gasoline dries quickly and usually doesnt leave much other than light smell especially on paint. on the seals it can discolor it, but since you said it rained pretty hard, im sure it washed off. but yah, definitely wash and wax/sealant when you get a chance.

GL with your online school graduation!

Think Celica.

yah, the BRZ looked kinda

to me, but i think the scion might look a tad better? not sure, but there was nothing that caught me emotionally when i saw the BRZ. heck, i was at the subaru dealer the other day and even forgot to look.

hahahaha.

Hey Z fellows

Haven't driven my Z in 4 days

Dropping my son off with wife's car (by wife's aunt to babysit) back home to switch cars to do 2hrs worth of errands in about 4 hrs

Also about to put down a deposit on 3piece forged wheels

defintely most expensive mod to date...and I'm supposed to be in "debt repayment mode" but couldn't resist.

Hi Mr Kenchan

I plan to have fun...Z withdrawl is rough

I was going to go with SSR as well...the SSR MSI professors but I am giving a company called ISS Forged a chance. Been good comments on them, they are stateside, 4 week wait...there is a thread about them in the wheels section.

Idk

I did go out this morning and tighten the brackets at the throttle body on the passenger side. The ones around the cones are perfect - I think I realized exactly what you said about the softness when I installed them because they are snug but not too tight. On my way to lunch, I tested out some heavy braking in 2nd at 6500 RPM and no rattle. But it was a crazy enough sound yesterday that I'm not completely convinced that my 30 sec fix corrected whatever it was that caused the noise.

ahhh, sounds good!

ive not seen the ISS in person, but ive seen their pictures and they do look good. i hope you dont run into issues like the ADV1's that ive seen in the wheel/tire form.

thanks, jar!

im going to keep the 2.0i sport-premium as my choice #2.

hope that rattle doesnt come back. was it a metalic sound rattle or more dense/lower frequency sound?

Very metallic... higher pitched for sure. Not quite sure why, but that makes me more wary than if it were a lower frequency sound. Are you thinking about something specific?

metallic, huh....hummm... well there's really nothing on the intake that would make a metallic noise unless the post-MAF tube is hitting something.

i removed the front strut bar when i installed my R2C long time ago, same with when i did the post-MAF tube. could the bar be loose?
