I know what you mean. Every time I visit my parents my dad's asking me what I've thrown money away on this time.


Clean like this right?

^I don't like what's been done at all

 

Finally had time/good weather to shoot some shots of my car.

Penguin key chain FTW.

 

Nice location. Looks mysterious without being able to see the horizon.

I think a little tire shine will help a bit.

I really like that interior shot. I could see that in a magazine or on a website!

 

Your plate frame what plans you have next?

any updates on the t-shirts?

 

Isn't installing the drift button a PITA? It seems like it from the DIY I saw.

 

I used up the last of mine before I had time to take pictures. Any recommendations on a brand, because the stuff I was using sucked.


I just painted the dash panel a dark grey and got checkered floor mats. I still have to install carbon fiber mirror covers I bought last week. I'm hoping to get a lip kit/pulley/ or sway bars next.


YES!! I pretty much destroyed the stock button trying to get it out.

 

I use Adam's Premium Car Care Products for all of my car cleaning needs.

I recommend using the Super VRT Tire & Trim Dressing for the wheels. It isn't greasy like a lot of other tire shine products and I also use it for all my rubber trim. Very easy to put on and since it's not a spray you don't have to worry about it getting everywhere.

Thank you sir!



....... and here we go, the final prototype before print!

Shirts will be black with white graphics, the car is going to be 17" long starting on the front and wrapping around the side to the back. I'm pricing these at $25.50 shipped (because you're not all the way in Canada ).

Email me at meehowdesign@gmail.com with your shipping address / # of shirts / sizes and I'll send you a paypal invoice.

 

I already sent you an e-mail

I'm gonna be one of those guys. Step out of my BRZ in my BRZ shirt, with world rally blue Subaru jacket, wearing my Ken Block DC shoes.
































don't shoot

 

Don't forget your Monster trucker cap!

 

Figured out my next mod!!
















































New windshield.

Sucks! Even more so, I went out to my car and saw that the glass is AGC... Toyota OE supplier. Toyota glass sometimes costs double what Subaru does. No idea why.

 

Got quoted for $600 + tax + installation from the local Subaru dealership... I'm going to go with the shop that quoted me for $225 installed instead.

 

Got my t-shirt done.

Nice jeans.

HOW DO I GET THE TSHIRTS NOW?

 

Where is mine?


I know, I know... it's only Wednesday. I just can't wait.

 

Wait. Did I miss something?

You ordered it already!?

 

there's a thread on ft86club

I can't find it though I stumbled upon it a while ago cause I spend an ungodly amount of time there. Try PMing him, I ordered almost a month ago

 

lol, it WAS in California two weeks ago... and then they shipped it to me in the midwest. But it should be back in California tomorrow.


... well this is awkward. I can ask and see if they'll print two more shirts if you want me to try that.

 

Yeahhhhh I guess I missed the order thread...

 

We have a big Norcal meet, hope it makes it in time

Peoplez gon' be jockin mah swag.

 

July time update:

Got my carbon fiber mirror covers on, switched out the BRZ fender vents for wrapped FR-S vents, and got myself a high quality replica STI style front lip.

Lovely shots. Lovely cars.

 

Also figured I'd post some more pictures of the shirt I designed. I think it came out pretty well.

 

Sweet lineup at the meet! Love a lot of the mods!

 

I didn't even get pictures of the OG AE86, Supra, and rhd R32 that showed up later.

The only thing that really wasn't doing it for me was a version 1 rocket bunny, maybe its because those things are all over the web and don't seem very unique anymore... that version 2 though.

 

Had a small group of FR-S/BRZ's, a WRX, and a STi cruise out to Starved Rock this past Sunday. I got stuck with the unenviable task of having to keep up with the WRX and Sti when our group got separated.

Damn, very cool! I really want a new WRX

 

Lovely pics and cars.

CLtotheTL32,

Don't be that guy. Get the BRZ.

 

Gorgeous landscape! I need to go out and find more hiking trails.

If I lived somewhere without any twisty roads, and I actually needed a backseat, I would probably get a WRX. I sometimes recommend people to not get a twin because really, it's a 3-seater. My seat is lowered to the ground and anyone sitting behind me will complain.

The twins aren't for everyone. Low-end torque is preferable to most people in a daily, especially if they have enthusiast leanings.

I am going to test drive a WRX, but I'm fairly confident it won't have the same magic that I know and love. I have a strong feeling that it's a great car though.

 

Nice to know about your car and the tires of your which you recently got are also very graceful in look and matched with your car color,i like it so much actually when it perfectly match so think its looking so beautiful.

 

Nice photos! I've never been out there. Seems to be only about a 2 hour drive for me. I should check it out. Do you have any suggestions for what to do or see while there (besides hit the trails)?

What do you think of the new WRX and STi?

 

Oh for sure. It's certainly not a comfy pocket rockets. If people need to haul stuff a lot and friends, I wouldn't recommend it.

It's just like S2K and Miata... well not as inconvenient as those. A little better than those.

 

If you get there early enough before the families start showing up you can let your car loose on some pretty twisty roads near the park. That, by far, is the best experience. They have boat rentals too, but I haven't tried that yet.


They're really quick (obviously) and the STi actually looks pretty sweet in person. Add a lip, spoiler, and aftermarket wheels to the WRX and they're pretty indiscernible. The only really down sides for me were the exhaust tones, I think both guys had aftermarket cat-backs, that did not sound good, and the look of the rear end. The WRX, without the crazy wing, just looks like a Corolla from the back... the STi looks like a Corolla with a giant wing.


Coming from a Miata, this car seems like a station wagon in terms of storage capacity.

 

Here are the pictures I took from this past Thursday's meet out in Elmhurst.
