a) replacing driver side is more difficult b) some WRX actuators are 100% fit despite different part#.
  7. That's a great and important point. I remember reading about French resistance sabotaging new trucks they were building for Nazi Germany Wehrmacht during WW2 by making the oil dipsticks longer than originals.
  8. Awesome, thank you @Dre617! I agree with your conclusion about dealer's concern for the labor charges. I may end up doing the work myself unless I find a shop willing to be reasonable. Reading through others' experience should help with the plan.
  9. Glad wife made it to parking safe. Exact same thing happened to my middle son's 2010 Outback. I was able to talk SOA into covering $500 towards all brake lines swap as a good will gesture, the car was long out of warranty. Do you mind sharing how much did it cost you to get all brake lines, fuel tank and filler neck replaced? I have to do the same thing as my tank got smelly. Did the garage put OEM parts on it? My local dealer is not feeling hot about doing the job for some reason.
  10. Sounds like it would be easier to sell as is with disclosure and parts provided. It is not a difficult job to do but it takes time.
  11. DMFW made for slower acceleration but my main complaint was its main feature, that is how smooth the engagement was. It was really nice on the road but when I had to start motion going uphill it was a struggle simply because it was difficult to feel when the clutch would begin to grab. That made for a few fantastic mornings when I had to jump across a lane of crossing traffic to the other side of the busy road coming up hill from a pit on the T intersection. Ended up changing my morning commute route. DMFW was great for cruising but worse for spirited driving where a lot of fast shifting was required.
  12. Looks awesome! I guess it is for the better I never really figured out the whole Yahoo Japan auctions thing. So much money was spent on different things for LGT as is.
  13. I did pull the engine when I did the STI 6MT swap. I wanted to get few other small things done as well to the engine as well so I figured it would be easier with the engine on the stand where I can turn it any 360 degrees in warm well lit garage.
  14. How does it compare to an LGT Wagon? The size is one thing but I am interested in overall `feel`.
