OUCH! Sorry to hear about your lip, varis is $$$$ It was my first time taking my car to socal when I went to 86Fest, I had never scraped my lip once yet. I get off my exit heading to K-Town and I scraped my lip so damn hard crossing an intersection that one of the bolts broke off underneath. I never seen a deep ass gutter that runs across an intersection before and the asshole camry riding my ass didn't help. Never again. Don't know how y'all do it down there lol!

That sucks but thats part of daily driving in southern California for the majority of us, you just gotta take the dips slowly and if you have to angle them. Luckily I've only scraped on some deep gutters which is a hell of a lot better then destroying my lip with one bad gutter.

Recently had time to dust off the camera and update some shots on the current stage of the build. Fixed a lot of wear and tare items that needed replacement, and upgraded a lot of components for simplicity and function.
Next upgrades include a Garrett G-Series Turbo upgrade and V-band conversion!

Are you affected by the valve spring recall? If so, how are you handling it with the dealer (return to stock etc)?

I fully built out my motor, I run supertech valve springs and retainers, no problems as of yet. I do have another stock fr-s with a stock FA that I plan on sending to the dealership for the recall.

Saw that you have a block built by outfront, I'm thinking of going down that route. Wanted to ask the following: - How is the block doing now? - Any issues? - Are you only tracking the car or do you daily it? - Any issues over heating with closed deck? Thanks! |

Don't part it out! Joking of course; your car, your decision. It is a beautiful car as it sits though.
