I like their show, probably even played a part in my latest purchase. I'd have to disagree about Mines though. Its a great road, very technical, but I find it hard to have "fun" on it. Too rough on some spots, too narrow in others, but I do like the eventual destination of the Junction and a choice of which next route to take.

Link for this episode of the podcast is here:

http://shoutengine.com/EverydayDrive...s-toyota-32187


It's also available through iTunes, Google Play Music, probably Stitcher and just about any other way you get your podcast fix.


I doubt that they have that many bay area listeners that don't already know about Mines but I could be wrong.

And also if I bought it, I would want to get a CF hood as well. And fenders, and doors. And roof.

In other news, my 2017 specific tail light gaskets have now shipped. I know several of you have literally been waiting on the edge of your seat for me to get my 2017 tails installed on my 2013 FR-S.

The suspense and anticipation is palpable.

I thought about selling mine and using my Toms since they cost so much but I sold the Toms instead.

I had almost 160k on my FR-S when I killed it. RIP 😭

If ever going in for a TSB, print it out and bring it with you. Helps a shit ton.

To be fair, there's nothing they can do about it except throw money away on parts & labor to make you feel like something is being accomplished.

But in any case, fuck every dealership on Capitol, it's a cesspool. Only thing they are good for is ordering OE parts.

You do know the chirping has ZERO negative performance effects? It's very typical for DI cars to have crazy loud fueling. This happens across all manufacturers. If I was running a Subaru dealer service department I'd tell you to piss off too. The chirping is normal.

At least you're not going for the TRD motion control bars, door hatches, and other questionable parts. Hahaha

[Clipdat]

Isn't this questionable? It seems like a visual mod more than anything.

At least with the door latches there are youtube videos of the doors flexing/moving during autocross runs w/o them.

I dunno, supposedly it directs air flow over the side mirrors better.

Links to those videos? I find it odd how a newer car would have enough body flex to affect performance.
