In the last week, I have done lots of things to my 2015 FR-S and 2020 Hakone Edition 86.
While it is extremely unlikely I will get many miles on it this year, at least I will be ready for winter! And for the first time in over 20 years, we have only 2 cars (2018 RAV4 Hybrid, 2020 Hakone 86), so both will get to live in the garage! |

Primer is great for parts that are not plastic. Adhesion promoter is great for plastic parts. I used automotive clear coat. You can get EVERYTHING you need here. I also bought a few cans of D6S paint. I have touched up several things with it. It matches perfectly. https://www.automotivetouchup.com/

Painting engine parts gold brings to mind a waaay back in the day story.
When I was 15, I painted several engine parts (valve cover, air cleaner, stuff like that) of my 1948 Chevrolet, gold. I even painted the circular access door to the front of the radiator (silver in the picture). I then wrote my GF initials (KH, for Kathy Hart) in white paint on the access door. The next year, when I was 16, my new GF (Kathy Harvey - KH) wanted to see the mill in my car (that's a lie - she didn't want to see it, I just wanted to show it off). As I raised the hood, I had this sinking feeling about the initials that I had inscribed on my engine part. Then, it dawned on me that the initials were the same (KH). What a relief! OK, OK, leave me be - it's an exceptionally slow day here in Puyallup - |

I ventured out during our current pandemic ‘Stay At Home’ to pick up my vehicle license plates. Essential right!
While any trip in my venturing forth in my baby is deemed essential by me others (the law) might object. I'm Bonafide now! |

Got my wireless steering control installed on my 86 a few days back. Plenty of time to get all of this done since my country had already went into lockdown due to COVID-19 two weeks ago.
Not too difficult, just had to patch 3 wires from the module to the head unit and power from the accessory. The buttons were then placed at the plaque area below the traction control buttons. Then a buddy gave a great idea - 3D print out a plaque piece which would slot the two buttons in. Got the STL file from Thingiverse (thanks michaelxchristopher) and another friend made the necessary alterations to the design (thanks kev). Got it printed, did some additional fitting work with some sandpaper, finished the surfaces off with some trim protectant and it looks pretty good now. |

Yes. It is actually more significant than I thought it would be.

Better or worse? Not having spent a lot of time before I got my green baby (hmn wonder if there should be an epoch marker for life before & after). Anyway, haven driven a good friend's 2017 BRZ with 18" wheels, I really feel like some future upgrade for me will be at least 18s in the rear. |
