WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 726 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Realized my question was already answered...

Anyway, just drove my car around finally for the first time after installing the GrimmSpeed CAI. It is a world of difference. Especially in the higher RPMs.

Trying not to break shit lol

IIRC, you remove the clips and then pull the liner out about 10" above where the last clip is. This will give you more access to get in there. Its going to be snug and annoying to do.

I went to my first HPDE at Texas World Speedway!

Thanks @GrimmSpeed for such a great product!

And so it begins....
Congratulations on entering a world of trawling the classifieds and Craigslist/ebay/kijiji for aftermarket parts and things to tinker with, or tools that will cause your significant other to roll their eyes when you explain how you "absolutely must have that aluminum racing jack".

I want that engine bay... in my mouth. It's just SO clean. I hate Alaska.

But I love your engine bay.

I'm definitely going the @GrimmSpeed route with everything. Getting the strut bar and pulley cover. Also anxiously waiting for their pulleys! As for exhaust, I might go the Perrin route, but if GrimmSpeed starts making them 😱

That's the plan! Just waiting on a decent deal. Maybe buy used or something.

Looks good man, did you remove and use heat?

Yeah took out 1 at a time and put on film, heated it and put it back in. Heat really made it easier !

I was mainly worried about not ripping the fender wall but it came out easily. After getting done with the first fog light I was able to take out the other , apply film, and put back in under 10 minutes

I tried without heat or removing. FAIL. I did get them good without heat though. Once you put it back together, the ugly bits are hidden anyway.

I got the passenger side from the engine bay, but had to go through the fender liner for the driver's side.
