I know that SIt technically doesn't mean turbo, but for the money you're going to put down on carbon fiber bits wouldn't it make more sense to just slap a turbo on it? Also, the most understated spoiler, it's like they aren't even trying.

That is like a zero effort STi version: "Hey let's put on a carbon hood and take some parts out of the bin!" Also if anyone else is thinking of getting some RCE springs they should talk to me.

j3rkstore posted:Got some tints and installed Racecomp Engineering sways and springs over the weekend Nice! How do you like them so far? You should post updates in a few weeks with after thoughts too. I'm thinking I'll go with the RCE springs in the next couple of months (as well at 17x9 golf rpfs and 235s). What made you decide to get the sway bars too? I've run bars on a few different cars and I'm not sure I want them for this car yet, but then, I also haven't taken it autocrossing yet... jamal posted:Also if anyone else is thinking of getting some RCE springs they should talk to me. Aye aye! Has anyone looked at (or heard in person) the OEM+ system addition? I like the aesthetics of how they put the kit together and am kind of looking at that too to give the sound just a tad more oomph.

Seat Safety Switch posted:Is that a one-car townhome garage with a two post lift? I saw this thing in Kelowna. http://townhomesfortoys.com/about/ For some reason they don't have any hi-res pics but it's basically a townhouse with like an 18" tall garage, the show suite I saw had some kind of municipal bus comfortably parked inside, each unit has an elevator that goes from the living area to the garage and it takes a full minute. It's actually pretty perfect for me. I'm single and really don't need the maintenance hassle of a big house/living area, but I also want to import an ex-Soviet 8x8 ballistic missile launch vehicle(  15 year rule) as a daily driver and I'm not going to park it outside in the rain.

That's push a button on the key to unlock door, but you still have to turn the key to start. A proper push button system means the doors auto unlock when you touch the handle, and then you push button to start car. Its all wireless from your pocket and drat convenient.

No, I think that was mostly because the tech for wireless keys wasn't affordable yet but they wanted a race-car inspired feature. As I recall, this sort of system got retrofitted on a bunch of Nissans and stuff during a mid-year refresh. Though the first prize for dumb hacky setups probably goes to keyless entry systems that have a starter button plus a key-shaped rotary selector switch where the key cylinder normally goes so you have to turn a switch and then hit a button.

The Noble M400 apparently has a key you put in and turn, a button on another fob that you hit to arm the fuel pump, and then a start button.

There are some really dumb systems where you stick the keyfob into a hole in the dashboard and then push the start button. But you have to actually stick the key into the dashboard or else it won't start. But it's not actually a real metal key either, it's just a plastic nub. Like in this picture of an E92  See the slot below the start button? If you didn't pay for extra keyless option, you've got to stick the key there. And if you buy it with the extra option the slot is still there but you just don't have to use it.

The key fob has a rechargeable battery that you have to charge every once in a while.

CharlesM posted:The key fob has a rechargeable battery that you have to charge every once in a while. This is wrong. If you have comfort access, the batteries are replaceable and do not recharge while it is inserted. It does however sync service history when you plug it in. Only the regular key recharges.

Lowclock posted:So uhh... What is wrong? The comfort access key (the one that doesn't need a slot at all) doesn't recharge the battery. lazer_chicken was pointing out that it's silly that the slot is still there on cars with comfort access since it's of little use. CharlesM is implying that you have to plug the comfort access key in once and awhile to recharge it, which isn't true.

What all that has to do with the 86 I'm not sure  Mat_Drinks posted:Nice! How do you like them so far? You should post updates in a few weeks with after thoughts too. RCE sponsors my friend and I think Myles is a pretty cool dude so I wanted to support them. I also didn't want a huge drop. I like a tighter car, and while it comes decently tight from the factory, the addition of the swaybars (currently on the lower setting both front and rear) definitely assisted in removing some of the body roll. My major initial impression is that the rear of the car rotates better through the corner and no longer feels like its playing catch up. The spring rate change isn't that extreme and I'm not finding too much extra harshness when daily-driving the car. I'm hoping to get this car on the track sometime this year however already having a dedicated track car it is difficult deciding which event to bring the BRZ to.

Well the BMW system does make sense, because you still need the slot there, so that when you're out in the sticks and the battery in the comfort access dies, you can still jam the key in the slot, have the car read the key by conduction(?) and start the car, right? I think that's how it works in most cars with the wireless access key except on some it's just an invisible spot on the dash somewhere that you have to press your keycard up against, which is worse.Snowdens Secret posted:Then you've got the Audi version where you stick the keyfob in the dash, it locks in place, and then you push the fob in and the engine starts.

Interesting. I've noticed a little something that I'd maybe call body roll, or fidgetiness at speed in corners, but I'm also not sure if it's the stock tires (possibly the narrowness or the sidewall). I'm going to get wheels and tires first and see how I feel after that. I like RCE for the most part, but I've ordered from them in the past and their communication wasn't the best. Hopefully that's improved because I want to like them.

Have people noted any other problems with the car(s) other than the CEL issue that may or may not have been related to cylinders misfiring or something? For that matter, is that issue still cropping up or did it get fixed? Every car ends up having some 'known problems,' so I'm curious if any of those have shown up yet. The car's still on its first model year, though, so I kind of doubt it.

Endless Mike posted:The fuel pump makes noises, but that's been sorted and they'll replace it with an updated on. Other than that, nothing major. The CEL issue is still cropping up, though an ECU flash seems to help some people. I think there was taillight condensation in early models too, but I believe that's been cleared up. Or if it isn't, mine doesn't have it as it's spring in Seattle.

Brace for long chain of question marks...Endless Mike posted:The fuel pump makes noises, but that's been sorted and they'll replace it with an updated on. If anyone should be in the SF bay area, any recommendations on Scion dealerships to visit or to not bother with, or is it all just a crapshoot? Any idea if the FR-S is currently backordered in the area, or has supply generally started to catch up at this point?

Mat_Drinks posted:No kidding, you guys aren't even talking about anything that in any way relates to the FRS/BRZ other than that the limited has a key fob option. Yeah a big part of that is the tires. However, once you put better rubber on the car you'll notice the suspension is too soft. RCE's goal is to be more of a manufacturer that sells their stuff to dealers than a direct sales shop, plus Myles does a lot of video production for k-pax racing and some tv shows so he's not always around. Another thing they've done in the last few years is reduce the number of resellers so that anyone you buy from that isn't RCE will actually know what they're talking about (although they sell springs to a big wholesale distributor so there are a bunch of people selling those). Anyhow, I personally am an RCE dealer, and know Myles pretty well so you don't really need to deal with rce directly if you don't want to. Plus I have a tendency to give out goon discounts.
