Installed the Radium kajigger.



Curious to see what effect it'll have.

But before that I went into the interior and swapped out the traction control buttons and the A/C console silver trim for black ones.

Here's what it looked like before.



And here's after. MUCH better



Pics look great! Love the tan seats!

@StraightOuttaCanadaEh


Where did you get your silver climate control knobs' trim? The only ones I could find are these: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/anod...l#.WuzQiIgvyUk $84.95 for the set is a bit much.

Thanks,
Ricky

I checked eBay and the only ones I could find, 2 large, 1 small ring, were these:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/A-C-Control...p=mtr#shpCntId Too pricey.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/MCE-Air-Con...FY6F0D&vxp=mtr Since these have a notch in them and StraightOuttaCanadaEh's pic looks like his are also notched I'd guess that these are his.

I also found this guy in Canada who custom makes them: http://acarguysgarage.com/product/fr...control-rings/

That's what I paid. Much better than some of the more prominent names prices. 50$for 3 pieces really isn't bad

got tired of the dim light in the trunk so i put in a LED strip but modified the light cover so it can still be put on and have the LED wire go through it unlike most who just leave it off and un protected.

Did a little clutch pedal tuning with the MTEC clutch spring and some adjustment to get it flush with the brake pedal.

Also, added the Perrin trunk handle.

Two quick, inexpensive mods that make a huge difference! Clutch feels sooo much better now, and I can close my trunk without touching the paint/wing!

A trunk handle ....... well now, don't that beat all ........

I thought that was what the wing was for ......

Is your car THAT dirty ...... ??

@Tcoat ....... now, that's what you need, so as you don't have to touch the outside of that filthy, contaminated car of yours when closing the trunk .....

Aipex8 ...... pay me no never mind ....... I had to eliminate some of ma meds ...... because of an up coming "procedure" next week .....

PS ...... I might suggest a BRZ trunk lid liner ..... to soften up the trunk....

On the contrary, I try to keep my car clean. I'm sick of seeing greasy little fingerprints on my matte black wing. The trunk liner does look nice.

Installed Toyota 86 aluminum door sills and the TRD door stabilizers. Very happy with the results

Ya, but, how do you keep your car clean, living in Vancouver, WA, where it rains twice a day ..??

OK, trunk handles, but how do you OPEN the trunk ...... when the handle(s) are on the inside ........

Yep, it's a slow day up here ......

I wash it twice a day!

I have keyless entry, so the little button between the license plate lights is how I open it.
