    Why are you sticking with your S197?

    The vast majority of FR-S/86/BRZ drivers could not care less about how long it takes to travel 1/4 of a mile in a straight line. It's not a drag car. http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticles/ID/4675/An-FA20-For-Michele.aspx

    Why are you sticking with your S197?

    No. That would completely take away the essence of the FR-S, which is superb handling. I daily drove a 13 FR-S for over a year. They are REALLY good cars. Replacing the flat four with a V8 would just basically convert it into a pseudo muscle car with a completely mismatched suspension, steering...

    Why are you sticking with your S197?

    I have a 14 GT with 24K on it (paid off). 40 more HP/30 ft-lbs doesn't impress me. The S550 is not a good looking car. Same thing I thought about the SN95, but those grew on me and I bought one new in 96. The S550 still looks terrible IMO. The IRS is nice, but not for that price. Built one on...

    3k rpm rattle, valve, or other noise?

    Try some higher octane fuel. It could be detonation due to the PCM being reflashed with a tune requiring something higher than 87.

    AC/Heated Seats panel not Working

    B (body) codes don't turn on the check engine light (MIL). P (powertrain) codes do that. Cheap OBD scanners won't read B codes, only P codes. You will need something like an IDS to read B, C (chassis), and U (network) codes.

    2013 GT Premium

    As far as the S197 GT and GT500 go, the 13/14 cars are by far the best. They don't have all the issues the 05-09 cars do. 11/12 cars are good too. But a 13....get it if the price is right (21-24k with that mileage). The IRS on the S550 is nice, but not all that much nicer than the 3-link S197 cars.

    Why are used parts so expensive?

    The 07-09 V6 spoiler is non-pedestal. Ugly as shit tho. I would just delete the spoiler. The early S197 cars look so much better without one, just like the SN95 cars do as well.

    Ever miss your fog lights?

    The 13/14 LED fogs put out A LOT of light.

    AC rapair question

    Check valve? Post a pic and maybe I can help. And hopefully for you, the system has never had Freon in it.

    Not my fault - OP's fault for not knowing how to write or post

    Sure about that? My NA Coyote gets between 13.x to 16.x MPG. Not even remotely close to 25+.

    What's the deal on yankee toll roads ?

    Damn, that's literally highway robbery. Wouldn't pay that. There's a 24 mile bridge near me that has a toll on it though ($3).

    2008 Door Panels..

    I found two non-insert panels on ebay for my 08, but that was about three to four years ago. Some might still be found.

    2009 California Special mods

    I would first get a flash tuner (SCT X3, X4) and program the PCM with a known and reputable tune. No telling what's on there now. Then get some wider tires. Ford did all the exterior mods you need over a GT, IMO.

    Dang Folks, I need a little help here please

    A good set of rear lower control arms (MM, BMR, etc.) would work nicely with those 4.10 gears.

    Gen 2 Coyote in late 14 GT? Fact or myth?

    I've read here and on other forums that late 14 GTs got the Gen 2 Coyote like the S550 cars have. Anybody have a definitive answer? I think it's more than likely internet myth. Reminds me of the old 79 aluminum bumper bullshit. Plenty of people claimed on the internet that their front and...

    The LS wheels are 19x9 (fronts) and 19x10 (rears).

    Black Wheel Craze ????

    Black wheels on any car look horrible. The same with plasti-dipped emblems, etc. I have Boss 302 LS wheels on my 14 GT. They look good enough, but they're more for function over form.
