How did you mount the OFT like that? I was looking to do something similar to mine.

I used a mount like this (https://www.walmart.com/ip/46997826?...&wl13=&veh=sem) from Walmart. It's less than $20 and works great. Best part is its easy to remove when I need to take the car to Toyota. I would check in store before ordering online. Feel free to pm me with any more questions!✌

Did an update to my shift knob and finally wrapped it in leather. It's not perfect, but definitely feels much nicer.

I would have been screwed had a friend not had his tools handy.

Since the Diode Dynamics bulbs were rather tall to the point where I couldn't simply just insert them and plug back in (at least without much fiddling) I ended up removing both tail lights and tllting the stuck bulb out through the hole. Since they were out, I had an easier time inserting them since I had more manueverability.

It's probably a bit extreme to most, but removing and reinstalling the tail lights was one of the easiest things I've ever done to my car.

Perhaps you could make a line on the ground parallel to your bumper (say 20cm away).

Then make alignment marks on the frame around the screen.

Track day, bro. Texas World Speedway with Chin Motorsports. Small group this time, so lots of open track. But I spent some time chasing/running from some faster 86 friends, and I managed to drop 4 seconds of my previous fastest time! I just had to be more comfortable with letting the rear slip a little.
