Sorry everyone... starting tonight, all my photos were taken hostage by the assholes at Photobucket. I've used them for years and now they want $399 to unlocked my photos and for unlimited 3rd party hosting... well FU Photobucket! They could have at least grandfathered all my images up until the point that they changed their terms of service.

I've moved on to imgur...

Here is my first hosted image from my imgur account. I am @zeal86 there as I am here.

The door strap pull works but I'm going to try one more adjustment to get it just right...

I love the look!

Congrats!

Thanks. All it took was 17 years of laying on my back in an inch or two of salty mud every time I had to work on a car (which used to be VERY frequently, prior to buying the FR-S), literally having to shovel the mud out of the garage every few weeks, tracking mud in the house EVERY time we went into the garage for anything... eventually, I got sick enough of it to do something about it. Sooo.. I'm not exactly disciplined either... :)

I've been looking at this but it seems pretty pricey. Was it fairly easy to get used to the new pedal position?

Had the TRD quick shift kit installed at my dealer. A big difference. What I did not post earlier was, when I got to the dealer they had two 860's in Halo White on thel lot. My mind started racing, what if I trad my car in. And have the switch my exhaust and my springs plus my head unit over to an 860? Well that all came to a hault when I realized that they were both automatics! My sales guy was there an said they have only had one 860 stick out of 6 so far.

You can replace the pedal itself with a wider one. Got one (forgot brand) from ft86sf for 35$. Now I can heel-toe

Did a standard oil change, spilled oil on the driveway while using my new ramps :(. Some dummy at the autoparts store gave me the wrong air filter, after 30+ mins wrestling with it I realize it's not the right size and won't sit right. I always forget to pull off that whole front intake to properly fit the filter in flush. Next time will be the time I remember, I hope. I dropped my oil cap into the engine bay :p had to fish it out and clean it off. I also spilled some coolant all over the front bumper, it's one of those days.

Sorry about the oil change drama.

I can't use my RhinoGear ramps with FR-S. Bumper touches the ramp before the tires. I have scratched the bottom of bumper trying to use those ramps. What ramps are you using?

I'm a slender dude so I can get fully under the car with these ramps but only just so.

Problem is the oil pan is so tall I can't loosen the drain plug because my hand won't fit so I had to use this bowl thing and then pull the pan over quickly...., as you can imagine this created a big mess.

I have to use low ramps to get a jack under it. Y'all should be using Fumoto valves to help with the oil plug problems and whatnot
