i worked on my friends car today:
SCION iA not frs related but figured i talk about it for a minute because im bored now. he asked if i could change his brakes for him. i have my car friends group, but then i have my normie friends group and to all them im the "car guy." after looking at the iA, i was surprised to see a drum brake in the rear, thats how economy they are. if you think the frs is economy, you dont know haha. having never taken apart a drum brake, and doing all the springs and such, i didnt want to learn on his car, i didnt feel comfortable/safe with that. so i pad slapped his fronts for him.

My favorite shots from an early morning canyon drive. Had a great time and love the car.

This morning I found out that when the range counter goes under 1, you get dashes. And that you still have ~1.5gal of gas left, so don't freak out.

Took this chunk of metal out of the engine bay and replaced it with a sexy Verus bracket. Planning to do the passenger side ECU rail in a few days after getting some gold DEI tape for the cyl 1 coilpack.

Took out the passenger side DI injector bracket. Not as heavy as the driver side one but still surprisingly heavy.
Also added some gold ricer bling to the engine bay Hoping the combination of the slimmer bracket and gold DEI wrap will keep that cylinder 1 coilpack cooler during track days and hard canyon runs. Happy New Years everyone. My resolution is to stop getting P0351’s lol.

The redecorating continues. This is my first real attempt at doing a car interior. I bought a almost complete interior a couple of years back and am just getting to this project now. My original interior is bagged and tagged. Let's start with something simple.

Prepping the trans tunnel. The donor had a bit of a fire. The trans tunnel was melted a bit at the back and I'm filling in the coin holder thingy. Filler for plastic was used not regular putty. It remains flexible yet extremely hard. This piece could take a bit to get right.

Cut large holes in the hood. Got it aligned. Considered changing the oil then decided I didn't care and left it in the trailer. Team lazy ftw.

Trans tunnel half covered in vinyl. It's a very slow process. At least for me...That's the skeleton of the arm rest on top.

Polished up the rough headlights. Meguier's kit worked well as far as I'm concerned.

How do you intend to protect the headlights from UV fade now that they've been polished?
