I think I will do my first wax job. Have had the car since November 2012, guess it is time.

JUST ordered eibech 1-1.5" lowering springs, 20mm spacers for the front and 30mm spacers for the rear as long as the 'All Day' DD DRL kit.

I'm glad lots of people are as excited as me. There's so many good mods people are doing!

I started wrapping my interior with suede. 2 hours into the mini project I realized suede tends to fade fast. Now I'm waiting for my black panels to come in so can added to my spring mod list.

Contact overland designs for some good OEM+ quality alcantara that will last.

Thanks! Looks like they have similar prices with jpm for alcantara. Now I need to save money. Do you think 3 square yard will be enough for the front dash panel, a and c pillar?

Should be as long as you don't waste material and get everything the first time. Unroll the alcantara, lay the parts ontop of it then try to space them with enough material between them so you have slack to wrap arround the edges before cutting it up.

Well i'll be in Texas for the 1st day of spring so I guess the 1st thing I'm doing is roadtrip back to MA lol.

Ditch the winter shoes, full detail and hitting up the Cabot Trail for sure.

This spring gets the double awesome of being graduation and I have a month free between classes ending and work starting.

For those unfamiliar with the Cabot Trail, its about 300km and goes like this:

The boys in japan must of visited the trail when they designed the handle capabilites of this car. Too early to head down there to visit the family, this time of year there is always a snowstorm in Baddeck if I have to down. Decided on a run to Halifax on saturday instead.

I'd say. I've been up to Ingonish once so far with the BRZ and it just felt like paradise the whole way there.

I lied.

Just washed. Taking a lunch break but will get back to cleaning it up to finish with waxing this afternoon.
