Brought my car for service and inspection to a Subaru dealership for the first time in 3 years of ownership. The service manager said my car was in top notch condition and no faults found. Which was quite a compliment since I have been doing all the servicing myself at home :ROFLMAO: Great...

woke up at 4:30AM and went for a drive..

I just returned from my trip Prague - Copenhagen. How cool! Safe travels! I will leave these pics from the trip here. I took her on a ferry for the first time, german pensioners were looking at her and scratching their heads like "Was ist das?". I also randomly walked by the Royal Car Park...

I fitted Falken FK520, which is a great tire. Perfect balance between grip, safety, comfort, fun. It is hard to explain but it feels like the car is driving straight finally… with my other set of PS4 and especially Primacies I felt like I have to micro correct the steering wheel all the time...

not today, but I have been looking for new wheels for some time now. I was interested in Advan TC-4 for the 86/BRZ cup in Japan, however Advan came back asking for the BRZ/86 cup registration, which I obviously don't have. :D I did some digging around and social engineering, fast forward few...

here's my latest result of used oil analysis Sample: Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 Type of use: 2 trackdays, spirited hard driving 3300 km on oil 13200 km on car I am really happy with the viscosity retention. I am staying with Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 for now.

no, but that is either because of the knock-off cable or the cracked version of the Techstream. Techstream would not show you something that it can't do if that makes sense.

What? The TPMS is one of the few things that actually comes from Toyota on this car. It is similar to what EU Yarises and Corollas had for ages. I have a cracked Techstream and a knock-off OBD cable and anytime I wanted to write the second set, either the techstream crashed or the cable lost...

There wont be any recommended 40 weight oil… I recommend going Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30, it is a very thick 30 weight, so may consider it as a 40 weight oil. It hold viscosity pretty well and you should be fine with that especially if you run oil cooler. If you are keen on 40 weight oil, pick low to...

Just came back from a first proper drive on dry B roads. Long story short they are great. These pads should come on the car from factory, nothing crazy, it feels OEM. Pads are definitely more capable than the Primacies I have on the car now. Zero noise, better control, much more confident...

MX72 Plus pads are on

there's no such thing as break-in oil in this car from what we saw in results of oil analyses. It's only "good" for the break-in in the sense, that it accelarates the wear, so you want to dump that oil ASAP. It is a very low quality 0W-20 (more like a 0W-16, after couple thousands miles probably...

yup, that's correct. It was my first time doing such job as well. It is easy, just be sure the car is level. There are two plugs, one for the fill from the side, one for the drain in the bottom. Make sure to always loosen the fill plug first so you don't end up stuck mid job with an empty MT or...

Any GL4 75w for the MT and GL5 75w-85 or 75w-90 for the diff will do. Just make sure you choose the right API GL spec and don't forget to replace crush washers as well. Cou can play with the viscosity based on your use case... I changed mine at 3k miles, I used Liqui Moly Top Tec MTF 5100 75W...

We expect photos, sound clips and detailed write up and review!

Do you all guys run 5W-30? If not then this is your sign to do so ASAP. Ever since running 5W-30 my consumption is nearly gone, it still consumes a little bit during track days (100ml maximum per event), but that is absolutely normal. Failed PCV usually results in outrageous consumption like 1L...

That audio is definitely picked up from the engine bay, I am still looking forward for some fly-bys shots... And honestly the price isn't that bad considering how much carbon intakes usually cost IMO. What is intriguing to me are those dyno figures on their website. Unless there isn't anything...

Do we know the spec of the oil? Would be interesting to know what dealerships use. I don't want to be a nitpicker but 5w-30 isn't automatically life saver. We've seen 5w-30 oils shearing down to xW-20 levels quite quickly.

Haha I wish! I am not, but it is a guy well known in the local community! How does your car drive on those fat tires? I love the rpf1 setup!

small local track in Sosnova, Czechia. There is a decent organizer that hosts these events that are just 3 hours long, which is enough for me and my car and I am not overpaying for time that I wouldn't use anyway. Also the owner of the track doesn't mind powerslides/light drifts, making it very...
