Yeah, sounds like the header is coming into contact with the skid plate or something.

So I did get to go under the car earlier and found the culprit. It is the washer of one of the o2 sensor, nearest to the overpipe. I did removed it because somehow the sensor is screw on tight but the washer part is still little loose and found out the sensor screw part is a little stripped, but it does lock and it is tight. Right now i did tighten it more but not much as I'm afraid to strip or break anything, it is now better though.

My question to aftermarket header owners is does a new set comes when you buy one or you have to reuse your stock ones?

It should be like stock.

They snap the rear plate after the transponder doesn't trigger.

Does anyone local have an OpenFlash Tablet we can plug into my car, which I won't have until Saturday? I'd like to try before I buy

I am about 15 minutes North of Monterey.

Washed and waxed my BRZ for the first time in about a month and a half this morning.

Anyone who saw it at 8/6 probably remembers how filthy it was; example:



and:



but basically all over the car.

Did probably an 85%-ish job on it and missed a couple small spots, but otherwise everything looks super clean. Even gave the wheels a fairly thorough wash for the first time since buying the car. Cleared off most of the heavy brembo brake dust! lol.

Anyway, pics here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BX_G9bOn...spike_eightsix

Went to look under the FR-S earlier just to make sure there are no leaks or anything, and this came within inches of my face.



Yup, a black widow spider.

No kidding, I noticed a cobweb between my dash and steering column, killed two spiders chilling on the roof a few days ago, and watched one build a web in my drivers side mirror on my way to work last week. That's all within the last two weeks.

There's a spider that I can't see or catch that's building a large web on the driver side mirror of the Yaris.

So far, the FR-S has had this black widow, and a couple jumping spiders hunting around on the roof and trunk.
