How was that process? That's about the last Scion branding to remove from mine.

Rolling two days into one.



Found a place in town that only works on NA spec cars (or LS swaps), but they had a dyno so I figured why not see what WHP I'm making after 6 months?



Not too bad. Basically stock, apart from the TRD Exhaust, Air Filter, and Lightweight Pulleys.

Now for today. I took the FR-S back up that Granite Road drive, but this time with a friend:






Luckily we both enjoyed the drive so much that we took it all the way up through Woody, CA, the Sequoias, and then through Lake Isabella and back down to town via the Kern Canyon run. Took around 3 hours and a half tank of gas, but we both loved the drive and the car.





I really want to save up for that GoPro and audio recorder now. Y'all need to see how fun this drive is!

I tried it with non acetone nail polish remover and unlike a lot of people it ate the plastic and left it a little faded/ used looking. So I proceeded with steel wool and some detailing spray to do a "wet sanding" kind of cleaning and it came out really good much to my surprise.

I would recommend the nail polish and taking it really slow with little to no pressure.
I think pushing on it was my mistake also I didn't use the one recommended in the diy it was some my fiancé had laying around.

Installed the Eibach Pro-Kits last night and drove it to work this morning. Looks so much better without the 4x4 gap and rides noticeably similar to stock.

Just installed my dome board light yesterday and noticed it stays lowly lit on when I leave it in "door" mode. Anyone know if this is normal?



This is when I turn it on

Spun out while getting onto a freeway onramp. Luckily no damage to my baby and the roads were completely empty. Guess I'm not ready for wet road hooning with my nannies off. I managed to mostly recover from the spin and wind up still pointing in the right direction, so that's a bit comforting.

And now I get to have adrenaline keeping me awake at 2:30 in the morning!
