Honey, I Shrunk the 86!

Was at the dealer to replace a stolen valve stem cap (I know, right?) and this was $10.

I have a lot of experience with miniature modeling and painting, and access to a 3d printer as of this week, so I'm going to make it into my car, in miniature. Decals, body kit, interior. Very excited, personally. I like dumb side projects.

$4.99 at CVS stores!
My main winter hobby is plastic modeling (built in front of computer which is one reason why I seem to always be here) and although I mostly do military I have the FRS kit and will be starting it as soon as I can get some Lava paint. Will post build on Off Topic Lounge.
I can scan the instructions and send them to you if it will help for your project. Just PM if you want them.

Getting fueled up, just hit 4K miles!

Not a bad birthday at all...

I still don't know how to feel about those taillights. I love them.. but they disgust me. I've never felt this way before.

I really like them. I know they're a love-hate thing with many people on the forums here, but I love them and really couldn't be happier

Every time I see them all I can think of is this:

So they are kind of ruined for me at some deep psychological level!

Holy hell.. now I know why they disgust me.. and knowing is half the battle.

Got my car back and I am super impressed with the install. Looks and feels great! Going to post more pictures and videos in my build journal when I have time.

Haha. I know a lot of people find them gaudy, but my love of them outweighed my good sense

Alright, the last and final set of birthday modding took place today.

Non Stop Tuning lightweight pulleys for the crank, alternator, and water pump.

It got slightly scuffed up during install, but they work perfectly. NST says that the weight reduction on the pulleys should grant around 5 or so HP, but I don't have a dyno to prove it. However, it does pull a bit quicker, and it seems to balance out the slightly larger wheels and tires nicely. I mainly got them to reduce the strain on things due to the reduced weight.

My only issue is that these pulleys don't work at all with the pulley removal tool I bought for the OEM ones. It made the install take much longer than the removal on my AT, as I couldn't just put it in 6th like the MT. Still a great value though.

Winjet Headlights, with Morimoto HID install from FTEightySix. I really disliked the US spec headlights, and I absolutely love these. The HIDs are perfect too, and FTEightySix made it purely plug and play for me, saving an hour or two.

Afterwards, a shower and a beer and I'm still smiling. It's been a great weekend and I think I'm pretty dang content with the cosmetics of my FR-S now
