They reduce rear anti squat and you can get on power a tad earlier coming out of a turn. Will test them this weekend at MSR Cresson and report back.

And the traction mod works as advertised, no more twitchiness in the rear coming out of turns. I was running the rear shocks 4 clicks softer, I think most folks stiffen the rear after this mod, but it may be a personal preference.

Since the BRZ is obviously not going to be my wife's car, I got her an E93 M3 DCT. The engine is a very sweet V8 with ITB's and 8,300 rpm redline.

WHHHAAATTTT!!!! Rafal! Danggit!

My wife has been clamoring to trade her '17 WRX for a '19 STi lately - you are not helping in the "Wife-Fast-Car-Arms-Race" LOL :P

Changed oil and the front brake pads today.

Stripped three (!) wheel studs on the rear passenger side. Will press in the replacements instead of pulling them through with a lug nut.

Hey man, you fast yet?

Code Monkey · 03-07-2019, 12:38 PM

Trying my best.

Code Monkey · 03-07-2019, 06:31 PM

Changed the oil today at 15,298 miles.

Also, installed the MTEC shift springs a few weeks ago, the shifts feel a bit crispier.

Last track weekend I heard a new humming noise coming out of some turns and upon further inspection I discovered that the LR axle nut slipped.

Ordered a new OEM wheel hub, pressed in new ARP studs, and hopefully all is good.

Also changed the front brake pads as I have two consecutive hpde weekends ahead of me.
