Replaced brake fluid with TRD stuff and had TRD door stabilizers installed.

Sold my aftermarket exhaust system. Back to stock for now. It's actually very relaxing and soothing cruising around. Waiting on my JDL setup.

Oh and I installed the Vortech Kit on Monday : )

Put in my APexi dry panel filter. Took out the Oiled K&N one. Same throttle response, no oil on the MAF.

I had an absolute blast-- drove that section 3x, had some unobstructed / fast bits during each run. Thanks to @MarcL for the idea :3

Then I drove back roads back to Morrison and took the highway the rest of the way home. Today was awesome: super nice weather, nice roads, fantastic car... and it only cost me ~$25 in gas. This car is ridiculously cool.
You are most welcome! I recently did the Highway 5-Blackhawk-Golden Gate loop. Lots of fun coming down through Golden Gate. Amazing how the car performs, even with those Prius tires.

Yeah. You really can carry a considerable amount of speed through corners if you drive smoothly. I almost don't want to change to anything stickier now, cause it's fun being able to get the car squirming around a bit!

A friend and I drove up Golden Gate and then did Peak to Peak and drove down Boulder Canyon the other day. Traffic was really bad, so it was just a cruise. My friend said there were a bunch of cops at the bottom of Lookout Mountain the other day with their lights on. Apparently they yelled at him for doing 25mph on the street leading up to it-- is that normal? When I went on Saturday there were no cops...

There are so many good roads here. It's a shame how many are kind of ruined by traffic though-- it seems like there are more drivers here than there are in the areas I usually drive in CA and that most of them are less-considerate than CA drivers. I've only had one or two people in slow cars use turnouts / pull over to let people by. This happens sometimes in CA, but I'd say ~75% of the time if people are really holding you up and you're polite about it (don't tailgate, just stay in their rear-view) they'll let you by. Oh well. A few friends and I are going to try going out early in the morning this weekend. We'll see if traffic is better.
