Morning drive through the canyons with a friend with an S2000. FR-S felt great - it's such a fun car out there.

I emailed a vendor a couple of weeks ago about a set of LED bulbs I was interested in, and they basically said they couldn't be 100% sure because they hadn't worked on an FR-S before. It was further complicated by the fact that I have aftermarket headlights. |

Watched her leave.
Thanks FT86Club for being an excellent time waster for the past 8 years. And the brilliant FR-S / 86 / BRZ platform playing a part in my life for 6 years and 134k memorable miles.

Had a local shop modify the backbox I ordered, as the right-hand tip was sticking out by almost an inch. 30 bucks, but I (or rather, my OCD) think it was worth it.
Before: After: End result: Also, used JB Weld hi temp paste to try and patch an exhaust leak at the flange between midpipe and silencer. Not a pretty repair, but the midpipe flange is shot. Beats buying a new midpipe, provided that it works. |

Redone the alignment and rotated tyres after a year driving around in the manufacturer's stock setting.
Front negative camber from 0 degs to 2 degs, 1.5 on driver side to compensate for driver weight. No change to front toe (0 degs) Rear toe in from 0mm to 2mm. Camber left unchanged, at about -1.5 degs. Mid turns feel slightly stable in the rear now. With the VSC acting as the threshold I could take the same turn at the same speed without stability control kicking in. More driving to do in due time. |

Intake installed for decluttering engine bay and sound tube delete. So much more room! Are 17+ 6M intakes compatible with the zenki models that owners would want to buy for cheap? (I recall reading the Kouki 6M were revised to be as good as the TRD intake) |

Cabin noise has come down a lot. Don't get me wrong, this is still a loud car. However, with the sound tube gone it's mostly the exhaust behind you and exterior engine noise you'd be hearing while before with the sound tube, there was a bunch of noise that just flooded into the cabin.
Totally recommend the sound tube delete even if you don't plan on replacing your intake system! Last edited by saltywetman; 06-05-2020 at 02:58 AM. |
