Le us know how you like the Ferrodo pads, I used them on my STi and Evo and loved them, great streetability and consistent after multiple track sessions. I'll probably get them again for the BRZ.

Will do man, just from street driving after the install i can see why you liked these so much, initial bite is great and so is pedal feel, no noise so far though ive only driven it around 35 miles since i installed them. Big Probs to JMS Racing here in San Antonio for the awesome brake install, pedal feels great!!



Installed another goody:

Motiv Concepts Pipe that get rid of the resonator and restrictive cat. I opted for the High flow cat version since i was going to be fully catless when i delete the header one, the motiv pipe is available catted or un catted btw.
I decided to heat wrap and silicone coat the part that comes close to the tranny so i could keep it a bit cooler. Car sounds awesome ive got the AP catback and now with the motiv piping the exhaust tone sounds deeper i love it!!

Any ways props to Motiv for doing an awesome product the quality is amazing. Im looking forward to more products from Motiv.

How it was packed!! Props for Motiv for throwing in a nice t shirt, its always nice when a company pampers their customers!! Instructions were awesome BTW very clear with good pictures.

All right guys, had another lap session today and broke my personal best of 1.33.1 with a 1.31.5 . Car had everything when i ran the .33.1 lap time except new Ferodo DS2500 Pads with spiegler lines and AP fluid + a Motiv HFC and a AP lightweight pulley. There is a section on the track that is coned off due to a new patch of pavement that is being left to cure. Im sure when this patch dries i should shave a few more tenths of a second of my time since i will be able to hit the apex im sure im about to break into the 1.30's maybe even .29's which would match my C63 with sticky tires and 420whp!! Let me also thank JMS Racing for helping me setup the car and @JRitt from Essex Parts that helped me setup the car with this awesome brake combo. I look forward to running their AP BBK. Well guys im in lotus territory as of right now so i am very happy with the way the car is coming along. No problems so far toyota and subaru have built us a very solid car!!

Though i would share some pictures and video from the track today. Got a new trailer as well so i should be making more events nationwide!! This little car has surprised me a lot in good ways!! Just recently it pulled more g's than my ex R-35 GT-R. Lightweight FTW!!

Just for a quick refresh my modded C63 ran a 1.29.5 and my Full bolt on R-35 GT-R ran a 1.26.1 . Considering the power disadvantage this is a very fast car in the corners its only two seconds off the c63's pace.

More mods are on the way so stay tuned for more videos!!

Im north central and the track is about 1 hour away from me. Its on exit 206 on hwy 35 hidden between some back roads. Probably a good 1:30 minutes from you i would guess. Its a pretty cool track, its basically a country club for cars that is membership based. All the members are cool as hell. You should go to the track and take a tour im sure you will be sold on the membership if you plan on tracking often. :thumbsup:

Awesome thread. I have been looking for an FR-s that has the Cusco rear arms installed.

Question: Do you get alignments each time you switch your wheel/tires from Enkei 17" to Works 18"? Or are you just aligned to one setup and switch tires as you want?

I ask, because I'd like my car aligned to 18" street wheels and use 17" racing wheels without alignment.

Doesnt matter what size wheels you align with thats what my alignment guy said. :D

@pcasso87 - mind if I asked what alignment settings you like with your setup? I wasn't able to find you mentioned your settings. Thanks!

No problem man ill share with you what has been working for me as of right now. I may go with a bit more negative camber up front and in the rear just to try something different but this setup imo works great.
