That looks sweet! Really diggin your car!

I've done so much to the FRS in December. I think I'm done for now (that's what they all say...)

Got an OEM Antenna and the 4th brake light. Along with OEM black shifter trim and OEM black door handles too. Also SPC LCAs and Camber bolts but those aren't visible obviously.

I put together how my car has changed in 2022. The top was how it looked when I first got it in February, middle is around July, and the bottom is how it sits now.

Also bought intec fender garnishes since they were on sale for $100. Should be delivered today which is why my stock ones aren't on the car.

I had this happen with mine as well. I've had cheap kits on other cars but for some reason these want to go back to the "wrong" shape after a while. Even with a ton of 3m tape.

FSFRS · 01-11-2023, 12:43 PM

Bought the black traction control buttons, STI door sills, alcantara hood gauge cover, and the red door grips with the black trim. Also ordered new LED car side markers since one of my side markers seem to have fell off whilst driving....

I also had the LED for the HVAC controls go out. I took the interior apart and and put in a new bulb in there only for me to not put the knobs back on correctly. So I had to take apart my interior again in order to put the knobs in their correct positions. That was not fun...lol. But now I'm an expert at taking apart the interior..

RToyo86 · 01-19-2023, 10:00 PM

New set of wheels
RPF1 18x8 +35

Wasn't nessesarily after 18s but deal was too good to pass up.

SoCalHANZ86 · 01-21-2023, 06:44 PM

washed it when it was too cold to wash a car and then went on a little cruise and snapped a few pictures.

there were ice tubes coming out of the hose?

that was specifically why i installed a hot water spigot

paid for itself the first time i washed a car in 30 degree weather!

there really wasn't much coming out of it haha. I filled up the soap bucket inside with some hot water and set the hose in it and pulled it through slowly to melt whatever ice was in it. That hot water spicket is a great idea.

I'm mad that I didn't know this existed. I'm simultaneously glad that I just fill buckets from inside the house with warm water for ridiculous days.

EDIT: But it would be incredible to get warm water to the pressure washer too.

RToyo86 · 01-25-2023, 06:56 PM

Rinseless wash with a warm bucket of water is how I deal with winter washes. Whenever I'd do that with ONR the entire garage would smell like berries.

DandoX · 01-25-2023, 07:52 PM

my kid opened the trunk a couple weeks ago and I didn't notice until a few days ago

Battery totally lost all charge from the trunk light being on. After days of 1amp trickle charge the battery is back in action and the FRS is back on the road. It was a huge bummer having her unable to be driven for so long.

Now this weekend its time for a sorely needed brake bleed, hopefully I saved the procedure from last time somewhere.

Bonburner · 01-25-2023, 10:30 PM

Oil change and coolant flush right before a track day ~

SoCalHANZ86 · 01-28-2023, 06:06 PM

changed gear oil and diff fluid. Redline mt90 in the trans and redline 75w85 in the diff. shifts much smoother than whatever was in there. Both were surprisingly clean though.
And after these 7 eleven burritos, im gonna go restore the headlights using the cerakote kit. Was planning on trying the Griots kit, but its just a rebranded cerakote at double the price.

Used both, Griots have upper hand
