Varis: Toyota 86 Lightweight Carbon Trunk (VTTO-201) – Part 1

August 22, 2016

Part 1 of 3. Always inspect car parts when they arrive! Why? Because the shipping company decided to play kickball with my new Varis carbon trunk. After 6+ months of waiting, i really hope it can be repaired locally.

Aside from the 3rd-party shipping damage, Varis and Bulletproof Automotive delivered an absolutely flawless product! This trunk was purchased through Bulletproof Automotive, who imported it for me.

P-000002 Scion FR-S Precision Clutch Disk Alignment Tool

August 1, 2016

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License

(Picture/GIF/Video Coming Soon!)(This article is under construction.)(Picture of final product.) While installing the clutch disk into my Scion FR-S (Subaru BRZ) (Toyota 86), i spent almost two hours struggling with getting my transmission to mate to the engine block. Eventually, i took the transmission back down, and noticed that the clutch was mis-aligned. I came to find that the alignment tool had deformed from the weight of the clutch disk, and without noticing, i had mis-aligned the clutch disk during the installation of the pressure plate. I was outraged! I had to remove the alignment tool, examine it, then replace it and manually align the clutch disk to make up for the low-quality tool. Read more
