Yea it's so fun and addicting once you can control it. I feel so bad for my tires though lol. I also hate it when somehow my Trac and VSC comes back on, when i thought i turned it off already.

Highly recommend ditching the FR-S logo. I was on the fence about it, decided to go through with it since I'm re-badging Toyota soon. I did it and really like the look of it, much cleaner. Especially clean when you close the trunk, just feels right without it.

Per another member's post, I was reminded to install my ScanGauge back! Had it in my Si, been sitting on my desk for a good month or so now, decided to be slightly productive.

It did require me removing the rubber lining part at the bottom, which is just held on by some sticky double-sided tape (easy to remove cleanly). After that, I just plugged the ScanGauge up using the rear RJ45 port and routed the wire out the left (as shown), didn't want to drill any holes yet. I was able to tuck the wire up under the knee panel area, so it's not in the way at all.

Now to see what I can pull up with XGauge codes!

Gotta love the adjustable LCD color (red:3; green:1; blue:0; for orange). Featuring the new shift knob (WC Lathe Werks) and the BeSpoke radio!


Close up (idle for a good few minutes):


Now.. to wire the V1 back. I think I may just route it through the glovebox up the A pillar and to the left side of my windshield. Not like I use the visors and I don't need access to a 12V adapter in there. Maybe tomorrow!
