Your lucky. Could have been a Rover. Makes BMW seem reliable.

Wash and installed a suede shift boot and new knob. Shift pattern looks way brighter red than in person.

My daughter got rear ended which totaled her car.

So, last night I loaned her my FRS. She called about 15 minutes after she left our house and ask me "how do you get this car in reverse"?

Nope, no worries -

I was going to tell her to be careful when going in reverse, because, things will jump out at the car.

Merry Christmas to me

The reverse lock out got me the first time I drove my FRS. I sat in the car fiddling with the gears for 2-3 minutes before it dawned on me what to do.

Too funny! Let's go for a drive. We'll plan a route to avoid backing up anywhere.

Yep, any drive that says "loop" would be good -

Anyone else see this one coming?

*deep breath*

Exedy stage 1 clutch and flywheel, verus clutch fork and pivot, TOB, mt90 trans fluid, grounding straps, right valve cover leak fixed, leaking exhaust gasket, rear crankshaft seal.

Not sure why people say the lighter flywheel is difficult to drive with. I dont know if I'm just used to driving with deteriorating components but the drive home was buttery smooth. Sure, the biting point moved a bit, but I can actually feel where it is now as opposed to guessing before. No stalling or anything, excellent mod.

My chassis project is finished. Modelista head and tail lamp covers, replaced head and tail lamps, full repaint and ppf.

Aloha folks! I haven’t been around these parts in a long time but still have my ‘13 FR-S and still love it. Just under 100K and no real troubles (knock on wood). I’ve got a few cosmetic deteriorations so thinking about refreshing the car a bit. Haven’t decided what to do with the paint but currently looking into doing some DIY interior alcantara to go with the knee and speaker pads I got years ago. I’m retired so I got time to tinker.

(Also considered buying something newer since I have the oldest cars in the house but nothing new really fits my desire like the old girl does.)
