Spotted this on the Chrysler proving grounds parking lot on my way out today.



My friend was telling me the other day that someone he knows has an frs working here. Anyone on this board?

I've seen him a bunch of times around Rochester. I'm pretty sure he lives around me. He was stopped outside Rochester and tienkien rd and I tried to say hi but he wasn't in the car. Don't think he's on the forum though

Assimilate or die!!! Just something to think about it. I mentioned that if we see any non forums 86 drivers we ram them off the road in order to talk to them to get them on the forums. One of us!!

Anybody know a place to get the fumoto valve around here? I'd rather get it locally so I can pay cash for it.

No.. but I can get one for you on Amazon prime for $23.50 and it will be here on Thursday. You can just pay me the cash if you want.

Just saying. This car does not need a fumoto valve. It is SUPER easy to get to and release the drain plug. Super super easy.

I might take you up on that. It's not like I have to pay cash. It's just that I had some unexpected charges on my card so I want to pay it down before I charge anything else.

Has there been any developments on a ft86 meet this weekend?

I know it's not necessary but it just makes things that much easier. Plus, I always seem to spill oil so I think this will help.

I have the fumoto valve and I love it. I think it was worth the money just for the ease and cleanliness of it.

let me know if you want me to order it.. it's 2 day shipping..


Nothing pinned down for this weekend yet.. we'll see if a few more people chime in.

The pictures of the tuner challenge the "mint green" one in these pictures and the "gold" color one both have my companies logos on them. BASF. One on the front bumper and the other on the back. I am pursuing this to figure out how I can get involved with these shows! I work in electrocoat which is the layer of paint below primer layer right on top of the metal that provides the corrosion protection for cars and the guys next to me work on the top coat/color layers. I will keep you posted, hopefully I can snag some passes to next year's show!

I also spotted a silver BRZ/FRS sitting in the strip mall parking lot looking to get on Telegraph near 12 mile road. It was a woman driver wearing white sunglasses. Anyone know who this is? This was April 23rd around 4:30 in the afternoon.
