Portland shop use for BRZ/FR-S owners

[Zach]

Shop looks like a great spot to play cars! Your taillights turned out awesome, I just picked up my raven and want to go solid red. Have enough left over? I will split the cost with ya haha.

[DarrenDriven]

Yeah man, I have plenty left over for like three sets of lights. I'm glad you stopped by today, your car looks much cleaner debadged!

[dvsidboy]

I need to go solid red also...maybe trade photos for paint work.

[DarrenDriven]

Yeah, that would be cool. I'm always down for some cool photos. I'll be around all week next week, feel free to give me a shout. Just so you know, I'll need the lights overnight so they can cure properly... so plan to either bring me just the lights, or prepare to leave your car overnight.

[DarrenDriven]

NickFRS stopped by today with his Asphalt FR-S, that was cool man. Then Zach went all Griot's on my car today with claybar and a nice seal and wax. Thanks!

[DaJo]

You have no freakin' idea how JEALOUS I am for the amount of space that man cave of yours has!

Love your car btw!

Oh, I kinda notice a typo in your sig too; you put down "2003 Scion FR-S" I think you meant 2013.

No problem at all, hit me up the next sunny batch of days. I appreciate having a great area to hang out and work on the car, the "cold" beer was a great addition

Good to meet ya Nick, cant wait to see your car after the drop!



Nice to see all 3!

Hahahaha... oops. I made that new sig late last night and I MIGHT have made an error.... or maybe it was a trick and you got an A+?

[NickFRS]

Was a good time at the shop! Next time i'll bring over some brews! To bad I had to dip out early. I will deff be stoping by again. Can't wait to see yours dropped darren seems that your coils will be here first. We need to get some 10+ FRS/BRS deep photos going some time! Or play how many scions can we fit in the shop ahaha!

[DarrenDriven]

I just ordered some D2 coilovers directly from the manufacturer, which are half the price of my KWs (that are arriving today) so we'll see how things work out.

Yeah, I should be able to cram five FR-S/BRZs in the shop.... that would make for a cool photo!

[DarrenDriven]

It was good to meet @Mongo and @digital_assassin at the shop last night for a few beers. See you guys around again soon.

Dude, sorry I took off and didn't sweep up the glass. Thanks for the lights and lets hang out again soon.

[Neziah]

You should go for 6 next time!

[DarrenDriven]

Haha... it's all good, took two seconds to scoop the glass up with the shovel. No worries.

Neziah, you should PM me your cell number and I will give you a heads up next time we are at the shop. Would be cool to meet ya.

[dvsidboy]

I want in on the next meet!

[DarrenDriven]

I'll text you next time I'm headed over there. It wasn't really a meet... just me working on my car.

[digital_assassin]

I think we should have a detail day at the garage. I went North and made a pit stop at Griot's Garage in Tacoma and picked up a ton of stuff. And when we got home Home Depot was beckoning me with final supplies.

[DarrenDriven]

Holy shxt! Yeah... I need help from @Zach anyway... I have some very faint scratches on one side of my car. Is there a day this week that is better for you guys than another? I am thinking that Thursday won't work for me... how about Wednesday?

[Zach]

Wednesday is good for me, can try my best to help out with scratches and finish up (restart haha) the car.

digital_assassin...the things I would do to that pressure washer.. you have no idea . How much that set ya back? Super bummed with the "soap gun" product I picked up and after looking into it a foam lance setup is really the only way.

[blu_]

Thats quite the setup Having my clear bra put on Wednesday. Just a warning for everyone to avoid 26 going into the city before the tunnels. They are tearing it up and it is covered in 1-2" long pieces of concrete. It chipped up my front bumper fairly bad in one pass through.

[digital_assassin]

Are you guys talking night time or an all day deal. I won't be available on Wednesday until about 6 PM.

@Zach

The pressure washer was only about $165 at home depot. I picked up the Griot's Foam Sprayer but at Home Depot they had the Foam Blaster which sounded cooler so I got it, and it was only $17. I am going to set up the rig based on a thread over at auto geek by Express Detail. Here's a youtube of the $17 dollar blaster hooked to a pressure washer. Do you have any suggestions on the pressure washer setup?

Where are you getting your clear bra done? And how much are you paying for it? I'm looking to get mine done up before I start driving on freeways comfortably.
