Winter is upon us. I know I am stopping for the winter. But here is my car journal.

If anyone has any questions about any of the parts I have I can let you know where I got them as well as any reviews.

Come spring I will be purchasing the Rota RT5 in hyperblack and the Evasive Downforce front and sides.

I really want the BRZ rear diffuser but dealer cost is a hell of a lot.

good old milwaukee Bump!

I just picked up a set of used, black RPF1s in a 17x8 +45 for autocross this season (will add 245/40 RS3s). I also ordered a Strano front 22mm sway bar. Those mods will keep me in C stock for the year, should be fun.

I also picked up some weathertech mats (awesome) and the PIAA wipers with the spoilers on them, the Super Sporza I think, which haven't arrived yet.

We should do a winter meet up somewhere. Maybe Whole Foods parking lot? It's underground and heated.

Bad thing is I cannot seem to keep the car clean long enough to even leave my apartment's parking lot :mad0259:

^ Awesome. I'll be there for sure.

I hope you meant 17x7 for the rims. Any width other than that and it is no longer C stock.

Glad you said something about the weathertech's! I was never notified by them that they were finally for sale! Order placed! =)

I'm running with the Madison Sports Car Club and were afforded +2 points which can be gained in a variety of ways. +1 for each sway (so just +1 for my front sway) and then +1 for every full inch of wheel diameter or wheel width. I could actually go to a 7.5" wheel and still have a point to spend, but I got the wheels at a good deal so I decided they could be my other point.

Basically if we ran a Touring and Stock class there wouldn't be enough people so they combined the two and allowed 2 points in the stock class...which in essence means there is no stock class.

Guy in a nice Legacy GT this morning looks at my car in the parking lot:

"You should have waited for the turbo."
"They likely aren't releasing a turbo."
"I read they were going to in 2013"

/facepalm

If other subie enthusiasts don't even know what's going on with our car, I have no hope for the general public.

Hahaha you have no idea how many times I hear that said...but more referring to be buying the scion and not the Subaru.

They say, "ahhh i would never drive a scion if I were you I would just get the Subaru, i hear they are awd and will be turbo with the sti"

people believe anything they read i guess

Hey everyone in Milwaukee looking for that Opti coat like wax check this out...

http://t.livingsocial.com/deals/606252?ref=email-jp&rpi=107054092&rui=146600257

Its half off!!! Im getting the black tie package.

That seems like a pretty solid deal. Thanks for the heads up!

Just make sure you get the black tie or better as that has the elite shield which is the paint protectant like opti coat.

Got the black tie deal.

+1 on the black tie deal as well, we should all set up an appointment at the same day/time and have a mini-meet while they work on our cars ha

Mine is for next sat March 9th. at 9 am.

Oh, I was going to wait for winter to be done with to use this...plus thats my birthday and I am sure I will not be in a driving state at that time of day :happy0180:

Actually now my friends want to go up to the Dells that weekend. Looks like im re-booking.

Well to give a review after getting detailed...

The interior was cleaner than when I picked up the car. Dont freak out when you open the car and the floor mats are gone. They leave them in the trunk. But I do suggest just taking everything out that you can. They almost forgot to put my cup holders back in the middle but no biggie.

As for the outside I did a quick look around mainly for any new dents that would have occured during detailing. But none...I was happy.

As for the job I would say very nicely done. A few spots missed on the paint but again no biggie as they walk out with you as you walk around your car and you can point out any spots and they take care of it. I did come early to pick it up so maybe they were still finishing it.

Over all I am very happy.

I'm in Texas for work so I had to cancel my initial appointment. I'll review as well when I'm done. I've had some slight issues with them in the past but only on their cheap washes, and I've heard they have new mgmt in place now so I figured I'd give them another try.

I had a car detailed at Johnny Buffit (located in the Citgo just down the street from the Milwaukee Market) and they did an amazing job. If not for this deal I'd go back to them, and likely will in the future.

When you said they missed a few spots what did you mean by that? Missed buffing out the wax they put on?

I wouldn't say missed completely. Id say it was more of the buffer going over it and not getting it all so there was light residue in a spot or two. I always wonder if they do as good of job on others who pay full price vs us who have the coupon.

anyone planning to go to opening day and or exhibition games? FR-S tailgait?

Hi guys, I just picked up a new whiteout frs at wilde toyota a few days ago, it was the 6sp MT that was sitting in the showroom! Has a few dealer options and exhaust n intake. Was told this is this the only whiteout MT one in milwaukee???

Hey good buy!!! Too bad you didn't take the enkei rims too.

Got mine there too...Eddie was my sales guy and they treat me right every time. They will do the same for you too. in fact Eddie texted me the day the white FRS was sold. Glad to see you made it onto the forums. They had a red one before yours on the floor too with a ton of mods and sold it to a 60 year old. :(

If you have any questions hit me up.

I'll be there! :)

Thanks bro! The enkie's was just not my taste, otherwise i would snatch em up also.
My salesman was mike b. he is pretty good also, very easy to work with but hard to bargain against lol i give him that... Anyways i was wondering if anybody here is into competing in autoX with their frs/brz in milwaukee. There is an event this weekend and i would love to join but still need to add more mileage first.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I live in Miilwaukee with a whiteout MT as well, but the more the merrier! :D

Bring it on down this weekend! I'll be there. I have been autocrossing for the past 5 years now. I am building my car for the STX class. I just signed up this morning for the event on Sunday. I will be at every single event!

Congrats! That is not true, I received the "first" MT whiteout from them back in October.

Were you driving down 43 Southbound next to my Raven today?

Yea nice guys so there are others! What a great color i tell ya, only other color i would of settle for would of been firestorm...

Nice i will come and watch the races this weekend. Hope to see you there!!!

On another note, has anybody thought of interchanging parts with a brz??? Like the headlights and so on???

Idk but i do drive on 43 to work n back lol, so maybe it could of been me!

Ha you would've noticed me, I pulled up right next to a whiteout...and then he took the locust or North Ave. exit

:search:

Nope, that was me! I almost got clipped trying to follow you when a van merged towards me from the left lane almost into the side of me! I do exit on North Avenue since I live on the East Side.

ah yes I saw that van, you were speeding up and saw the cut-off

Pretty nice mods you got going on!

BRZ in Brookfield
 

I've got a Lightning Red BRZ in Brookfield

Yeah! I had to lay on the horn and slow down for him! I thought that was it for my FR-S! Thanks, I am pretty happy with my mods so far. I will be installing some new wheels and the Stivo spoiler within the next couple of weeks too. ;)
