Added an alcantara gauge cluster hood from JPM coachworks. Doesn’t really serve any purpose but I love the look haha.

Finally got around to painting my wheel trim black. That about finishes off the interior stuff I wanted to do.

Well, it's spring, so I ordered some spring things. Shifter springs, clutch spring, RCE Yellows and B6 kit... Oh and steering rack bushings and oil change kit.

I'm getting the 3M protective film installed, Spyder Vision tint on the headlights and reverse light cluster (perforated black vinyl - looks dark during the day but lets all the light out), debadging the FR-S badge and swapping the Scion badges for Toyota ones. bitlife pc jiofi.local.html

Swapped in the MTEC clutch spring tonight. That was a surprising PITA for something that looked so simple! Pleased with the result, though. Pedal feels like it should have all along, and somehow the throw feels shorter?

The next step is to install the shift spring kit. These springs really improve the shifter feel. |

Being able to drive to FT86MS and buy in stock parts is bad for my wallet
Edit agreed about the mtec clutch spring. That was the first mod I did. I ordered it before I took delivery. |

I wouldn't feel comfortable running anything more than 3mm on the stock studs. Oh and I installed both the trans bushing and shift springs. Springs were a lot easier than I've read. I used a wire brush on a drill to clean the threads when I took the bolts out and they went back in with no issues. Last edited by RToyo86; 04-23-2021 at 10:38 PM. |

Frustrating day in the garage because I'm a dumdum. Changed the oil (nbd), installed the shifter springs (bit fiddly to get the big bolt started without cross-threading, but still nbd), and installed the Cusco trans collar brace (instructions in Japanese but they were hardly necessary; surprising number of bolts though; still nbd).
I left the steering rack bushings for last, figuring they'd be easiest. Nope. I neglected to buy a puller or Cusco's own removal/install tool, figuring I could just MacGyver something with what I had laying around in the garage. That sort of worked... Big C clamp, some PVC, and a deep well socket to push against, and I got the OEM bushings out after much grunting and cursing. But then on the install, I managed to cock the metal sleeve slightly sideways while pressing it in with the C clamp, and ruined the inboard bushings. So now I get to order a new kit plus the tool. Damn rookie mistake. Question though, does anybody recommend a little bit of grease to help ease the install of those bushings, or nah? |
