WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1530 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I hit a rock that was either kicked up by a pickup in front of me or something that came out of it's bed...loudest sounding impact I have ever had on a car windshield. Surprisingly, the window did not crack nor have one of the bullet-hole type holes on the outer glass. Just three tiny little nicks. Pretty tough glass!

More accessible torque. Car feels quicker. I also kinda like cruising at a slightly higher rpm because I don't necessarily have to downshift as much when going around traffic. Speed difference is about 5-6mph. 5th gear no longer shows up on my gear indicator, it's either blank or 4th

Someone backed into my unoccupied car for the second year in a row. This time with no car insurance... #86curse

I certainly had plenty of race car problems but this was the first of 5 years that the car wasn't in an accident or lost its motor

My body shop guy even made a comment like, “we get these in often, we just keep seeing these particular models”. I told him there’s a joke online that they’re cursed lol

Well, that's too bad -

I suggest when you are parking in a parking lot, park between two large SUVs.

That way, the old farts backing up are less likely to hit your car.

I suggest makeshift pool noodles around the perimeter of your car if you're feeling MacGyver enough..especially if you don't have car insurance...the locals or Walmart may look at you funny though.

Actually the locals at Walmart would probably look at you as one of their own!

Conditioned my leather with Mothers. It worked better than the meguiars wipes I was using.

This is a 100% leather seat skin kit that I installed.
