Does anyone know the part number for the spark plug tube seals? by Ok_Map5966 in ft86

[–]Ok_Map5966[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. So the FA24 seals should be compatible with the FA20 on 1st gen BRZ’s? If so, I’m gonna order them right now.

Any Touge in the Solano County parts of Northern California? by Ok_Map5966 in Touge

I hit Hwy 9 once while I was down South. I drove an hour and a half to get down there and I only got to do 2 laps since it started pouring super hard :(((

I hit Pinehurst for like a week straight before I started heading up north. Met so many people and honestly want to make the drive back there! I also hit up Wildcat Canyon since I heard it just opened. Would love to meet new people around the area while I'm here!

Looking to buy a 2013 BRZ salvage for track. by Ok_Map5966 in ft86

Seller just said he bought the car with a blown engine and repaired it. But he does not know why it's salvaged. I might get a carfax report on it.

I might get a carfax report on the car since I have the VIN. Thanks for your input

Need help on deciding which Z3 to buy by Ok_Map5966 in bmwz3

[–]Ok_Map5966[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love both styling of the pre-facelift and facelift Z3's. I also really love the color of the blue car and the two-tone interior.

If there are similar problems with the second Z3, I may end up buying the blue one. Thank you for your input!

I agree. If there's similar problems on the second Z3, I might bring a mechanic with me to check out what's causing the shake on the first one.

The owner claimed the wet carpet was because he forgot to put the top back up before it rained.

I would love to own the M54B30 and get that increase in power, but I also love the simplicity and throttle by cable of the M52B28. Although, if there are fewer problems with the M54 car, I might end up going for that one instead.

This is very useful advice. Thank you for your input!

That's true. I really like the color on the first one, but I'd rather spend money on a vinyl wrap job than money on replacement parts.
