That sucks, man...ugh.

I was a Discount Tire today and my car was parked all nice and centered in a big slot but, these weird ppl kept coming close to backing into it, etc. Dang warzone out thar!!!!!

Purty tires-n-wheels and boy....do it handle nice now. Them Prius tires sucked!!!! Put on Brembo slotted rotors and EBC greenstuff pads on front. I can tell a big difference already. Waiting on pads for rears + power slot rotors.

They were too much!!! Brembo slotted from TireRack. If I were to do it again...I'd go with Power Slots F & R.

"Dynotronics magic" is moving up on my list now. Looking forward to spooking the buzzards on the road while data logging!

Nothing like coming up on a pack buzzards in 3rd gear trying to hit redline....
The horn works in these cars....it's not a wimpy horn like in the 350z.

$213 a pair for the brembo rotors is not bad bro...but yeah power slots F & R are the way to go.

All you need now is the dynotronics tune and some lowering springs or the KW Coilovers...

That sucks, Matt. Hopefully you can get it fixed up quickly and as good as new.

It's the shipping from TireRack that was a bit rash...coulda got power slots w/free shipping @ ft86speedfactory.

This Ecutek data logging is addictive! Did some more logging for Joe the Master Tuner today. My 3rd gear data logging spot is crystal! Hehe!

If any of you are on the fence on getting a Ecutek tune. Dynotronics is the best way to go.

I was behind a blue FR-S today on IH35...who was dat? You had some pretty pimp wheels!
