WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 407 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

stueck9356 · 02-23-2014, 09:00 PM

Pulled my transmission out if the car because I stripped one of the bolts for the mtec springs. Now that it's out though.. Debating on getting a lightweight flywheel or short shifter... Or something else Idk.

Anyone have any thoughts on lightweight flywheel for a DD?

Nice. Did you see my DIY? Did you install the Power Magic Pro too?

Ordered personalized plates and Tom's Tail-lights for it.

stueck9356 · 02-23-2014, 10:27 PM

Going to do that tomorrow. Just pulled it today. Worst case scenario is a new rear transmission housing, about $400 plus installing it to the trans, but should be able to chase the threads.

Day pic, washed it. Lastnight did the cleaner towhook DIY install.

Well, if the threads won't clean up ..... maybe you can just drill it out and re-tap the hole with a larger size ....

Not sorting you out, Ego, but if the trend in installing Tom's tail lights continue ..... three years from now, people are going to ask me (with OEM tail lights) ..... where did you get them "custom" tail lights .....

Now you're making me reconsider...

edit: Nevermind, I'm not reconsidering anymore.

I would choose the 235's as I like a little stretch, will easily accommodate the 1.5 inch drop should you desire and will be cheaper on the pocketbook.

Do you have any opinions when it comes to type of tire? I am looking at Yokohama S Drive tires. and it would be the 235/ 40 tire. Any thoughts?

My first new part shipped

just the drop in filter, but I've never fiddled with cars before and wanted something easy to start with.
