Agreed, reminds me of a GT-R. Sure it feels good, but I have that nagging feeling that its not "me" doing it.

It is interesting you say that now that I'm back to stock as well. It's completely different than my old car was.

My FRS is still stock. Let me know if you ever want to switch cars for a week.

To be fair, it is a different car than the old one. Lol. The final drive alone turns it into something completely different.

There's only one problem with that plan.

Has anyone made a window decal or anything to represent us 86 owners in NorCal? I know there's Nor Cal 86 Drive, but theirs are regular stickers. It disappeared when I went to put it on my window and was really hard to make out what it said so I slapped it on my toolbox instead. lol


If there isn't I'd definitely entertain the idea of having a bunch made and giving them out if the cost is low enough. If not I'd just sell them for whatever they cost me.

The middle one is the logo for Norcal86 (like in everyones signature) that we sell for $5 each. I should be at the next Sac meet with them. The top one is one the Sac group came up with themselves. Ask Tracy in the FB group as he has those and they are free.

How is the 86drive one hard to see? Where did you try to put it?

It was the colored one just like your signature, just somewhat transparent ink on a clear sticker. I went to place it on my quarter window and it was barely visible.


I didn't see the white one you have pictured though. did I miss it? I definitely would have snagged the white ones had I known they were decals.

Did you buy it on cafepress?

The one in the pic is available from @PMok or myself in person only. I think I have some still if not I'll try and get more before the Sac meet.
