Except the missing factory strut bars, and that oil cooler line needs to be rotated down. But yes it is nice and clean looking.

No, when I bought the car they were missing, haven't replaced them yet! I have been looking for a good price for some used, but they never come up

Yeah the lines Mishimoto sent me were a little too tight, so I went with this setup until I can get a couple new lines and AN fittings to replace these for better fitment.

You can shorten that line yourself. It is not hard PM me I can walk you thru it.

I agree with the guy below. I dunno what style fitting mishimoto is using but if it doesn't use an olive (like a normal compression fitting) then you can just remove the hose end, cut the hose, and reinstall

I could, but I'm re-doing the lines when I put the turbo in anyway, I think I'm going to move the oil cooler a bit. I'm just thankful it doesn't leak and I'd like to leave it that way until I make my changes

Thanks to @Ashikabi I'll have strut braces soon too! Now I can stop saying I've removed them for ice racing, weight reduction, etc

Washed and oiled my VERY dirty TRD intake air filter, as it has been long overdue. Noticed a nice improvement in induction noise, exhaust noise, and throttle response.

Good show.

Thanks for the reminder, I should do that someday, it's been about 3 years now.

I do believe that I have some coal oil and 30 weight, non-detergent oil around here some where.

Oh, screw the MAF, if it can't take a joke!

1. White Vinegar. My wife keeps a gallon to add to the wash or use as a natural cleaner. Soaked a hand towel and started rubbing...cleaned with water and still see the same pattern. No improvement

2. Dawn Dish soap. Rinsed the hand towel...liberal amount of liquid soap...rub in circles...horizontal strokes...vertical strokes...rinse....ugh...

3. Really frustrated at this point...so I go with the brillo pad...Wet the glass and start to do circles...this feels promising...as I work to new areas the pad grabs on the first stroke and the following stroke feels easier...once the entire area has been worked I rinse and dry...pattern is still there but maybe...just maybe faded.

Cleaned windshield wiper blades

I give up. Waiting til my next early morning dew-commute to see if it has improved...on to the high beam bulb modification.

Last week I modified the low beams using a H11 bulb...It is noticeably better...at the time there was only one 9011 bulb for the high beam mod...so I put it off til I found two...different Autozone and $50 later I pull out a hack saw blade and needle nose pliers...compare existing bulb to new one and see I have to remove a heavy 1/8 of top tab. Make cut with hack saw (holding blade in my hand) and break away the waste with needle nose pliers. They install without issue.

Night comes...grab a 32oz cup of water...splash on the FR-S windshield...hit the windshield wipers and pray...promising results blades seem to cut the moisture...I'll have to wait til the morning dew point is close to the actual temperature to see if there is improvement.

Head to the country two lanes to get away from street lights...hit the high beams...I'm pleased with the improvement of the bulb swap-mod compared to stock...Easy no pulling off the front clip to remove headlight buckets and putting them in the oven etc. etc.
