Changed the oil on the car for the first time since owning it. Oil had 4000 miles from last being changed by the Toyota dealership I bought it from. The oil that came out 1. looked brand new and 2. was exactly 6.5l. Soooo guess some dealerships do know what they are doing I suppose. Of course no...
Thanks for the reply this is great. Sounds like an aftermarket rear sway bar will reduce how unsettled the car gets when going off throttle to straighten out a drift - among things.
I think it performs excellent at night, but you can see for yourself. Here is raw 4k footage from three different light conditions while driving: overcast, dusk, night. Make sure you adjust the quality setting to 4k.
Primarily because I live in TX where we have backroads with a constant layer of dust/debris and weather patterns that look like this:
I've ran EC02s in California when I lived there, but not yet in Texas - so it's not that I am opposed to the idea, I just feel DWS06 might be better under...

Allowing quicker clutch kicks as it brings the clutch engagement closer to the floor
Shortens the distance your knee moves when releasing the clutch, decreasing the chance of your knee hitting the bottom of the steering...
Less engine movement means less bushing deflection along the chassis but more importantly along the drivetrain which is a primary source of wheel hop in a RWD platform. It also means less pinion angle slop making a smoother power delivery to the rear differential.
Now to your point it doesn't...
Welcome welcome, glad to see another manual. Have fun with the 10 million dollar a year registration fees in California! I kid I kid it's only 1 million a year.
Made a small update to my original post about the power flex inserts. Essentially in cold-freezing weather wheel hop is definitely still there, just not as much as it was without the inserts.
I personally have never had issue with Costco tire center, it's actually one of the biggest reasons I have my membership as I don't really ever shop there much otherwise. Your mileage may vary!
Thank you! Guess I'll be adding some rear sway bars to the list :)
I haven't decided what wheels to get... I have a couple of friends who have ordered "forged" rims from AliExpress recently and I am just waiting for them to get their sets to give me feedback. But from the few reviews I have...
