I was never a huge fan of the NT03+M, I wanted to love them but couldn't. Once these were released, I knew I had to have them it was a bit of a risk, but I'm happy with the way they turned out.

Minor update, got some swag from Cusco and put my plate frame on today. I should just get a new plate, but I've had my plate on so many cars I feel like I have a bond to it. Also "EPS" is the acronym for our Edmonton Police Service.

Hey if that's what your circumstances allow then that's awesome. Hope you enjoy the new car.

Wow, that's a dead ringer for my former '08 E90 M3. Loved it except for how much gas it slurped.

Enjoy your new 86, it looks great! I'm looking forward to completing break-in on my new BRZ w/ PP tomorrow!

Thank you! Yeah, I loved the M3, I'd had a few other BMWs in the past, it was my first M car and I loved it, especially with the Borla exhaust. I stress about things though and the rod bearings, throttle actuators and stuff were always in the back of my mind so I figured I'd get back into something safe and Japanese. I just finished the break-in on my 86 a couple of days ago, it's a blast.

I sold my M3 (e92) and pick up my BRZ just in July. The BMW was my first euro car and I had the same concerns. Great car but it didn't feel like a sports car to me as much as BRZ does. However I will miss the power, lol.

Something about the white rear ends of these cars does it for me.

Alignment day yesterday.. Not sure if I should match front camber to rear, or get LCAs to dial out some rear camber.

Always have more Camber up Front or your Car will understeer alot.

With your Wheel/Tyre Combination try

Front -2° to -2,5° and
Rear -1,5° to -2°

Yeah, I'm much happier.. I was going to do 2.0F and 1.5R but he couldn't get it to any less than 2.0 on the rear.
