The plate also moves around a little, I might need to put some Teflon tape around it to make it tighter.

Well, I tried to tell you would need a big F-ing hammer and cold chisel to get that cover off.....

And the hacksaw to cut down those long screws...

And duck tape to make it tighter.....

You probably just used the blow torch to warm up your hands....

I just added the black digital Weathertech Mats and could not be happier with the purchase. An incredible product and a must do since it rains anywhere between 6-9 months of the year in Oregon.

It was actually a pretty steep uphill to a light bend to the left on the highway. It was actually pretty even as we started probably 30 yards before the incline began and throttled it all the way to the bend where he braked before I did as he was on the inside and it was a very easy bend, where we merged into other 4 lane traffic and went our separate ways. Not much of a "race" lol neither of us seemed fast at all :P

Well, that's a good start ....

Now, if that new (to you) puppy of yours has "summer" tires on it, ya wanna be careful on snow covered roads. A set of good all-season tires will get ya by in Oregon ..... if you stay out of the mountains ...

The guy who had it before me actually swapped out the stockers for some A/S tires. It's funny because the day I bought the car, we had one of those rare days where snow just kept pouring down...Let's just say that was a fun drive home lol. This car won't be seeing the mountains during the winter, I got my 4x4 for that

I just had to take my FR-S to the dealer for CEL (P000A & P0011), She's gonna be in for at least a day. Sounds bad though, could be in longer or worse
