New page!!
Ever since I was ~14 or so, Ive had some form or goatee/beard/stache. It still varies depending on how lazy I am.
I love the Varis lip kit on the one Aman posted though.
Moar powa????

http://my350z.com/forum/other-vehicl...-lsx-swap.html
Weapons Grade Performance revealed on their Facebook page they are working on a LSx engine swap kit for the Subaru BRZ/Toyota FR-S platform while updating progress on their LSx swapped BRZ project.
The subframe and other swap parts are going to be our little secret until we release the kit
Here is an picture update showing the GTO sourced LSx sitting in the BRZ engine bay.

You dont drive something like that, you skid wildly down the road scaring women and children.
Wonder how that would driveBy women and children, I mean Camaro and Mustang drivers
In fairness to J, it was only 11:35am in Florida.....
I've done a very small amount of work to the car over the past week, updates will come later today once I clean up the pics. I havent been on here much because my company locked down our laptops, so Im bored out of my damn mind sitting at work

I need to visit more often. I missed J's drunken post(s). Gotta go back 
I've been lacking in the update department. Lets see, last weekend I picked up some extra tubing for the air/oil separator, so I ran the lines the way I wanted to and reinstalled the manifold cover.
Some of you may notice that the stock intake has been reinstalled. Thats because the Airaid has been proven to not flow as well as they said. I decided to flash another tune (for the stock intake) and reinstall the OEM airbox. The car pulls much stronger in the mid range, so the OEM airbox stays. I may look into getting one of the silicone intake elbows to replace the OEM pipe, but its not at the top of my list.
While reinstalling the airbox, I decided to mod the snorkel. The stock snorkel was routed above the radiator and ran to the passenger side of the car where a small round opening pulled air in. I didnt like it, so I cut it. It still pulls air from the cold side of the radiator, but it has a larger mouth.

Next up, my final gift came from Scion last week.
An FR-S book and a letter!
This was in the box as well:
It was heavy, at least 10lbs. Unwrapped it to see this:
Its a beautiful billet aluminum box with the opposed pistons and 86 emblem on the lid. The end caps had the trademark T in them as well:
I love aluminum, so yes, I was incredibly excited. Then I opened the box.
Dash plaques.
One for the center console and another for the glove box. They are real carbon fiber, which also gets me excited.
Installed:
And for Tim (from Bobs Vagon thread)
Never gonna rip it off
Never gonna throw it out
Always gonna be glued onto my glove box

Dude, that is absolutely awesome. The way Scion has treated you makes me want to get one. I wonder if the BRZ guys are getting customer billet and CF stuff.
, are you not going to put the SS clamps on them?
Thanks guys.
Nope, at least not for free.
Its the program that I signed up, 86 of us in the US got the car early.
Also, get a better computer.
Sometimes, only for the headlights tbh. But as J said, the difference saved went into mods. Its not supposed to be a daily, so all the additional creature comforts that came in the BRZ Limited didnt matter to me. Even when taking the miles Ive racked up thus far into account, I really don't miss those extra features.
I got the wrong size clamps and haven't been back to the store yet

Right?! This thing wasn't meant to be awesome. We run a simple program for the car lot, the internet is just a plus. 
My Macbook Pro has 8GB of RAM now.
You can get the new iMacs up to 32GB
