WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[BirdTRD]

.....just hope I can remember how it all goes back together!

And here I thought you lost a 10mm socket.

Yeah, my luck I'll get it all back together only to discover my 10mm is missing!

Losing 10mm sockets is a meme in the US, presumably due to them being metric (vs. Freedom Units that one would expect in the US) and fairly common on cars, and small enough to easily get lost - https://tiremeetsroad.com/2019/05/24...them-so-often/

What kinda bike is that? Familiar with old skool BMX, never owned one, was too busy with road racers and mountain bikes...More recently started to think about Gravel bikes but my wife won't allow any type of bike as she sees them as dangerous..

No, I don't think so. The general 10mm socket meme is that it's always lost, people have dozens of sockets in different sizes (like 11 and 9 mm) but never a 10, etc. This particular usage by @blsfrs is jokingly thinking that @BirdTRD has lost a 10mm socket and tore out the interior of the car to try and find it.

I thought it was my FR-S keeping me young. Now I realize it is to this forum that I owe the thanks...

Just a modern bmx bike. Almost 40 and still rip when I can.

The two most recent additions to my car have been a dumb license plate and sticker.

In the de-mouseification project on the BRZ, I designed and printed some body plugs to fill the holes in the trunk. The "tape" that Subaru uses drifts over time and leaves a mess.

Posted them up on Thingiverse along with the Fusion360 .f3d file for editing sizes.

Plugging holes just adds weight.. Come on man, get with it..

i learned the hard way years ago, and had to cut all 4 of mine off with a dremel without damaging the valve stem.. it was a long saturday...

Oh my goodness.. thank you for telling me I'll do it this weekend!
