Opened the truck, pulled up the rubber tray and realized that I do have a spare tire. Satisfied ...

Switched teams

Trying out the #BRZMasterRace this time around following my accident.

'17 Yellow.Series... feels way more refined than my '13 FR-S -- I appreciate all the little changes!



I guess I'll be visiting this side of the forum more!

Yeah I had read the MPSS do well for a performance tire in the rain.

Thankfully it's dry as a bone here in the summers. Guess I'll find out next year.

A day late, I know... I was preoccupied.

Yesterday I took my last ride in this one, probably. I was not driving, but was in the passenger seat. What a great almost 18000 miles though.

Oh, yes... my washer fluid is still full. I've never topped it off... Not sure I can say the same about the radiator.

Unsure if anything pushed into the crank - for better or worse, the Nameless header will tell the tale clearly (and is also likely toast). If hit, even the engine is done. If not, someone may get to have some fun with it. Unlikely the repair costs are worthwhile for me. Alignment looked good, car rolled fine. Holy nasty bruise from the seat-belt.

Stay safe out there.

Condition is unquestionably good for use as a rolling chassis to start a build. Outside chance the front pinch didn't do structural damage requiring replacement beyond the crash beam. Motor still an unknown. However... it's not for me. If I were looking to get into track events and had space, a trailer, etc. you bet I'd be considering it. Also, not particularly interested in drifting.

Also, the funding situation being what it is, we're going to be having to work something out.

Major bummer Was who was driving your car at fault?

Also, if it's totaled... There are a few good STX builds for sale right now. Slevin's car is dirt cheap for what it is.

And, if you end up wanting a 17 or 18, PM me!

I'll only lose the header (I assume) and maybe the intake, the rest is coming off. I'm not really in the market for a built STX car. I may be lazy and leave some of the white line inserts...

Not sharing any details on the event. It was on private property and is out of pocket. Mostly my pocket, but will see how it works out.
