I'm just glad to see shops will no longer be able to rape people over an unlock. I come from other communities where info is shared amongst enthusiasts, so the whole gatekeeping thing never set well with me.

I appreciate the Black Sheep reference :D I know a handful of people that change their oil before every track day. I'd love for them to see this LOL.

Looking at your setup, I would say you will quickly drop over a second, with the aero and coilovers, even more depending on weather. My time was in 90* heat so quite a bit of time left on the table, for you. You have a lot to look forward to. BWRP is my home track, I love that place. I still...

Updated. FYI: I don't know 99% of the tracks out there, so I won't know abbreviations, different configurations, city/state, etc. When updating, I sometimes have to guess. So, feel to free to post corrections and I'll do additional updates, asap.

People have been driving RWD cars in Seattle since cars were invented. Unless you are grossly irresponsible, you will be fine. There are driving aids, if the weather is really bad. Ignore all the people that assume you have the lowest level of driving skill LOL. Worst case: if you WERE the...

Maybe he means $1500 to someone wanting them who's not buying the car.

It was tough to leave it alone, but the class I ran allowed so few points, the plates/wheels/tires are all I could do. I'm actually really glad, as it let me focus on other things, especially driving. The car is fast out of the box and my lap times were better than all but one of the modded cars...

Sorry to read about your troubles, dude. I used to deal with the same ALL the time. it's 50% the reason I started doing everything myself. There's one shop in my area I'd trust, but they do custom stuff, so their labor rates are insane. So.. still DIYing all my cars. :D All that is also the...

This comp sucks. LOL. At least the site isn't blocked. Yet... Updated.

Is it wrong that after reading that entire thread, what both interested and bothered me the most was people putting apostrophes in their plurals??

The Z is a great car for those nostalgic for model. Nissan should have priced it accordingly. They overestimated the market and paid for it. Nobody is paying those prices just because they are loyal to the brand.

If the mechanic finds anything odd, I'd contact Toyota about checking out the transmission and other related components. If something is wrong it would be an uphill battle, but it would need to be done.

Hard to say.. but if the original clutch failed ridiculously fast... and the new one just isn't working.. you have to consider something besides the clutch being the actual cause. The odds of Toyota AND your mechanic messing up an install are pretty low.

Someone was stating that the BRZ engine can't be that bad since cup cars seem to survive. I pointed out the cup cars have work done to stave off the common (but inevitable, I'm sure) oil issues, so they aren't the same as what someone will buy for the street. Maybe I quoted the wrong person. My...

updated.

like I said..... You think the cars at the dealership are built the same as Cup cars? Come on, now. It took a single search to educate myself. https://900brz.com/posts/gr-cup-reliability

I think you mentioned the original clutch dying after only a few miles. I'm wondering if there isn't an issue with the car itself.

If someone needs to worry about a car dropping a synchro while doing a track day, then that car is a POS. Unless this is a "the sky is falling" scenario, of course

I would do exactly what we are all telling you to do: take it back to the shop that installed it. Something obviously isn't right and the are obligated to help. That's what we've all been saying this whole time. It's acting like the clutch is not disengaging all the way. You need to take it...

Agreed with taking it back to this shop, since this is obviously an install-related problem. But it's still fun to do the detective work, in the mean time.
