Been a busy day today, including a bit of a horrorshow from the previous service.
The salesman promised to do a service before I picked her up, on the day I checked the air and oil filters - brand new. I checked the oil level, it was a bit over 'H' on the dipstick but not massively so. Anyway, a couple of weeks later I got a copy of the invoice (to prove the service for my history) and it revealed that not only was there cheapo oil (to be expected I suppose) but it was also the wrong grade. I decided to change the oil for the right grade (damn 0w-20 is expensive) and do the filters too. So I ordered 10 litres of Millers and oil and air filters that didn't cost 50p combined.
Dropped the oil out this afternoon, there's supposed to be 5.4L capacity (including a filter) and all this lot came out. That dog bowl has the best part of 10 litre capacity . It took me all of 2 minutes to find the correct capacity on Google. What's wrong with some people???
To top it off, both the sump plug and filter were touch tight, no tooling required. Nice!
Anyway, got that shock out the way and on to the fun stuff. Picked up this Ark GRiP second hand from another place (thanks billdingo ) It sounds mint!
Not too loud, quite deep on idle, nice bark on WOT and no drone on the motorway. Perfect for me and won't upset the neighbours on cold start. I'll do a noise vid in due course. Sort of got the weird scoobie burble sound going, which is quite charming IMO.
Cheapo enhancement to finish off, I kept my 350z cargo net as the fairly decent sized boot in the BRZ (it took my OEM exhaust with the seats down) has bit of hard and luxury free boot floor. This causes stuff to move around under normal driving, let alone fun. Picked four of these up from China on fleabay for a few quid.
Et voila!
A little piece of my Zed lives on in the BRZ (I also kept the Z's engine cover Ricey dipped, as a memento, it was too pretty to let go).
That's me done with enhancements, she's staying like this from here on. Only some lighter, wider, gold wheels can tempt my wallet out now.
