I was leaning towards Toms for a long time, then I started seeing newer 86’s with the new tails and was sold. The only problem is they are crazy expensive so I held off for a while looking for a used set, but Santa told me I was good this year haha!

Some used +17 tails went for $250 in our classifieds. But yeah they can be expensive. Tom’s and these are my options when I go for tail lights. Think they go for the same price but both look great

Got 3D Maxpider floor mats. I like them quite a bit

That 3D thingy pops right off. It leaves a very tiny hole, or 2 can't remember exactly but, you can't see it/them.

Finally got them. Do not know why I did wait so long!

Honestly the Grimmspeed ones are wildly over priced. I have no name struts that work just fine (and are probably the same unit minus the sticker). Mine cost like 25% what Grimmspeeds cost. Maybe I'm wrong and they use a better quality strut but... *shrug*

I got the 86Speed struts. They were on sale for Black Friday. My old ones weren’t holding up well so I got new ones when they went on sale.

Today swapped out the trans and diff fluids with new Redline fluids, tomorrow will replace front pads and rotors. Very satisfying.

I continue to ponder my throwout bearing. On cold mornings it squeals until I touch the clutch, then the sound goes away. The colder it is, the more pumps of the clutch it takes it make it shut up. I'm told it may be a lubrication issue, and as the bearing warms up it properly lubricates and that is why I only hear it during the winter. I may have had the issue last winter, but it was never this loud.

Based on other opinions it sounds like a somewhat common and not entirely dire situation. Some people say it could go in 100 miles, while others suggest that it will last forever so long as you are okay with noisy startups. As far as I can tell the clutch is in overall great shape.

I called a local shop and they said around $1200 for parts, labor, and resurfacing the flywheel.

I'm down to driving around 4K miles a year with very little clutch usage, so I'm wondering if I can keep it alive until Gen 2 hits the market.

Oh, also the Firestone Firehawk 500 tires are really, really good. I think better than the MPSS at about half the cost, especially in the cold. A little soft on initial turn-in, but still great. Got them about a month ago. No regrets.

Why does the flywheel need resurfaced? I don't feel like a throw out bearing replacement is a 1200$job. You just pull the transmission off. It's not THAT big of a job
