What kind of material is it?

The reason I ask is because genuine Alcantara is UV resistant. I had some clone material on my gauge hood and it faded really bad, very quickly.

 

Thanks guys!

Hmm I got it at Michael Levine. It's for clothing.

 

L

 

Looks

 

I'm gonna force you to open a flickr account so I can see your pics at work.

 

if you can't see it at work, that only means you are not powerful enough

 

 

A local member manufacture this. Pretty cute, huh?



I think he just copied the TRD Griffon one. I heard the purpose of this is to direct the airflow to go over the side mirrors.

 

Indeed.

 

JDM baby

But I do want to do something about my fender garnish later. I don't like how it looks. Maybe if I can manage myself to pull that chrome sticker off of it, I might like it. But I don't know how to do it.

 

i think that whole side grill thing looks outta place.

I would figure out a way to remove it all together and cover it up.

 

You can't. haha

I just want to get rid of the chrome sticker!

 

This is a cool video of BRZ Super GT in Japan.

 

Why is it keep on posting it twice in the same post? I just copied and pasted the linky.

 

You need to copy just the browser link, not the shortened link from the share tab.

 

See it doesn't work!

Maybe it doesn't work for Kimchis? Who made this system? Yummy?

works sometimes.

 

Looks great! Now rub it all in the same direction.

 

Seriously.. it's bothering me a little now.

 

And wow.. it rained just a little last night when I was leaving to the car wash meet.

The RS3s are downright dangerous in the rain. The car was sliding everywhere even though I was driving VERY carefully. I had like 5% confidence in me with the car.

Maybe because it was like the first rain in 3 months? Not sure, but yes, be careful when you drive your car in the rain with the ultra high performance summer tires!

Oh btw, when I had my stock wheels with stock tires, it was SUPER FUN to drive around in rain.

 

I love the Michelin PSSs, especially in the rain.




Except when it's cold

 

Yeah, I heard the PSS is good in the bad weather! That was my favorite tires until all the track guys mentioned me that they are not a good set of track tires. haha

But I know a lot of people love those PSS on FRS/BRZs.

 

They're great. I've got about 24k miles on them and they're down to about 65-70% usage. I drive them hard, but the car is light and doesnt tear them up, which is great.

 

Yeah, they must last good amount!

Another advantage of having a light car!

 

 

So last Saturday, after watching my school getting manhandled by the rival team, I had decided to go out for a driving. I felt SOOOO deflated that I had to go out and do something. Even my wife was like.. yeah you just go for a drive or something. just drive safely.

Anyway two of my friends and I decided to head up to Malibu and take one of the canyon roads back to 101 and come back.

This guy knew a lot of the canyon roads in that area and led us out to this road called "Latigo".

It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fun. It was my first time out there but it was insane. Super technical. A lot of hairpins and blind corners. Elevation changes. It was everything that any car enthusiasts would enjoy.

I was sandwiched between EVO and a turbocharged Elise. Good thing my Elise friend brought his gf in the car, otherwise he would have been on my ass forever.

But yeah, it was FUN.

 

 

By the way, my driver side front tire was flat this morning. I had a warning light on since Thursday but didn't mind it.

No wonder my car was understeering a bit at the canyon when making tight right turns... because this car never really understeered before. It caught me off guard a bit. haha

It's funny though that my VSC helped me tremendously in correcting it. lol It's like "bawp bawp bawp" and back on the line while I was forcing it right. I felt confident even when it was understeering entering the corner. Weird feeling.

 

Modern traction control systems are so good. Looks like a super fun road!

 

Yeah, it was awesome. It feels like the computer knew what I wanted to do for every instances. lol It would have made me mad at the track, but for just canyon fun driving, it's perfect.

I delivered some tofu on that night for sure.

 

Damn, that's some fine driving roads...the closest I can get to that is heading to the mountains (i.e. Banff or Jasper).

 

I'm lucky to be in LA. There are so many canyon roads like this within 30 minutes of driving range. haha

I'm trying to purchase a helmet.

This is pretty good for $99 Amazon Prime huh?

 

One of the main reasons I applied to UCLA.

 

Oh yes. haha UCLA is so close to all those Malibu canyons. We have a lot of the Bruins in the car club!

 

You are really using that car what it was made for

 

Yes! The gas is so cheap too these days... It's just begging to be driven on a road like that. I try to do 1 canyon run with friends per week!

Here's a good video of 86 participating in one of the races.

 

Yup...very few of us can truly say we are enjoying our car that way.

 

Rub it in, will you.

 

My coworker sold me his helmet for super duper cheap. This will do for couple years I suppose.

 

Now, let's paint the helmet
