Saw your car this morning. It reminded me of track days ahead.

Also saw @KingGeo at work today. I was pretty surprised.

Assuming it doesn't fall on me, yep!

At least it will be warm tomorrow. I have a feeling I'll be sore tomorrow night though.

On tap for installation tomorrow:
- OFH header
- Perrin steering rack lockdown
- Perrin front control arm brace
- Hotchkis strut tower brace
- Differential and tranny fluid

Since it's supposed to be cold next week I'm not putting the summers on yet, which means I'll be doing the brake fluid flush and other brake maintenance next weekend.

Edit: Booked for 1morelap on May 1. @pushrod, you going to be there?

I'd like to! I won't be ready for the April 26 event though. I contacted 1MoreGreg for the password just now, so hopefully there's spots left for May 1 by the time I hear back.

Unrelated: check out this model of my car that one of my friends made. It has the proper FT86Club stickers and everything!

That's a great model! Don't forget to keep it updated with your mods.

@Pbrown, took the other car out for the first time this spring -- holy horsepower!

well hopefully everyone took advantage of the nice weather today took my car out for some spring cleaning. Changed the oil, diff and tranny fluid. got my camber set up so the new rim/tires dont rub, mounted the new rims/tires. went for a little spin. washed the car when i got home. cleaned the garage. and took some pictures. that was a busy day!

Almost finished. Didn't realize that the OFH didn't come with bolts to connect to the front pipe. Doh!

Off to Crappy Tire tomorrow morning.

Oh yeah, definitely sore right now.

Is someone driving a FRS with a chameleon-type wrap or paint job? Briefly saw it cross Woodroffe at Hunt Club - it was heading west - around 5:00 tonight.
Where are the April showers?!?!?

Looks like Mendes? Nice rig.

Nice rims Kenny -- I've got a weakness for the 5-spoke styles.

All my gears actuate smoothly now that's it's all worn in. It is still much stiffer then stock but no more notchiness.

If you are finding that it's really notchy and your having trouble getting in gear then it might that you need to adjust the metal plate that lines up your gears like I said in the write up it could cause difficulty if not placed properly.

Yeah I took careful time to adjust that, trying to find the best spot for 1st and 6th gear engagements and think I have it. Its just a bit tougher entering 5th and 6th now but I figured that could be because of the mtec springs
