Never seen or heard of one until now. Looks great man! How much was the one you got? I just googled V3 P3 that was ~$350. A bit outta my budget lol

What're you tracking specifically, or what would you recommend for a 2013 w/97k miles?

I got the plug in play one which uses ob2 port. Snice I track my car and I am boosted I monitor afr, coolant and oil temps at the track. For daily driving it's not needed. It's a 10 min install looks very OEM!

Try it with an app called torque. It will not mess up your car at all

none of these monitors linked so far will mess up the car in any way. they are monitors only. not modification devices.

Thats good to know! Im new to the car game, so I dont know much about what I can mess with or mess up internally haha

I picked the car up at a dealer in San Antonio, and didnt have any information on non-stock stuff that the previous owner mightve done to the car. So i don't know if it's tuned or not, or where to take it to check. It has a decent exhaust sound - but i dont know how or why it does. It might be straight-piped from what I saw under the car when i installed my 3rd brake...

Thanks again for the info!

Hey, I actually did something to my 2013 FR-S today, actually last week. It has the original battery in it and I have noticed it was starting to be not so perky when starting the car. So, since most of my trips are less than 6 miles, at least once per day, I thought the battery was getting weak, although it tested 12+ volts.

So, I put it on my charger for about a half a day and it has perked it up nicely and has lasted all week.

Works sort of like Viagra - if you ain't too far gone.

Sounds like you need a fancy high output alternator to make up for the short trips. Better get Bubba a case of beer on your next trip
