I must say I'm very happy with the Scangauge. It gives me the additional data I want without bulky gauge pods.

Just noticed your MPG. 18.9MPG? You're drag racing it on the weekends?

A combination of recently filling up, several very short trips where the car never completely warmed up, and idling while I mounted/configured the scangauge.

I was wondering if anyone would notice that

Just ordered Mach V Awesome's (gunmetal) Hotchkis springs, and Tsudo header back exhaust. I couldn't help it anymore and wait. Spring is coming

Ill get some pics as soon as they get installed.

I'm still waiting for Eibach to start shipping out the R2 coilovers.

I'll be running the included 275/350 lbs/inches Eibach ERS springs. I may want to increase the rate depending how much I want to abuse my body lol.

Edit: Oh, still need to order a set of sticky tires. I'm torn between the RS3 and the Star Specs II. I still haven't read any reviews on the BFG Rivals yet.

Yea, I have to find tires as well. Let me know when you are ready, my cousin manages the Discount Tire in Eden Prairie, he can get pretty good deals.

I've been driving mine all winter, but I'm getting the itch to install upgrades I've been acquiring.

Is anyone going to be pulling the trigger on a turbo/super charger?

Mine's free! It's a little early, but the Forester has a bad wheel bearing in the rear I'll be replacing. I have a fear that I won't want to drive the Forester after I replace it. The FR-S is too much fun!

Side note...how did your day go? I read the news and thought of my fellow FT86er.

ToxicSneakers · 02-27-2013, 12:21 AM

Been rabbiting Mexico traffic and hills/curves in 75° weather! I am sooo sunburned!

The local people dig the FR-S, and no one has ever seen one before mine. If I slow down at all in a school zone the young girls in their catholic school outfits whistle and signal for rides. It is kind of embarrassing. Embarrassing for them when they realize it is a geezer driving AND they don't get picked up, either.

See you in May - keep the wheel side down.
