WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1096 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Shinigami301 · 12-09-2016, 09:22 AM

Sat in a comfy leather chair in the garage in front of the heater looking at it while smoking a Cuban cigar I picked up in Switzerland last week.

With all the salt and crap on the road this thing isn't going anywhere till spring.

Nicely done! If me I would neatly paint the areas visible through the holes flat black though since seeing the white (or in my case brown) structural components would drive me nuts.

Thank you! Means a lot! If anyone wants some aluminum mesh to try this out I would be more than happy to mail it to them. For some reason I bought 3 by 4 feet worth

It's some badass perforated aluminum through customcargrills.com.

I actually like seeing the inside structure, but I haven't taken it outside in the sun so I don't know how bad it is just yet.

Actually out in the sun it may not be as noticeable since inside would be in shadow.

I would have bought 3 or 4 feet worth as well since I would probably screw up the first try!

I sat in garage and starred at my car today (parked for winter)

Tcoat · 12-09-2016, 03:10 PM

Drove mine through the first significant snowfall of the year (not parked for the winter).

Precisely. Free is free but I questioned to why? Fresh oil and filter is all I need.
And now my TPS light is on.

Damn dealershits

...hopefully you might just need air and it isn't a damaged TPS sensor. When i first got my car i took it to the dealer for my free oil change. My oil was never changed and they rotated my tires instead lol.

I agree. I thing it brings to attention the function tastefully.

Drove mine on stock tyres in freezing rain; did not crash.

Installed Valenti Euro Winker relay. Three blinks with a single tap is very nice when shifting lanes. Plus the initial signal delay with the cheap led relay is gone. Yay!
