Just got my car back today and she was covered in dirty and dust.

Gave her a good wash and now we are back together

Never again! I'm sorry baby. They won't keep us apart now.

At least you got your car back. Let me know when you want my tires! They're still sitting on the deck waiting for you.

Too bad you missed the VCMC event this weekend. The FR-S is OMG GTFO fast at Autocross. My car is currently capable of matching almost all the Miata's in STS class in its current form. Amazing to see this on a stock car. (Keep in mind, Richard was driving though)

Glad to see you got it back though.

Was this the automatic impound that came in recently? Is it for anything 30+ km/h over?

Ouch that ticket is terrible!!
I was caught going about 160km or so on a 70km stretch of road at 2 in the morning. I explained to the officer my leather gear shift was frozen and pulling my transmission out of gear (or worse, into a lower cog gear (2nd,4th) and I was speeding up and slowing down between lights to unthaw it before I got to the highway.

He let me go with a warning..told me to use the money I saved that night on a nice dinner for my gf (I was driving home from her place)

I was quite lucky then... I think I am about 50:50 for being let go on tickets vs getting them now. so like.. 7:7 ish

^ Not yet.

I'm still waiting on a bunch of parts. Not too sure why the lengthly hold up is for on some of these but I'm still waiting on my Perrin lightweight pulley, 5axis spoiler, Airaid intake (Getting shipped soon) and SRT headerback exhaust.

I'm not going to do anything with my headlights until the Pulley comes as I want to do it all at once when the bumper is off and I have all that room.

Should be soon tho! I will update this thread once I get all my parts.

Alright small update time

Installed my Airaid Intake a couple days ago. 1st off just want to say dealing with AJUSA and Airaid have been a pleasure and I look forward to any future transactions with them as they have been top notch with service and the part itself.

My 5Axis spoiler also finally came in after 2+ months of wait time and not communication from ToyotaPartsOutlet (Blake). While I can bitch about the service and the experience all thread long, I won't. It was bad there isn't much left to say about that and I won't be a customer of either places again but the product itself was very nice. Fitment is great, instructions are easy to follow and part includes everything you would need.

My SRT exhaust is coming in on Friday (according to UPS) and I have no clue when my Perrin Pulley is suppose to be here but I was assured it shouldn't take very long. I plan to dyno the car before throwing on the SRT headerback exhaust so expect numberspretty soon. I really want this Perrin Pulley to come soon as I plan to throw it on once I have my bumper off for the HID Retrofit, clear corners as well as headlight housing blackout.

Currently I have not redded out the tails again and for the better as after this wonderful summer we have had it rained quite a bit yesterday and I noticed I got another leaking set of taillights...

Are you eff-ing serious???

Hopefully it gets resolved sooner rather than later; demand compensation for your time wasted if this was through Open Road Scion.

I know Opeanroad is a big waste of time.

This will be my last time there as soon as the GM gets back to me then I'm taking ym car somewhere else for servicing and issues. Eric I'm looking your way.

Was about to do a update and post up pictures but its just more bad news for me

Yesterday found a gaint dent on my car... driver side fender... looks like someone tall was leaning really hard looking at the car and pushed the panel in. No note was left just a dent the size of my fist....

Getting her fixed up today hopefully and will have pics and update done sometime after my baby is okay again.

Quick update tho I now have my SRT headerback and Perrin Pulley installed. Car feels and sounds great!

Nice Car! Also seems like you've had a string of bad luck! Can't wait to see pics! Especially the TRS HID mod, i've been thinking about that as well, but i really don't have a clue when it comes to headlight mods etc.

Seems to be getting worse in bc for "accidents" like that. I'm just glad my mr2 doesn't have any on it that would really piss me off if that happened. I would mean a new paint job. I am actually hoping that someone will damage my car for that reason lol. But I'm sorry it happened to your new car. I think I am going to guard mine like a hawk. Leave my girlfriend in the car to act as a deterrent from that,
