I didn't realize it was you who was partnered with Will. I lived down the road from him for a few months!

Watched her leave.

Thanks FT86Club for being an excellent time waster for the past 8 years.

And the brilliant FR-S / 86 / BRZ platform playing a part in my life for 6 years and 134k memorable miles.

3 days, and nobody has done anything?!
Ok, I'll bite... cleaned mine and then a quick mini-hoon. I always have to fight the urge to do more, because buying PS4S isn't nearly as fun as driving on them

i drove mine. but i don't know that it counts as 'doing' something to most.

Finished the installation of my OEM oil temperature regulator. Car runs, no leaks or explosions so far.

Our bearings suck. What are your wheel and alignment specs? Or are you just putting a ton of heat into the brakes and cooking them? Sounds more like the latter, if you're tracking.

A 5x114.3 swap would beef up your failure point, since they have beefier bearings IIRC... or, since it's a probably a heat thing, maybe titanium brake shims and/or two-piece rotors, to keep heat from from cooking that grease into ineffectiveness. Two piece rotors would probably cost more than the 114.3 swap, but they sure would look cool and do a ton to reduce rotating/unsprung mass. I ran DBA 5k's on my spec B and loved them.

What route did you take with the hoses? Did you happen to take any pics during the install?

-3.2F, -2.2 rear and zero toe. Running BBK with two piece rotors already. Stock wheels on the street with 10mm spacers in the front to clear brakes. Track wheels are 17X9 +38. I don't get it, I am not doing anything different then anyone else.

I think it is a conspiracy by "big bearing" to make me spend more money on bearings so they can take my money and keep me down.

FT86SF or you can order them through the dealer. They also pop up on eBay. I bought mine from a member here.
