Paging 18psi and z31maniac... What trans/diff fluid to you two recommend in my frs. All the popular subie/frs/brz sites recommend Motul... Though I'm a Amsoil fan and see others running Amsoil in trans/diff with no issues.... Going either or in the next few weeks, I just want smoother shifts 1-2-3 while cold. ATM, it's notchy AF with w/e the dealer has in it. At 69K miles, not sure if it's been changed out before as I'm the 2nd owner. Opinions?

 

CHANGE IT ASAP! Either brand is fine, I always preferred Red Line in my BMWs and other cars, because it's still a high quality oil, and it's usually readily available locally. Versus Motul that I ran in my BRZ that I always had to order.

Little known fact about the twins, the transmission change is interval is 22k miles, because of the low capacity, not the typical 30k miles like most cars. In reality, to keep the transmission smooth all the time, I'd shoot for an 18-20k change interval with high quality fluid.

 

I rolled over 200,000 miles on my way to a rallycross last week. I'm the original owner and still on the original clutch.

Also, I discovered suck at rallycross.

I offer $2

It's a good offer, literally double the asking price. You should totally take it.

 

Still no damn ND2s in OKC yet. There is 1 in Tulsa, and we have to be up there this weekend for a wedding, so I won't have the time to go test drive it. And do the "what will you give me trade-in, etc" for one.

I'm still not really seeing any GT-S cars, unless the dealers that do have them aren't naming them that way. After looking at the specs more, I don't care about the extra nannies, or leather seats instead of cloth, however, the idea of much thicker, quieter top is appealing since it will be my DD.

 

 

 

Vladituned?

 

Yes absolutely. How do you think it made 430?

*edit: I just realized I didn't post any info. D'oh!

STOCK EJ20x running ALLOFIT for over a year making 430whp (stock internals) and then he hydrolocks it and nukes it at idle lolol.
Pistons, bores, and bearings look great, wihch is a compliment to the tuning

 

Don't see too many like that. Glorious!

Hopefully that's not Junior's car, as if I am one to talk.

 

Nope, it's only a 2L, basically the 1.6L of subaru's

Junior ended up ripping an engine mount that day we were all racing, he's running solid mounts now

 

I better step up my game by March.

 

That's the background I was looking for. Dang, that was mangled.

 

There aren't very many things i hate more than pulling a subaru engine when it's below freezing.
Come to think of it, i usually end up working on subarus more than any other car. I think i might know why.

 

 

"friend"

All my fiends own Subarus. We are always working on them. I've learned to stick to Miatas.

Everything that is good is coming out of the rusty blue bugeye and going into the clean blue bugeye.

 

 

That old chassis has like 350k on it. Engine has 150ish with light mods. Considering Michigan will rust out anything within a few years, that's not bad. Held up pretty well.

 

 

Christmas has come early for the FRS



Been meaning to pickup the side markers for while. I have amber LEDs ready to go from Diode Dynamics. I'm looking to improve ALLTHETHINGS with shifting on this car. I will be also ordering amsoil fluids for engine/trans/diff. If I don't like the clutch spring I'll swap it out, we'll see how that goes. I'd install all of this myself but the MSM is in the garage :/ (I decided to keep it, planning to un-BEGi some of the things done to the car in the future... FF injectors & Megasquirt on the list )

Eventually will pick up the FT86 short shifter ($275), it uses ball bearings? Idk... but provides shorter throw distance and lowers the **** a little bit. Don't care much for the delrin reverse lock thingy it comes with, might switch the oem over to make everything still appear oem.
