Starting to see a trend...
My brother and I have extremely similar tastes when it comes to cars. So, naturally, our 86's have ended up taking a very similar modification path. Here's the first shot after he too got his RPF1s (albeit his are 18x9.5 vs my 17x9), TOMs tails, KW V3s, and Beatsonic Sharkfin. If I recall correctly, he does have a different front sway bar than me, but I cannot remember which one. He also runs Dunlop ZIIs vs. my Rivals. On track, I may be bias here because it's my car, but I prefer the feel of mine a bit better. Not sure if that's because of the 17s vs 18s, the front sway bar difference, or the tires, but it's just my preference.

Mid America Motorplex Track Day
My brother, dad, and I decided that we wanted to hit the track up in Pacific Junction, IA, Mid America Motorplex. It's a great learner's track that I have spent a ton of time at. It's flat, it's wide, and if you've never been on a track before and you're in that area, it's a great first experience.
Transponders weren't available, but watching the videos, it looks like I was in the high 1:40s and low 1:50s. Not bad, considering I was setting similar lap times in my NSX there.
My brother decided to take both his 86 and his Slicktop Z32 300ZX so that he could compare them on track... as you can see, we're supporters of the "People's Wheel."
The Z32, my 86, my brother's Series 10, and my dad's Nismo 370Z:
Got to meet these guys... you may have heard of them! Yo, Jeremy, it was great meeting you! Had a blast trading laps with Yo on track, some of which can be seen in the video below, and Jeremy took me for a ride in the racecar. Holy crap, I want boost now! Thanks again!

Just a random pic with a friend's E36 M3 and my pops' Z. Fun to look at the size differences.
