Tonight I'm going to do the Clutch Spring delete. It's free and easy (so the internet says)

The clutch is so much better without that spring. It took about 10-15mins to get it out. The E-clip is lost, it went flying somewhere, but they are easy to replace if anyone is foolish enough to put it back in.

Here is a before and after of the hood (after is painted black)

Had my RCE yellow lowering springs, whiteline camber bolts, Apex ARC-8 wheels and Pirelli P Zero all season tires installed on the 17 PP this weekend. More pictures to come once the weather clears up and I can do a proper detail. Also oem springs, tires and Performance Package wheels will all be for sale if anyone is interested. Loving the new set-up so far! Last picture is stock wheels with just the RCE springs. Name: brzapex.JPG

My pictures didn't load....hopefully this works. It still needs one good sanding and buffing (a couple little runs in the corners with the clear). I'm having the whole car detailed this week sometime (remnants of IRMA will delay it).

I like the red pinstripe.

Went to the dealer and got all the goodies for an oil change. The bill was $48. After almost two years of 911 ownership, I thought someone had forgotten to type in a "1" at the beginning...

Been daily-driving the BRZ again for a few days now. I'd forgotten how much I love this little car: it's so light, so neutral, and so loose! Smiles for days. So tempted to throw a supercharger on this car, keep the little 225-section tyres, and add a splitter / diffuser (maybe a tasteful wing?). It would be such a little monster with a little more power and no additional grip :3

Awesome! Post some more pics, especially ones with the OEM wheels. Looks great.

Thanks. It did add a subtle look in the front.==

Was able to confirm firsthand that oversteer is a thing, and traction control is also a thing.

The traction control is very invasive on this car
