I know, I've always thought it was kinda strange to have a huge blank spot right there. Was like "They couldn't have given us a 2nd cubby there instead? Lol

After thinking about it, probably right. Need to find some of that smoking spray paint folks use for the head/taillights. Thinking the FR smoked black, R smoked red.

Something like this maybe?

It looks like it sticks out a lot.

Noticed some of you all are running the perrin lightweight crank pulley. I have been doing some reading/research and wanting to upgrade myself. Was curious if anyone else came across the "Go Fast Bits" lightweight pulley set. It contains the crank pulley, plus both a water pump and alternator pulley.

Anyone out there with more knowledge than I, think that there would be a benefit to the set as opposed to just the lightweight crank pulley?

The set would be more beneficial, and one day I plan on getting the other pulleys. I just figured I would spend money on things I know would net more gains.

I agree for sure. Unfortunately, I am leaving SATX soon to start my career in California/San Fran. Besides MUCH higher taxes (another topic), I have to be careful what exhaust/engine modifications I do that arent CARB/dealer/factory installed. I figured if I swapped all three pulleys and later got a the larger TRD intake (overpriced I know)...it would hide the pulleys.

Pulleys I'm pretty sure don't need to be Carb certified as they don't effect the emissions of the vehicle.

I does (though it wasn't full "stuck-down"). The little floor mat FRS decal would actually go perfect there though. Size of it definitely looks better on the dash area than the rear-lid badge.

Exactly why I am interested in the GFB pulley set. Want to place order, but was hoping someone local had sometime to help me with the install when they arrive. I am located on the north side, near la cantera. Dont know how much labor will be involved, but I will provide libations if need be. As I have mentioned before, my tool spread is limited as is my non-existent garage space. Therefore, Ill take any hand outs I can get. Dont want to pay the toyota/scion dealer or local shop for something it seems many of you all have already mastered.

Got my FR-S a couple days ago! I'm in Lubbock, but I have family in Universal City. San Antonio meet would be fun!

Check this thread out! We've got a twisted sisters run on the 16th and most of us are going to be at coffee and cars tomorrow from 7a.m. until 10 a.m.

[Extreme86]

Also, Harris Hill is having an event today and we may want to consider checking it out as spectators rather than doing the Sisters Run after Coffee and Rides....

Sorry I didn't make it out guys. I literally slept through five alarms..I'm a no go on the run as well.

A few parts coming in this week. These will be my first mods to the 86 as she is still a virgin at 10090 miles. What are the suggestions on the install? Should I do them myself or take'em to some place? GReddy axle back, cold air intake, crank pulley and shifter bushing. I've no experience in doing these type's of things thus far.
