Gonna need more than that, closet to an inch

Edit. 25mm up front probably 20mm rear. But that's with -2 degrees camber

IMHO Opti-coat is a well worth investment.

So I've read. Is your FRS , finished with opti-coat?
I found it for 90 bucks on amazon in a syringe. I'll have to do more research on the application process.

My car was shy of a month old when I got Opticoat Pro applied to my car by a local detail shop. It's a one man shop, the owner does all the work himself. I only had a small swirl on the bottom of my hood so there wasn't much paint correction to do. Owner charged me $400 for the Opticoat pro. He said it didn't take long to do since paint correction did not have to be done other than that small swirl.

It's the prepping of the car that takes long to do before actually applying Opticoat Pro.

Detail shop owner used this as well for prepping car.

Cool TRD Carbon Fiber Battery Bar

Installed the TRD Battery Bar.
This will only fit a smaller battery.
Specifically the 51R Battery Group.
Now I the engine compartment has matching Carbon Fiber Bars
(Battery and Strut bars)

I like how the Optima yellow top matches the other yellow covers/caps.

Thank you for that information!


I installed a Mtec clutch pedal spring this evening. The pedal feels more natural now and not artificially light.

I commuted 120 miles 5 days a week. 50 weeks a year.....and then I would drive for pleasure or jump on my motorcycle and ride with friends. I just love to drive. I'm older now (78 in a couple of months) so I've slowed to about 18k a year between the car and the bike.
