WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[ihaskrayon]

I just curbed my wheel because some kid on a skateboard jumped out in front of me and I tried to avoid him and I got my back wheel.

Cop saw me gun it past him, pulled me over. Was kind enough to downgrade to a six over, but wouldn't let me off with a warning.

Was very polite, called him sir, thanked him for doing his job, and asked him what I should do in the future in that situation, and he said "I don't know, slow down instead of speed up?"

Told him that the problem with slowing down is that I'm still behind those bouncing pebbles.

His response, "then just hope you get a happier officer than me next time."

Not sure what Utah laws are, but contest the ticket in court and if the cop shows up, claim mitigating circumstances. If the cop shows up to court, ask to have it kept off your record, pay a reduced fine, for traffic school, or any combination of the above. Also, demonstrate that you passing him was safe to do at the time.

There should be more information online about contesting a speeding ticket in Utah.

Too much clashing red with the STI button and shift knob and AC controls.

I might, but since my record is clean and my time is expensive, it may be better to just take the fine. Traffic school online will already wipe the point from my record. I'll have to see what I can do though.

Yeah...I got my first ever speeding ticket in mine too... but I can't really fault the cop in my case... I was going...quite fast...and in California the show up in court thing is kinda annoying cus you have to show up the first time to plead guilty or not then, they schedule you for the "trial" where if the cop doesn't show up you MIGHT get let off the hook, so you have to go twice. I went with traffic school =/

As for the pebbles - consider Expel or 3M?
I got mine covered with Expel...full hood, partial fenders, partial roof...just areas more likely to get hit.

I got the ClearBra, which helps, but I was also worried about my windshield. I guess I'm just a little overprotective. Gonna call them tomorrow and ask what the process for fighting it in Utah is, I'm originally a NorCal native so I'm not quite familiar with traffic court here.

The last ticket I got was in CA probably 10 years ago, speeding around a drunk driver. Officer pulled me over instead of him cause he saw me first and gave me the same treatment. Didn't bother fighting it then. Apparently I should be slowing down instead of aggressively avoiding things... But try to convince the BRZ to do that. It has a mind of it's own.

Laws vary, but in CA for tickets if you want to fight:

- postpone on last day of original ticket
- postmark a written letter for Trial by Written Declaration on last day of extension
- http://www.courts.ca.gov/8450.htm#tab9275
- If you somehow lose, just ask judge for traffic court.

The goal here is to drag it out so you have the upper hand. About the only thing you'll lose (at the start) is your fine, which you have to pay no matter what.

I did mine the other day. I love it and it looks sick with my rear diffuser. Just gotta check the connection from mid pipe to front pipe. May not be tighten enough

Got my Injen intake installed!

Not trying to rain on your parade, but that is simply an "intake" not a "cold air intake". That is located in the stock position, drawing the same air as the stock intake basically. A cold air intake works by reaching cooler air (typically from down by the road surface), thereby lowering the intake air temp.

While this is theoretically true, why is lower air cooler? Doesn't the higher ambient temperature of the ground warm the air? Is there some article somewhere that proves the lower air is actually cooler?
