Update on CEL 12/3/15
 

I just received a voicemail and will call the representative back. This is word for word from that voicemail.

"... Exactly 25 parts have been ordered for the car. Most of them are little O-Rings... bolts.. little small things.... *mumble, mumble* the one things... gear sprocket.. whatever they want to call it.. is the big thing. If all 25 parts show up they will proceed tomorrow."


I called him. We talked about if all these parts were covered under warranty and they are. So basically all we can do now is play the waiting game...

As of 12/9/15;
They have gone ahead and completely replace the Intake Cam Gear and tested the car and when they started the car back up in the morning the CEL still came on. They are now going to be replacing the ECU and see if that fixes the problem.



In the meantime I've been driving around in a 2015 Rav4.. It's basically the exact opposite of the fr-s, it's; bigger, heavier, taller, comfier, rides smoother, has more torque :lol: , has AWD, automatic :(, has a better sound system, better head-unit, more spacious, you get the jist....

Forgot to update this thread...

Got my car back last friday. Its driving pretty good now, probably have put around 450 miles on it already. It doesnt show any hesitation nor does it idle hunt at stoplights anymore.

Intec LED High Mount 3rd Brake Light
 

Hey guys,

I know I haven't been updating this thread in awhile, been gathering some parts that I still need to get installed.. But I was able to install my Intec LED high mounted 3rd brake light that I got on a group buy on this forum. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98926

This install really didn't take me more than 45 minutes, and that includes watching the 6 minute instructional video from ft86speedfactory. Pretty straight forward install.

I was given almost everything needed to install this brake light. Only things that you will need (if you don't have them already)
Flathead screwdriver
A drill
and some alcohol wipes or anything to clean the rear windshield

Very happy with this, and I think it looks a lot better than the factory brake light. It also looks maad with the beatsonic roof spoiler and it does not interfere with the light at all. It's still new so I will let you know if anything happens but so far I haven't heard any rattles coming from the rear :D

TRD Roof Fin
 

Finally got around to installing my TRD roof fin last night. I think it looks good and honestly these pictures don't do it justice. My gf and I spent about a good 20 minutes trying to line it up straight lol.

Best looking roof fin.

I like this build, makes me wish I stuck to my guns and got a white BRZ.

lol I think black would have been the only other color I would have gotten. I've been seeing a bunch of black 86s and just :drool: over them. Had to go white because it's one of my favorites on cars but black was my #2

Team Lava is where its at!!

Thread bombed !!!

(this will be our new trend of 2016 as per our previous talk)

hmmm....... I'll sleep on it and I'll let you know if it gets the seal of approval..

hahahaha okay. Best I could come up with for now. If it does not get the seal I might just have to take it down in shame

I forgot to update this thread..

I finally gotten new wheels! Rays Gram Light 57xtremes in matte graphite. They're staggered; 18x8.5 +33 front with 245/35 MPSS and 18x9.5 +40 rears with 255/35 MPSS tires..

I also had Neal @The Racers Line get rid of the crappy old studs for some ARP studs. I also have some Gorilla black steel extended open ended lugs to go over them as well as some Muteki open ended lockers.

I'll update this post with some pictures.

ARP studs are the way to go haha.


Oh I also forgot @MisterSheep I forgot to tell you my oem wheel thread dream is dead (thanks to ichi lol) so I got me some new shoes coming in. What closed ended lugnuts should I get? I want black and price is no objective. I must also have locks of some kind.
