New door checks from subaru - new parts number 61124CA001

Yes, my door stays open to wherever I open it to.

Really easy to swap the part too.

Been too lazy to update, but today I installed PIAA 85115 330/400 hz horns.

Had a windshield guy inspect my front windshield for chips because the tint shop said I had some chips that needed to be repaired. Turned out I didn't need to get them repaired. I'll get my 70% ceramic windshield tint installed next time I have a day off of work.

I got my rear window retinted (finger started appearing along a defrost wire) with ceramic tints for heat rejection.

Installed new woofers (Kicker PSC65), I picked it because it was the lowest frequency that had 2 ohm impedence at 6.5". I used scotch extreme mount double sided tape to attach it to Scosch SAT6 speaker adapters.

I put on the red stitched padded door speaker trims, but didn't realize I needed to order the speaker grill because the 2013 was one single piece of plastic. So waiting for the grill to come in. I messed up with either the mounting or the wiring, there's some rattle coming out of the passenger's woofer above 85% max volume.

I got my Yonaka catback installed about 2 weeks ago. Really liking these, adds the missing grunt without getting me in trouble. Seems to be mostly in the 80 db's, even up to redline. Which I kind of need seeing how often I hit redline to scoot this slow car around.

Swapped out the slave cylinder for the Impreza/Forester unit.

It added pedal weight which is expected but so far the feel is subjectively a bit better.
I have the Mtec assist spring I bet stock spring with this would be perfect.

Found a set of 6K springs for my HKS coilovers to replace the rear 4K springs and got them installed.

Had also swapped the shifter springs to GKTech ones, where the company is based in Australia. MTECs would have been prohibitively expensive for the price and shipping to the other side of the world where I live, and MTEC wasn't willing to divulge on their shifter spring rates to estimate the additional stiffness. GKTechs, from them are approximately 25% stiffer over the stock springs.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?


Track day at Thunderhill; the Fortune Autos are definitely better than the Flex Zs I had prior. I believe I have the height and dampening settings the way I want it now. Next thing on my list is an AP Racing or Stoptech BBK.
