Hey, I actually did something to my 2013 FR-S today, actually last week. It has the original battery in it and I have noticed it was starting to be not so perky when starting the car. So, since most of my trips are less than 6 miles, at least once per day, I thought the battery was getting weak, although it tested 12+ volts.

So, I put it on my charger for about a half a day and it has perked it up nicely and has lasted all week.

Works sort of like Viagra - if you ain't too far gone.

Sounds like you need a fancy high output alternator to make up for the short trips. Better get Bubba a case of beer on your next trip

Installed my Cusco pedal, after sanding it to a matte finish with 320 grit:

Found a small header leak, took everything apart and added some gasket maker to help seal it.

Ended up doing a while I was back in there mod and installed matching gruppe-s OP.

Bubba says to put it on a stump out in the sunshine for a day and it will be as good as new. He said he read that on the internet -

I love Bubba but I question his logic.

Never used Bubba's method but I have used aspirin in a real pinch although it only works with a flooded battery I believe.
