$2500+@ vs. $150

Like I said, I don't WANT a coilover set now. The bottleneck to the performance is ME, the driver mod.

I have certain track time goal at Streets of Willow and Buttonwillow. Once I'm able to get the time down in stock suspension set up with the new set of wheels/tires, I'll be upgrading them.

Haha all good. It's certainly not my first choice but it was cheap as heck. I can easily resell it if anything!

Can't wait to try it out!

They'll look great...especially lit up!

Wait for one of those guys that's always trying out new suspensions...then snag his lightly used set of coils. DONE! That's what I just did.

Yeah, the LED tube looks great.

And for sure on the lightly used set of coils. I already met up with couple local guys who love to try out new suspension set up. Hope to snag one of the set up next year.

Can't believe how much $ some of the guys spent on mods. It's insane. lol

It seems like a lot of people who drive FAST cars like GTR/911 are buying a FRS or BRZ as a track toy or daily driver. These guys just drop $10k on mods easy within the first month of ownership.

Thanks! Yes, it's the black/clear one. I had a choice to get the Red, but for some reason, black/clear looked better with this type.

I'm assuming Shin Ramyun is the same thing? Never had it. It's only Pho around me and usually not great Pho either (made from powdered mix).

I love Shin Ramen but it aint got nothing on Pho, especially when you are having a hangover.

Ph79 at westminster, worth the drive. A whole bowl of oxtails cost $2 !!!

Lol come to Sac, we get it to 60s here and I gotta see rain!

I was in St. Charles Illinois for training for two weeks. Shit was cold. First time experiencing below 0 weather and the winter clothes I took are suitable for well LA winters lol. I would sport a sweater and USC jacket. Or a shirt, sweater and thin peacoat if i was out for longer. Never saying its cold in california again.

You take that back!

You can get in a car and drive up to the mountains and get cold ass weather or up to Northern Cali to get rained on.

I could get in a car and drive for 15 hours and might not see a temperature over 50 degrees.

It's my bday next week. My wife knows that I want something for my car.

Hmmm...

Helmet + Gloves?

By the way, local deal pending on 17x9 +45 silver rpf1. It's $500.

It's from my friend who owns a FRS. If everything goes right, I will pick that up in couple weeks.

Or this combo?

Cusco Strut Bar Front + Master Cylinder Brace
Cusco Strut Bar Rear

This combo makes huge differences in lessening the flex as well as brake feel. Have driven the car with these two installed. It's pretty as well.

http://ft86speedfactory.com/cusco-st...-rear-113.html


And super easy to install.

I'll definitely go to Laguna Seca next year. I'm trying to focus on smaller ones this year to improve myself.
