They should absolutely buy one, and do whatever they think it should have, meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy mine with a Delicious Tune ASAP, until it gets either JDM STI or Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs, and associated arms and rods for proper alignment. Santa is going to bring me Ace headers (update the tune), if that's not fun enough, then eventually an Edelbrock SC, with Jackson Racing Radiator/Oil Cooler (with an updated tune). Honestly, even if I don't FI it, I'll still probably get the radiator, for peace of mind.

I park pretty hard. I'll let that sink in.

Except for when I'll be driving thru the Texas Hill Country, maybe look into some AutoX or track days. I used to track sport bikes, but they need to be parked once in a while too. But it's hard to get that kind of camber on a motorcycle without seriously endangering your life on your way to the parking event.

I'm bored, can you tell? Seriously, just going stir crazy because I'm waiting for some paint work to get fixed, and they can't do it while it's raining. So I wait.

Looking forward to learning from you guys. Especially the finer points of hard parking.


Which part of TX? If you're at Dallas, come join us at NTAXS.

Hill Country eh? You in Austin or SA? If you are between those two areas, look into the series of roads called the "Three Sisters" out by Leakey. Some of the best twisties in Texas!

I’ve ridden the sisters on motorcycles over the years, great friggin roads that I imagine will make this car shine. I’m retired, so I just figured I’d just enjoy the "going," since I don’t have to actually be anywhere except for the VA hospital.

I was living in the Fort Hood area. A couple years ago I lived in San Angelo. I’ve been visiting my dad in Alabama, and just bought mine. I haven’t figured out where I’m gonna live when I get back to Texas, but definitely somewhere in that state.

I might have to come check out a NTAXS event, and any others around. I need something to do. Lol

Well there are plenty events in Texas. Someone further up the page mentioned the Dallas group. There's also a pretty big Houston group. I'm in the Austin group. Basically for every major city in Texas! Every year around 8/6 (heh) we get a group to drive the Sisters. So lots to do no matter where you decide to stay.

Awesome, well when I get back, I’ll definitely try to make the 8/6 sisters group drive. Thanks for the heads up about events. I’ll probably go watch a few before I make a fool of myself. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll probably still make a fool of myself, but maybe not so bad. LOL!! Thanks for the heads up. I guess I won’t have an excuse to be bored.

Yes please. Forward me their contact info.

I'd rather have BRZ tS be at the top and the ###/500 be larger at the base.
