Does the Push Button Start push out just like the USB does when removing that small tray?

Per SDS: the FR-S kit is $667.15 + shipping. Installation at Beaver Street Collision & Restoration for a Compact Sedan / Hatchback = 14 hours and $1025.00 (You saved a great deal doing it yourself!) Quote:
- a hatchback is more versatile - AWD = lower MPG (now frequently offered with a continuously-variable AT to compensate) - BRZ / FR-S is cooler. Low center of gravity, F/R balance, LSD, RWD. However, I see gripes about the paint, torque-dip, and that it's loud. Mods to address these issues of course adds to the total cost of ownership. What other modern FWD sporty cars? - Ford Focus ST (reliability?) - Mazda3 5-door SKYACTIV - Mazda3speed 1st or 2nd gen (torque steer) - Mini Cooper (reliability?) - VW GTI (corporate ethics, reliability?) - Something else in the same price range? Thanks! |

I haven't seen anything suggesting the ST is particularly unreliable, though like so many modern cars it's basically a computer with no user-serviceable parts.

I just completed fully deadening my frs--
Roughly -- 60-70 sq ft of CLD tiles, 70 sq ft of CCF 100 sq ft of MLV (2-3 layers over the rear wheel wells) Cost me about 250$ in mat'l. Maybe closer to 300 with misc. supplies. For what its worth: My build log was posted on a different forum http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/...si-mag-v4.html

For the styrofoam block, I see it just sitting loose and not stuck to the panel on my car.
Is it meant to be sitting loose? I haven't popped off the full panel, as mainly I just noticed the panel loose and a white retainer clip missing. |

It should be glued onto the plastic panel. If it's loose, you should reattach it with some 3M trim adhesive. When you get the whole plastic panel removed, it'll be obvious where it used to attach.

Also I have one of those plastic retainer clip missing. Assuming it has dropped further into the panel when last owner did some work, is there any chance of it going elsewhere into some dark hole? If it is just sitting at the bottom with nowhere to go then pulling the panel off sounds tempting. As I would like to refrain from pulling the full panel out and the styrofoam doesn't bother me that much. Last edited by Ratez; 09-01-2016 at 04:52 AM. |

The missing clip, if someone's taken it apart before - you never know, there could be more than one missing. Additionally, they are often stuck in the body panel. So you may actually find the clips stuck in the metal where they popped out of the plastic last time it was removed. Again, missing clips means rattles - I'd make sure they're all there and installed correctly. Worst case scenario, you can get more from Subaru. |

It can be pulled away to gain entry to the interior of the car low down and you may find the clip. If you have the interior panel off you can peer down to the back of the car and see daylight in from the wheel arch! Sealing reduces noise entry but leave a small drain hole at the lowest point.

Thanks for the help. I have stuck the styrofoam back on and replaced the missing clip.
On the other hand found out the metal part holding the rear seat down with the visible bolt snapped. Going to order the part, other than the metal bit is there anything to hold the rear seat? I see a latch at the very back but don't seem to be able to slide back on. |
