Cool. I've been meaning to schedule another "tech day" soon. I could make it Sunday the 29th. It's after Christmas and I'm sure people will have parts to install.

Thoughts???

Tech day sounds awesome, but unfortunately I will be out of town for a month from the end of December to the end of January. Is there anyway you could help me install the coilovers before then? Or if you know someone else who has experience in installing coilovers?

Heading there now. Save me a slot. I'm a bit bushed from today.


Oh, and everyone ask @Ninjin if his headers are on the mend (I tease, I tease)

It's not.
The FRS headlights are slightly "longer" and if you swap from a BRZ to an FRS front bumper, you'll have a little hole at the inner corners of the headlights. If you take a look at your bumper now you'll see a little divot at the inner corners where there would be headlight on the FRS.

Looking from the pictures it does not seem to have a hole;

It's not a large hole, but there's definitely going to be a gap. In the pictures, it's difficult to see, but the hole or gap is that black spot at the inner corners.

But, I could be totally wrong. It may be worth trying just to find out.

Let me know whenever you guys are able to work on the car. I'll most likely be free any day of the week.
