It really does have alot better contrast and it just looks alot meaner.

Do you like how it looks in person? That pic has me scratching my head.

Less is more. ( more so then not)

Just because it is a $500+ coilover, doesn't mean that it's automatically better then a good spring (TRD, RCE) oe strut combo.

Haven't done anything to my car for quite awhile. Today she got her Xmas present - swapped stock exhaust for Borla catback.

Much lighter and seems to be noticeably quicker throttle response. Either it's due to less restriction, or placebo effect and old age!

As for sound, it is noticeable on cold start (a wee loud for my liking) and it is noticeable under hard acceleration (in a GREAT way) and coasting or with cruise on at 3-4K it seems to be no different from stock.

The tips are really large diameter, but less noticeable than my Perrin tips which stuck out an inch or so. The Borla is just about flush with the rear fascia but fills the circle well.

I was going to get their diffuser, but it has been discontinued and nobody seems to have it in stock.

The Perrin tips will be going up for sale. They look nice if anyone has stock exhaust and just wants a little more aggressive look. I need to clean them up a little and take pics.

Finished up the final cosmetic touches on the (very dirty) car.

My dad got me the console plaque for Christmas and it is definitely one of my favorite mods as I can actually see it while driving :w00t:

Got my BRZ fender garnishes back from the paint shop. Had it completely painted blue instead of keeping the silver bar in the middle. The bars aren't a different color it is just light reflecting off the *cough* best color for the twins *cough*

I washed my car today. The road grime was building up. Thank God it got into the high 40's.

Got rid of some heavy fuel rail brackets and got this Velox one. Probably about 4 lbs of on-engine weight in thick, steel removed. And it looks nice and exposes your shiny fuel rail.

Hey guys this has been bothering me since yesterday ..

So I went out for a drive yesterday and when I came back home my dad had his car running to warm it up and then moved his car out of the tempo

And as soon as I entered where his car was I smelled coolant ..Now it got me paranoid thinking maybe it's my car that had that smell , mind you I've been driving it the whole day and never got a smell of coolant once. Also as soon I smelled it I put my fan on and press the button to block the outside air to see if I can smell coolant but nothing ..It's probably not my car that had that smell

When I got out my car the smell was gone



But then I'm like maybe it's cause Im inside a tempo (a small space) that the smell is more distinct ??

** Please note got my FRS was brand new for a little over 3 years now and never had this issue before **

Just needed to get this off my chest

Thanks guys

Just keep an eye on your coolant level
