I'm a rebel.

got a new tool bag for my low voltage tools at work today. it's got to be big enough to fit about 10,000 pennies.

I see your venison and raise your elk burgers!

So I ordered these knowing they are plug and play for FRSs but I want to make them plug and play for my 86.



So I ordered male/female headlight plugs (I think the part numbers are 90980-10897 90980-10896 for the male and the female plugs, respectively) and I plan on making my own plug and play harnesses for this nonsense. I just don't want to tap the OEM wires. I did this on the tails and ended up going back to delete the stupid taps after they failed and replacing them with a better lever connector system.

I like those, hadn't seen them before. Any details? Can't make out the name in the pic.

They're made by Intec and I have no idea why they say "combattante" on the sides (sorry I haven't removed the protective plastic on them).

They're on the FTSpeed site which I know people have mixed feelings about but I've never had issues with them.

They're 150 for the gloss black plastic and 300 for the CF version. I ain't fancy with my BaysonR lip kit so... lol

Could be, the MPSS tires are super slick once they wear down a bit.

I was just bored and wanted to burn some gas, and 84 has an 80mph speed limit out there, and I stopped at the Wal-Mart there for dog chews. No sales tax.

Pot is illegal in Idaho. The pot stores are right there as soon as you cross into Oregon. The pot stores on the Idaho border do 400% more business than all others in Oregon. Imagine that.

Drove my 86 home, didnt crash.
Did a little bit of admiring and tested a few things that I was curious about:
-The 2020 head unit is OK so far. Havent paired any bluetooth yet or tried apple carplay but that'll come. Perfectly adequate right now, might have had more bass in my iM with the pioneer head unit.
-That engine bay is nice looking in the flesh.
-Rear facing baby seat fits without issue (well ours does, a Babyjogger Citygo travel system) I can even fit in the front seat, even though its cramped and a bit upright, but i could do it. it also helps that im 5'-7" so not particularly tall. This car was made for my size lol.
Family hauler? Yes this car is perfectly capable of being one for shorter folks :D

Its a bit gloomy in the coming days so i cant take any good outdoor pics yet. Pavement Grey is really nice when its shiny (The car was a little dirty on the Saturday test drive so it didnt really "pop" then)

Take the beauty straight to a detailer shop to get front wrapped with PPF and ceramic coat!

Is that the same dealer mine came from? I wonder if it sat in the exact same place as yours at some point!

no not the same, but i think they all look the same inside and out lol.

I don't think this dealer ever had a hakone.

Ahhhh too bad.

The dealer with the the stupidly overpriced markup white 86 is the one where your hakone came from :D

And i wasnt going to entertain interest on that any further than the one message i made to them.

More observations:
-Ebrake handle seems to be in a good spot for an armrest, i can rest my arm on it if i need be :D I dont actually think i need the armrest addon anytime soon. Ive gotten a bit lazier with the Scion's ebrake over time but all the people i came across seems to yank the damn thing to activate it....i checked it and it seems like all you need is 3-4 clicks (when new) to get it to work.......I know over time it kind of gets looser and needs more clicks but it just seems unneccessary to do it right away on a brand new car.
-It is noisy on the inside, not unbearably so. I usually have the music drowning out any noise in the scion, but when i dont its obviously quieter. The 86 is ok, the lack of bass from the HU seem to make the road/tire noise a bit more prominent.
-Im not sure what i can put in that tiny cubby next to the push button start. "hiding" the USB stick seems to be the only thing i can actually fit in there lol.
-Mirrors are kind of small, shoulder checking to the right has a good amount of visibility, shoulder checking to the left seems a bit more limited.
-I thought the rear view camera in the mirror might be annoying but its actually not a big deal at all. The image is pretty sharp, even if the resolution is a bit on the lower side.
