Damn - there's an FR-S on every street in SDO, and boy, they are craaazy drivers!

I miss San Diego.

Head to Old Town and hit Old Town Mexican Cafe and let me know what you think of the place

Had breakfast on the terrace at the del Coronado, watching the BUDS work it all out on the beach = not for me. Headed for fish tacos happy hour across the street tonight. This is a pic of the Vietnam memorial from this morning.

Getting busy in Ensenada at Carnaval. Sailing up to Marina del Rey next month. It's all good!

Revisited my childhood home at Bluff Cove, Palo Verdes Estates, CA. It never looked this good when we lived there in the 50's, but the stonework my dad set survives.

Hey fellow MNers. I just got done cutting some mesh grille specifically for the BRZ. I only have enough to make 4 of them, I will be using one and the other three will be given to whoever wants it(PM me for info). It will cover the entire under piece to protect the radiator, an aftermarket intercooler, or oil cooler. The material I used is very strong and durable, I will post up some pictures whenever I have the time to install it on my car. It should look very good.

Here is where it will mount up to


And here is the extra three I have

I think I'll pass but I can't wait to see how it turns out.

So tempted to order the Eibach R2. Anyone interested in guinea testing them with me?

[LeeMaster]

I would, but I am already satisfied with the stock suspension.....for now

I still might go with a set of coilovers, but I need to see how other upgrades feel first.

Currently on the way:

-Perrin front/rear sway bars
-Cusco Front/Rear strut tower braces (w/master cyclinder brace)
-ScanGuage (cheap easy solution for monitoring oil temp and other OEM sensors)

I won't be installing anything until spring weather sets in.

My plan is to do coilovers w/ camber plates and tires. Sway bars may not be needed as they reduce wheel independence.

Yeah there are always trade offs. The sway bars are so I can try to keep the overall dynamics of the car with higher grip tires. We'll see if it works.

Hi guys. Hope everyone's well. I installed a nice little upgrade in my FR-S that I can recommend: the Tap Turn module. Works great! Many other cars come with this feature -- where you get three or four blinks of the turn signal just with one quick tap of the lever. Its amazing how you get addicted to that feature, and when making lane changes I miss it on the '86. So it's nice to have it back. The Tap Turn is simply a plug-n-play module to swap in for your stock turn signal module. See this thread for my quick review.

(No affiliation or connection with the product, other than being a satisfied customer.)

Cheers! Stay warm, and out of the ditches!

My project this weekend.

I must say I'm very happy with the Scangauge. It gives me the additional data I want without bulky gauge pods.

Looking good Neutron. I'm trying to install the underpanels but I'm having a hard time breaking off those plastic clips (near the doors). I've already scratched off plenty of the antirust spray stuff near the clips and will need to add some touch up paint.
