It takes about six weeks to build up in your system so I won't know for a while. In general I'm doing pretty well at the moment so the goal is to help me stay that way.

I also can't drink at all while on this med. But I rarely drank anyway so no huge loss there. There is some evidence that Marijuana may help Crohn's though so support Medical Marijuana everyone.

After attending yesterday's track event at DCTC, it's amazing how capable our cars are with just upgraded brake pads and tires. Let's just hope our DI seals won't melt, lol.

Are you claiming that the driver isn't the best upgrade?

I use my parts as a crutch, lol. I still have A LOT to learn in terms of driving. :happy0180:

Are you running without an oil cooler?

We should get Ryan to hook us up with some mounts so we can piece together a cheap kit for ourselves like he did. :happy0180:

As someone who was out there with Ayau I have to second this. DCTC is certainly a technical course that lends itself to the BRZ's strengths. Though that doesn't change the fact that despite being down on power it was hanging with pretty much any car that was there that day.

PDX was a phenomenal time, hope I see more FRS/BRZ's out there come October, cause they are pretty formidable there.

That will be one of my first projects for my mill. So if anyone else locally wants a set let me know I'll just charge for materials which is maybe $5.

I'm going to be modifying it to two peice design more like Perrin's to save some weight.

Hopefully I'll have the time, patience, and help from the pros to get my coilovers tuned by then. I think I'll be running a different set of tires by October since I shredded my Direzzas pretty nicely on Sunday

Count me in. Would it be possible to mount the radiator on the OEM bumper rivets instead of drilling holes under the bumper?

See the 5 rivets in the pic below. It's an FRS bumper. I'm assuming the BRZ has the same exact mounting holes?

Maybe mount the cooler off-center to avoid the front license plate? See BRZ RA Racing spec factory oil cooler.

Yep it already does use those holes for a no-drill install.
