If you have access to CNC, might be worth it... but keep in mind that when you do shave off the spacer, you do need to shave off few mm of bolts. Bolts that come out of firewall are bout 1”, that’s why all the pedal spacers are 1” thick. It’s a bit awkward angle you gotta be to grind it off, but I did it without an issue.

That would've made the drive even more fun.

But really, 459.2 miles from 11.637 gallons.....39.46 mpg.

Interesting for me, the station I found to fill up only had 92 as their highest octane. Never encountered a station with a 92 before.

No real witchcraft involved, just the benefit of having the automatic spinning everything at lower rpms at the same speeds....even then, I was not expecting to be knocking on 40mpg's door in this car. That's the same personal best I got from my old 03 Corolla.

Oh, and I did the posted speed limit pretty much the whole time (55-70 depending on state), no sandbagging. Just sat in the right lane and let everybody else go by. Even encountered an older twin in Hot Lava somewhere in North/South Carolina.

Well, that's good mileage for sure …

I thought maybe you had filled up in Denver and coasted to Wichita ..

When I first bought mine I got 40mpg on the highway. Then I tuned it and that went to shit

Got the FR-S back, cause of leak was a creased crush washer. Dealer replaced the washer and topped off the oil. Second oil change since Saturday, does this count as a flush?

I figure a "creased" crush washer, was one that had been used before and tightened down too tight on its second use …

Yep, you got "flushed' fer sure.

Washed, clay bar and waxed. Worth it despite the potential of heat stroke.


BTW Old timers are right, Liquid Glass is pretty good.


FYI Coke Cola doesn't remove synthetic oil stains from pavers. Pretty much nothing from Home Depot does either.

From the Farmers Almanac ..

"Liquid dish soap or laundry detergent will remove most oil stains on pavers. Directly apply the soap to the stain and allow to sit for 20-30 minutes. Then scrub with a nylon bristle brush and rinse with hot water. Repeat this step as needed".
