WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1707 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

arxm · 09-29-2022, 11:32 PM

did quite a bit, got fresh tires, got a very good deal on bilsteins for the car, figured since i'm in the suspension might as well refresh most of the bushings, got a custom tune and re-installed my splitter, been a busy few days haha, finally got a beater for the winter so I don't have to feel bad about putting all the aero back on. Im tired of losing parts to the 401

put a 25mm hub centric spacer on the back and they made the wheels sit pretty flush

Looks perfect!

Changed my rear brake pads. I had a set laying around since the last time I was going to replace them. But my lug studs stripped and after dealing with that I wasn't in the mood to do anything else.
But once you have the wheels off, it's the easiest job I've ever done. Just need to remove one bolt, swing the caliper out of the way, and replace the pads.
Nothing to it. And the brakes even still work!

Wheel well day,

Cleaned up the coils
Greased the caliper pins
Clean all the flaked paint of the pads and greased the tips!
Caliper gravity bleed.
Checked suspension bolts/nuts

Fueled her up and she's waiting for track day Monday

Tightened everything in the front suspension today and gave all exposed threads the FluidFilm treatment. It's nasty and looks like shit, but way better than drilling out bolts the next time I need to take them off. Doing the back later, I have other stuff to do back there when UPS gets here.

Also didn't realize how much higher the front is than the rear... Going to raise the rear a bit maybe

Don`t know what specs or suspension you run. FYI I was quoted for mine 350mm center of wheel cap to lip on rear and 355mm for the front.

HKS GTIV GT. The wonky ride height is my own goof, I set them and then never really looked back after everything settled since camber looked fine

Re-mounted my driver's side USDM fog light...

I clipped a cone at the Autoclub speedway roval on the left turn coming off the banked turn into the infield at 60MPH... deflected the bumper cover enough to let the two tabs on the inboard mount pop out. All better now and ready for Streets of Willow!

Ocvs are <9 months old, but for the rest yeah, no salt nor snow around here. After prying off the front cover and upper oil pan though, yeah this kind of sucks, hopefully I only have to do it once a decade or so.

Nah, they just get yellow again in 3-4 months, there’s other shit to do.

After you polish them, spray them with clear UV protection spray paint

Krylon clear UV protection
