I drove all the way to the only station near me that has E85. I haven't burned E85 for about 9 months and figured, what the hell, I'll go burn the rest of these MPSSs off and enjoy more power for a bit. I get to the station and the one pump that has E85 is out of order. Darn.


Edit: now that I think about it, it has been over a year since I had E85. Now I'm wondering, being on gas that long, I should really notice the power difference once I can fill up with E85 again. 70 more ponies.

Good news: got brand new MP4S, feels awesome even in rain and sub-optimal temps, and idk if just me but looks better than primacy in terms of fitment

Bad news: lugnut seized, stud snapped...

I drove it out of the garage and parked it in the driveway, because it’s raining steadily and I’m hoping the rain will dislodge some of the bugs and make it easier to wash later

Installed my TRD springs and exhaust I picked up during the sale. Man, I really like the sound of the exhaust, and I really like the small change the springs made to the ride. Couldn't be happier.

now, combine those springs with Bilstein struts and you'll be in suspension heaven...

well, I went with B8 for the front and B6 for the rear. Bilstein don't recommend B8 for the rear for daily driving.

Today I installed my dash cam. It tucks nicely behind my rearview mirror, the power wire is practically invisible (it fit nicely inside the wire cover for my rearview mirror), and it doesn't interfere with my sun shade!

I bought this to cover my ass in the event of an accident. With my luck I'll get creamed by some kid who was too busy on their phone to stop or yield properly and they'll try to hold me responsible. I'll just show them my dash cam footage and be off Scott free.

Yeah. I figure I have a few more miles left on the OEM struts so there's no rush - but something like that is definitely the plan down the road.

Definitely. that's what I did. I started having a clunking noise coming from the front passenger side (living here in PR after 2 hurricanes roads have not been on the best shape) and figure it was the strut after checking ball joints, tie rods, sway bar links and sway bar bushings. So, I jumped the gun and bought the struts (which I waited 6 month for one) and it turned out to be the sway bar bushings .
