WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1235 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Swapped out the rear signals for some chrome amber bulbs today. They're not as powerful as the regular bulbs (hard to depict in daylight, but that sort of makes my point), but I like the clear look out back. I may take a few more shots at night and add them in.

Now I just need to find a set of 7444s for the fronts.

^ That phone case is pretty sharp.

I removed the FR-S badges from my floor mats today. Brought them inside, used a Phillips head screwdriver to pry out the two tabs underneath each mat, and vacuumed.

I actually drove her for a bit which I don't really get to do much anymore. I took her for a nice bath and then parked her on the side where they're NOT streetsweeping on Monday :P

Still the prettiest car on the block.

Yes the door lock covers is what I bought and they actually gave me 2 sets, one of which I'm giving away. Didn't even notice the rust proof thingies. Maybe I'll throw those in the next time I'm ordering something

Nice! I have a Montague Paratrooper which can fold in half and it fits amazingly in my trunk with plenty of space left over. Confuses the shit out of people when they see me pull a bike out of my car and unfold it.

I have the reverse lock out. Looks good but rattles a bit above 4k. Been meaning to take it off and put something in there to try and fix it.

same here! Used some elmer's to glue the pin into place cause it was kinda loose inside and I thought maybe that was the cause of the rattling. It quieted it down a bit, but not completely. Then I thought maybe it was the shift knob... re-adjusted that but nope. We need to shape up and figure it out.

I was thinking maybe some o-rings might work.
Been too lazy to investigate the sizes that I would need though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just painted the 'Toyota 86' embroidery on the dash panel red using a fabric paint pen. Quite happy with the result

Very well done! What was the colour before, gray? Which fabric pen did you use?

Astroboy · 08-14-2017, 12:23 PM

I installed the ft86speedfactory tune

Switched from Greddy Supreme SP to Tanabe Concept G single exit. Pretty much a night and day difference. This thing is LOUD!
