WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 316 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Installed Texas Longhorns covers over my license plate screws... ignore the rainy day junk on the paint... HOOK 'EM HORNS!

Default screws had washers that appear to be nonremovable, so I used two layers of 3M double-sided tape instead of the cap they provided.

Didn't know such things even existed, haha... Where'd you get them?

Hook 'em

Well, now, folks ...... here we go again ...... with a biggie .....

Yep, I caved into "forum pressure" and installed a K&N drop in, oiled up, air filter.......

DANG, I do believe it makes a difference! The car seems to be a bit more responsive, most notable above 5,500 rpms.

OR, maybe it just "seems" that way, because I just paid $50 to replace a perfectly good air filter .....

Since western Washing isn't all that dusty, I figure it will filter OK.

The filter seems to make the engine sound a bit different ... in a good way.

Ya'll may wish to blow out your paper filter from time to time .... this is what mine picked up after 7,000 miles.

Hey, WHO has been driving my car through a hay field ... ??

I'm a week late posting this. Installed on the 26th of November. Been too busy enjoying the the deep note of beautiful music it releases when the throttle is being pushed or just sitting at idol. GReddy/TRUST CS GTS Ver. 2 (limited edition) according to @FT-86 SpeedFactory I own only the 6th one in the USA.

Sent from SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE. KEEP CALM AND CHIVE ON.

Yep, as I recall, I got stuck behind a marijuana truck heading out of the hills, going to town. As you may know, that stuff is now legal in Washington ..... so, they can transport it during the day....

Well, my butt dyno is overridden by my ears dyno ..... which isn't always re-calibrated everytime, after my wife digs wax out of my ears and clips my ear hairs.....

Friday - Apexi Drop in Filter. - Sounds mad.
Saturday - Wash/Cleanse/Wax with Bowdens Own (Aussie gear) cars looks better then when i got it from the dealer.
Sunday - Installed Beatrush MCB & Grimmspeed Strut bar. - Can really notice the difference with the Beatrush MCB.

Bought an AVO Stage 1.5 turbo kit.........going in for install and tune on dec 10

Last weekend, prepped her for long term storage and drove into the hangar until next April. 2013 was a thoroughly entertaining FR-S year, looking forward to a full season of auto-x and track days in 2014.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a Beatrush MCB?
