I'm Bonafide now!

Don't be try-en that here on the west coast -

Finally got the hood on, only been 8 months in the running.

Got my wireless steering control installed on my 86 a few days back. Plenty of time to get all of this done since my country had already went into lockdown due to COVID-19 two weeks ago.

Not too difficult, just had to patch 3 wires from the module to the head unit and power from the accessory. The buttons were then placed at the plaque area below the traction control buttons. Then a buddy gave a great idea - 3D print out a plaque piece which would slot the two buttons in.

Got the STL file from Thingiverse (thanks michaelxchristopher) and another friend made the necessary alterations to the design (thanks kev). Got it printed, did some additional fitting work with some sandpaper, finished the surfaces off with some trim protectant and it looks pretty good now.

Tried to install my new battery, only to find that the one recommended as compatible by the web shop had the positive on the left side

.

Started a return, and ordered the correct one (Varta D47, which is listed an incompatible

)...

Yes. It is actually more significant than I thought it would be.

Not having spent a lot of time before I got my green baby (hmn wonder if there should be an epoch marker for life before & after).

Anyway, haven driven a good friend's 2017 BRZ with 18" wheels, I really feel like some future upgrade for me will be at least 18s in the rear.

Installed some blacked out taillights, thanks to MugsBRZ!

Thepest · 04-06-2020, 04:20 PM

Installed a JRSC last week, waxed the car, installed a suede shift boot!

Well much softer. The Lava was dropped on RSR Superdown springs so rode like an old hay wagon. I didn't mind it though. In comparison the stock 2020 suspension is like raiding around on multiple rolls of Charmin!
why just 18s on the rear?

That be true.

As a side note - look how visible those brake pads are!
