Honestly, it’s a far better car than anything else I’ve ever owned, and I knew about it being picky with fuel before I bought so it isn’t really punishment. Way better then the POS domestic vehicles I’ve owned and worked on in just about every way, reliability, accessibility to work on it, and performance/fun of…

It’s a commonly known issue with the BRZ engine. At most altitudes they simply will not run on 89, this is easily googleable information. Heck I even personally know roughly 30 owners in the area and they all report the exact same.

I don’t believe that’s the case with the 86's. The only people I’ve seen that reliably run lower octanes are at considerably higher altitudes than I am. All the owners here have issues with 91, and I know for a fact some have run long term and they never got better until they remapped manually.

Yeah, I live in the plains of Ohio which really isn’t all that high above sea level, roughly 1000 ft. 93 is available almost everywhere here, if it isn’t 92 is. at 91 I start to get knock here and this seems to echo the experiences of about 25 other owners in our group. Some guys have re-tuned for 91 and it runs fine…

Actually they are all that way, it’s a well known issue that the BRZ/FR-S are extremely picky about their gas. Heck it literally says in the manual that it won’t run with gas under 91 and that some knock is expected at 91. I’m in part of a BRZ/FR-S group and literally every single person who owns one has had these…

The computer can, but I know I get some knock in mine at 91. If I understand, elevation (aka air density) can affect this too, so it may be different levels of knock at different places.

I feel it’s important to mention there is often only so much that an engine and it’s knock sensor can do to change timing and keep things working.

I know in my BRZ, it is a 14:1 compression from the factory and 93 is recommended. 92 seems to run fine, but at 91 you start to get some noticeable knock that it can’t…

If only one of those ports was type C 3A... darn

I’ve really liked my BRZ’s setup personally. 6-speed. Reverse is to the left and up, but has a lockout, you have to pull a little collar up to shift into it so that it’s impossible to go to it on accident instead of first.

While you might not be able too with smartwool brand, there are other high end socks that you actually could. I personally get my socks from Darn Tough and they give a lifetime warranty on all their merino wool socks. If something ever goes wrong with them, or they ever wear out, they will replace them, and they don’t…

Merino wool socks are pretty expensive, and in my opinion well worth the money. Although, I’m not a huge fan of the smartwool brand personally. They keep your feet noticeably more comfortable and dry and pretty much all situations. They are definitely a luxury comfort, but it’s one of the ones I most enjoy.

Hi Mike, I actually work in IT and am considering branching out into some white hat work as well as pen testing. From my research a lot of resources and certifications seem to be widely contested in their effectiveness.

In your opinion what are the best tools to start learning, and what kind of certifications are the…

Good ones hold up well. I have a pair of Jaybirds and they are actually coated with liquipel and have lifetime warranty for sweat damage.

So that means that the people who bought a new Ford GT aren’t just better then me because they can afford 1, they are better than me because they can afford 2?

This is the same kind of crap I hate about Ferrari. If I work my ass off for the rest of my life so that one day I have enough money that I can afford 1 car…

It’s for the whole file path, not just the file name.

I work in IT, and we hit this problem all the time. There is a number of different project management softwares that automatically name and sort files into a folder structure with many levels. It can make it hard to move that structure to another location because if the target directory has more characters then the…

What would you consider these from the BRZ STI Concept?

Notice to those who have new Android phones. This is Micro USB, not Type C so it likely won’t work for you.

Are these individually addressable like most RGB strips?

Has anyone figured out a way to disable the lockscreen in this update? I hate having to click to get the picture to fade before I can start typing my password. You could previously disable this with a group policy or a registry tweak, but neither of those seem to be working anymore.
