The ones I'm picking up are repinned for the frs. I'll probably have to return it to stock then go from there do you happen to have a picture or diagram of your plugs

Which plugs? The factory BRZ plugs or the factory FR-S plugs?

[brianlin87]

from the acura forums to the FT86 forum - good seeing you here bud!

[JDis3]

The factory brz. Since the headlights I'll be picking up are repinned I'd like to see what they looked like to begin with

You're in luck! I took a picture of the factory plugs, but I don't have them on my phone anymore. They're on my computer at home, so I'll upload them tonight and PM them to you.

Boring shot while leaving work two days ago, but :shrug:

Also, I neglected to post a pic of the rear seat delete. So, here:

Don't mind the horrible stitch on the photosphere, I was in a rush. There's a panel that covers the opening for the trunk but I haven't tossed that in yet. I'll eventually get around to it.

don't see this color around too much... color is great!

[JDis3]

Rear seat delete looks great! which one did you go with

[Takumi788]

I always say that I think Toyota fell flat with the FRS owners with the lame headlights.

FRS + BRZ Headlights = Perfection

I see that you listed "BRZ headlight with Lens swap" on your mod list. Whats the lens swap do?

Schrader Performance. It's a really well made kit, and Steve Schrader is a nice dude to deal with.

Thanks! STI-R clear lenses. They were a pain in the ass to dial in, but the sharpness and color was worth it.

so how do you set up your headlight? i.e. DRL, signals, parking, the boomerang, etc.. thanks

-Light switch in off position: all lights off
-Light switch in parking light position: boomerang, side marker, and rear running light on
-Light switch in full on position: boomerang, side marker, low beams, and rear running light on

I deleted the DRL relay, but have not rewired the boomerang to come on whenever the e-brake is disengaged. It's not high on the priority list at the moment.

Notes:

• The passenger side door was replaced because my friend opened it into a brick wall and caused $1300 in damage to it. I bought a used Asphalt door for $250 and swapped it myself. My friend still owes me big time.
• The PTuning header makes the SRT exhaust very loud
• The exhaust note gets deeper on E85
• E85 completely changes the car, for the better
• The Delicious Tune, service, and flex fuel kit is great
• JDL quality is top notch
• With the intake and exhaust set up the way it is now, the car is biased towards induction noise (which I thought was odd since the Airaid is a sealed box), which is the best noise in my opinion
• Front camber is set to -1.9* and the rear set to -1.8*; stock toe settings

I've fallen back in love with driving the car. It turns in on a dime and holds a line perfectly. I've still got a pile of parts to toss on in the coming months, so expect another update sometime around March 2017
