Drove over the 10,000 mile mark. Detailed it. Scraped the bottom of the front lip by dropping it when I pulled off the front bumper to install the Perrin intake.

The dealership I went to only had new FRieS (my plural word for multiple FR-S cars), so we only got to test drive the new ones. So those had more miles on them because of that.

I've seen the DIY for that. This might be a noob question, but it's my first manual.. Does that fuck anything up that if something happens to your clutch or tranny, they can come back and say it's because of that?

I got my system on sat and listened to it for 3+3 hours on sunday during a trip to the racetrack.

The difference is like day and night. I can comfortably listen to it a full volume for hours, whereas stock system gets too loud at 70% power, distortion becomes apparent and its still not enough to overcome the cabin noise at (my) freeway speeds. And it sounds so much better you don't even recognize the start of some songs because you can now hear instruments and notes that previously were being lost.

The subwoofer can also be removed easily for track duty, it uses only two bolts. The added weight is apparent during daily driving though, but not a big deal.
