That is just a winters worth of dust from road salt and sand.

Just got a call from dealership today, eagle finally landed. The journey begins!

Hopefully will be ready for pickup tomorrow. Was told due to reduced staffing they still need to perform PDI and check to see if they have parts available for my optional accessory installs

Changed oil to Mobile 1 5-20 and removed my rear sway bar also adjusted front camber to -3 and removed about 13lbs off the front with a lawn and garden battery best 50 bucks spent.

Bit of a preview on the wheel color, I decided to paint the barrels on my wheels first.

After installing some Whiteline sway bars and endlinks, a neat new clunking sound is coming from my suspension. It seems to be happening in the rear, mostly at low speeds on uneven pavement. I lifted it up and checked all the torques and bolts, made sure the sway bar wasn't contacting anything, greased up whatever I could, no luck. Comes and goes, most people just live with it I've read. Will have to check to see if the coilover is seated correctly. Sigh...

Disconnect end links and loosen swaybar bushings. Set the car on the ground, full weight. Then tighten everything. Clunk will be gone. Your swaybar is binding

Embrace the ability to quickly yank the bumper on/off!

haha thats good to know, idk i just feel sketched out plus i hate the gap, i found this writeup (https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95624) it seems fairly easy and buying the releases on its own is cheaper than the move over racing ones by a huge margin so if i get bored enough i might just pick it up for the time being ill probably leave it alone or try and secure it to the splitter (which i might also remove to be honest)

Ordered gorilla 45128bc forged steel lugs.

Edit: did some calculations, also ordered APR extended studs and 10mm spacer.

Thanks! Will do that this weekend!

Washed it. My water softener setup works great. It takes my hard well water from 285 ppm to 2 ppm.

squall leonhart · 05-02-2020, 11:12 AM

I'd really like to get a softener setup like that. I have a filter on the garden hose, that's about it. It helped a little, but still have crazy water spots anywhere that I don't get dry within 2 seconds of washing.

Starting to think I'd be better off going to Crew Car Wash or something. :/

As for what I did to my FR-S today, it's not quite finished, but I'm installing my OEM fog light kit...only been sitting in the box in the garage for a year and a half or so.
