What's the nubbin on the steering column? I'd guess microphone for something, but I figured I'd ask.

Good guess, its a microphone for the handsfree phone kit every GT86 gets over here from factory

Thank you onkelc for your built thread. Was looking around to see some of the "visual only" TRD parts and your thread was very helpfull. However I decided not to get them, still like how they look

Thanks for the kind words!

I try to keep the changes to the exterior of the car at a minimum as to not attract the heat more than necessary.
Plans for 2014 include a new exhaust and some OFT treatment, will keep you all updated.

Auris = Prius V?

OnkelC · 01-09-2014, 11:00 AM

i think the Auris is a EU only model line, it replaced the Corolla line over here a few years ago.

it's basically the Prius drivetrain sans the Prius looks.

Next Stop: OFT, btw.

Currently I am torn between upgrading the exhaust and upgrading the clutch/flywheel. What would be your next step(s)?

Tried my luck with Opti-Coat 2.0 today.
Start @7:00:

Test of a recently opened car wash for the prep:

First breakfast:

second breakfast:

The result looks promising, but I'll have it redone by a professional sometime in the near future.

Better pics of the Opti-Coat treatment:

I am impressed. If the durability is on par with the sheen, I am more than satisfied.
