ohh you already ordered suspension! Damn you're moving quick. Have you signed up for autocross/track sessions/classes!!

You got a go pro right? USE it! lol

 

Thank you good sir

I had the suspension ordered before I got the car. 5342 miles later, its almost here!

Not yet. Since I came back from the Nat'l meet I've had 2 days off from work. The next day that I have scheduled off is July 28th and 29th.

IIRC there is an HPDE at VIR in October, but I need to get out to some autox in the mean time. Im not really trying to compete, I just want to run and have fun.

 

so has nippledriver got a drop yet?

 

Thursday, hopefully.

I have to admit, that name Ivansomething came up with was hilarious.

 

I can't wait to see your car lowered...seriously. I have always used inches to measure etc...but once you start learning offsets and using spacers, you're better off switching to metric. Plus, I used to spend time in Europe and EVERYTHING is KG and KM etc...so it's not really that foreign to me. I would assume if you're getting a full bodied it's the equivalent to the FF's/Megans for the Acuras?

NSXNEXT nicely done...with as much as "kingkong_dav" (he's gotten better but check any thread where RV6 is mentioned) and "EAC" (the RV6 True Dual thread...if you read through that one, you'll likely ban him) have gotten away with, I was worried the mods were taking a vacation!

Morgan, you're really making me want to go test drive this thing. How easy is it to kick out and go sideways?! Or does the RWD platform need a little more of a torque kick to make that happen? I had an 87 Corolla...RWD and Carburated...MAN, in the rain, I'd pop it back into 1st on turns and have a friggin BALL!

Ahh...memories!

 

I have no problem converting mm -> inches or km -> miles in my head, but I cant convert kg to lbs to save my life

On the stock tires its incredibly easy to get sideways when its dry. When its wet, its more unpredictable, which is why I wanted new tires asap. Unfortunately with the tires Im running now, I can only get the back out when its wet. The Star Specs are way too grippy for the motor, which only gives me a bigger reason to make more power

 

Just stumbled upon this picture of a BRZ...



How fast have you gotten the FRS up to?

 

Don't answer!

 

Yep, I'm a police officer.

 

its a internet he only does the speed limit... sideways

 

I actually lol'd at that.

And to answer your question, 101, just to make sure the digital speedo could read triple digits

In other news, WHAT THE FUCK:



That was 2:30pm this afternoon on my way to work (and the work streak continues ). Thats not accounting for the ridiculous humidity.

 

Oh, and Scion sent me a shirt:



I never wear those types of shirts, but hey

 

haha wasnt saying to compete against people

compete against yourself and just have some fun Let the car be in its natural habitat!

 

Yeah it's been hot as fawk here too. I think it's been a week straight of highs over 100

Have you thought about getting a custom plate? Maybe just saying #(whatever number car you have)

 

Yes, and I have my plate planned out and it is available. But Im a snob and I want to keep my May registration. If I get a new plate now, itll have a July sticker

So Ill just wait until next May

 

V Neck kinda guy, huh?! I woulda guessed!
3500 rpm at 80 in 6th is high, no? This thing have taller gearing than the TL?

J.

Yeah brother...it's fkn hot as heck out. Stay hydrated and keep that sunscreen on!

 

I dig the released Toyota kit except the wing OMG

 

shit..

 

Really?! I could have sworn I'm under 3K when going 80

 

Am AT and its at 2500-2600rpm when @ 80 (if i remember right)...

at 70mph am exactly at 2000rpm....

 

I hope he's going straight to the gas station!

 

Thanks Anil...so I'm not too far, off then!

 

It honestly took me a minute to realize what you were talking about

Shorter gearing actually(shorter = rev higher, longer = rev lower). And 3500rpm at 80 is kind of low for a 4 cylinder. My Prelude (albeit only a 5MT) revved at 4k at 80.

The CL/TL 6MT has a 3.26:1 final drive while this has a 4.1:1 fd. And Im toying with the idea of getting a 4.3:1 rear end.

Yea, the Nurburgring Kit (aka GTS in Australia) is pretty nice minus the spoiler.

My CL is right at 3k at 80. Doesnt matter though, shockingly both can pull about the same highway mileage @80, the CL may even edge it out

 

Really like the car, has a Lotus-like/ Toyota GT1000-like style to it!
You're the benchmark....we're all watching, I know she should be sweet and nasty in no time

 

I know we're all car geeks, but if you ever wear a t-shirt with the technical specifications of your car, I will personally run you over with it.

 

The t-shirt?

 

 

Morgan...gotcha, yeah, shorter...I'll get it right one day.
I would wear that shirt proudly, fk it! We're all on here on that thread jocking all the "Suck my UA7 Squad's dik" shirts all day, why the fk not!!?>?!

 

Nice ride!

 

Yea, Im not one to wear clothes with car brands on them.

And @charliemike

 

"Customers are already ponying up an average of $29,085 for each BRZ model sold. Compare that to the $25,653 average transaction price for the virtually-identical Scion FR-S, and you can see why Subaru offered a $400 incentive on the BRZ in June."

I do not see that being a sustainable sales price model for Subaru.

 

That is chilly.

 

 

Thats acceptable, since you live IN THE FUCKING DESERT. Virginia =/= desert.


That said, Ill trade with you. You can have the mosquitoes and humidity, Ill deal with the heat of 1000 suns

 

the 3G TL maxes out at 111deg's

after that its just "---"

 

 

Epic Review!

Yea just noticed it was in there. Oh well, It's a good repost
