Bought my winters already. Just waiting to put em on when it gets a little colder.

Hi guys,
Been lurking for a while but figured I should say something. Met a couple of guys with FRS's that I assume are on here..not sure of usernames. Got a 6mt asphalt FRS coming in January for me, so look forward to heading to some meets. Asked the dealer to not drill holes in the bumper for me to save that...any other tips to mention before it comes in???

Got some winters as well; they're just sitting in the garage waiting for the snow.

Do you garage your car or do you park it outside at home?

I'm thinking of going with the Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D, lots of guys on the forum have been recommending them. We don't usually get that much snow so I think a performance winter would be best.

I think I will try and get them this week sometime.

I would also ask them not to wash the car or remove the protective white shipping film. Then call Ken at www.autowerkesexclusivestore.ca and ask him to detail and Opti-Coat your car.

Also check under your car for the rubber gaskets and see if they are inserted . There's a post about them but I can't find the link right now.

lavisxice · 10-25-2012, 10:38 PM

Jester · 10-26-2012, 02:57 AM

Any recommendations for a reasonable OptiCoat job in Vancouver?
Expecting to receive my black FR-S at the end of next month!

Will be my DD so I want to get it coated asap with all the salt and crap all over the roads we have in fall.

Just install my Gerneral Arctic with sparco wheel, pretty slippery compare to factory tire. Just change my transmission fluid too! Big improvement! Very smooth all gear especially 2nd gear.
