Evasive has a sick setup. I saw them at Road Atlanta earlier this year. I think they ran a 1:19 at that time.

Morgan should go turbo and supercharged at the same time. That's his next level

Jeremy, if adapter puts the offset to +30...
Will be like this I guess
Wheel Directory: Rota Torque 17x9.0 +30 - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum - FT86CLUB


No way I could run that haha
If it was 5x100 and no needed for adapters......

One thing I love about that forum is that their wheel section is goddam rich as hell.
Can find every type

I go edit pictures and put them down here

Ahaa you 86 guys don't ask how the condensation is holding up.
Seen rainy days, no condensation at all.
+
Today, drove to other side of the MA 140 miles and was raining cats and dogs, no condensation at all again.

It made sense when I took off the headlights too.
Gasget behind the headlight was pretty strong anyway, so this top mounting spot would've been the only way for water to get in

They don't go away anymore, even in cold. Always there with me.
Couple days ago I stepped outside while the car was running, remembered how annoying it sounds from outside 20 years old car sounds better.

I don't have E85 gas here. Brother said Vohlkswaagin Audi people do get it from somewhere but if normal gas stations don't have it around me, I won't bother.

Some old shots from Summer that I just uploaded.
After wax and sealant I suppose

I was in NYC last 2 days, to see Anil (swoosh) and Morgan
Just came back to Boston last night.

Took the baby out, heated the summer tires a little and headed to NY, but there wasn't any snow or salt there.
Got back into MA and roads are like friggen ski slopes. All white

Anil saw the car, first thing he does is touch the paint
Dudeee it's so smooth hahaha
Anil man, I miss you already

Morgan couldn't make it though but next time
No, fuh you I wanted to see the wagon

Friend bought this.
Brother drove it, I haven't yet but he is saying "it's way faster compared to my GTI but still nothing compared to your TL"

I was able to take 2008 R32 on straights with my TL when it was stock.

Am I jelly a little? Yes
This model is which I love the most other than MK4 and this color too

GTi breaks down too much. 4 of my friends had a GTi because I told them it's a GREAT car.

Do you know how much shit I got from them for suggesting it to them?

My brother made him get it because they could fix every shit this car gives haha
But, one does not simply, make them see the money they put on GTI
He wasted 8k on his GTI until today.

They are about to replace the side mount intercooler too.
Oh well, it's modding, you improve it as you replace something.

No suggestions to a person that won't mod a GTI haha

Hmmm...could it have been a 2012? He removed the little plaid things from the emblems but that's about it. It's the edition that came with red calipers.

If mk6 has projectors, leather, sunroof, xenon. That's Autobahn pckg.
Nav should be optional.

The brand new mk7 Autobahn pckg? Camera, bumper sensors, rain sensor comes with it, but projectors are optional

And J.

Rule number 1, we do not talk about Genesis Coupe here.
Same with rule number 2 and 3

Having a smooth, relaxing car to drive as a daily is something I forgot about and took for granted. I'm already scrambling to add sound deadening to my car to quiet it up a little. Also bought a catted header because I know I'd hate the catless one.

My ideal daily driver would be something with good low end torque, roomy, yet not huge. Must be quiet and smooth on the freeway. Still has to be decently fun to drive too. So basically, a Golf TDI.

Though I have been dailying a newer Camry SE recently... it's very relaxing to drive, and handles better than I thought it would.

If that's the case.. oh yeah.
Q5 doesn't even notice when 5 adults sit in it. Was an amazing feeling after the MDX at first.

I say Q3 Premium Plus 2.0T FWD in Monsoon Grey Metallic for $32,000
Golf is too small

After seeing how quiet and relaxing this Q5 is, my thought on Honda sedan is done. No way Accord or Camry for daily.

I want a Range Rover in my life.


What do you mean?
You got rid of OFH? Bought FT86speedfactory catted header?
