Grimmspeed CAI is the best.

 

Made the gaskets for the exhaust and cleaned the exhaust yesterday. lol

Getting it installed tomorrow morning at my friend's place.

$100 exhaust baby.

 

Thanks, I'll let him know.

 

Boosted yet?

 

No, come back in like four years.

 

thats it? or maybe till u get your next car

 

I'll take the over on that.

 

I'm keeping this car. I would be getting about car if I need to. Really dont feel like adding more power to this car now. I'm pretty confident that I would want to get more after more seat time at the track later. But I cant even handle 200hp properly right now. Really no point in adding more.

Anyway, just finished installing the exhaust. My friend did it for me at his garage. Sounds awesome! Finally I can hear the exhaust from the back. The car feels more raw. No drone on the freeway. It's pretty quiet low. Gets much louder on top end. Good for $100.

Will be selling my GT86 exhaust tips for like $80 probably haha. Winning.

 

By the way, the stock exhaust is really.. heavy. This new catback is lighter. Thats like the best part.

Eventually, I want to get a Tomei 60R. Thats the lightest set up for our car I believe.

 

Did you weigh them?
Awesome, man...especially at that price.

Is Meko interested in your tip(s)?

 

post up some videos, let me hear how it sounds!!!

 

Just got this off the Tomei thread in FT86 forum.

TYPE-60S　The sports model designed for sound quality, noise levels & performance
Stock: 17.4 kg.
Type 60S: 6.4 kg

TYPE-60R　The race model, designed for exhaust flow & weight reduction.
Stock : 17.4 kg
Type 60R : 4.6 kg

TYPE-80　The high flow model for forced induction setups
Stock : 17.4 kg
Type 80 : 7.3 kg

I think my new one is like at least 50% lighter lol

Was MEKO looking for the GT86 tips!? Man someone already bought them. Sold it for $80+Shipping 15 minutes after I posted it on the forum. haha I bought these for $90 last February I think.

Alright! Will try to get something tomorrow.

 

Was just asking, not sure, man...thanks for the info.

 

I already have GT86 tips since last year

 

OMG I love having an exhaust. I want to drive my car even more now.

Just went out for a nice drive just for fun. Love how I can hear louder throttle every time I downshift!

 

 

I like this better.

I need to do some real photoshoot for my car. I don't think I've never done one for it. Hmm..

 

Exhaust is such a huge upgrade!

 

My stubby is great!




Wait a minute...

 

Congrats on the exhaust!

It's always a must-have mod for me.

Please take DSLR pictures! And video, too!

I wish I was closer.

 

only one pic. haha

 

Looks soooo much better lowered.

#justsayin

I know I said it 2 hours after posting pictures that it was lowered.

 

But, still not boosted.

 

Holy shit, cut the poor guy a break!

It does look good lowered, makes all the difference.




Now BOOST!

 

You idiots!

My wife's boss bought a pair of 3 day tickets to the Long Beach Grad Prix.... Super excited...

 

3 days...
Bring water!

 

You figure out how to fit a car seat in that thing buddy.

I found this locally, I am trying to find a time to test fit my Recaro Pro Ride baby seat into it now that my son is front facing.

2013 Subaru BRZ for sale in Florence - JF1ZCAC12D1608181 - King Cadillac Buick GMC

 

That one doesn't seem like a good deal! You are just test fitting the car seat on that one right?

 

Yes, and I know people. King is the last name of the owner of the dealership. It has been in business for over half a century, Lets just say I know Mr. King. I wouldn't be paying that price at all. They also have had that vehicle on the lot for about 5-6 months.

In your opinion whats a good price?

If the car seat fits, I will snap some pictures. If it is a terrible failure, I wont post pictures.

 

Ah I see. Nice!

Maybe 18-19k?

 

$100 catback?! wtf? I thought I got good deals on my stuff... what brand is it?

I've always said that - how a car looks and drives definitely factors into its enjoyment factor. But how it sounds shouldn't be underrated.

 

Haha pretty crazy huh? It's called Tsudo. It's one of the cheapest ones for our cars. I've had them on for about 2 weeks now. I like it a lot! It gives very deep throaty sound. It definitely added another aspect to the driving experience. I love it when I go up to the canyon. I can actually hear my exhaust sound. haha

The thing that I LOVE about it is not the sound though. It's the weight. This thing is so much lighter than the stock catback. Jesus, our stock axleback section is SUPER heavy.

I would eventually upgrade to Tomei for that super lightness, but that's like way way later. I didn't want the exhaust before. Just couldn't pass up this deal.

 

Oh btw.. I bought another stock wheel/tire set for $150 two days ago..

And flipped them to a local member for $350 today. AND he was actually stocking out his car. He had the STi style sideskirt that I always wanted for sale. So he gave it to me for $100.

I need to get some 3M double sided tape for it and install it! It'll look !

 

so you buy everything for $100, it seems.

 

$134.50

Great deal, man...that's insane! So you mark up, he marked down...

 

Just test fitting it.

What do you guys think? I always wanted these side skirts.

 

I think it looks fine. But i would paint the whole thing. but if you like, leave the little step unpainted.

 

I booked an appointment for tomorrow morning. Just gonna get them installed. I kinda like the contrast that it gives. Maybe later I'll get the roof wrapped in black to match the lips.

 

With the front lip, it makes sense...looks cool but need better pictures!

 

can hardly tell the difference cause you need a CAR WASH!!!
