Busy Saturday!
@lamune brought in his very clean BRZ littered with STi/TS parts. He left with some more installed. Full STi lip kit installed along with a Motiv front pipe and over pipe, and a transmission and differential fluid flush with Motul.

In between that install and my afternoon appointment, I finally got a minute to work on my own FRS. It is a rare thing with how busy I have been.

Ground-Control Suspension Systems put together a coilover package for my car with custom spring rates and damping. I am a proud dealer of Ground Control products.

Last was the afternoon appointment. A brand new BRZ with only 553 miles! And two new members to the community. A father/son team who are already in love with their 86. ST coilovers for a nice comfortable drop.

Geeze, how many suspensions did you do this week?

lamune · 05-31-2015, 12:59 PM

What a great way to spend a Saturday morning! I had a blast watching and talking to Neal while he worked on my car.

Your coilovers and strut bar looked sick!!!

edit: HOLY CRAP!! I was not ready for that cold start!!

I feel so left out

I want some RCE Tarmacs or RSR coilovers in my life!

Either can be arranged when you are ready!

Must be the Summer of suspension!

Today @Thatguyjeremy brought his car in to step up from springs to coilovers. Jeremy went with the Tein Basics for their great ride, lowering ability and price point.

Also have been playing with the Z4M track car this week. The ECU was sent out to Active Autowerkes for a tune. The car received catless euro m3 headers, custom spec'd Ground Control sway bars, along with some service and a few adjustments.

Thanks Neal! As always, great quality work! Definitely worth the drive up everytime. And like I mentioned while I was there. I'd be more than willing to borrow the Z and test the tune out for you lol. Until next time !

Nice tip Jeremy. I went with a slant cut polished tip myself. Any reason you exited out the passenger side instead of the driver?

Eh, idk really. I guess to me it's more aesthetically pleasing on that side lol. But I'm thinking of getting another greddy rs muffler and redoing the exhaust again, and try out how it'll look on the driver side.

Very busy last few days.

(Not an 86, but the owner is considering getting into and FRS soon)
Friday brought an e46 M3 in to the shop. I convinced the owner to do his fist track day a few months back, and he is now totally hooked. He came in to upgrade his very tired old Tein coilovers to some new Ground-Control coils and camber plates, as well as some poly rear trailing arm bushings. We also upgraded the front brakes to a Stoptech ST-40 BBK. The whole brake system was then flushed with the fantastic Torque RT700. I just recently became a Torque dealer, and will now be happily distributing and "installing" as much of this great fluid as possible.

Saturday, as most of you were well aware, was the annual Summer Kickoff! Got to chat with tons of new people and hang out with friends and just generally have a good time. Organizers and volunteers made the event run smoothly, even when that church group stole our parking lot.

Finally got to hang with @Patrick@EQTuning again!

Now to today, monday, is normally my day off, but I was happy to accommodate a customer who has a busy schedule himself. Omar came in today for a Kate Cool oil cooler and install, to go with his SBD turbo kit, and also to have the wastegate ported on his turbo to deal with some boost creeping issues.

The Racers Line · 06-11-2015, 11:36 PM

Another day, another happy customer. This is the same owner who got the ST coilovers installed a week or so back. Needless to say, he is getting very into modding the car to his liking. Car only has 1000 miles.

Yesterday the car got:
-Trans drain and fill with Motul
-Whiteline trans bushing insert
-Invidia N1 exhaust with Ti-Tips
