Thanks a bunch!!!

Service dept. at dealership? I've picked up oil drain plug bolt, oil drain plug gasket, cat back gasket, license plate plastic nuts, etc. Overpriced, but convenience of picking up same day.

Hmm thanks for the feedback! I think I can get the exhaust gaskets from ft86speedfactory for a cheaper price than the ones from the dealership. My question is still whether or not if the bolts & nuts, required for our exhaust system, is sold as a whole from a third party vendor. Again, I appreciate the feedback nonetheless! =)

Threw an electric motor in my FR-S!

...sort of. Had to take down the handle bars to fit. Runs on 2 12v batteries and has speeds of 12mph. Fun new toy for the kids! Now if I can just find some destructible cones to mix in with my dots, we've got ourselves an autoX. Yup, my 6 and 11 are going autoX!!

And who says an FR-S trunk has no room haha. Actually had a full OEM exhaust in their too that El Presidente is letting me borrow.

Help!

CEL with Traction Control on at the same time. Any information on what could be the issue. Is it safe to drive it to the dealership or should I get it towed? Im flashing back to stock ATM.

Do you have an OFT? I got a CEL with traction control on when I turned off my car while running the realtime data display. I just cleared the code and it never came back

Yeah, I do. I pulled over and flashed back to stock thinking I was gonna take in to dealership. After the re-flash, both lights turned off. I should have just tested turning the car off then back on before I flashed back. It could have been something minor, but I didn't want to risk it being "bricked" with the flashed tune. I don't know what it could have been. I let the car warm up until the cold start idle dropped, I had over a 1/4 tank of gas left, I checked the gas cap and it was fitted properly and clicked all the way through.

All I know is I got off work. I let the car warm up cause its been cold lately. I drove it slow a 1/4 and during which I was stuck at a red light for a good 1 minute plus. I drove another 1/4 mile and the light turned yellow so I stepped on it and flew through the light. I look down and both lights are on. I'm in shock, just stunned. I test out the car, it feels sluggish. It felt like it was just stuck and couldn't pick up rpm's past 3,000. I'm pressing buttons and nothing is making the TC light to go off. The only thing I been doing differently the last few days is using the seat warmers.

I have service dept. appt. tomorrow at 4. They are going to inspect for issues just to be safe.

I was getting a bunch of noise from the clutch (I think) then she died. I'll update you guys tomorrow. No CEL.

Know a good East Bay place that sells utility and landscaping trailers? Looks like I'll be hauling trash cans twice a week.
