After all these years, I decided to put the original UODS badges back on. I replaced the original badges with Toyota badges because I didn't want people to know I was driving a crappy UODS. But I don't think it fooled many people because the wheels all still say UODS. The funny thing is...It looks like they put the badge on the steering wheel on upside down.
It almost looks like it says "SCION". WTF is up with that? |

I redid my Forester oil cooler coolant lines with vibrant heater hose.
I should have done this from the start. The cheaper hose I locally sourced pinched a lot easier which made it taper at the bends. |

The big difference is it cost me many thousands of dollars to get the VW to 190,000 miles. Timing belts, water pumps, coils, radio, windows, cam chain tensioner, hoses, pipes, wheel bearings, you name it has failed on the VW. So far I've replaced the TOB on the FR-S. That's it. Sure I've replaced wear items such as oil, brakes, tires, etc. Anyone who has any doubts about the reliability of the FR-S should drive a VW for awhile. But the turbo is a blast still. I just noticed something unusual. I can switch between MPH and km/h on the speedometer display, but the odometer only reads in miles. Same thing with the fuel mileage. It only reads as MPG. |

I hacked a little holster out of kydex for my phone. The Twins are pretty lacking in the convenient and secure phone storage department. I formed a really rudimentary drop-in holster and attached it on center console with outdoor rated 3M tape.
I am a big Android Auto user, so I found a 1 ft cable. Perfect fit. |

Any time a mileage post pops up on FB, there's a guy with 320k miles still going strong on the original motor and trans. Plenty of people seem to make it 200k as long as you don't touch certain things it seems
