With that said, what are some good parts (looking for specific products, not just "springs" or "shifter", in the $100-$400 range for the FRS?



EDIT: Also, sorry for being MIA so much lately. Work/research is taking up a lot of time, and my off time lately has been largely devoted to the shooting range.

How about a gift certificate for a complete auto detail .....

This year I asked for the arm rest, and some alcantara bits to class up the interior a touch.

Good question.
I guess it's pretty wide open for me. I like improving aesthetics, performance, driver control...as much as I love the FRS, there's room for improvement alllll around. Armrest ain't a bad idea.

Tires?

I drive the car pretty rarely now, but I'm waiting for spacers for my daily to get the new tires to clear, so now I'm in the FR-S. It truly is a fun car, even at 5/10ths on wet roads.

So I did a thing and spent money on something other then carparts. I got a PS4 pro and am selling my old PS4 to a guy I work with. Now I just need a 4K TV this 1080p bull shit isn't cutting it anymore

Funny, just last week I bought a 1080p 55" Samsung tv cause of the deal I got, and I justified it by trying to recall how many times I've had the opportunity to use 4k. I knew there would be an upgrade due in the far future, but I was okay with that.

You sure you really need 4K?

If your playing on a smaller 21 to 24" screen and sit around 2-3 feet away you probably won't even notice. Not to mention that nice 1080p monitors are cheap.

EDIT: Are the PS4 Pro and XBone S even true 4k or are they just upscaled?
Looks like most of ps4 will just be upscaled and not even true 4k anyway http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthi.../#50ce2d365a67

This is why I haven't upgraded. Not worth it for the cost

you will buy the 4K tv originally for gaming but will end up watching 4K porn instead...i don't know why that happens but it does

Quite a few porn stars look pretty rough up close. I don't think I'd want to see them in 4K.

I bought 55" 4k TV Black Friday. I gonna use 4k to the full potential? No, prob not... but it was equal price as 50" 1080p TV, so so thought why not go bigger & better.

There comes a point when the quality of the material presented does not equal the quality of the presentation, and minor flaws become glaringly obvious.




And that's why I watch porn in 720p.
