Normally you should be fine reusing the header gaskets but I'm not sure about the one from the header to the over pipe since that one is metal. I replaced it myself but I ended up having to take it back off so I'm hoping it will still be good to go!

Appreciate it, thanks!

Also, I was looking for a tablet mount, but didn't want the seat bolt kit nor windows, and I came across this:

Apparently it goes in the fake CF plastic thingy and then you can place a mount of different types depending on preference. The only problem is that they're selling it separately (the clip and the holder). Clip is $36, and holders vary. Tablet one is $28. Which is a lot considering most mounts are sub $25. It's the only one that I found that's not view-restricting when driving nor inconvenient (like Arkon seat bolt mount).

I hit 18k in 11 months, and thats with me putting 6k on my corolla at the same time. Now corolla is full time while FRS is for funtivities and groceries.

You all remember Kevin? 30k miles on the new car.

So I had my car back to the dealer yesterday. I was due for an oil change, so I let them do it in addition to recoding my car to the new TPMS sensors (finally!). I also had them verify the chirping was still there so when an actual fix comes out I can just call them up and have them order parts.

Just recoding the TPMS sensors costs $50. I'm lucky I got the sensor IDs from Brady, though. The dealer thought they would need to dismount each tire to get the IDs and that would have cost $200 for the whole shebang. Yikes.

I've never paid for an oil change at a dealer before, but it went better than expected. My entire bill was $100 (including the TPMS recoding) and they gave me a $15 mail in rebate card from Valvoline. In addition, I was given an XV Crosstrek loaner for the day. That car ended up being pretty nice. I liked it.

werd. It's okay your lil bro was there to fill your spit cup.

It will be a while before I'm back down there again. I need time to sell my useable organs on the black market to pay for the next project unless I rape my 401k…decisions decisions lol

hope they remembered the crush washer….we didn't see one where it belonged after the last dealer oil change I will ever have.

I'm here minding my own business in McDonald's waiting for my food to come out and the manager yells "you in the red, give me your receipt!" Now I have two extra quarter pounder burgers that I can't eat...
