I'm talking about these baby boys not the giant fuck off wing on the TS edition.

I actually prefer the look of the trunk without the spoiler but if there is an amazing aero benefit from it then I'm not opposed. I don't hate it I just don't love it.

On a related note if I go to a dealer and buy an edition that comes with the spoiler by default, will they sell it to me without the spoiler if I specifically request it? Swap the trunk out at the factory or something?

I know that you can get RCA > XLR plug adapters etc but obviously this is not making the unbalanced signal into a balanced signal.

I've tried to google this, I've found a few products that claim to do the job but details are minimal and untrustworthy.

For example this pre-amp: https://wyred4sound.com/products/pre-amps/mpre that claim "Unbalanced to balanced conversion (when RCA input selected and XLR outputs are being used)" so I'm guessing it must be possible, but I don't really want a 4 figure pre-amp to do a simple job.

I'm also wondering what effect it would have on the fidelity of the sound?

Hello,

I searched for threads on this but did not find anything, sorry if it's already been asked.

Is there an option in Sonarr to set the time zone I want to use for the episode calendar? Right now I'm overseas and it's showing all my episode airing dates and times wrong, I want to keep the same time and date as my country of origin.

Thank you :)

It seems like just about everybody who owns an 86/BRZ even with a totally stock engine seems to go with 10+ inch wheels and the craziest widest tires that will fit, lots of people even going for wide body mods to fit even wider tires.

This seems counterproductive to me since wider tire = slower acceleration which people already whinge about with these cars.

I'm assuming that in reality (aesthetics aside) the factory 215 wide is fine for the stock engine, Toyota/Subaru know more about engineering than we do.

But what about forced induction? Has anybody ever actually tested minimum tire width (to avoid spinning out) or is it all purely aesthetic?

The 2018 86, obvious, it's an angry, angry fish. Ironically I actually think I prefer it to the 2018 BRZ?

The BRZ, I dunno, I'm just not a fan of non-functional "aero" accessorizing. Looks like somebody cut and pasted the wrong shape.

The older styles with more "solid" front ends really appeal to me. Do I have any realistic options other than waiting for somebody to crash a 2013 Scion? "Realistic" meaning that it won't cost me $10,000 for a body kit.

Long story short, I don't think I could own an 86/BRZ without at least modding it with headers/tune, the torque gap is too real. I'm assuming it's a stupid idea to buy a brand new BRZ and then immediately cancel out the warranty by modifying it.

So I'm wondering if it's possible to get all the improvements from 2017 BRZ and apply them to an older model? I'm guessing this would not be cheap?
