Welp. Battery died. Went on holiday for three weeks and left the car on the drive. When I got back, the engine cranked very slowly and only just started (which was a relief, as I needed to clear the driveway). Drove it around the block a bit and parked it up. Yesterday, I had the boot open for...

Well, fingers crossed. I know it's working as intended, but I'm still not sure if this intermittent issue where it doesn't initiate sometimes, is fixed. Will have to drive it a bit more. Besides, I'm technically out of warranty now.

Awesome. As ever, let this be another good reason to RTFM. This tracks - I did a bit of Googling the other day and found that you can get into the factory diagnostics mode on the head unit (Hold both skip track forward/back buttons, double press the tuning knob), and looked at the camera...

Over the past couple of weeks, I've had a couple of times where the reverse camera has not showed up when going into reverse. No big deal, I figured it might be just a gremlin in the head unit software or something, or maybe a battery issue. Reverse lights are still fine, and so is the "R" gear...

Wasn't sure this deserved it's own thread so will post here. Looks like StopTech is going under. https://www.motor1.com/news/787179/stoptech-ceasing-operations/ I already have the Endless pads I bought a few months ago but as my OEM ones were actually looking okay, I decided to hold off...

I've got a couple of these in the garage and they are awesome for several reasons, but one is that they work even when upside down: https://www.kwazar.co.uk/846/Kwazar-Mercury-Pro-360-Trigger-Sprayers Currently used for wheel cleaners and citrus APC, but I wonder if they might work well for...

I found the same, it's very thick, so I found spraying it on as best I could, then just wiping it around with a rag was best...but pretty messy. I could do with going over mine again, I think they sell it as and aerosol so I might try that next.

I've been thinking about this every so often for a while now. I kept meaning to buy a new valve but I couldn't seem to find one to order online. Couldn't be bothered with phoning Toyota to order one, so I just left it. Then I found the part on eBay...not a proper OEM one, but matching part...

Just had an Amazon delivery, and the courier stopped to ask me about the car, said he loved it and thought it looked brilliant. Chatted for a bit, he said his brother was looking at importing one as they're hard to get now. I feel really bad because I told him to get in touch with Rogue...

We shouldn't have stopped after the first two atom bombs.

Had mine over a year, still happy with them.

Done.

I have been playing with knobs again. After ditching the Billetworkz last year (too cold) which was heavier than OEM, I wanted to try something lighter. I'd seen the Blitz knob, but I'm sure at the time they only did it with the red collar, and also, it comes with a logo on the shift sticker -...

Before you do anything, have you tried giving the port on your phone a good clean? I've always found that after a few months, my phone will stop charging or connecting sometimes, and the port would become really unreliable, and it always turns out to be that it's just getting filled with...

It should do. Any alignment tech who knows what they're doing should be making sure the steering wheel is centred before making adjustments.

@MartinT is your man for this :) He's got a great thread about his imported BRZ in the Member's Cars section. https://www.gr-zoo.com/threads/importing-my-2023-jdm-brz.9134/

"How many accessories would you like?" "Yes."

I'm not entirely convinced strut bars have a huge effect. I had the Cusco bar for about a year. After fitting, it felt like the front end felt a little more solid and maybe the car settled better after tight cornering...but when I removed it so I could fit the Nameless V-braces instead, I...

My monitor arrived today. Quick to fit and setup, apparently as of just now, in 5 degrees temperatures and having not been driven since Thursday morning (and then not for much more than half hour or so), it's reading 12.4v with 68% SoC. Not really much I can do with that I do at the moment but...
