WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?

[HappyMonkey]

I had Yokohama AD08 R tires installed and did my first transmission and differential oil change.

On a related note, I also spilled a ton of old transmission oil on my garage floor.

[zeal86]

After getting a late start to the day I almost completed what I set out to complete. I had a slight set back as I decided to re-sand and polish my fuel rail brackets...2nd time around turned out much better but took up several hours of my day.

And then I began my '17 intake manifold and fuel rail installs. I had some issues taking off some hoses and a few other workarounds but I got the manifold installed. I just have to transfer over the fuel dampers and injectors to the Velox rails and install them. Then I'll go back and verify the install...

I may get to finish it tomorrow... we'll see...

Pics coming soon...

That's what that aluminum pan you cooked the turkey in last year is for ....

Back-in-my-day the old oil was just drained into the gravel driveway ....... oh, shut up, environmentalists, where in the hell did you think the oil came from in the first place .....

Got the TRD Air Intake and TRD Exhaust installed. In case anyone is wondering about how it sounds, it's plenty louder than the stock exhaust (at least for me since this is is the first car I have modified the exhaust on).

So I got everything installed this morning but the fuel rail brackets... I need to bring my crow's feet from work tomorrow so I can torque the AN fittings. Can't wait to have these installs 100% complete!

Thanks! I love the look of the '17 red intake manifold...it really looks awesome with my hood up because of the simultaneous view of my interior (red Brides)!









Stripped and polished Velox fuel rail bracket... previously was anodized red. The fuel rails will reflect off these nicely!

Always a work in progress... I'm about done with basically the major mods... I will probably drive it more... but only on the best of days!

Down the line I hope to get a clutch and flywheel combo though...

Good lad. Earned your pocket money.

Here's the rundown:


Order Subaru part #H701SCA000 RED or H701SCA100 BLUE



Plug: Order them from Reeves Subaru Parts Online $132.56 free shipping over $100. The best you'll do is $4 cheaper but everybody charges about $14 extra for shipping.


Kit consists of two LED small oval pods (with double sided tape) that connect to a jumper, six foam adhesive squares, four small screws to screw down the pods to the mounting points under the dashboard.


You're supposed to disconnect the battery to prevent short circuits


1. Remove trim piece around head unit (I used a flat head with the tip covered in masking tape to prevent scratching.
2. Remove head unit -it's held in place by four 10mm bolts the top two are easy to reach but the bottom two are recessed about an inch (they can fall down).
3. Pull out head unit carefully (not much slack) and 5-6 (depending if you have navi) connectors must be squeezed and pulled out.
4. Locate wiring harness that goes to the alarm clock/hazard light button assembly then disconnect it.
5. Plug in the jumper between the alarm clock/hazard light button panel and the harness from step 4 and route the two long wires down behind the console on either side.
6. Wire tie the cables behind the radio, wrap the foam adhesive around the connection between the wiring hardness and light kit's jumper (you don't want that rattling around).
7. Plug the lights' connectors to the cables and wrap them with adhesive too.
8. Peel the tape from the pods and stick them under the bottom edge of the dashboard (clean the area with alcohol first!) and use the included screws to permanently secure them.
9. Tidy up your slack wire and wire tires, reconnect your headunit's connections (remember not much slack back there -small hands would be helpful and keep in mind your metal headunit can scratch the crap out of your plastic interior).
10. Put headunit back in, bolt it down, reconnect the car battery then turn on headlights. If all is well they will light up and you can put the headunit trim back on.


If not is all well make sure your connections are tight, headlights turned on, fuses ok, and battery is reconnected. All connectors only fit in one direction and they're different sizes <-this is so easy I can't picture anybody screwing it up.




Here are the official directions:

If you need pics of the placement of the LEDs tell me (thankfully the instructions included measurements because the drawings were so-so).

One more thing: I noticed this recently-


This wiring harness diverts power from the radio's backlight to the footwell LEDs. I'll double check the wires but it looks like you will loose night time button illumination on your radio in favor of the footwell lights. Not a big especially if you have an aftermarket headunit that's all screen and no buttons.
