I know hazards, emergency lights, and I think I may have heard "flashers" before. I like TPAB. Personally, I say "hazards" because the button is always a red triangle, which is somewhat universally the hazard sign.

"4 Way Flashers" abbreviated to "4 ways" was a much more common term back in the 70s and early 80s when they were just another click of the signal arm or light switch.

Sounds like a perfect recipe for a lot of accidental 4 way'in.
70's free love style.

And that is why they made it a separate button with a hazard symbol on it.

That's two learned facts for you now today.

I haven't gotten anything new for my car in a while, but yesterday I received three separate FR-S-related items in the mail, all free. I got my snazzy new idler pulleys from @Raceseng, the first ever POTM winner sticker from @ichitaka05, and some sweet ass license plate LEDs from @Diode Dynamics as a prize for winning the Photo of the Month contest. Thanks guys!

Oh and Itchy, you were right about the tape job. That package was indestructible lol. I almost had to get my sword.

Have you installed this yet? I'm curious to hear some more feedback

MaximeT · 01-14-2016, 02:43 PM

Yes, extremely curious

Anthony · 01-14-2016, 02:51 PM

No.

I'm totally hosting a meet and drive this weekend too. Would've loved to already had it installed for that, but I just haven't had the time in the last two weeks.

This is some pretty intense weight reduction for this platform. Curious, why didn't you opt for an Elise? With the amount of money you've put into the FR-S, an Elise wouldn't have been too far off in terms of money....

I would've gotten an Exige, so mostly price. But also I wanted, and still do want, to get into fabbing carbon parts. So for selling fabbed parts, the 86 would be a much more marketable platform.

Anthony · 01-18-2016, 11:03 AM

Shenanigans and stuff.

Good deal. Can't argue with the popularity and business potential of the 86 platform!

I love my Exige but the BRZ is quite a special car. Sweet build, btw!

Thanks! And I'm just noticing your signature. K swapped Exiges are always awesome. I am jealous.
