WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?

[RToyo86]

Picked up some optimum opti-coat hyper seal for my next wash.

Also snagged a radium master cylinder brace from a part out.

Nope, but I have a smoke hanging out of my mouth, a beer between my legs talking on the phone.


Texting while driving is downright dangerous

Is $400 CAD good value for a open flash header V2?

I have a seller offering it to me from a part out.

Seems fairly cheap for a header to me. Maybe verify all the welds are in good shape before the buy? Have a look at the collector.

Thanks for clarification. Idk Openflash stuff given I'm not a fan of the company lol. But hey, if it works, it works.

Thanks. It's in good condition, the seller is a good guy.

He's willing to toss in a Perrin overpipe for $500 all in.
I'm hesitant since it won't pair well with my Corsa catback that I bought new 6 months ago.

Just finished cleaning the inside of the back window on my FR-S.

I got in, got it cleaned alright, however, I thought I was going to have to call for the jaws-of-life to get me out -

Bottomed out on the freeway today. My FRS is only two inches lower from stock height, but the bump that I hit managed to smash my Fumoto oil drain valve and put a small dent in the oil pan.

I've got a spare if you need it

[new2subaru]

^^^Wow! That could have been much worse and spilled your oil. Scratch that item off the list...

With the oil filter on the top of the engine I use an oil extractor. I haven't even seen the underside of my car yet. When I get rid of this car the oil drain plug will still be at factory torque spec. Plus the oil changes are a no mess affair

That is why I would never put a drain valve on a car. The added 10 seconds to remove a plug is worth not having the risk of knocking a drain valve off.

Seeing how tough it is just gives me more confidence. I know "10 seconds" is hyperbole for the sake of emphasis but in reality, the Fumoto is a godsend for a few reasons. Mid-stream oil sample is a hateful task without it.
