Installed the Forester oil cooler to help my oil come up to temp quicker during these Canadian winters.

It's called a cooler but it's more of a heat exchanger. The coolant helps bring the oil up to temp quicker when the car is warming up, and the coolant also keeps the oil from getting too hot when you're driving the car hard.

One of my goals is to participate in an ice race with the FR-S. I wish I could drive across states to do one.

Yeah, good point. I don't like dealing with underbody rust...

I do want to come out to Washington sometime in the winter when I can afford it to do Dirtfish, and hopefully some ice racing.

I didn't know of Subaru Experience, but I was generally speaking of doing something just like it whenever I get a chance.

LED installation

So, I'm about 6 weeks into ownership, less than 600 miles on the clock and already making minor tweaks. Replaced side markers with JDM clears fitted with amber LEDs, and LED lights all around (all interior, license plate and reverse lights). I ordered the Intec high mount that I will install after getting tint applied.

I have the JDM clear side markers with LED on order also.

How difficult is it to pop that clip to get out the old markers?
