WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?

[FSFRS]

Man i took that picture literally this morning then some dude in a trailer clips my front wheel and bumper in a parking lot. Sigh... somehow one of his trailer wheels just rubbed up against mine resulting in half of my wheel being rashed and inner spoke damage! as he left and continued onto the front bumper. Minor but still annoying.

chicks dig scars.

Oh man! Lots of cars getting scuffed by people lately

OLM/VLAND HID Headlights from FTSpeed came in and I installed them today, hardest part about the install was removing the bumper with all the stuck tabs. Splicing the boomerang and turn signals were easy! For about 2 hours of time, I think this install is one of my favorites so far

I have officially ended winter mode.
Summer mode has been activated.

Decatted a 2017 header.

An observation - the honeycomb on the cat of a 2017 is approximately 5% heavier compared to a 2013 cat.

How do you like the power difference compared to stock?

I tried a 2017 decatted header and ultimately swapped back to my gruppe-s after trying different header/catback setups.

Suspension refresh, new springs, added some fluid film black to anything stamped steel, and hit all the rubbers with some silicone lubricant.

I've not installed it yet - am still on a decatted 2013 header. But between that and a stock header with a tune is a very appreciable difference after 4K rev.

I'll have to retune for the 2017 headers to get the most out of it, but I would assume there would be a slight reduction at the low end due to the larger pipe diameters.

Im pretty sure decatting has been proven on this cars to cause a loss or minimal gain of HP due to the distortion of air created.

Lol no. PM rice_classic. For SCCA T4 they have to run the stock manifold but are allowed to decat it. They are making numbers comparable to most headers on the market.

Edit: you also don’t just punch the cat out. You cut that section out and replace it with a piece of tube. So what distortion?

It does make additional torque and power when paired with a tune.

Yes if you replace with pipe its fine, most just drill out the honeycomb leaving a chamber of distortion
