I've been looking at this but it seems pretty pricey. Was it fairly easy to get used to the new pedal position?

Sooo.. I'm not exactly disciplined either...
OK, good upgrade on your garage ..... so far ...... now, when does it get a new roof ... ??

Had the TRD quick shift kit installed at my dealer. A big difference. What I did not post earlier was, when I got to the dealer they had two 860's in Halo White on thel lot. My mind started racing, what if I trad my car in. And have the switch my exhaust and my springs plus my head unit over to an 860? Well that all came to a hault when I realized that they were both automatics! My sales guy was there an said they have only had one 860 stick out of 6 so far.

You can replace the pedal itself with a wider one. Got one (forgot brand) from ft86sf for 35$. Now I can heel-toe

Did a standard oil change, spilled oil on the driveway while using my new ramps . Some dummy at the autoparts store gave me the wrong air filter, after 30+ mins wrestling with it I realize it's not the right size and won't sit right. I always forget to pull off that whole front intake to properly fit the filter in flush. Next time will be the time I remember, I hope. I dropped my oil cap into the engine bay :p had to fish it out and clean it off. I also spilled some coolant all over the front bumper, it's one of those days.

Sorry about the oil change drama.

I can't use my RhinoGear ramps with FR-S. Bumper touches the ramp before the tires. I have scratched the bottom of bumper trying to use those ramps. What ramps are you using?

I'm using https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm a slender dude so I can get fully under the car with these ramps but only just so.

Problem is the oil pan is so tall I can't loosen the drain plug because my hand won't fit so I had to use this bowl thing and then pull the pan over quickly...., as you can imagine this created a big mess.

I have to use low ramps to get a jack under it. Y'all should be using Fumoto valves to help with the oil plug problems and whatnot

I am just afraid those valves will be dripping oil after a while.

Also ordered my reverse, licence plate, and dome lights.

Shouldn't, they are all metal and don't get opened very often. It's up to you though
