They do it in the Kmart parking lot bu haven't been over there recently either (Saturday nights).

I think I met you @the mothers day meet @jeffsides? Havent seen or heard from you since. Are you FI yet?

Hi. Basically what these guys said. So far we're only really 5-7 "regular" guys, but Ive kinda been trying for every other week. Fantastic group of guys, I think most of us are late 20s? I personally live in Surprise as does @Jstunna,a couple guys live in Avondale & Westgate area, & theres a couple from Central Phoenix,which is kinda why we chose the Westgate area. Its a 20 minute drive for almost all of us. Originally we we're meeting @TheSandbar which closed,so we moved to Native's which has a really cool patio which overlooks our parking arrangement. Anyone is welcome, all you do is show up. We go in,get tables in the bar & have a beer(s),food if you're hungry(60cent wings Tuesday),but its a great time,lots of laughs,some GREAT Then we hang around the cars showing off the latest mods We're usually done & headed home by 10:30 so it's not a real late weeknight out or anything. And thats pretty much a wrap. All you need to do is check the forum periodically to see if theres a pic with the date/location posted and then show up! Native New Yorkers off 95th & Glendale in front of Cabellas. See you soon. (March 4th?)
On a somewhat unrelated note: spotted a silver BRZ @Surprise Home Depot today,left "spotted card" & note. New member?

It's been about a month since the last one, iirc.

It looks great! How was the fit and finish?

I am not sure to be honest. The only time I have been to Jeff's was the first official 86 gathering/BBQ a year ago. I have been FI since last May.

I believe I heard about your car being at JDL earlier this week. Also heard you had thought about swapping headers but some fitment was a slight issue.

Alright making progress on the scratches.
I got the Megan Diff Brace installed.
@amaciose picked up and installed his newest upgrade. I think he likes it lol.

I also started this project for @4azcats stock header no heat shields with the cat punched out. This along with the minor exhaust changes should be interesting. It should also be interesting to get him to do said mods.

Finish was great, there were no obvious signs of imperfections, I suspect the weld on the piece that has the Whiteline logo was not as nice as their quality control would have liked, still looked perfect to me. (Besides it is barely visible.)

Fit, it was really a tight fit with the lower engine shield. I had to loosen some bolts on that piece as well to shift it over as I put the brace on. After everything lined up fine. No complaints, just very tight.

Overall, am very happy for the price, doubt I would pay $200 plus shipping, but the $84 was a bargain.

Did rear differential fluid swap today. Stock fluid smells AWFUL! had some metal-y paste on the drain plug magnet, but no noticeable chunks, so I'll call it a victory. Also installed my Grimmspeed hood struts. Pain in the ass to do by myself, but I managed, and it looks much better now. The install is actually really easy, just would have been helpful to have a spare pair of hands. Hopefully this will keep my hood from warping any more than it already has.

I was at JDL on Wednesday correct. We were more or less curious if there would be any issues with the equal length on my setup and yes there was very minimal interference with my setup. Very easily rectified and I may still go that route at some point but it's hard to let go of the sound of my JDL UEL.
