The plan is to mount a cup holder in front of the fire extinguisher (where the traction control is in this pic) and relocate the traction control and the usb outlet, along with whatever else, to that carbon fiber plate. This is an old pic of the rest of the console: |

The OEM mats do not cover the carpet under the gas pedal and it was beginning to wear. I thought about getting the OEM FR-S all weather mats but they are shaped the same. If interested in those the cheapest I found them was here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Scion-FR-S-...wAAMXQiNdReWR6
I have 3D MAXpider mats in my 2014 Escape and they have worn well. Ordered them for my FR-S from here, no tax, free shipping: https://www.ebay.com/itm/All-Weather...7CMake%3AScion Perfect fit. Much better coverage than the OEM mats. The mats are black. The lighting makes them look slightly gray. Last edited by RickyBobby; 05-02-2019 at 05:28 PM. |

Took receipt of it from the Chassis-Masters alignment and suspension shop. Guy works on porsches but has a certain love for the twins. we talked on the phone
man talk about straight as an arrow. apparently he loaded the car up with my body weight first and then did the alignment. the car is just so simple to corner with.. and best part? 450 bucks! cheap! |

so I know I know it's expensive, but he did a lot of work
Readjustment on the rear lower control arms He balanced the car alignment with my weight in the driver seat, then reset the sway bar endlinks and shock towers to take out preload. then put it on the alignment rack, and did a full nut and bolt check on everything I had done over the last month. Taking extra time to see what max equal camber was in the front ( stock top hats) with whiteline camber bolts. He also checked rear caster (its not fully adjustable but it can be checked for close-ness) So it took him a while and disassembly of the rear control arm to allow us to push alignment back out. If I wanted a two wheel alignment it mighta been 120 but this guy works on everything from Prepared SCCA/NASA cars to full on pro-touring and GTE set ups for privateers. Not only this but he put on 25 ish miles to test the shock setting for balance and deemed where it was fine, if but a little stiff. but fore to aft balance was good. I am running swift springs which are over sprung rear so I had him toe in the rear to compensate and then asked if the rear sway bar should go tighter to compensate but now it really sticks into the corner hard core with very very slight understeer which I am fine with. ( i have less than 1600 miles on this particular car and set up) So yes. I figure it was cheap. I was expecting to pay 600+ for his time, it took him nearly all day. |
