Yup, just loosen the steering wheel bolt a bit but don't remove it. Center the wheel so you have a reference point then yank on it towards you - the threaded bolt will stop it from smacking you in the face. Then you can fully remove the bolt and the wheel. Be careful not to spin or move the clockspring!

If memory serves, the FT86 wheel is about the same diameter as OEM (362mm.) The 86Worx I had is about 355mm which is a bit smaller. My current wheel is from EastEndRaceshop and it's quite a bit smaller at 345mm.

Updated the map database in my nav system. 2013 BRZ, head unit had a 2011 map database installed, from Subaru. Was able to purchase a 2017 map database ($29.95). Install took about 1/2 hour.

Did they charge you labor fees on top of the map database cost?

No, I would have had to charge myself. My billing rate is quite high.

Took it to it's first autocross with the new wheel/tire/turbo setup.

New PWR radiator arrived to replace the Mishimoto.
I decided to change after a tour of the PWR factory with the owner (and watching them build a new Formula 1 Ferrari radiator in front of me...next to another being built for Red Bull)
