WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1520 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Took a day and gave the car a cosmetic one over.

Decontaminated, a polish then followed up with a ceramic coating.

Turned out great, the finish should improve over the next 48 hours as it cures.

I picked mine up from the smash repairers. Good as new, and all the bugs on the front gone. New bumper, new radiator, resprayed bonnet. Most all the stone chips are now gone, except for the one on the boot.

Only downside is they sprayed some seriously smelly stuff inside when detailing it. it reeks!

Got my front RR street bbk installed. This kit uses wilwood calipers and i used centric blank 2004 sti rotors. Went yellow rather then the typical red and I think yellow pairs well with a silver car. The pedal feel is much better than stock. Can't wait to get these on the track or autocross to test the differences.

Don't mind my dirty wheels the car needs a wash badly

If i didnt snag a set of used AP racing calipers. these are the guys I woulda went with.l... I probably woulda gone like grabber blue or something against my white

but yellow and silver has its own sway
I dig it

Not bad for a beginner. When you get some more experience though you will get something more like this masterpiece:

I hate seeing Lovebugs squished into my paint but I also love it because it's just one more that is dead.

Painted my key a second time cause the paint peeled off from the first round of pimpage. Used an Initial D decal cause I ran out of the little 86 tabs

Car was beautiful during my "shakedown" run 900km from toronto to virginia lol, im quite excited to say the least

Changed out the diff fluid today. DIY on here was an awesome reference. Used a pump on a couple of OEM Subaru gear oil bottles, a surprisingly easy job when you have access to a lift.

Added metal plate to my floor mat where my heels dug a hole right thru it. Let's see how long this lasts.

Overdrive · 09-30-2019, 10:17 PM

Do those bumps on that pad mess with your foot placement, @MJones_RB?

Dang, MJones_RB, do you drive with mountain climbing spikes strapped onto your boots -

If that plate don't work, Bubba suggests this:
