WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1438 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My black Friday splurge arrived today and is now on the car.

Corsa catback.

It sounds fantastic, better than in videos I've seen. Noise is there when you want it, and quiets right now to near stock when you are cruising not into the pedal.

Do you have aftermarket headers? If so what kind?

I'm on a otherwise stock setup.
But I am looking at the FT86SF catted header. There is a sound clip on YouTube of that setup.

Not really pic worthy, but I installed the steering rack limiters from the verus brake ducting kit over the weekend. Three spacers takes away the last half turn lock to lock.

I'm not rubbing anymore now, which is very nice.

While doing that, I found about five pounds of rocks from Streets of Willow Springs in the undertrays. Coincidentally, my high RPM rattles have all disappeared!

I installed a magic trunk button. Now I can turn the trunk light off or on manually when the trunk is open.
This is so when the trunk doesn't fully close, it doesn't completely drain the battery overnight., so I will keep it in the off
position until I actually want it on now.
Switch that fits exactly in the preexisting hole on that latch mechanism. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Do you have closure issues often?

Nice Install. Have you had a problem with leaving your trunk open?
you could have just installed a led bulb and it should easily burn all night without draining the battery.

Yep. I've drained the battery 3 times dead now. I even removed the black trunk bumper things to make it easier to
close and still didn't shut it fully. This is a 100% fix for no more dead batteries from that light being left on.

Thank you. It's only visibly distinct from stock by those red and blue wires that I didn't fully tuck in. Doing that right now.
I also installed a LED strip light in there that is crazy bright so that might be why it fully drained the battery overnight.

Just get a big wing. Solve that closure problem quick

It was either install the $4 switch or get a full Rocketbunny kit with that massive wing or it would have looked out of place with just the wing.

I had the rocket bunny kit with wing, wider wheels and tires, etc. all in the cart online ready to buy to fix this trunk light problem but then I just bought the switch instead.
