-- Boost T-Minus 2 WEEKS 
-- That is all
Hey guys I'm Ben from Chicago and this is my FRS build. I will be taking things slowly upgrading aesthetics and performance until the warranty expires at which point I will be going the Forced Induction route. I am a 19 year old college student working construction in my free time and the summers, been saving for this car since last year! This is my first stick shift car but i have been riding motorcycles for a while so this should be interesting.
I plan on doing track days, autocross and maybe even a few drift days with this car, all the mods apart from aesthetic stuff will be to help me perform better in these events as well as prepare & provide a solid platform for when I go forced induction.
Anyways,

My friend was installing one side of the cusco strut bar and he over torqued the bolt that connects the black engine bay brace and it sheered is there anyway to fix this...? its my fault for being a dumbass and forgetting my torque wrench
