Too bad you don't live closer, we could just trade lol. You'd take a hit, but I'm ok with that.

Anthony, if you want to save even more weight and have and out of this world shifting experience, you should go with a CAE Ultra Shifter...it weighs like 3 lbs and replaces all of this:





I just got mine in and installed it over the weekend along with the Perrin engine mounts and transmission support - Absolute shifting HEAVEN, you can't even compare the stock unit to it, words just fail to convey what a difference it makes! Your car deserves this shifter....

And @MicheleAbbate you would really benefit from it too... if the rules allow that is...

Looks like a great option.

I had the chance to try the CAE from that very same BRZ (while parked, though)at the Nordschleife this summer and it feels totally badass.
Stock is awesome, but the CAE shifter is in a league of its own.

Still, not sure i would pay that much money for what it offers...

Thanks, I didn't know about that. It looks badass, that's for sure. I've already got a completely aftermarket shifter, but I guess I could always sell the parts.

So... half out of curiosity, half from wanting to actually do it, and half for the lulz... I took my driver's side wiper arm off, replaced it with the passenger side arm, and put the driver's side wiper blade on it. It smacked the body on the first go, so I rotated the arm about 2 degrees and it lined up perfectly. Here are the results.

Nothing most people would consider significant, but it added +10 novelty. Kind of goes with my Lotus theme.

@Anthony I'm about to grab the GTC-250, wondering if you still prefer the 67" or would you consider the 61"?

Thanks!

Even the 61" will be overkill. I went so big because I'd never had a wing before and had my doubts about how well it would actually work. So I wanted to make sure it did. It DEFINITELY does.

So I was sitting outside the gate to some apartments, waiting on my friend to answer his phone to tell me the code to get in. I saw someone in the turning lane in the road with their signal on, about to get in line behind me. Assuming they probably knew the code and not wanting to hold them up, I decided to reverse off to the side to let them through. So I shifted into reverse, started looking behind me, and while totally watching exactly where I was going, I drove my titanium exhaust directly into this plantless planter so squarely, you would have thought I did it on purpose, completely obliterating the last section of my exhaust.

The people whose way I was moving out of saw the whole thing. I told them it was impossible to see, and that the company should put some little trees or a pole in it or something. The lady told me they used to have plants, but they died. Awesome.
