WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1288 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

After ~16,000 miles on E85 since mid-May, I switched back to 93 for the winter (just in time for 18*F overnight).

I've always wondered when I'm shopping for a barely-used car how some people manage to put 30k+ miles on a car that's only a year old... I barely put on 10 and I think it's a lot, lol

That and:

TRD lowering springs
TRD sway bars
Yoshihara D5C 18x8 +40 rims w/Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires
Heavy Duty Steering Rack Bushings
STI Upgraded Steering Rack Bolts
Anti-Lift/Caster Bushing Kit
Front Control Arm Rear Bushings
Rear Trailing Arm Bushings, Front
Toe Arm Bushings
Inner Lower Rear Control Arm Bushings
roll center adjuster set

I guess I cheated.

Lol definitely! When I got my 18s and MPSS, the car was grippy sure, but there was more roll and a vague steering feel. After the coilovers went in, it was perfect. Feels so weird driving on 17s in the winter now

50-mile roundtrip commute, a fiancée who lives an hour and fifteen minutes away, and always insists I drive, weekend road trips on Saturdays, Canyon runs on Sundays, and routinely having to drive long distances for work. At least that's how I do it.

I've always wondered when I'm shopping for a barely-used car how some people manage to put 10k miles or less on a car each year.... (I picked up my 1-year old CR-Z with 6k miles.)

Got an oil change + swapped the tranny fluid to Motul.

Also my Corsa's been sounding too UEL since cold weather started and I asked my mechanic to check for leaks. No leaks, so that's just what it does in the cold, in case anyone's interested. Goes from a howl to a growl

Havent had that issue, though it doesnt even get to freezing temps here. If anything its gotten quieter as everything's broken in.

I just got through installing an aftermarket front blinker. I am very pleased with the look. My phone camera does not do them justice.
