mfnick got a reaction from BRZ-123 in Recall issued on cars to have valve springs replaced 2012-2013
Just got mine booked in late May with Subaru Sheffield. Really put my mind at ease. Knew all about it, was aware of the problems that have been happening and assured me all would be fine.
They’ve got a few in for it as well so plenty of practice before mine. Feeling a bit more relaxed about it all now.
Recommend giving them a call if you’re near Sheffield at all.

mfnick reacted to Church in No Sound From USB Connection
OE audio & satnav solutions almost for all vendors always lag a lot in features and support. It needs to be certified by many standards and adhere many obscure requirements, it often lasts alongside life of many car models for 5+ years, so no wonder that most OE solutions are prehistoric and only on very latest models with especially marketed for new multimedia features they are not prehistoric, but just dated. Only aftermarket car audio vendors more or less keep up with generic consumer electronic progress. I'd say, we are lucky to not have tape recorders in our cars :). As for music .. my own choice on OE headunits of these cars would be using usb flash with mp3. Flashdrives are hell of a cheap for 32-64-128G sizes and can fit most music from average music collections many have. Of course, there also are some limitations, as in what filesystem type needs to be used, specific dir structure to ease selection/navigation or having mp3 tags entered for all files (depending if having satnav module or not, as IIRC it changed also mp3 playback firmware bit), but overall by simplicity and ease of use my choice would be mp3 off usb.

mfnick got a reaction from Badger in Howdo
Hey, just bought a BRZ over the weekend. Loving it
Had 3 Impreza STi’s over the years, the white one in the pics was my last and favourite. But I haven’t got a garage and was spending more time stressing about it rusting away than enjoying it so decided to try something new. Always liked the GT86/BRZ, especially BRZ because of that blue. Swapped from a 4WD to RWD just in time for rubbish weather haha.
The lack of power is very noticeable, especially when overtaking on a motorway. But to drive, it’s a joy. I’m loving the responsiveness and how it feels in the bends.
Going to do some light modding to it. Think some UEL headers are first on so I can get that rumble back.
Only pics I’ve got are from the ad for now.
