On order now

I actually saw your twin car about a mile behind you today. I think it was a base with no tint, but same color. Kinda freaked me out for a second.


I was like "wave to Parker...."

*mile later*

"wave to....what?"

Haha, I've seen my twin when I've been in other cars... but not mine yet.

I saw you this morning and realized it was you about half a second before you passed by.


On a side note. There is a rattle IN my driver door, in the back top corner of it [closest to my ear]. I say IN it because I removed the door panel and it was still there. Its driving me insane. And now my ECU is having the awesome high pitch annoy the **** out of you want to go kill yourself wtf is happening sound.

All of this after my warranty ran out.

Only one way out


For the ecu whine, the dealer should take care of it even out of warranty. It's pretty common and well known as a flaw.

For the rattle, you're probably sol. I fixed it once by getting a piece of crap out with a magnet, but the next time it happened I could not get rid of it to save my life....

Hmm... magnet, I haven't thought of that. I have a pretty powerful magnet I might try to see if it will make it stop..

The rattle bothers me more than the whine. Is there a TSB out for the whine?

I plan to give the FR-S/BRZ some seat time when it makes it to dealerships. I know its no 5.0, or 400hp beast.. But I think it could be a fun little car. All depends how the 200hp feels at 2700lbs.
