Still kinda can't believe I did it... Traded my first new car, a Subaru STi, in on a new 2016 TEP in Nautical Blue. Boy, we aren't driving a sports car anymore! :decision: Kept my 1999 Miata as the lone sports car, as I was driving it far more anyway. Now I have a boatload more space, can go off-road, and won't have to worry about getting out of my neighborhood when we get a big snowstorm. Looking forward to adventures of a different kind now.

Replaced the plastic oil filter housing cap with a metal one

Genuine Toyota 15620-31060 Oil Filter Cap Assembly
And that definitely fits correctly? I don't see that part number as being compatible, though those kinds of things aren't always labeled correctly in compatibility charts

Mine is still sitting on the shelf but others have done it, the only thing you need to go is swap out the element support tube (small pipe with holes in it -no idea what it is really called) as they are not the same length IIRC

Sorry I don't have 1st hand info on this

I miss my 99 Miata with a MP62 blower it really scooted and was a total hoot to drive....like an adult go kart. Keeping it just wasn't in the cards and once I got married we didn't have storage for 3 cars and it was getting driven less and less. When my mid life crisis comes I can see a car of similar traits returning.....or a mini van.....:happy:
 
Watching it snow on my rig. Hopefully this bodes well for a good winter recreation season.
