I actually prefer the oven method. They stay crispier that way.

I bought a dozen of these last time they were on sale. A couple notes:

Honestly, in either example, I’d just get the thing where I’m at. My time is worth more than spending 30 minutes drive (+ another 30 back)+gas money to save $10.

This is like the people who drive clear across the city to save $0.05 per gallon on gas, you end up spending more getting there than you actually save.

I’ve had this brand before, they are very very thin. I wouldn’t recommend using them on a car, or anything that has a high shine finish you want to keep unscratched.

Actually, it would be illegal in single party states too. The guy who owns the vehicle/camera isn’t with them and isn’t part of the conversation so he is not a party. Both parties are employees of the dealership, neither of which gave consent.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was still legal in some states since it is…

They’ve been rolling it out in stages over the course of a couple weeks. You should see it soon.

The BRZ manual actually states minor knock can occur with 91 octane, not sure if the FRS one says that our not, never looked at any of my friends. My guess is you are either at a higher altitude where you don’t experience it, or you’ve never had something plugged in to detect the minor knock that does happen. It’s am…

It typically depends on altitude. Higher altitudes don’t need as high octane of fuel in most typical situations. I’m only about 1000ft above sea level.

You’d be looking for an optical network terminal. There are definitely options out there, but you need to talk to your ISP about what they support, it’s normally a much more limited list compared to how wide cable modem support is. They might only support a couple different models.

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.
