If next weekend is considered "spring" then I will be installing a new set of PSS, Project MU HC+800 pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, Perrin drop in filter, Grimspeed MCB, and an STI front lip. Also will be giving it a long overdue bath!

Then going to the track the following weekend!

Got OFH and Perrin 2.5 catback sitting around waiting to be installed, along with clear side markers and led fog bulbs. I'll probably get it title and registered first though.. probably.

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.

cjd 03-20-2015 02:24 PM

I lied.

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

Special_K 03-20-2015 02:36 PM

Sound deadening. I'm officially tired of having to shout over the road noise.

Crestwood1001 03-20-2015 02:38 PM

Well considering its the first official day of spring and we are in the middle of another snow storm here in the northeast.... Ill be picking up my 2013 GBP Limited on Monday from the dealer. I guess ill be joining the club with the unicorn color in a few days!

GotMunchies? 03-20-2015 02:41 PM

I've got an extra set of blank rotors, Hawk HP+ pads, and a stockpile of RBF600 fluid ready for some track time abuse. Time and budget permitting, hoping to get at least two days on the track in this summer.

spdfreak 03-20-2015 08:54 PM

invidia q300!

JS + BRZ 03-20-2015 09:07 PM
