Just in case anyone still has the problem I wrote this up. Hope it fixes the issue for leaky taillights.

Another vote for these guys. They did an excellent job on my Golf and my truck. Plan on bringing the FR-S to them as well.

Also, I have an Airaid for sale. Took it off my car simply because I didn't like how it looked. Seems silly, I know, but too flashy for me. Never had any issues with it, only on the car a few hundred miles (maybe 1000?). Has two lids and gaskets (black and stainless). One of the gaskets is slightly malformed (manufacturing defect) so they sent me another. It could be cut to fit properly so you could have 2 lids with gaskets. Can deliver anywhere on the Northshore. It's in basically brand new condition. $150 takes it. If it doesn't sell locally soon to eBay it goes. Losing my job in 3 weeks, so time to unload extra bits in an effort to keep the car.

Anyone heading to Nola motorsports tomorrow with their FRS for auto cross other than me? I never been, looking forward to it!! If you see the gray FRS (de-emblemed), say hello!

I'll be there in a red FRS with gold spray painted WRX wheels.

For anyone not autocrossing there's a meet at Lafreneire park tommorow.

I think I might swing out there

[Koffy]

The link didn't come up with any info...what time is that meet up and is it FRS only?

[NickD]

All kinds of cars
At lafreneire park 12-til

I thought everyone was meeting at the lakefront for the cherry berry meet?

[NickD]

Yeah I posted that before I saw they were moving the meet

Autocross was great. It was awesome seeing so many people (especially 86ers!) participating. I'd never seen an Evora in motion before either. Is anybody else sunburned besides me?

I was fortunate enough to remembe to put on suntan lotion. More windburnt and chapped lips. Very long day, I dont think anyone was ready for 78 people.

When I got home I was shocked at how sunburned I was. What a blast though, I have never auto crossed before, so turning my FRS around a few times on the course was awesome! I didn't know anything about autocross before Sunday, now I can't stop thinking about how I could have done better and cut turns a bit tighter...this may be a very expensive hobby.

A Stock FRS will teach you more about car control than you can imagine. It will be a while before your abilities catch up with the car. I would not spend any money on it for a long time if I were just starting out. If you must do something to it, A bigger front sway bar and better tires and you will be where I'm at. I left plenty of time out there.
