Tossed on a master cylinder brace.
Probably the easiest thing I've done to the car aside from air filter.

Maybe it was just trying to keep up with you to admire your freshly waxed car -

A hint for you, you don't have to wax the whole car - just that hump on the left front fender, to see it shine, as you are driving the car.

Yes, for track days, waxing the front end will make a difference, the sides and back, not so much -

Finally made the custom center-exit catback exhaust I always wanted to build for the last 5'ish years...



Video clip of it..



It's not 100% done-done, but functionally done... little bit of work left on reducing the tip back some.

They thread I made on it is here: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135940

Also installed Torque Solution shifter rear bushing and driveshaft carrier bearing support bushings since right there for exhaust work.

Naw, think you are trying to copy me...



No fake diffusor and custom exhaust since late 2013/early 2014...

Serious question though, why running separate reverse lights instead of using the Tail-as-Turn with stock housing for reverse lights?

Lexon tails. Can't use tail for turn/reverse. There isn't much on my car that is still stock.

I'll be making a big Charvonia style diffuser soon to hide my mufflers
