Man this thing needs to get finished. Wish you the best of luck man.

Is that according to filling up at the pump or according the the owner's manual?

Yeah, but your sti and your wrx didn't come with 110hp.

I had an RS prior and own a Bugeye as well, they both have the 15.9 gallon tank for sure, but my gc8 L i'm pretty confident is less. I'll have to do some further looking, don't have the owners manual sadly.

talked to mechanic about 2 minutes ago

he didn't try anything but instead he is brining in a really smart local auto electric guy to work on during the weekend.

hopefully this is it, this sounds like good news to me
