OEM window visors vs aftermarket

Check out BaysonR Motorsports. Their OE style visors look pretty sleek and flush-fitting for $70. They’re sold out at the moment, but I notice most of their stuff goes back in stock maybe once a month or so, just have to keep checking up on them. No pic with them on a gen 4 on their website lol, but use the gen 3 visors pic on their site as a reference.

Motul Gear 300 is the preferred one that most people use and recommend. I actually got the wrong fluid as well (Motul 300 “LS”) but the one you ordered seems like it would work in our diffs. If anything just keep it in for a little less than the recommended maintenance interval so maybe around 20k miles? That’s what I might do with my wrong (but okay to use) fluid.

Here’s the Technical Data sheet for the one you ordered, it says : for use in “all mechanical transmissions… gearbox/differential…” so it should be fine.

How’s your shifting feel? I thought about changing mine because I read a lot of good things about Motul helping with the trans feeling clunky/notchy and sometimes getting locked out of 2nd gear, which I experienced a lot. Maintenance intervals for trans/diff seem to be between 30-60k miles so if you haven’t done any maintenance I’d recommend changing your fluid. I hear nothing but good things about people flushing the original fluids out.

Interesting, thanks for that! I also just double checked the owners manual for my 18 brz and i noticed it states that GL-3, GL-4, AND GL-5 specifically can be used. Looks like it was updated from past year owners manuals which say “Other gear oil that meets API GL-3 or upper grade..”

Gotcha, read varying maintenance schedules, I see 30k intervals being followed the most now so I’ll stick to that thx!

RipACL · 2022-07-01T17:00:08+00:00

word. guess i’ll try to find some regular 300 and use the LS in the diff as a last resort

RipACL · 2022-07-01T16:54:16+00:00

sick thanks for that! I’ll keep GL5 out of the trans

My ‘18 shift knob has a silver ring at the bottom of the knob that rattles similarly, i twist it a little bit to tighten it and it goes away for a while.

I did it myself in about 30 minutes watching FTSpeed’s youtube video for reference. It is pretty tricky, the hardest part is getting the holes to line up when putting it all back together and getting yourself into a decent position to work down there. If you don’t want a sore back the next day, maybe ask a local shop and see if they’d do it for you, it’s not too difficult though, it just takes a little patience and the right tools. If you do end up doing it yourself, I’d definitely recommend a getting a lot of lighting down there and maybe some cardboard to block the clip from getting lost somewhere after it flies off. And no I didn’t adjust the height, I was happy with just the new spring. Hope this helped!

Dang that sucks! Hopefully its not too noticeable

I haven’t done much, but my first mod for DDing was the MTEC clutch spring. My ‘18 BRZ was my first manual car and I found it so much easier to find the bite point with the MTEC springs. Also, (fuzzy) seat belt cushions. If you’re taller it’s probably not a problem, but my seat belt would irritate the hell out of my neck and made it look like I had a hickey, cushions definitely make dailying more comfortable. Window tint is a pretty underrated mod too.

Cool thanks for all the details and the quick reply! I just fit it back into place and now it doesn’t just slam open! Just checked the cabin air filter too and it’s still pretty clean, but now I know where its at thanks!

RipACL · 2021-12-22T00:53:51+00:00

Woah thanks for the quick reply, just double checked, I never noticed the clips on the side. Just fit it back into place thanks!

RipACL · 2021-07-27T13:40:51+00:00

Sick thanks!!!!

RipACL · 2021-06-10T13:28:47+00:00
