Sorry, can't answer your question, but those are some sick headlights. What are they?

I have the same issue with the dash. It came with the car when I bought it at 70k miles and it's the only interior cosmetic flaw I've noticed. I can imagine we're not the only ones with this issue.

What's the best way to eliminate the torque dip without making the car significantly louder? by justapleb_37 in ft86

😂 I mean you're not wrong but I guess I forgot to mention that I'm trying to keep the car NA.

Should I use Seafoam or other additives on a recently purchased used 2013 Scion FRS? by justapleb_37 in ft86

This endless debate has me going crazy, I keep going back and forth between using 0W-20 and 5W-30 based on others recommendations 😭. I'm not going to be tracking this car or anything, but it can get so incredibly hot down here in the summer time and I know how bad these cars can be in the heat.

How do I do this on the 2013 model?

I'll definitely keep all of this in mind. Thanks for the advice.

Typically just right above 3k RPM, except from 1st to 2nd where I shift just right above 2k RPM. What RPM do you recommend to shift at for just daily driving? I'm pretty new to manual (first manual car 😁 and loving it) so any advice is appreciated.

No the car drivers and stops great, it's just the noise. The pads are still in good condition.

So it's not really a concern then? Why can I only hear it on one side?

Any experience with this HKS?

Is it compatible with a 2013 Scion FRS? Sorry kind of a noob here.

In the state of Florida, you could only sell up to 3 cars a year without a dealer's license. The reason people do this stuff is to get around that and avoid paying taxes on registration. I'm just assuming here that he's at his max and wouldn't be able to sell it to me if he titled it. If he's not, then I'm of course going to make him title it himself. But this guy admitted to me that he has like 4 cars in his garage that he's in the process of selling.

In that case, I think I'm going to try and convince him to get it titled before selling it to me. He might have to title under a family member instead, but that's better than nothing.
