Considering the rarity of TRD CF Fins I'd say that's quite a steal and what I'd definitely pay for them. Awesome find.

Kind of a funny story.
There's only 1 E85 pump in my state. Not one station, one pump within the station (one on each side of the unit), but one of the sides pumps so slowly, it takes about 5 minutes to fill up. So I go there to fill up and a guy in a pickup truck is using the good side. I park in the bad side and decide to just wait for him to finish. He does, then proceeds to drive about 4 feet and then just stops. Half way in the bay, half way out. A good few minutes go by and now my pride is in question. I can't fill up at the bad bay, I just wasted all that time as it is, and he isn't moving. So I decide to be a passive aggressive douche, and flip an aggressive 180 (cause I accidentally parked the wrong direction for where the gas cap is), and park in the bad bay, and walk to his side and take the good pump and start filling the car. He sticks his head out and says something like "you got a problem?" I return with "no, this is the only good pump. the other one is slow as hell". Then he says "oh, i'll get it fixed." This confuses me so I inquire if he knows the owner and he says "no, I'm the owner. This is my gas station". He was sitting there cause some idiot (see: me) parked in his station and wasn't doing anything and it sketched him out. So hooray, I pissed off the only provider of E85 in my state. /story. |

Neat story ya told there.
Sometimes ya just never know. Sorry, reminds me of a back-in-the-day story. It was a hot day in June, in California, when I went down to survey a 130 acre piece of property that my company had just purchased to develop into an agricultural research station. In a group of migrant houses on the property, there was this old beat-up pickup truck and some dude in dirty, torn bib-overalls. He was tearing the indoor-outdoor carpeting (which looked new) out of the migrant shacks. I approached him, introduced myself as a representative of the company that now owns this property. He said that he had just installed the carpeting a week ago and figured that the new owner wouldn't mind if he took it. I asked him his name and he said it was Nick Tikvica. The name rang a bell as the person that we had bought the property from for the sum if 1.3 million dollars (which in 1968 was a tidy sum of money). I told him that he could have it. https://www.mercurynews.com/2012/01/...-in-sunnyvale/ Right then in there, that made me a believer that you just "can't judge a book by it's cover", especially in California - THE END |

I booked mine in for it’s 60,000km service.
I think this is the last subsidised one, which means it’s also the last to be done by the dealer. |

I checked the odometer the other day and it said 174,000 miles. Wow, that's alot I thought. Maybe i should do some maintenance. So I bought a new serpentine belt. Went to install it and had second thoughts. There's really absolutely nothing wrong with the old one. Looks good, doesn't make any noise, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
To replace it looks pretty simple. Remove four 10mm screws from the alternator and the AC covers, then loosen the tensioner and thread in the new belt. Should take about 5 minutes. So. I put the new belt with a 10mm and 14mm wrench under the "back seat" along with the OFT. Along with a routing diagram for the belt. If or when it breaks, then I will fix it. I've only had one serpentine belt break on me and it was not that big of a deal. I was driving an RX-7 at the time down a back road almost home. Looked in the rear view mirror and I was billowing smoke. WTF? Then all of the idiot lights came on and the smoke stopped. The car was still running so I continued home. Opened the hood and what happened was the idler pully seized and melted the belt. Gave it some WD 40 and a new belt and was good as new. Now if it was a timing belt, well that's a completely different matter. I've had two of those break in my time. First was on a CRX Si. The car quit running at a traffic light and turned out it was the timing belt. It did no damage at all. Just had to replace the belt. The second time (I never learn) on a GTI. Bent 19 of 20 valves. That's one of my favorite things about this engine. I doesn't have a fukn rubber band keeping the engine from self destructing. |

I had that exact same thing happen in an LS400. Idle pully seized while driving and ate the belt. Had to run on battery to a parts shop and swapped it out in the lot. I don't know much of anything about this FRS yet. |

Got my tire replaced. 2,600 miles and got a fat nail right next to the sidewall on the driver side rear. So I had to spend over $200 on one of these stupid OEM tires lol.
Luckily, I was able to get a manufacture refund of $105 from Michelin, so it really only cost me about $120 shipped installed everything said and done. Idk why these things cost more than 265 width Michelin P4S
