WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1302 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

This project has been in the works for quite awhile. I wanted to customize my dash. I love stars. And since , the subaru logo is the pleiades star cluster, I had a local artist, that specializes in space art, paint my dash parts. I then had the parts clearcoated with multiple coats today.

Are they perfect, no there is some "orange peel" you can see in the photo. But, I have to wait for the parts to dry for at least 24 hours before I wet sand and buff them. I am really really happy!!! I was so excited, I couldnt wait to install them!

Also got a rough measurements to make some oil cooler spacers since I have a DIY kit and it sits too low blocking the bottom 3-4 rows. Will get some pics next weekend after my buddy 3D prints them for me.

Get a catted (or dual resonated) front pipe and it'll be perfect. Just don't try and get a catless header too or your ears will bleed. I wanted the extra power but that with my Berk catted front pipe is my favorite combo even over my Miltek and Tomei set-up now.

How was the condition of the coolant? And how many miles?

As much as I would like to try those things, I really don't like the idea of getting reffed. Also, don't get me wrong; I'm perfectly content with it being quiet as far as catbacks go.

When the time comes for extra power, I'll JRSC it. For now, I can go another year without another mod.

Oooooo buddy. Got the SpeedFactory V1 Resonated Catback installed. Holy shit. Some people say it's too quiet. uhhh. no. Off idle its very noticeable. The tone is amazing. Deep and smooth, not raspy.

Yea, at the top, over 5K, it starts to level off, and the engine drowns it out. But since I don't want to draw attention to myself...

Too bad I'm at work all day so I can't go hoon around.

I guess I think the tips are a little too large, but oh well.

After 10 minutes I'm in love.

Yeah, really like it. Works well with the gold shifter trim and knob. Where did you get that done?

I painted them my self. I used adhesion promoter, primer, paint, and a few coats of clear.

Painting is equal parts prep-work, patience, preciseness, and planning.

Got my P3 guage today. Can't wait to install tonight.

Whiskerz · 02-02-2018, 07:05 PM

I've had the car two weeks and installed a K&N filter today and got my OFT and flash Stage 1. Can't say I really notice much if any difference, but I will be getting headers in the future.
