WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?

[zeal86]

So a friend told me about Wheelwell on Sunday... I've been building my page ever since... it will NEVER replace ft86club but it is another place to catalog a build with a few cool features...

Anyway, check out the page I started... still a work in progress...

You can def spend a LOT of time on Wheelwell. It's nice to see some of the other builds as well.

The color reminds me of my 1970 MGB-GT, which was British racing green .....

I was thinking British Racing Green myself. Makes you wonder though,why didn't they have a similar color option from the factory? I have a Hot Lava and love the color,but tbqh,I would've jumped at a dark green.

Today I painted the sides of the OEM seats in red to match the rest of my interior.

Aaaand not today, but tomorrow, I will apparently be calling roadside assistance because it appears my battery went dead while she was parked in front of my building. Thursday is streetsweeping soooo my day's going to be spent getting her jumped and then taking her over to the dealer to have her checked out to see if we can figure out WHY the battery went dead :/

Maybe the street sweeper sucked all of the electrons out of it as it passed .. ??

Maybe the car used up more electrons than it put back .. ??

Maybe the battery is thirsty .. ??

Maybe the battery posts got deposits on the joints .. ??

Maybe the battery is old and just can't perform anymore .. ??

These are good. Anker makes a good one too but it's been out of stock for a while.

Heh streetsweeper hasn't been by yet which is why I need to move it. If I don't, I get a ticket

Pretty sure the battery is original and the car's a 2014 (it was a used car - guy only owned it 9 months before trading it in), so it's possible it's just old. We'll find out tomorrow!

Good to know

The good news is I'm still under ToyotaCare which means it won't cost me anything to have it jumped and I'm at home so not stuck somewhere, so at least there's that, right?

What do you mean by "painted"? This looks excellent

Even if the battery will charge back up (and assuming the alternator is functioning adequately), I would suggest you invest in a new battery.

Life is risky enough without being stuck out somewhere with a dead battery.

Thank you! I used leather spray paint

This shade is exactly the same as my steering wheel and door handles

How does it wear? The girlfriend hates the color of her seats in her 350z but if it rubs off right away it won't be worth it

I just painted them today, so time will only tell
