WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY?

[Overdrive]

Damn, man, that looks insane. Glad you're ok, the collapsed pillar kinda turned my blood cold.

[Impureclient]

Did that have anything to do with MPSS losing traction?

Last night I finished up my AC compressor prototype... Today I made some progress with the Alternator cover prototype...

These are pics of my custom aluminum A/C Compressor cover. I hate how difficult it would be to polish this part without removing it... since I don't plan on removing it anytime soon...I designed this cover. I plan on painting these covers Beatrush gold to break up the surrounding polished parts.







This is the other half of my project... I have made adjustments to the prototype you see in these pics so the final will be a bit different. I hope to have it completed and ready for paint tomorrow. I'm trying to have this project done for SPOCOM Dallas on the the 14th of October.

props to @stevesnj for advising I vent the Alternator cover...it sparked my 86 idea. 👍

Drove to the autoparts store and got supplies for an oil change and managed to catch a CEL on the way home. Back to the autozone tomorrow to get the code read

I'm gonna suggest you add the pulley cover to your compressor cover. Get rid of the ugly plastic and make it all 1 piece

[Impureclient]

I'm gonna suggest when making a reply comment to edit out the pictures when there are 20 large of them that don't need to be posted back again.
I'm gonna also suggest we not cross post a pile of pictures in different subforums every couple days, one is enough to get the idea.

I only saw one picture on my Tapatalk

I'm assuming the first part of your comment in this instance is aimed at all forum members... I could agree with it... maybe a link back to the pics along with the reply.

As per the second recommendation... I post stuff in different forums because not everyone that is subscribed to 'WHAT Did You Do To Your FR-S Today' are subscribed to my build thread, or to the Post Your Whiteout thread page, or the Post your Engine Bay Thread, etc.

Thanks for the input...Actually I have been thinking that and I'll probably give it a shot after SPOCOM... I'm running out of time to do all the little things things I wanted to get done by this weekend.

One seamless piece would definitely make for a smother transition.

If you can get it in time (still wouldn't be seamless) Cusco makes an aluminum cover that replaces that piece

I'm not attacking you Ashikabi, just making a suggestion just to be clear. There are so many times in here that a page is just a few people
asking a question or making a comment about one post that has a pile of massive pictures and it takes up a whole page just to get through it.
If it's Tapatalk for the reason this always happens then maybe the site needs to fix something and it's not anybody replying at fault for it.

And for Zeal, everybody knows about your car in here. Anybody interested knows you have it all documented on your build page. I look in there all the time at it, it's awesome.
But it gets really redundant since the general section just gets spammed with everything from "what size tires fit on 17x9 wheels" to some silly maintenance question that's been answered
1000 times to death. People seem to use the general section as a dump for when they want as many people to see what they post and are using the moderators time to sort it all out and move the post to where it belongs.

I didn't make a PM to either of you since this really something that everybody should be aware of. Maybe people don't even realize they are reposting the same pile of huge pictures when they reply as is evident here?
And I have a very fast internet question but when I click on a page with just pictures and it's loading like dial up then something needs to be "dialed" back. If they are posted at 6016x4016(24.2 megapixels),
they will load up that size then resize down as they take up a whole page. It just makes navigating the website tedious.

Installed an STI lip and Cusco catch can.
