WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?

Well, I've been using K&N filters for decades, so I'm pretty good at not over oiling, but still nice not to have to oil. I need to see if they have new airflow for my other cars. One for cabin air filter would be nice too.

Edit: just found the cabin washable filter on Amazon for $40.

Working through my track-prep checklist:


- Brake pads - DYNAMIC FRICTION Active Performance (F/R)
- 5W30 synthetic - Liqui Moly Full Synthetic
- DOT 4+ brake fluid change - RBF 600
- Dropped off spare rims to get RE71RS all around for dry track/autox

Last piece of my suspension upgrades have been ordered. Super pro 20 mm front sway bar and 16 mm rear bar

[Muskoka800]

Will install the new bushings in the Hotchkis bars plus a general suspension once over.
Track day soon.

Left my trunk popped and the light drained my battery. Third time I've done that.

Did a full paint refresh over the last 3-4 days.

Washed thoroughly. Used a clay mitt. Mother's cleaner wax to start as a base. Then 3 coats of Meguiar's liquid wax - which is the easiest wax I've ever applied. Did the windows really well too with a claybar and sealant. Re-blacked out all the trim and bumpers with Mothers Back to Black. Even detailed the wheels heavily and sealed those again too. Haven't done the engine bay and that might up next.

Reason for all this is our new autocross site here locally isn't the best. A lot of gravel. Enough the car probably doubled it's amount of rock chips. 200TW tires and gravel don't mix. It even broke my GoPro lens the first time we were there.

Just kinda wanted to get back to basics and clean up the car as best as possible. Really debating doing the 2nd event there this weekend. Sometimes you get so into racing, times, and pushing to the limit you start forgetting about things like detailing, car meets, etc.

Ain't that a MFer.

I swapped out all my bulbs for LEDs. I think I would have a chance that it wouldn't kill the battery.

The youngest daughter had a habit of not shutting the door to her truck fully and killed a couple batteries like that. I swapped in LEDs and hasn't happened since. Even when someone rummaged thru her truck overnight and left the door open when they were done.

What really sucked is I was on my way to drop my truck off early in the morning for service at the dealer. My wife was going to pick me up in the twin when she called and said it was dead. I had to take the dealer shuttle home, which took an hour. Luckily my battery is fairly new so charged up fine.

Installed a radium PCV side catch can. Realized I'd have to pull battery to twist the canister off, so I ordered a drain kit instead.

I took my trunk bulb out. Problem solved.

Yesterday I was driving my twin and it started to sprinkle. I turned the intermittent dial on the stalk and nothing. I thought, "great, intermittent wipers don't work.". I finally figured it out. It's been YEARS since I've turned the wipers on in that car.

[smackrel]

Coming from a long line of Hondas before my BRZ, I feel like the delay on the intermittent wipers leaves a lot to be desired here. The shortest interval is not short enough and the longest is waaaaay too long. Like I forget that the wipers are on too long......

I always felt like they could never be adequate. I mostly learned to drive in my E36, which didn't have intermittent. So I am forever just manually articulating the stick when I need them to do a swipe if the Rain-X isn't keeping up

My little 2018 86 hit 240,000km, so I treated it to new lower control arms, new tie-rod ends, new steering and sway bar bushings, new tyres (Bridgestone Potenza RE005 in 225/45R17), and new pads and rotors all round (DBA ones, to go with my big Brembo 4 pots).

Now it goes _exactly_ where I point it again.

Still on the original spark plugs.
