Funny you say that, when i purchased the frs i was looking around for an rsx type-s. Looked for about 4 months but couldn't find a good one that didn't have a million mods done to it already. Then i fell in love with the frs and the rest is history!

My BRZ returned from my wife's road trip. I am so relieved no dents or damage. I did notice a little "backside of cow" splatted inside the wheel well and I just chuckled and thought "OK now its officially Texan".........

Then I saw the bottom, and especially that it somehow got INSIDE the skid plate (the black one behind the metal one over the headers as you can see in the picture).

Thank goodness for pressure washers.

As a matter of fact, I DO have an electric pressure washer.

I live in south Austin. PM me if you want to borrow or merely come by the house and blast it off here.

If more convenient, a spray self car wash might have higher pressure and wash the sh** down THEIR drain!

Chevron at Parmer and Amherst is a touchless automatic carwash with an undercarriage wash.

good point I slid partially under the car (just barely, too much good food in austin) and was washing with a pile of rags by hand. I do NOT recommend doing that - - the crap has nowhere to go but fall off the car and onto you. I immediately took a shower afterwards and I still smell like sh**. Also there is seriously a brown streak running down my driveway now....

Any of you guys getting local Ecutek tunes done? Kinda makes me wonder about my FA20club tune given the past few months of things happening with them. Not sure how safe my tune is. Car is running okay, but I really need to see AFR's and logs to determine that. I may review my last logs to see, and I'll get more logs this weekend.

Junior at Boost Logic did my friend, Po's boosted FR-S and did a pretty good job. He's tuned Subaru's for years, but I never heard about him until I went over there and talked with them. Just wondering if there are any other skilled tuners in Texas, specifically closer to Austin.
