That's gonna be hard since I took out our argento monogram from the showroom and put the steel '15 in. Haha. We don't have any more 10 series. imo, steel is like silver ignition, but without the pearl effect.

I am seriously done with retarded suspension work. When I installed my springs the rear passenger side was a nightmare that ended with pulling everything off including the axle. Now it is just a repeat trying to swap upper control arms. The ball joint wont come all the way out and there is so much tension on the bolts they wont budge either even though the nut is off. Playing with a jack under the hub does nothing and there is no clearance to whack them out with anything either. The first time i thought it was user error but twice? What the hell could cause my suspension to be that jacked up?

Most info and pics so far. If they confirm turboit may know the next car in my driveway. The spyder shopping is on hold for the time being. Lol

Ya, saw the reveal too, I love it! Plus, it is some how much lighter than the previous version (thanks to some skyactive voodoo). Unfortunately I only have room for one impractical car in my garage. On the other hand, I might just hold for this instead:

Hope it gets a good beating with the old bro stick, this still looks a little too 2008 if you ask me.

Too right. Subaru is really late to the Altezza tail light scene. I assume that's just a mule, therefore possibly having camouflaged tails, but they look awful. The rear should look different and the flares around the quarter panels look especially mismatched.

Looks good but wish it was more like some of the artists renders I saw where it was more S2000ish.
The 2200 lbs weight is impressive for a modern car but ... The MR2 spyder did that 14 yrs ago.

But the power to weight ratio will be better and it will probably handle very well. Interested to see what a Fiat model will look like.

Haha. True, but this one has a trunk (and usually a spacious one at that). I did like some renderings a lot more but this isn't bad. I'm sad that the xray images look N/A though. The spyder is coming back out of the corner swinging. Lol

True, but the Spyder didn't have to comply with 2014 bulky/heavy safety standards either

I'm actually glad that its not turbo'd, just does not seem right. But hey, if its like any other miata, a kit will be out in no time along with a V8

Any BayArea people going to Irwindale 86fest this month 09-21-14 ?

Pwolf · 09-04-2014, 11:43 PM

Anyone coming out to the airshow this weekend in Sac? I was out there today taking arrival pictures:

I'll be there the rest of the week/weekend taking pictures. Should be a great show this year. If you've never seen the F-22 fly... it's pretty awesome, you should see it :P

Clipdat · 09-05-2014, 01:08 AM

Great shot! Stunning!

MyRx · 09-05-2014, 08:53 PM

New outdoors store has opened in Dublin, CA (ahh like 10 min from me). They cater to outdoor activities such as guns, fishing, hunting, knives, etc etc. It's a soft opening now so their shelves are still filling up with inventory. But comes 9/26 - 9/28 when its their grand opening weekend and they promise to suffice the outdoorsy in all of us. Also to mention, they will have a 25yard, 12lane, indoor shooting range. Ahh!! I want a new pier rod/reel!

Pwolf · 09-05-2014, 11:51 PM

This is a thing that will happen soon

Clipdat · 09-06-2014, 02:09 PM

2.5" resonated? If so you have chosen very wisely.
