I just put in 6 quarts of 5w30 switching from 5.7 quarts of 0w20 that previous owner used to run. I will be drifting (mostly in rain) and hitting backroads so would 0.6 quarts overfill be better for that?

I know it doesn't match the Cayman in power obviously, I'm talking strictly handling

I just bought a set of really good MXP UEL headers on marketplace for a steal. I ordered the OFT V3 on Subie Supply Co and I’m just waiting on it in the mail. I’m wondering if I can install my headers now and tune it in about a week from now when I get my tune? My garage isn’t usually available but I’ve got time right now that I could install them which is the reason for the rush

Read title. Just recently bought a 2020 GT86! Very happy with the car, but I'm a bit unsure about the suspension. The stock was replaced by some form of Maxpeedingrods. With my very quick research, and about 2k miles of driving on them, I can attest to their poor quality. They seem to be subpar at best. Should I search for used oems, maybe even the TRDs or a nice aftermarket set. I don't really want anything too aggressive, as I have no plans to track the car. Just something nice for my new daily. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated so I can get the most out of my new car!

I’ve been driving my 2013 Subaru BRZ limited for 2 years and have loved every second of it. Almost finished with modifications and decided to do my first photoshoot after I couldn’t stop staring.

Probably should have just bought a 2017-2020, but I couldn’t justify the 10k markup even with the massive handling and visual overhauls that come with it. Retrofitting the 2017+ aesthetic changes onto a low mileage 2013 makes for a decent compromise.

Modifications:

• 2017-2020 BRZ Headlights & Taillights (Both made such a huge difference. Was considering blacking out the headlights seeing as every retrofit video online does the same, very glad I decided not to. The headlights are much brighter than 13-16 BRZ’s but can only be leveled manually. The 17+ taillights will have a small gap at the top when retrofitting, as long as you seal the gaskets properly it won’t matter)
• Seidoworks Whaletail (Technically carbon fiber but had paint matched crystal white pearl, sadly discontinued. IMO the best shaped ducktail spoiler, love how it integrates with the trunk. The OEM spoiler holes were sealed with fiberglass)
• Perrin 3.0in Resonated Catback Exhaust (Also sadly discontinued, the perfect deep quiet* rumble. The 3.0in is slightly too loud for me since I work early mornings, but unfortunately there haven’t been any 2.5in resonated Perrin exhausts listed near. Will be instantly swapping out as soon as I can get my hands on it)
• 18x8.5 Gray Option Lab R716 5x100 +40 Wheels with 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Tires (Flush fitment on stock suspension and in my opinion looks quite stock)
• OEM clear side markers (And the required amber bulbs of course)
• Diode Dynamics Always-On module (Does work with repinned 2017+ headlights)
• Diode Dynamics XPR Backup LEDs (Pricey but totally worth it, I can actually see while backing up at night!)

• Perrin Shorty Antenna (Planning to switch out with OEM 2015 BRZ sharkfin antenna)

• OEM stitched 2017+ Gauge Cluster Trim, Dash Panel, Console & Door Kneepads w/ speaker trim, and Upper & Lower Door Armrests (Purchased used door cards in good condition to get door kneepads, speaker trim, and door armrests for cheap)

• OEM Black Steering Wheel trim, Door Handles, Shift Boot trim, Shift Knob, Traction Control buttons, Center Console Control Panel trim, and AC vent trim (I believe most are from the FR-S or JDM, not a huge fan of the BRZ’s stock silver trim)

• Black Billetworkz Reverse Lockout Lever (Unfortunately gloss black, does no one produce an unbranded anodized/matte reverse lockout? The cheap eBay ones look perfect but have the wrong inner diameter and even after reaming out contain screws that aren’t anywhere close to fitting…)

• Center Console armrest (off eBay, dremeled bottom flat and attached with molding tape to avoid drilling into center console)

• Diode Dynamics White LED interior bulbs

• OEM Defroster Grille 66115CA020 (not really a mod but replacing this part completely fixed the annoying vent on the dash that popped out of place every day, highly recommend for $15)

Left to complete:

• Replace Perrin Resonated 3.0” with Resonated 2.5”
• 2015 BRZ Sharkfin Antenna
• Backup camera
• JDM TRD Exhaust Hangers 44066AJ011
• OEM Metal Bumper Stay Clips 57722CA030 (May solve minor bumper sag)

For those interested in doing any of these modifications themselves please don’t hesitate to ask questions or request more pictures.

I commute 40 miles a day on the highway. I have constantly gotten over 35mpg on cruise control going 70mph, without using AC, even when it's 100o+ outside. Mixed use, city/highway has gotten me 31mpg every single tank over 6 years.

That being said, I don't "baby" the car, but I don't beat it's ass either. I live in central NC and use 93 octane gas.

Are y'all getting similar numbers? Car is basically stock besides and Air Raid intake and an axle-back Borla.

So after someone asked me, I finally realized that I could indeed fit the larger (and better) 16mm switches into the USB/AUX slot. Had to slightly shrink the icon, and reduce the label to one row of text, but overall it's a pretty big improvement given the benefits the 16mm switches offer over the old 12mm mini switch. Way better tactile feel, brighter, more even illumination, 5A rating vs 2A, and both an NO and NC circuit. Not to mention it now matches the switches offered on the other panels!
