Master cylinder brace made big difference in oak feel back when I got mine. Highly recommended for any kind of spirited driving/hard braking

With both the underbody braces and MC brace, the difference is noticeable during spirited/hard driving. Handling feels tighter and more responsive; brake pedal feels nice and firm.

Driving gently around town, you won't really notice them.

I actually have an MC brace and that's exactly how I feel about it. Good to know out butt/foot feel is approximately the same.

Now about these underbody braces...

Brought home 20 gal of E85 (closest station is 100+ miles away) on the way home from a trip. Gives an extra 50whp vs my 93oct tune on the FR-S I recently got. Going to spoil myself with some backroads cruising this weekend. I need to write someone in Alabama and tell them that some of us need E85!

The LED side marker bulbs I got with my clear side markers started to flicker after 6 years so I replaced them with VLED ones. The VLED ones are nice and bright. The build quality on the bulbs is just ok, but they seem to function well and have a 3 year warranty so I’m happy. To be safe I also sealed the side marker with silicon in case they were letting moisture in.

Not gonna do much cruising with 20 gallons! Keep in mind you will use up to a possible 30% more of it to go the same distance.

More than 30%. I get 14 mpg when I burn e85.

- swapped from DAMD leather to Prova Alcantara steering wheel
- installed Beatrush master cylinder brace
- installed TRD underbody braces

What are these steering wheels and how expensive??! They look awesome. I really like the stock Lotus type steering wheel, but mine feels a little slick, the PO really rubbed it a lot apparently.

Alcantara wheel made by Prova.

I bought mine used locally. Their site and most retailers indicate they're discontinued, but Japan Parts still has it on their site, so maybe they have some left? They're definitely kinda pricey when new...

Put on the OEM mudflap kit and some Drambeenie risers. I like how the latter look, but I don't think I got the fit quite right or something.

Still takes some persuading to go into 1st and 2nd for the first few miles. Then it's quite nice, though. Hardly something to keep me up at night at this point, but we'll see how it does when we get a real cold snap in a month or so.

i mean ive driven with the motul at -35c it isnt much worse than at freezing

he is using a blend is my guess. I normally use 5-6 gals per fill up of e85 to keep and e45-55 range.

Installed my VEMS wideband gauge! I pinned the connector after routing it along the firewall for a clean install.
The gauge has a separate input for EGT, boost, boost control, etc. I may try to configure it for oil pressure, we'll see.

True, but so worth it. Not a daily, so it is easy to prioritize fun drives in it vs. using it to just get from point A to B. Don’t get me wrong, 93 is great fun in this car as well. In fact, can’t think of a time I did not enjoy driving it.
