20120716_191742 by Gaiakai, on Flickr

Car handles like a dream, exactly what I wanted. No more floaty boat Camaro. Can't frickin wait for the Five Axis though. The dealer said I could keep ALL stock parts. Wheels, tires, springs, and stock body panels too!!! EBAY!!!!!

-Tinted windows: 5% Rear, 15% small rear windows, 35% Front two.

Washed it, put the rear plate on (waiting for my GS relocation mount for the front), and refinanced it.

Took off the Scion and FRS emblem from the rear. Replaced the Scion Emblem with an 86 emblem. (same as the one on the sides). Didn't even need a heat gun or goo-gone. Easier than I thought. Thank you heat wave.

Our (me and my car's) first oil change

And fumoto valve is installed!

20120716_191742 by Gaiakai, on Flickr

Are those the rhino ramps? Which fumoto valve did you get? So I'm gussing self oil-changes for you from now on?

My auto shop charged my 12 bucks for just the labor. I'm wondering if that's worth the headache of doing it on my own...

Mpowered · 07-19-2012, 09:49 AM

Fumoto valve?!? This is the first I've heard of it and it sound amazing! Would be great for a car that gets alot of track time and thus alot of oil changes.

Yes, those are rhino ramps - the ones with 8,000lbs capacity. I got the F-108 Fumoto valve, as advised in this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10007

Definitely going to be doing oil changes on my own now

The first change really wasn't that hard, most difficult part was getting the oil plug out - it's super tight from the factory. But now with the Fumoto valve, that obstacle is gone

Yea same for me, the plug was way too tight, I didn't want to damage the nut anymore than I already had so I brought it to a mechanic instead. You were able to get it off by yourself... while under the rhino ramps? so little leverage lol
