WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 961 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I added a stick-on 50mm rotatable blindspot mirror each side. They can be set to look down along the side of the car, independent of where the rest of the mirror looks. I chose the extreme outside edge and as low as possible position as fine. At the same time I resolved not to drive in to parks but rather reverse in when angle parking.

Yes I'm spatially challenged.

Removed my tails and cleaned out 3 years of blecch. Don't see a difference

...but I know.

Since I had my stock over pipe out to fix a stripped stud... I went ahead and polished it...

Before

After

Stock over pipe matches all my other exhaust components now!

New studs... 10mm x 1.25tp x 40.5mm

See the rest of the pics in my build thread. Link located in my sig.

Just got an alignment and installed new tires. Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+.

Compared to the stock tires, these are much better in grip. Not sure how it compares to the MPSS but when I asked for MPSS they said they are phasing those out. There is slightly less road noise. They ride comfortably over the bumps and uneven road.

These are brand new to the Pilot Family for Michelin. Pretty excited!!

I got these for $692 installed with alignment. I think that was a pretty good deal.

Really? That's quite surprising, considering how well they're doing! Who did you ask?

Curious to know how those new ones hold up, though!

I asked Longo Toyota and they told me they were phasing them out. Yeah I'm curious too. There aren't many reviews for them.

It's true but don't worry. The replacement is going to be off the hook.

Longo Toyota, more like lying liars Toyota. Michelin isn't phasing out one of the best Summer performance tires made.
There's nothing on the Michelin site that says anything about that nor does Google have anything. Pretty sure in tests with them both the Super Sport comes out ahead.
