I recall Jackson racing had an integrated radiator and engine oil cooler, would that help?

It would technically but it's about $700. And I already have a Koyo radiator and Mishmoto oil cooler. Wouldn't be financially practical to switch now

Did the clutch adjustment "mod" today. Surprised how much easier it is to shift smoothly now. Big improvement but was a PITA to find the right pedal level. Too low and the clutch feels like a toy or PC periperhal, too high, and well, its stock. My neck muscles feel ****ed but worth it!

Maybe.....but I still have premium gas, insurance, registration, and maintenance to do every year, which is about $1500 minimum ( could be more, the more I drive)

Well, buying a Porsche certainly won't improve that

Exactly my point, but then I get the YOLO perspective, and everything changes! I saw a nice white GT3 yesturday....rolling southbound 101 at Pismo Beach

Purchased a Gentex 1124 auto-dim, Homelink, Compass mirror from eBay. Installed by modifying the Subaru H501SAJ010 harness to the harness that came with the mirror making it plug and play to mirror power plug in the headliner.

Buffed out the head and tail lights then sprayed them with Meguiar's headlight coating. They weren't hazed yet but I did it to be proactive as worked out so well on the tC. Then used DUB to eat away at all the brake dust. Next week another coat of Liquid Glass then Meguiar's Fast Finish (got to look good for the Labor Day weekend).

I wish we had a O'Reilly's in downstate NY/LI I read they sell Superior Tire Shine F95 is the wettest longest lasting tire dressing on the market (I've tried them all with varying success -either long lasting but not shiny enough or vice versa).

P.S. I'm not a Meguair's fanboy they just have a few good products worth mentioning.

P.P.S it'd be cool to participate in a FR-S/BRZ/86 caravan in the NY/NJ/CT area.

Damn! Is there a UV clearcoat on the headlight covers? I used a non-abrasive polish (Turtle Wax Ice) on mine and the one that gets the most direct sun is deteriorating. Maybe I rubbed too enthusiastically to get the gloss but I thought not.

Polycarbonate doesn't like UV. If you're getting deterioration, buff it out and apply some kind of UV protectant to it. I looked into this a little bit ago. There doesn't seem to be any product on the market that will permanently protect them so you'll have to regularly apply it like sealant or wax
