Here's the link to the translated installation instructions I created for the draw stiffener:

I'll do the same for the V-bars.

Ordered the Weir 4.556 FD kit and the STI trailing link set (ST20250AS000) today. Might have gotten the MCA traction mod parts, but got distracted by a pistol purchase (I finally got a surplus IMI 941F Jericho).

Ordered the MCA traction mod this weekend.

Also, just finished my collection of FRS/BRZ/86 scale models (for now, at least). Those are all of the 1/64 scale that i know of except the Hot Wheels Evasive FRS and the mini-Champs. The 1/43 & 1/18 scale can be pricey!

Enjoy the traction mod was a worthwhile upgrade to me. Loving the hot wheels I’m always looking out for 86 models !

@autoracer86: Do you have a pic of your 86 models?

Woot!

Just have to order the differential bearings to have all of the stuff for the rear end.

Prodigalson · 02-18-2025, 08:04 PM

More parts…. Just need warmer weather and time!

I have an interview today for a powertrain engineering position at Ford Motorsport, so for those that feel inclined to send up a prayer for me, I would appreciate it!

*Update: The interview was rescheduled for 9am Monday.

Prodigalson · 02-24-2025, 11:38 AM

Finished my interview an hour ago Thanks to all that prayed! It went well and is in the Lord's hands. I'll continue to pray that it works out (I should hear something next week).

I'm thinking about getting the STI lip kit combined with the Bayson-R ebay front lip for the FRS. I'd sure look to see what it would look like with gold RPF1's though. (borrowed pics from @androopoo):

Looks good to me, the lip matches the bumper silhouette.
