So usually UPS drops off in my neighborhood between 6-8PM, meaning I expected to receive the rear sway bar yesterday and install it today. Luckily, UPS showed up around noon yesterday so I got the sway bar in (as well as the MXP catback). Great timing since as soon as I got the car back on the ground the sky opened up.
Took it for a quick drive to the store this morning, and I'm 99% sure the previous owner had a similar drop on it before it was traded in. The alignment was kind of funky before, but now it tracks straight and the steering wheel is no longer canted. |

Because racecar Flat under panels from Verus and I already had the OEM JDM under panels. Turned out really good. Now just need Front Splitter and rear wing.

Gave it some exercise to a local dam today. Played about with the camera settings.

Swapped in a AGM battery. I knew the old one was on its last leg but damn.. it practically fired up on the first half crank after install
Then gave it a bath and snapped a pic as it starts raining. |

My driver's door lock actuator has been on its way out for a few months now, getting worse daily. I was having to manually lock and unlock the door just to ensure that it was secure. I'm surprised it didn't even last 5 years. The passenger one never had a problem but would occasionally make a strangled puppy noise during actuation. So, like almost anything you've got pairs of on here, I bought replacement parts for both and a buddy helped me install them (did the real work, really), made it look like child's play. Had a while-we're-in-there moment and put in my black door opening handles since the door panel was off. Installed the center console and steering wheel black trim pieces too since we were on a roll, so now I've got working door locks and as blacked out an interior as I can get with OEM pieces.

I finally got around to installing a cover for my steering wheel which has been peeling for a few years now. I went with a Loncky cover. It took several hours to sew it on. I didn't do a perfect job, but it's an improvement.
I also replaced the faux carbon fiber two-piece dash trim with the BRZ single-piece leatherette with red stitching. I wish it was suede with red stitching, but it's still a lot better. |
