I've driven in the Swiss Alps.

Too bad it was my Grandmother's Renault Clio...

 

Excellent choice on going lower. Congratulations!

 

Lower is always the way, sir.
Can't see the links but I can only imagine it looks awesome.

 

I am jealous of your driving experience and your grandma. I wish I had a hot Swiss grandma

 

She ain't hot, bruh!

 

OMG 5 days until I pick up my coilovers!

And yes, my first track day of 2015 is in 5 days as well!

 

That's the second car I've started to drive in my life.
Was one older version though, in 1999

You guys don't get winter there huh

 

You're such a baby.

 

Believe it when I see it.

 

We do. It was a chilly 73 degrees F today. Its been 78 F recently


Brrrrr


I have heat in the house all night, it dips down to 64 or so, house is nice and toasty at 72 degrees


brrrr

 

moar lower. now.

 

Winter is coming......

NOT

 

Finding winter in LA is like looking for a virgin, or a car without coilovers.


GO LOW NOW

 

Winter.


People don't believe me when I ask what winter is.

 

I'm beyond stressed out at work this week. Thank God I have a track day in 3 days.

Streets of Willow baby!

 

< Jealous

 

This will likely be my last time there with the stock coilovers. My best so far is 1:33. I want to at least get it down to 1:31.

I've been in a car that ran 1:28 and that car was flying around. So yeah.. it's just couple seconds, but it's not just couple seconds for sure. haha

 

in bed, a couple of seconds could mean the difference between failure and success.

 

Figured this would be okay here...love it. I wonder why Morgan had a hard time charging his...sucks.

 

Given OP is married and I think his wife drives the Audi, I think he is way past success vs failure

 

How much is it to go around that track for a few laps?

 

Jack Fried's track day (usually a week day), we pay $300 for the day, unlimited laps at willow. He did it for the Porsche Club (he has a GT3RS) and now also hosts it for the Lotus club (he has a 211) in Los Angeles.

 

Screw the track.... Where's them coils.

 

Saw this before yeah. It does make a huge difference on FRS/BRZ. I want one after my powertrain warranty runs out. No need for it before.



It depends on which track organization you go with.

This Saturday is just $50. I bought a coupon pack from ExtremeSpeed. They are one of the lower tier organizations meaning they are not that organized nor managed. You usually can get about 30 laps per day. The regular pricing here is usually $100, so it really isn't bad at all.

This organization called Speed Venture which I went for that Buttonwillow track day last month, they are very well organized and they do the pre grid using the lap time. So it is much better in terms of traffic control and you can very well get up to 50 laps per day. This organization is usually $150 per day.

There are couple higher tier ones that charge between 300-400 but you get shitload of laps, so that sometimes makes sense.

that's something ricer would say! you ricer!

 

 

I kid. I want to see a video of you on the track.

Well not actually YOU on the track but your car.

 

Every BRZ in the SFV is hooked up. Slammed, stanced, tinted...

 

Oh have you seen this? I posted this before here.


Yeah. Wrong crowd man! Don't mess with the Stanced group.

 

Don't worry I don't. That is what I hated about my bright blue Mazdaspeed3. Every freaking ricer would want to race at all times And god help me if a WRX hatch or GTi were nearby.

 

This is really sad and funny at the same time.

The coilovers seller called me last night... He said his brother accidentally sold it to other person couple weeks ago. He found out last night trying to load everything to his car for the track day tomorrow. He was super, super sorry about it. He's very genuine and honest too so I just told him that it's okay and things happen.. but yes this is really sad. haha

Is this a sign or something? I waited like 3 months for this thing. This was going to be my bday present from my wife too.

Sigh.. this is sad.

 

^^
Is this your excuse for not lowering!!!

BRZ gods be mad now..watch out

 

surrrrreeeeee

 

Oh shut up. It's actually pretty depressing.

 

Why cant your wife buy you a new set for your bday present?No wife wants a sad and depressed husband, if she knows whats good for her

 

^lol.

 

Because I want a good deal on slightly used one. Haha

She did tell me that she can just get me a new one after she saw me go hearing the news lol

I told her that I dont need a new one. My friend who is sponsored by Cusco is looking for something for me right now.

 

You wouldn't buy your wife used stuff. Take her up on her offer, and get it new, and slam that bitch*



*(the car, not the wife)

 

NO! No sign here! Keep trying to go lower!

Is there a slow season for mods in California? Maybe there will be more sellers/buyers come spring?

 

Yeah I want to get a coilovers soon.

Just got home from the track. It was SO FUN. And on the way back, I decided to take Angeles Crest Highway instead of the freeway. Oh man, that drive was glorious.

The weather was like PERFECT. 65 degrees. No cloud whatsoever. Breezy wind. Not many cars through the mountain. Insane views around every corner.
