Your current brakes look rather lack-luster....when are you gonna get some fancy ones?

Once theres something on the market for both front and rear. Right now theres only BBKs for the front, and I dont want to throw off the braking bias/power.

Just a set of rotos and some RDX covers should do the trick...

I have my rotors on. Waiting on the other covers. Fukking China, slower than shit.

But seriously...rotors and calipers could really make the FR-S look sic as ever.

I think the car already does look perfect. Will it add to the look, sure...but by no means does it look "incomplete" without it.

At least in my opinion.

Yea, and then the rear setup got delayed and delayed. Hence why I want to get all four corners at once.

No I dont regret them. I regret not getting off my ass and planning the rear BBK sooner.

The CL and FR-S are two completely different cars. One is a highway cruiser and the other one will be hitting up track days. I just don't want to put anything on the car that will upset an already capable chassis, which is why I want to do all four corners at the same time.

Plus I dont like how a monster BBK looks up front while the back is still running the stock cast brakes

He's alive

His mom and grandmother were in NY for the storm and didn't have any power so he was considering driving up there and bringing a generator.

He texted me last night saying that he's moved into his new place but the electric company cut the power since he didn't contact them to transfer the account to his name

Thanks for worrying guys. Richmond was spared in the storm, but NY obviously wasnt. As Tyler said, my brother and I were planning on heading up to NY with some generators. But the night before we were going they got power back. Good thing too, because if it were just him and I we couldnt have crossed the bridges (theyre only allowing cars with three or more people over).

And yes, I moved into a new place Wednesday/Thursday. I never realized how much crap I own.

Im still unpacking, but I love the garage.



The rest is OK I guess. Ill take some pics once Im settled in. Also, I liked the way they car looked in this pic, even though my phone is old and takes crappy pics:
