Haha sure. Sounds good

@Acree do you charge for the lighting stuff? Wanted to tint my headlights as well and also wire so that my led daylight lights stay on all the time

@Acree @bjun @Drift&Drag We should all meet up after cars and coffee this Saturday. Seems like we're the very few ones extensively modifying our 86's in Dallas :)

Sounds like a great idea!

@Acree , Did you ever get pics of how you routed the brake ducting to the rotor backing plates when you installed them?

I'm very interested in seeing your turbo kit. It seems like a whole lot better deal than what I got. :party0030:

That would be bad ass but my car won't be ready for a few more months. I plan on meeting Acree this Saturday at the shop. But yeah, once my car is finished, we can definitely get some exclusive meets going. :cool:

well that's what I meant we can roll there to your shop :bonk:

Just remembered I saw that you took your car to Texas Track works for alignment/fender rolling, and I'll be over there in the next couple weeks doing the same. I am curious, did they roll anything up front besides the part by the side marker? The lip up front looks to be rolled enough everywhere but there.

Also, any idea what kind of camber you ended up with? Looks like a great daily height/alignment. Probably going to drop my car off there next week.

I have class from 9am to 11:50am, so I'll be at CnC early. I'll head to class around 8:15 or so and can meet up after noon if you guys want to grab lunch or head to see @Drift&Drag's build.

I did not because I never installed them. I'm actually going to sell the APR backing plate kit and hoses and go with the TF backing plates and hoses routed to the APR ducts. The APR kit blows air onto the inside rotor surface instead of forcing it into the center to blow out through the veins. IMHO, this is a less than preferred design.

They just basically rolled everything on the front fender. I had to go back and pull the front fenders out where the front bumper mounts to get the tires to clear under full compression. The camber is -2.4* all around. I still have an issue with the rear driver fender clearing at the very top. As soon as I have time to get that straightened out, I'll move it back to -2.0* all around.

Blue LED Interior Conversion

I've been doing LED interior conversions since 2005. I started on the 350Z/G35 platform and moved on to the Evo 8/9/10 when I bought my evo 9. With under 500 miles on my car, I converted the BRZ.

Every LED has been selected with the exact same spectral distribution. This means that the color blue perceived between components is identical. In some of the pics, the color of blue appears to be lighter. In reality, the color is exactly the same as the first picture. Unfortunately the camera renders brighter blue light as a "lighter" blue in the photos.

This is the true color and evenness of the LCD screens.
