Very nice! I want to hear the exhaust on this beast.

Exhaust sounds stock.... because it is stock. Think stock WRX sound. That is what it sounds like.

Well, like you said, it's a good thing it wasn't the MR. People in big vehicles just don't see our low cars, and women specifically it seems. I've almost been backed into tons of times when trying to leave parkinglots by big dumb trucks that have no purpose in the city, but rather look to be better at home on a FARM.
My paint chipping on the front bumper is from a dumb asshat who backed into me and then took off, spiderwebbing the paint. I was too shocked to look at the plate and just accepted the fact that it would eventually peel, which it is.
Good luck dude. It hurts to see one of my dream cars get "run over" so early.
I was in Enumclaw at the time, which is a farm town.
Nothing but giant trucks.
This whole story makes sense now! You were in enumclaw, no wonder! If its not the lifted trucks, its the cops camping on the 20mph highway zones.

There isn't a single place in this town outside of school zones that are 20 MPH zones.

School zone runs through the middle of town though, and then its goes to what, 25 I think?

Ummm. No? Downtown is 25 but it isn't a highway at all. The highways (410 and 169) don't have school zones on them.

Nice, I totally missed that in your post. Those are some very respectable gains. How does it feel compared to stock? I've still got to go drive an FR-S. I've got a free test drive waiting for me at the local dealership, even though the salesman knows I have no intentions of buying one, nor can I afford one. I need to take him up on that.

I love the lines of the FRS,the only reason ill never own one is its lack of power. Maybe in a few years when the price comes down ill get one. then ill just build the engine to take BOOST!!!

I don't think they are. They (FHI) are getting major kickbacks from the Japanese government for making more eco friendly cars, I've been told by numerous credible sources that there will never be a factory turbo BRZ/FRS/86.

There are turbo kits out there for the BRZ/FRS that make decent amount of power. But that defeats the sole purpose of this car. I really like the way it drives already so Im probably going to buy coilovers and a set of wheels and it should be good to go (DD).

I heard that they were for the Subaru model, but not the Toyota/Scion model. Then again that was a few months ago, so who knows. Screw the environment, need more power.

i absolutly love that color!
really dig the lines of that car, especially from the b-pillar back.
for some reason, the nose dont really do much for me, but that azzzz....lol
anyhoo, nice work on the turbo setup, thats more like what it should have come with from the factory, IMHO.

how's the car man, updates?

Not much for updates. I had the overpipe and front pipe (the sections from the turbo to the catback... essentially the downpipe) replaced so it is now fully catless. Stinky, but awesome.
As of late it seems like the ECU is dying though. Sometimes when I turn the key over it doesn't start immediately, like the ECU is not ready. It starts throwing a Uxxxx CEL for Network error. And it has been throwing a P000B CEL for months (even pre-turbo) that I have just started clearing every time it comes up.
It is actually going to the dealer today to have that looked at.

Who wants to bet they're going to say you broke something by installing a turbo?
2001 Miata LS 5-speed
They won't. There is a full blown recall campaign for the ECU. They're replacing it now.

what ecus are being recalled. man, my car has barely 3000 miles, and no bleeps so far..
Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.
Not sure which ones are being recalled. You can call your dealer and ask if you're included.
Got the car back, reflashed my tune onto it, and back to driving it.
I did change my oil on Saturday with 0W-40, rather than the 0W-20 it calls for. Seems a bit smoother. IDK.
Tomorrow is 86 day!

Unlike most cars the stock wheels look nice though.

I see SIR......that you have prius tires......
Well wheels and tires were on the list, but I had to fork over $1900 today due to my dog eating a shoe and some of it was stuck in his small intestine. Vet had to open him up and remove it.
Priorities. Dog comes first.
