You won't be disappointed. Check with @DKPJester about splitting a case. Spending money for him..
What fluid did you use?

I put on m new (used) Invidia N1 exhaust today.. courtesy of @Qkool

It sounds great.. very deep and mean. It's a little too loud for me for daily driving though. It gets really loud in the cabin between 3 and 4k rpms. But, I think a set of silencers for daily use will do the trick.

I had a blast at AutoX today. The SouthWest lot at the silver dome is quite different that the usual lot. Kind of puts our cars at a disadvantage since its pretty much all slopped. This means that for much of the course, we're driving up hill. Oh well.

I'm pretty sure I cam 5th out of 5 in my class. It was Me, an FRS and 3 RX-8's. I know i could have made up a few seconds but it doesn't matter. I had fun. I'll put together and upload a video tomorrow.

I wasn't sure if it was a BRZ or FRs. Dark Blue making a left turn from 5 mile to Sheldon. Spotted at 7:30am on 4/28.

@eikond

Guys, FYI, bought this Motul pack from CSG because of overall good Motul reviews, cold-weather usability and the spout. http://counterspacegarage.com/produc...t86-track.html

The 300LS is for the differential and is GL-5.

I haven't done the change yet but will get to it this weekend or the next.

Don't forget the crush washers and here's an awesome DIY guide http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19218

I spaced on coming by and saying hi during the event, I was in the white 06 STi.

The surface out there was ridiculous! Once I stopped trying to find grip and just slide around all the corners i dropped 3 seconds. Still got beat by that EVO though...

From the Kettering event, with a video of my best run (55.5 seconds sorry about the radio being on haha) and my second best (56.4 seconds with a passenger) I think first place overall ran a 51.9. There were no classes at this event, it was just a run what you brung type deal. Was definitely fun testing out my new setup.

My AutoX run at Tire Rack that included a big slide. It was .7 seconds slower than my fastest run, but it was also the most fun. My dad was giggling after the slide.

Just installed some new springs on my FRS this past week. You all have any recommendations for a place to get an alignment done?
